Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Amanda, Regarding your inquiry about sufficient parking, the transient rental cabin is on 25 acres— plenty of parking! We have lots of gravel driveways and parking areas so no additional gravel or asphalt work is being done. Getting a site plan for the site would cost upwards of $2,500 and, in my opinion, is unnecessary for the permit review because the structures and the approaches have already been permitted. I sent in my permit application in June 2021. At this point, nine months later, I think the county has a duty to issue a permit, or deny it. Asking for additional onerous and unnecessary information does not seem like a prudent use of either of our time or money. Short‐term rentals are allowed outright in our zone, and no changes to original building permit/site‐plan are being sought, so there shouldn't be a reason for the permit process to drag on for this long. I’m happy to hop on a call and discuss a bit more. I am not trying to be rude, But just realistic. I don’t think either of us wants this to drag on indefinitely, and the site plan just adds tons of complication and cost onto my end, As you know, my cabins are three hours from the closest civil engineer! :) I’ve attached some photos of the AirBNB cabin showing ample parking. Thanks for your consideration.
