  a. Accessory Dwelling Units

  The Board discussed apartments versus ADUs and whether they are synonymous with one
  another. Wendy Schoenwetter suggested adding to the town code “Follow the town code for
  the apartments or ADUs regarding all utilities.” Max Strasser recommended the owner should
  live on the property. Wendy asked if ADU residents should carry separate insurance. The
  Board requested Mapendo Tumaini review the current town code including these
  recommendations and draft a code for the Board to review prior to the August meeting. The
  Board requested Scott Rider attend the August meeting to ensure accuracy when amending
  the Apartment code. It was unanimously decided to table the discussion and vote for this until
  the August meeting.
