Board approves two short‑term rental special exceptions in Whitestone
Summary
The board approved special exceptions to operate unhosted short‑term rentals at 4592 Windmill Point Road (Tax map 3677A, District 3) and at 101 Wyoming Drive (Tax map 48‑1‑5 and 48‑1‑16, District 3) after planning staff confirmed required septic documentation, parking plans, certificates of occupancy and liability insurance.
Planning staff (Andrea) presented both special exception applications and confirmed required documentation was on file. For 4592 Windmill Point Road (Brian and Irene Brown) she said the applicants provided septic documentation for a two‑bedroom house, a parking plan, a certificate of occupancy and $500,000 liability insurance; the applicants are not yet operating and, if approved, will complete the county registry and remit transient occupancy taxes when active. The board opened the public hearing, received no public comment and approved the special exception.
For 101 Wyoming Drive (Trent and Janet Stauffer) Andrea told the board the property is an existing hosted short‑term rental that operates on hosting platforms and provided septic documentation for a four‑bedroom house, parking sketches and a recently issued certificate of occupancy (with a ground‑floor use exception). She said the hosting platforms automatically collect and remit transient occupancy taxes for platform bookings; the board opened the hearing, had no public speakers and approved the unhosted short‑term rental special exception for the identified tax maps.
