The Planning Board approved a Conditional Use Permit for Kristen and John Frias to operate a short‑term rental at 146 Gunstock Hill Road (Application #2026000170). The Friases described ownership and renovations of the house; the zoning ordinance allows two guests per sleeping area plus two additional guests, which could permit up to eight overnight guests for three sleeping areas, but the applicants told the board they will cap stays at six guests.

John Frias confirmed the household would not be their primary residence and said, "they only want 6 guests maximum as they do not want additional wear and tear on the home." The board asked staff to add fire department instructions to the posting document and required the applicants to obtain any other federal, state, or local approvals. On a motion by Chan Eddy, seconded by Gaye Fedorchak, the board approved the conditional use permit unanimously.
