The Board approved two Special Use Permits on June 23 allowing five‑bedroom short‑term rentals: one at 50 Blackberry Hill Road on approximately 0.331 acres and one at 43 Pickett Street on approximately 0.356 acres.

Supervisor Mark Dotson moved approval of both items; the motions were seconded (item‑specific seconds noted in the minutes). Both votes were recorded as 5 yes, 1 no, with Supervisor David Ferguson casting the lone no on each item. The minutes record the parcel sizes and bedroom counts and show the Planning Commission's recommended conditions were attached to the approvals.

The short‑term rental approvals prompted a recorded dissent by one supervisor but otherwise passed without additional amendment. Staff must record the permits and conditions in county files.
