Stonecrest applicant seeks permit for home-based construction management; neighbor objects over visible materials

On Sept. 16, 2025, at a City of Stonecrest Planning and Zoning special administrative permit hearing, Desiree Beerman applied for a special administrative permit to operate a type 1 home occupation administrative office for a construction management and remodeling business at 2961 Rolling Meadows Court in Stonecrest.

The permit type being considered — a type 1 home occupation — is limited to businesses where no customer contact occurs at the residence. Planning staff said applicants must comply with supplemental regulations in City ordinance chapter 27, section 4.2.0.31 and that a decision letter would be mailed within 24 to 48 hours.

The hearing drew a formal objection from a neighbor. Theodore Golden, who said he has lived on Rolling Meadows Court for 35 years, told the hearing he saw “construction material in the driveway,” including “several canisters that would be used to paint,” scaffolding and stacked doors visible from the street, and that that visibility “tells me that it's being used for business already.”

Beerman told the panel that the business activity would be construction management, and that “no, contractors, nobody will come to the house.” She said remaining items visible were leftover materials from renovating the house and that she had only ladders and other personal tools on site.

Planning staff asked Beerman to remove any business-related equipment or materials from the exterior of the property to comply with the ordinance. Staff also provided contact instructions for submitting a photograph offered by the neighbor and reiterated that the applicant would receive a written decision from Planning and Zoning within 24 to 48 hours.

No formal vote or permit determination was made during the public hearing; staff indicated the decision process would follow and that compliance with the cited ordinance was required before ongoing operation as a home business could be confirmed.
