Commission conditions guest house approval on Hog Tommy access to avoid Spring Creek road fee
Summary
The commission approved William Kehoe's conditional use permit for a guest house in the Special Lands District but added a condition requiring the guest house be accessed from Hog Tommy Road after debate over a possible Spring Creek Association road-access fee.
Curtis, planning staff, summarized Application CUP 25-10 by William Kehoe for a guest house and shop in the Special Lands District and read Spring Creek Association's emailed request that properties relying on SCA roads pay a proportionate road-access fee.
The applicant, William Kehoe, described the project: "We're looking at building a shop with a attached guest house," and said primary access is from Holyoke with a secondary access from Hog Tommy. Commissioners debated whether a condition should require a road-access agreement with Spring Creek Association or require the guest house be accessed off Hog Tommy Road to avoid imposing the SCA fee. A motion to require payment if access to Holyoke (and thereby SCA roads) exists failed for lack of a second; a subsequent motion to require access to the guest house from Hog Tommy Road passed (motion moved by a commissioner and seconded), and the permit was approved with that condition by voice vote.
