The BZA members voted unanimously to issue the permit for Mr. Perez’s bed-and-breakfast, located on Route 522 between Flint Hill and Huntly, restricting the operation to a maximum of 12 overnight guests in no more than five rooms. They specified, however, that if the supervisors increase the allowable number of rooms to six, that expansion would automatically apply to Mr. Perez’s permit.
“We want to stay within the spirit of the law,” said Mr. Perez, an attorney who practices in Washington, D.C. “The last thing we want to operate is a hotel.”
“The essence of it is that it’s our home,” added Patricia Ahearn, his partner in the venture, who with her four sons will be managing the establishment.
The BZA also directed the pool near the house be fenced before the B & B operates. “It presents a danger to anyone unfamiliar with the property. If it’s open to the public, the pool area must be fenced,” said Mr. Kramer.
Noting that the BZA has established a precedent for pool fencing with other B & B applications, Mr. Monahan added that “the fence has nothing to do with operating the pool.” Even if the pool is empty and not available for use by B & B guests, the area must be fenced, he said.
In other action last week, the BZA issued a special use permit to Roger and Helen Newcamp for a mobile home on their property in Jackson District while they are building a dwelling with the condition that the trailer be removed after one year. *
