Milton planners approve special-use permit for bed and breakfast
At its March 15 meeting, Milton Planning and Zoning Commission formally approved a special-use permit for a bed and breakfast to operate on Tilney Street.
The commission gave preliminary approval Feb. 15 to allow Richard Siess to run a three-bedroom bed and breakfast business at his property at 111 Tilney St, where he built a two-story house with an enclosed porch and a fenced front yard; he is also planning to live in the home. The March 15 vote was on a resolution formally spelling out the conditions of approval.
The home, located at the corner of Reed and Tilney streets, is in an R-1 residential district and a bed and breakfast is a special permitted use within that district. Town code also mandates that a bed and breakfast must be a single-family or occupied dwelling that can only be occupied by six guests at a time, no more than five consecutive nights each. A bed and breakfast cannot provide food or beverage services other than breakfast for guests within the building.
