County of Dane ' Data February 7, 11)H4 fila Rah To: Agriculture, Environment & Zonind Committee From: William Fleck, 1 "Acting" Zoning Administrator Subject: Suggestions for your consideration, Zoning Ordinance Amendment #3167, Dependency Living Arrangement (D.L.A. ) 1) . D.L.A.S should not be limited to relatives of the owner. There are people and families who are willing to help others and they should not be restricted from doing so. 2) . The use shall be discontinued when a D.L.A. is terminated unless subsequent use of the facility by a new dependent is commenced. 3) . The limited kitchen shall be removed when the use is terminated unless the dependent living facility is converted to a recreational area. RE: a) . Applicant is forewarned that kitchen is limited and temporary. This should alleviate the installation and expense of a substan- ' tive facility. b) . Conversion to a recreational room can be planned beforehand and require only minor, if any, alteration. The conversion should be subject to zoning permit to provide a record of the change and re- sulting compliance. 'c) . Leaving the D.L.A. intact, with kitchen, is an invitation to rent the facility to the general public. This could create an enforce- ment nightmare because the violation would more than likely be dis- closed by neighbor complaint, after the fact. Such a situation could lead to an application for R-3A, Duplex, to provide compliance on an in-place existing, duplex use perhaps lo- cated in an area where duplexes are not desired. If an individual is desirous of providing a D.L.A. which could be utilized as a premanent separate living facility an application for appropriate (R-3A) zoning should be submitted to provide the opportu- nity for review and approval prior to everything being constructed. 4) . The Conditional Use Permit should always provide that the D.L.A. may not be used for general rental purposes. 5) . The Conditional Use Permit should not be transferable to a subsequent owner. 6) . The Conditional Use Permit should be recorded to provide the pertinent infor- mation to realtors, mortgage companies, and prospective buyers. AD-75
