As a result of the continued decline of affordable housing, accessory dwelling units have become attractive living options for a variety of persons, for numerous reasons. And the housing crunch is so severe that legislation (LD 2003) was enacted to allow for ADUs on most single-family lots, in some cases taking precedence over local ordinances. In this seminar find out more about the origin of the legislation from Ryan Fecteau, a former Legislator who was instrumental in the crafting and passage of the new law. Parlin Meyer of BrightBuilt Home will speak about the unique construction aspects of ADUs. Local zoning officials Milan Nevajda from South Portland and Erin Zwirko from Yarmouth will share their insight into the planning aspects, while Rob Lynch, SRA, AI-RRS will wrap-up the program with a summary of salient points for appraisers to consider including secondary market considerations.
