Board continues Bonehenge Drive short‑term rental renewal after neighbors cite large unauthorized party and unclear license status
Summary
Owners of the Bonehenge Drive short‑term rental sought renewal after an unauthorized May 8 party that drew police and caused damage; neighbors and an attorney urged denial pending evidence of licensing and repeated violations. The board continued the case to allow petitioners to supply license records and rental history.
The Zoning Board continued a contested short‑term rental renewal for a property on Bonehenge Drive after testimony about a large unauthorized party and contradictory records about the property’s business license.
Owners and their property manager described security measures — keypad locks, cameras, noise detectors — and apologized for the May 8 event. Their property manager Tanner Ashcraft said he "arrived to find at least 100 teenagers on the property," called police and the house was cleared before 11 p.m.; owners said they have filed an insurance claim and engaged counsel to pursue the renter for damages. Petitioners asked the board not to "punish us further for the action of a renter who violated the terms of the rental in our house rules."
Opponents and counsel emphasized the scale of the disturbance, questioned whether the business license for 2026 had been renewed at the time of the violation, and argued the property’s advertising and prior complaints weigh against renewal. Attorney Cam Parsons urged the board to consider compliance history: "We have rules... when people ignore the rules and the regulations of this board, then the board should take that into consideration."
Board members said the licensing question is material and moved to continue the item so petitioners can provide documentary evidence (business license copies, rental counts and nights rented per year) and an email chain noted by staff. The item was continued to the next meeting and petitioners were asked to return with documentation of license status and rental history.
What happens next: Petitioners will provide the requested license records, an annual rental‑nights summary, and any supporting email threads. The board will reconvene the item at its next meeting to determine whether to reinstate, limit or deny the short‑term rental permit.
