When the Board ng Appeals considered twe ise permit applications * -d and breakfast businesses on private rights-of-way last Wednesday, they approved one and denied the other.

Attorney Frank Reynolds represented both applicants. The first application by Joan and Robert Herrema for a three-room bed and breakfast in their home off Route 626 in Tiger Valley had been tabled from the April meeting at the applicants’ request.

Mr. Reynolds noted that he had looked into the titles on both the Herrema property and the Blue Knoll property. The BZA approved a special use permit for a two-room bed and breakfast business at Blue Knoll in June 1989.

Mr. Reynolds noted that when the Planning Commission recommended that the Herremas’ application be turned down they were told that the right-of-way to the property was 15 feet wide and that the one for Blue Knoll was 30 feet wide.

Mr. Reynolds said his research showed that most of the right-ofway to the Herrema property is 30 feet wide with a section at the beginning that is 18 feet wide. He said the right-of-way to Blue Knoll is 20 feet wide.

BZA member Sid Gottlieb said, “The thrust of the argument in relation to the Blue Knoll that I am hearing is that since we made an error then, we should repeat the error now.”
