RE: Plan reviews for Accessory Dwelling Units
The Town of Waterford Planning and Zoning Commission recently enacted new zoning
regulations that allow residential homeowners to construct detached Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADU) on the same parcel as existing single-family homes. The newly enacted
regulations establish standards and criteria relative size, height and location on the
property as well as being subject to design review by the Design Review Board.
Applications for the construction of ADU’s are reviewed and approved administratively
by the Building Official and Zoning Official. In accordance with the Zoning Regulations,
the Design Review Board shall make recommendations to the Zoning Official concerning
the design’s compliance with Section 3.36.1.9 of the Zoning Regulations. Specifically
Section 3.36.1.9 states that, relative to an ADU, “The exterior for any new structure or
addition shall be designed to reflect and incorporate the architectural style and design of
the principal structure.”
To that end, this application is the first submitted for an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Your
packet contains the architectural rendering, site plan survey and photographs of the
existing house, along with an aerial photo to provide a perspective of the location of the
parcel. The Zoning Official has reviewed the application for its conformance with all
other standards and criteria outlined in the Zoning Regulations and has determined that
the proposal is consistent with those standards.
