Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 3 as proposed by the Planning Board for the Hampton Zoning Ordinance as follows?
Amend Article III-A – Accessory Dwelling Units to Single-Family Dwellings. Insert new Section 3- A.2 Permits Required (item c) to require that applicants submit a certified plot plan prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor in the State of New Hampshire, with the existing and proposed setbacks and impervious coverage calculations for the lot provided on said plan, if the proposal involves any exterior enlargement of an existing building and/or any increase in impervious coverage of the lot and if the Building Inspector determines that compliance with Article IV Dimensional Requirements is questionable. Also, amend Section 3-A.10 Impact Fees to state that the impact fee requirement shall not apply to situations where a two-family property is legally converted to one single-family dwelling and one accessory dwelling unit.
What it means: The following is taken from materials presented at Deliberative Session:
Purpose: To address existing concerns regarding plan requirements and impact fees for ADU’s
Overview: This Article adds a Certified Plot Plan requirement, but it would only apply where an ADU proposal involves an enlargement of an existing building and/or an increase in impervious coverage of the lot. The Building Inspector must also determine that compliance with the dimensional requirements is questionable, justifying this level of drawing. The applicant will also have the option of appealing the Building Inspector’s determination to the Zoning Board of Adjustment under the terms of N.H. RSA 676:5.
With regard to payment of impact fees, this Article eliminates the requirement in situations where a two-family property is converted to one single-family dwelling and one accessory dwelling unit.
