Applicant withdraws short-term rental application for 45 Stewart Street after councilor raises neighborhood concerns
Summary
Victoria Vu withdrew her application to operate a limited-share short-term rental at 45 Stewart Street; Councilor Richard Ash’s correspondence, read into the record, cited neighborhood safety, parking and density concerns.
The petitioner for STR255 (45 Stewart Street) asked the board to withdraw the short-term rental application. The petitioner’s written withdrawal was filed and read into the record, and the board voted to allow the withdrawal.
Councilor Richard Ash’s correspondence was read into the record and included concerns from neighbors about safety, parking and the suitability of a densely populated, family-oriented street for short-term rental operations. The letter noted the home sold in September 2025, that the owner may live out of town, and that the lot’s one-car-wide driveway would force guests’ vehicles to be tandem or spill onto the street.
The board recorded the petition as withdrawn and read both the councilor’s concerns and the petitioner’s withdrawal message into the file. No hearing or substantive vote on an STR permit occurred after the withdrawal.
