Since this recommendation is made without benefit of public testimony, <br /> the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this recommendation based upon additional <br /> information presented at the public hearing. The recommendation for approval is based on the <br /> following findings: <br /> The applicants are requesting a Special Permit to establish a 3-bedroom bed and breakfast <br /> operation within an existing dwelling and to legitimize an existing campground.

The <br /> proposed Special Pemit includes the following: <br /> • Operation of the existing dwelling as a 3-bedroom bed and breakfast, with the ground <br /> floor used only for storage. <br /> • Permitting of a 4th bedroom within the dwelling for use by the operator of the bed and <br /> breakfast. <br /> • Permitting 6 campsites to be used for overnight accommodations,with each consisting <br /> of a "cabana" (a 120-square foot raised platform, 10 feet x 12 feet, with a roof, corner <br /> posts and a 3-foot-high guard rail along each side). <br /> • Construction of a 120-square-foot bathhouse to support the cabanas, consisting of 2 <br /> toilets, 2 sinks and 2 showers. <br /> • Conversion of the existing cesspool to a septic system meeting with the approval of the <br /> Department of Health (DOH). <br /> • 11 off-street, gravel parking stalls, to be used by guests and the live-in operator. <br /> 1 <br />
