She noted that the preliminary plat for the Seven Greens PUD was approved on June 26,2001 and contains 70 single-family lots.

The accessory dwelling unit would need to be constructed above an attached or detached garage. 3. The accessory dwelling unit would need to comply with the setbacks as for the living portion of the principal dwelling. 4. The floor area could not exceed the principal dwelling unit up to 1,000 square feet. 5. The property owner would need to reside in one of the units. 6. There would need to be a rental license for the accessory dwelling unit. 7. There would be no separate ownership of the accessory dwelling unit. 8. The accessory dwelling unit's architectural design would need to be compatible with the principal dwelling. 9. Two on-site parking spaces would be required for the accessory dwelling unit. 10. There would be a separate and marked address for the accessory dwelling unit. 11. The accessory dwelling unit would need to comply with other Building/City Code requirements. 12.
