Hi Abby,
Glad to hear a plan was worked out.
The tourist lodging/accessory dwelling questions are a bit tricky — although your property has many characteristics of a
rural parcel, which would allow usage of accessory structures for bed & breakfast use, this use of the studio would not
be permitted under the R-1 residential zoning. The County doesn't allow detached accessory apartments, although your
property has the necessary acreage for a second dwelling unit, so I'll need to check into some of the nuances related to
the building code/zoning code definitions.
Hope this helps.

Hey Andrew,
I wanted to let you know that I met with Shawn last night and we have worked out a plan to install some native
species on their property to provide a screen for any potential headlights into their home, without disrupting the
look of the land too much.
I also wanted to ask you about the Tourist Lodging provision. We had talked with our builder when we got
permits for the studio about sometime in the future Margaux (who is now 3) living in the studio ( in college for
example) or renting it to a tenant. Is that not allowable? I was under the impression that because of our acreage
that it was allowable, though the final building we could build and live in. Is that provision just for an Air B&B
type situation? Could you explain please?
I appreciate your time Andrew... sorry i have SO MANY questions.
Thanks, Abby
