BZA approves one-year permit for two travel trailers on Stewart property
Summary
After staff recommended denial, the board approved a renewal/permit allowing two travel trailers on Jeff Stewart’s parcel for one year with nine conditions (limit to family use, inspections, nontransferability).
The board considered SUSE0000492026, a request to allow habitation of two travel trailers on a 0.22-acre parcel owned by Jeffrey and Amy Stewart. Staff recommended denial, saying travel trailers “generally adversely impact the general character of the surrounding area” and noting the county’s typical density guidance; the staff report also observed the prior three‑year permit was expiring.
Applicant Jeff Stewart said the property was a recreational/hunting site and that one camper stays year-round while the other comes and goes; he said he bought the parcel four years ago and improved it. Supporters from the community spoke in favor. The board voted to approve the permit for two units and limited the term to one year (adjusting staff’s recommendation) with the nine conditions read into the record, including required permits, inspections, non-transferability and a prohibition on short-term rental.
