He stated that it is an existing single-family home <br />which the owner would like to add a two-story addition of a garage with an accessory apartment above <br />for his father. There will be off-site parking for the accessory apartment. <br />Chris Cridler asked for clarification on the off-site parking. Mark Salvati clarified that it was on-site, but off- <br />street. <br />Phil Robichaud, abutter from 16 Scout Hill Lane asked Mark Salvati if the accessory apartment was <br />attached and Mark Salvati stated it was. <br />Cy Caouette asked for clarification of the total square footage of the accessory apartment. Andrew <br />MacNichol read the Building Inspector, Bret Bennett's letter to the board which states the accessory <br />apartment would be 742 square feet. The addition could be done by right but due to the accessory <br />apartment a Special permit would be needed. The existing dwelling is 2,252 square feet and one-third of <br />that would be 750 square feet. He has no objections to this project. <br />Phil Robichaud asked if the accessory unit could be rented to someone in the future. The homeowner <br />Timothy Fennelly stated that its intent is to use it as an in-law apartment and if at some point his father <br />is not there it would be used as an additional room for the family. <br />Page I 1 <br />
