Applicant Sainsanaa Saudag told the Commission the yurts would sometimes be used by the owner as a second house and rented when not occupied. When asked what a yurt was, Saudag explained that "a yurt is a house made of felt and wooden walls used in Mongolia." She added the roofs are made of a plastic material designed to resist harsh weather and said electric heat would be installed in laminated flooring. She also said they would not allow open fires or firearm discharge; there would be a firepit.
Commissioner Tommy Miller moved to approve the SUP with conditions and the motion passed by roll call. The vote was unanimous. The Commission's action includes standard conditions and will be reflected in the permit.
