Mr. Dunlap oriented the Commission and public of the subject and surrounding properties on the site plan, various maps and photographs, and summarized the request. He noted that the Planning Director recommended approval of the application, with conditions. The applicants, David and Wendi Wasson, introduced themselves with some background information. In response to Chair Giffin’s question, Ms. Wasson said that they had purchased the property in 2007, assuming that a bed and breakfast operation was allowed on the property since the previous owner had already been running one.

It was moved by Commissioner Iokepa and seconded by Commissioner Hickcox that the application be approved with the conditions as recommended by the Planning Director.
