<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I hope the discussion can
continue. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For instance... Which one
of those 20 condos on that hypothetical single lot gets the ADU?
The first one to apply? <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Where on the lot it would
be placed, if it were to be a detached unit, could make for some
lively condo board meetings. (and litigation...)</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Could a building permit be
issued without the express written "permission" of the
Association? <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So many questions...<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Happy Valentines Friday!</font></p>

<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">last
question</span>. Our Counsel opined that only one
Protected Use ADU per legal lot can be established, so if
the condo was on one lot and had 20 units, only one ADU
would be permitted. Of course, the Condo R&Rs would need
some level of specificity (likely lacking now) that would
facilitate how that could be done. They also deemed the
“primary dwelling” to be the largest of the buildings on the
lot. I am not sure of that rationale, but hopefully we keep
this analysis and discussion going.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
