STAFF ANALYSIS:
The R-2 zoned, 2.69± acre lot located at 17 Cameronwood Lane is currently
occupied by a large, two-story, single family residence. The owners are requesting
approval of a conditional use permit to allow for construction of a one story,
1,000 square foot accessory dwelling which will serve as a pool house and a
residence for the applicant's mother. The accessory dwelling will not be rental.
The accessory dwelling will be constructed with a white siding exterior to match the
existing house. Separate utilities are requested.
The 1980 Bill of Assurance for Cameronwood does not include a prohibition against
the proposed guest house/pool house. It does include the requirement of approval
from the architectural review committee which the applicant states has been
received. It does also include the following statement:
All lots shall be used solely for residential purposes and no improvement or structure
shall be placed or maintained on any lot other than private single family dwelling unit
and accessory structures related to residential use (including well houses, sheds
and barns).
To staff knowledge, there are no outstanding issues. The proposed guest
house/pool house appears to be compatible with the neighborhood. Septic system
approval from the Health Department must be provided to staff prior to construction
of the accessory dwelling.

following conditions:
