SUP Application
I purchased this property in early 2021, and when I purchased there was a storage building onsite in the backyard that
had a bathroom with water and sewage, along with an electrical sub panel: powering lights, outlets, and a fan. There
was a stackable washer and dryer (gas) In the storage area.
Towards the end of 2021 my mother's medical prognosis worsened (8 year battle) and It became clear that she could
not live alone, My wife and I remodeled the building to make a living space for her once she returned from the hospital.
We split up the work shop area into a bedroom and a bathroom instead of one large room, keeping all plumbing and
electrical where they were, but upgrading the toilet and sink to a newer model. We turned the storage area into a living
roorn/kitchenette and waited off a portion for a laundry room, and kept the washer/dryer where they were but replaced
with a newer model.
We Installed vinyl flooring, replaced the trim, and painted the walls. We Installed better Insulation in the attic and
Installed a back door where there was previously a roll up door.
We replaced the old siding with a nicer siding consistent with the main home's and the neighborhoods, as well as
painted it.
We hired a roofing company to put a new roof on, and an ac cornpany to install a mini split unit for cooling and heating.
Prior to the remodel, We hired a plumber to assess the plumbing, and they said It was In good shape. We hired an
electrician to make sure the breaker box was safe or needed replacing, to which they said there was no need. We had
my brother in-law who is a professional engineer assess the structure to make sure it was worth remodeling, who said It
was in great shape.
My mother enjoyed the stay, and has since passed away, We kept it clean for out of town guests to stay in on occasion
and only had to utilize it for this purpose a few times.
We have now moved and the reactor has brought to our attention that the building was never permitted to have
water/sewer, electricity, gas, or be lived In.
We are now trying to get a special use permit to sell the home with the mother In caw suite,
