Fernandez Minor Subdivision & SDU

Fernandez Minor Subdivision & SDU

A minor subdivision to divide an approximate 26.6 acre parcel into two parcels of approximately 10.1 acres and 16.5 acres. The property is developed with three single family residences. One of the residences on proposed Parcel 1 was placed without Building Permits and is a violation. The subdivision approval is conditioned on one of three of the following options occurring prior to recordation of the map: (1) the removal of this unit in the event that the Commission cannot make the required Secondary Dwelling Unit (SDU) findings per §314-87.1, HCC; (2) an approved exception to the Fire Safe Ordinance, §3112-11, limiting dead-end road length which would allow the SDU to remain; or (3) the Commission's approval of the conversion of this unit to a Guest House per §314-75.1, HCC, if the findings for an SDU are not made. The necessary Fire Safe sections addressing dead-end road length do not apply to Guest Houses. The existing residences are served by on-site water and sewage disposal. The site is heavily constrained by access issues. A Fire Safe exception has been sought and granted for the substandard width per §3112-3 of the Fire Safe Ordinance. Other than the Eel River located more than 1,000 feet to the southwest, there are no known creeks or other wet areas on or adjacent to the site and existing development.
