Board approves Pavey special exception for one‑bedroom guest house with conditions
Summary
After a staff presentation and a brief public comment from applicant Margaret Pavey, the Board approved a special‑exception permit allowing a one‑bedroom guest house near a pond on a 45‑acre agricultural parcel, subject to five staff‑recommended conditions and usual permits.
Planning staff (speaker 10) presented the Pavey application for a guest house at 3298 Solar Creek Road (Tax Map Parcel 32‑83) in the agricultural district and recommended approval with five conditions including septic and well permits and a certificate of occupancy for the new home.
Margaret Pavey (speaker 15), the applicant, spoke in favor and described limited family visits: “In the last 3 years, my younger sister and her husband came for 2 nights… we don't get a lot of company.” After the public hearing closed, the board voted by voice to approve the special exception subject to the listed conditions; planning had recommended approval 6–0 at the commission level.
Staff emphasized the permit is revocable for violations and that the accessory structure will be re‑permitted and must not be offered for short‑term paid rentals.
