Re: Special Use Permit - 533 Prospect Avenue

Dear Members of the Village Board,
We are submitting this request on behalf of our client, Erin Redding and Zachary Goodrich, for a
Special Use Permit to build a combination garage with a one-bedroom, single-story accessory dwelling
unit (ADU) at 533 Prospect Avenue. The goal is simple: create a little more garage and storage space
and a small, accessible living space in back for family and occasional guests. The use is strictly
residential and low impact.

Below is a quick summary of what we're proposing:
  •  A one-story detached garage with an integrated, single-level ADU at the rear. Approximately
  500 SF garage+ 475 SF ADU space. The overall height will be below the primary home.
  Architecture, roof pitch, siding, windows, and colors will match the main house.
  •  The ADU will consist of 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and a small living/kitchen area.
  •  The structure will have a rear yard orientation with a dedicated side ADU entry. The garage
  door will be driveway-facing with conforming setbacks, lot coverage, and separations per §285-
  52.3.
  •  The structure will be served by the existing public water/sewer and lighting will be full cutoff with
  down-shielded fixtures.
  •  Parking will include two garage bays and two driveway spaces with no additional reliance on on-
  street parking.
  •  No mature trees will be removed for this project; all existing mature trees will be preserved
  and protected during construction.
  •  The Owner will occupy the main house as their primary residence.

Enclosures
  • Site survey, floor plan, & 3D elevations

Thanks for considering this application. We believe this garage/ADU structure adds a gentle, small-
scale unit that uses existing infrastructure, provides flexibility for changing family and broadens
affordable/accessible housing options.

Sincerely,

Chris Cont
