VOTE: UNANIMOUS jb) SUP(AA)-2-97 The Old Place LUed and Breakfast) This item was presented by Emily Cameron for the purpose of receiving citizen comment on the renewal of a Class A Special Use Permit for The Old Place, a Bed and Breakfast establishment. On October 17, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners issued a Class A Special Use Permit to Joseph and Avis Rice to operate a Bed and Breakfast in a historic log cabin. The Table of Permitted Uses identifies this use as"Historic Sites Non-Residential Mixed Use." Article 8.8.24.2 of the Zoning Ordinance limits this type of permit to a six-year period. The Rices requested renewal of their permit in December 1996.The property is located in Cheeks Township, on the west side of Saddle Club Road. A log cabin is located on the property which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Paisley-Rice Log House. The house in located on an 11.83 acre parcel. The facility provides food and lodging for up to four guests at any given time. Site conditions and operation of the bed and breakfast remain the same as when the Special Use Permit was approved in 1989. The property owner has rights to an easement along the southeastern corner of the property to Saddle Club Road. The easement currently provides access to the log house. The parcel has adequate frontage on Saddle Club Road, so that a separate driveway could be utilized if any problems with the existing access easement arise in the future. COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: None COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS: Mr. Jerry Craddock, an adjacent landowner, mentioned that the map shows a road entering the property on the back side of the 32 acres. The owner of The Old Place has road frontage and he would very much like for that portion of the property to be used for entrance and exit to The Old Place. This use of his property causes 1/4 of an acre of his land to be unusable. Emily Cameron commented that her understanding was that the road frontage was granted through perpetual easement. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, Jr., seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis, to refer the proposed amendment to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than May 5, 1997.
