The Board agreed that potential future Airbnb use is not part of the present variance request and
will not be considered in deciding the current area variance application, other than to note that a
future change in use may require additional approvals.

Clarification of variance type for the record
After discussion, the Chairman restated that both cases on the agenda, 2026-1and 2026-2 are
identical applications for two sheds on the same property, and that both will be treated as area
variance requests concerning the placement and setbacks of two accessory structures (sleeping
shed and bath house shed).
