DIVISION Ill SPECIAL USE PERMIT
STAFF REPORT

HEARING DATE: October 9, 2012

CASE NUMBER: 2011-0016

PROJECT: Gary McSpadden Nightly Rental

APPLICANT: Gary McSpadden Ministries

REPRESENTATIVE: Gary McSpadden

LOCATION: The subject property is located at 956 Jones Road,
Ridgedale, MO; Oliver Township; Section 24 ,
Township 21, Range 22 .

REQUEST: The applicant, Gary McSpadden Ministries is
requesting approval of a Special Use Permit in order
to utilize an existing, single-family residence for
nightly rental.

BACKGROUND and SITE HISTORY:
Division I Permit# 2002-0522 was issued on December 21, 2002 for the construction of
an approximately 36' x 44' single-family residence. Per the information contained within
the Septic Permit file , the on-site waste water treatment system was sized for a three (3)
bedroom home, with the residence being advertised on a vacation rental website for up
to three (3) bedrooms and 2 % baths. The applicant has indicated that this single-family
residence has been utilized as a nightly rental home since the time of construction.
The current application was approved for Concept on September 17, 2012 .

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The subject property (approximately 120' x 125' lot) contains an approximately 1,356
square foot single-family residence (per the Assessor's information) located at 956
Jones Road, Ridgedale, MO, known as Lots 4 and 5, Block 53, in Ozarks Paradise
Village, South Addition .

Division III (Special-Use Permit) Staff Report- Gary McSpadden- Nightly Rental- 2012-0016 Page 1
REVIEW:
The Taney County Development Guidance Code defines nightly rental as "A residential
building, structure, or part thereof that may be rented for any period of time less than
thirty (30) days." Currently, the applicant would have the ability to rent the residence for
a period of thirty (30) days or greater.

The exterior appearance of the single-family home will remain the same. The
advertisement on the vacation rental website indicates that the property in question will
accommodate up to ten (1 0) people.

The property is currently served by a private well and an on-site wastewater treatment
system. The Septic Permit indicates that the on-site wastewater treatment system was
designed to serve a three (3) bedroom home, with the residence being advertised on
the vacation rental website as having up to three (3) bedrooms for rent.
The residence is in compliance with the setback requirements. The existing parking
area meets the requirements of the Taney County Development Guidance Code which
requires a total of 2 parking spaces (1.5 spaces per two-bedroom dwelling unit with Y:z
space added for each additional bedroom).

On April16 , 2012 the Planning Commission approved a request by Valerie Budd
authorizing the utilization of an existing cabin at 150 Walnut Drive, Ridgedale, MO for
nightly rental (within the same subdivision as the current request). During this public
hearing process the applicant indicated that a number of adjoining residences are also
being used for nightly rental without a Division Ill Special-Use Permit.

The project received a total score of -6 on the Policy Checklist, out of a maximum
possible score of 39 . The relative policies receiving a negative score consist of
emergency water supply, solid waste disposal service and use compatibility.

SUMMARY:
If the Taney County Planning Commission approves this request, the following
requirements shall apply, unless revised by the Planning Commission:
1. Compliance with the provisions of the Taney County Development Guidance
Code.
2. Compliance letters from the Western Taney County Fire Protection District, the
Taney County Health Department, the Taney County Assessor's Office and
Missouri Department of Revenue; including all other entities which have
requirements governing a development of this nature shall be provided to the
Planning Department office.(Chapter VI-VII)

3. No outside storage of equipment or solid waste materials.
4 . This decision is subject to all existing easements.

Division III (Special-Use Permit) Staff Report- Gary McSpadden- Nightly Rental- 2012-0016 Page 2
5. A privacy fence shall be provided upon the northwestern and southwestern
property boundaries, between the property in question and the adjacent single
family residences.
6. This residence shall accommodate (sleep) no more than ten (10) persons per
night.
7. This Decision of Record shall be filed with the Taney County Recorder's Office
within 120 days or the approval shall expire (Chapter Ilitem 6).

speaking with Mr. Holcomb, the Planning Staff advised the applicant that per the
provisions of the Development Guidance Code that the gunsmithing use would meet the
required conditions of a home occupation .
The current application was approved for Concept on September 17, 2012.

STAFF REPORT

HEARING DATE: October 9, 2012

CASE NUMBER: 2012-0018

PROJECT: Michael Schmitz Nightly Rental (Red Elk Lodge)

APPLICANT: Michael Schmitz

REPRESENTATIVE: Timothy Davis, Esq.

LOCATION: The subject property is located at 1004 Pomme de
Terre Road, Branson, MO; Scott Township; Section
25, Township 23, Range 21.

REQUEST: The applicant, Michael Schmitz is requesting the
approval of a Special Use Permit in order to utilize an
existing, single-family residence for nightly rental.

BACKGROUND and SITE HISTORY:

Division I Permit# 1996-0013 was issued on January 19, 1996 for the construction of a
2300 square foot single-family residence. Per the information contained within the
Septic Permit file, the on-site waste water treatment system was sized to serve a three
(3) bedroom home. However, according to the information contained within the
advertisements on a number of vacation rental websites this structure consists of 6
bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with a dining room that has seating for twenty (20) people.
On July 23, 2012, a formal complaint was submitted to the Planning Department office
by neighboring property owners, indicating that the property at 1004 Pomme de Terre
Road, Branson was being utilized for what the Development Guidance Code defines as
"nightly rental", without the issuance of Special Use Permit.
On August 17, 2012, a Stop Work Order was issued to Mr. Schmitz both via certified,
return receipt mail and a posting on the property, asking him to cease all nightly rental
operations immediately until such time that he obtains a Division Ill Special-Use Permit
for nightly rental. As of the date of this report the nightly rental advertisements continue
to remain active on a number of websites, with bookings being indicated through early
April2013. This nightly rental residence is advertised as the Red Elk Lodge.
The current application was approved for Concept on September 17, 2012.

Division III (Special-Use Permit) Staff Report- Michael Schmitz- Nightly Rental- 2012-0018 Page 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The subject property (approximately 1.68 acres per the Assessor's information) contains
an approximately 4,400 square foot single-family residence located at 1004 Pomme de
Terre Road, Branson, MO, described as Lots 187-195, Unit 3 of the Lake Taneycomo
Woods Development.

REVIEW:
The Taney County Development Guidance Code defines nightly rental as "A residential
building, structure, or part thereof that may be rented for any period of time less than
thirty (30) days." Currently, the applicant would have the ability to rent the residence for
a period of thirty (30) days or greater.
The exterior appearance of the single-family home will remain the same. The
advertisements on the vacation rental websites indicate that the property in question will
accommodate up to twenty (20) people. However, one website review indicates that
twenty-four (24) people were guests of the Red Elk Lodge during a recent visit.
The property is currently served by a private well and an on-site wastewater treatment
system. The Septic Permit indicates that the on-site wastewater treatment system was
designed to serve a three (3) bedroom home. As stated earlier, this approximately
4,400 square foot structure consists of six (6) bedrooms and three (3) bathrooms. Scott
Starrett, the Taney County On-Site Wastewater Inspector has indicated in an enclosed
letter, that the wastewater treatment system is drastically undersized for just the six (6)
existing bedrooms, not including the large number of people that have utilized and
would continue to utilize the home for nightly rental. Further, the staff is concerned
about the large amount of fill that has been placed over the area containing the septic
lateral field, which is now being utilized as a vehicle turn-around.
The residence is in compliance with the setback requirements. The existing parking
area will meet the requirements of the Taney County Development Guidance Code for a
total of 3.5 parking spaces (1.5 spaces per two-bedroom dwelling unit with% space
added for each additional bedroom).
The property in question is currently buffered from the residences to the north by both
the existing terrain and vegetative buffer.
Five (5) neighboring property owners have written letters of opposition, indicating that
the nightly rental of a residence runs counter to both the By Laws and Protective
Covenants of the Lake Taneycomo Woods Development. However, private covenants
and restriction cannot be enforced by the County Planning Department. Recorded
copies of both the By Laws and Protective Covenants have been provided to the
Planning Department.

The project received a total score of -41 on the Policy Checklist, out of a maximum
possible score of 49. The relative policies receiving a negative score consist of sewage
disposal, road right-of-ways, emergency water supply, solid waste disposal service, off-

Division III (Special-Use Permit) Staff Report- Michael Schmitz- Nightly Rental- 2012-0018 Page 2
site nuisances, use compatibility, utilities, screening of solid waste containers,
emergency services and traffic.

SUMMARY:
If the Taney County Planning Commission approves this request, the following
requirements shall apply, unless revised by the Planning Commission:
1. Compliance with the provisions of the Taney County Development Guidance
Code.
2. Compliance letters from the Western Taney County Fire Protection District, the
Taney County Health Department, the Taney County Assessor's Office, the
Missouri Department of Revenue and the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources (regarding the well); including all other entities which have
requirements governing a development of this nature shall be provided to the
Planning Department office.(Chapter VI-VII)
3. No outside storage of equipment or solid waste materials.

4. This decision is subject to all existing easements.
5. An on-site wastewater system shall be designed and constructed, ensuring
capacity for the six (6) bedroom home and/or the maximum number of persons
that will be accommodated via nightly rental, whichever is greater. This
upgraded on-site wastewater system shall be permitted via the Taney County
Planning Department in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Health and
Senior Services and/or the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
6. A 25' wide natural vegetative buffer shall continued to be preserved along the
northern property boundary, between the property in question and the adjacent
single family residence.
7. This residence shall accommodate (sleep) no more than twenty (20) persons per
night.
8. This Decision of Record shall be filed with the Taney County Recorder's Office
within 120 days or the approval shall expire (Chapter II Item 6).

Bob,

In reference to a permit for an onsite system installed at 1004 Pomme De Terre rd parceiiD #
08-7.0-25-001-003-026.000. The permit# 96-010 was issued for a 3 bedroom home. A 1000 gal tank
with chlorinator, and 200 lin ft of SB2 pipe in fill dirt behind a retaining wall with 6mil poly applied t o the
wall was installed for this home.
Without knowing a soils evaluation I can only estimate what size of system I would permit
today. The home is advertised as a 6 bedroom that sleeps 12-20 people. I will use an average soils test of
.40 GPO load rating. I will use a design flow of 1200 GPO (20 persons @60gal ea=1200 GPO)
If the soil tested at a .40 load rating with no restrictive zone very shallow the system for the
same home with occupancy of 20 persons for nightly rental it would require 2400 gallons of septic
capacity and need 1500 lin ft of 24" trench with 10"SB2 pipe (1200GPD/.40 Soil Load Rating=3000 sq ft
of trench/2' width of trench=1500 lin ft of trench.

Tank size Lin Ft Trench Required at .4 load rate
Present system 3bedrm has- 1000 gal. 200 lin ft of 10"SB2
20 persons required- 2300 gal. 1500 lin ft of 10"SB2
12 persons required- 1600 gal 900 lin ft of 10"SB2
I have had the onsite permitting position for 13 months and have not seen a load rating of more
than .4.
The other issue besides the system being undersized is the septic tank and lateral field is now 3-
5 feet under fill where more parking has been added. A lateral field is to be as shallow as possible to
allow anaerobic bacteria to work and vegetation to absorb the water. If a tank is this deep it will never
be pumped and the solids will build up to the point where they are distributed in the lateral lines
completely filling them making them ineffective. The septic tank and system are also above the
basement grade. If there are bathrooms in the basement the septic system for them is unknown at this
time . The concern is the home is an estimated 80 feet from Lake Taneycomo.

Branson, MO 65616

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Kevin Day and I recently moved up here in March from Texas. I chose this area for
the family memories that I had when I was young plus also the establishment of memories with
my own family. We own a house in Lake Taneycomo Woods Homeowners Association because
of the quietness of the woods, amenities we enjoy, and quick access to the lake.

This letter is in reference to a home within our subdivision that is operating as a nightly rental
and that explicitly goes against our covenants and by-laws. This type of action is bothersome to
me for a number of reasons.

The first is simply the fact that a commercial business is being operated within a residential zone.
This means the gentleman who owns the home, Mr. Michael Schmitz, is advertising his property
at 1004 Pomme de Terre Road, Branson, MO, 65616, as a business which is not properly zoned.

A second reason is the fact that numerous vehicles are coming in and out of the association of
which we do not know who they are or what their business is. The other day approximately 10
motorcycles with 2 people on each were coming from that location and these had rented this
property the previous night.

A third reason is the fact that some previous renters had used the clubhouse area as their personal
overnight parking spot for their boat. Our boat ramp and dock are for those members who pay
their dues and not for those who can conveniently rent a house that is totally in violation of not
only county zoning but the covenants and by-laws of our association.

In closing, I oppose the use ofMr. Michael Schmitz's property at 1004 Pomme de Terre in
Branson, Missouri, as an overnight rental. I believe it is not only detrimental to the association as
a whole but also to the security of my children and other children in our area.

Thank you.

My name is Diane and I am the secretary of the Lake Taneycomo Woods
Homeowners Association. I have served on the Board for approximately
eight years. I do know that the Board has tried many times over the years to
stop the nightly and weekly rental at 1009 Pomme De Terre. I have never
seen or even heard of anyone writing any letters giving permission to
anyone for this to take place.
As a Board member I know that this is in violation of our Bi-laws and
covenants. And for that reason alone I object to this continuing.
There has been numerous complaints about the garbage that the renters
leave. The animals get into it and drag it everywhere. Mr. Schmidt is
nowhere around to even know about it.
I also have been told that this house sleeps twenty, and is booked solid for
quite a long time. This not only causes much more traffic on a very narrow
road, but also puts a strain on our wells. The average household has about
four people or less. This is like adding five more houses to that well. As a
Board member and a resident, that concerns me. And for that reason also, I
object to this continuing.
As a homeowner and fourteen year resident, I would ask you to consider
the people who live here. We only want to raise our families in a safe
environment. Because of Mr. Schmidts weekly or weekend rental, there are
many people from many different places constantly coming in and out of
our neighborhood. In today's world this could be a danger to our
community. And for this reason most of all, I object to this continuing in our
neighborhood.

Sincerely, Diane Digman

Re: Red Elks Lodge

Gentlemen:

I am a member of the Lake Taneycomo Woods Association. I also serve on the board as
the treasurer. Concerning the situation of the Michael Schmitz property, I was contacted
by a neighbor and was told that they didn't understand why so many different cars were
constantly going in and out every week. I explained to her about the Red Elks Lodge and
how we looked up on line and saw the calendar being full for the summer months.

Having lived in a small town all my life I realize it is easy to know almost everyone who
lives in a community. This situation with all the different vacationers coming into the
association on a nightly rental basis is against the By Laws and Covenants of the
Association. The association states that an owner is allowed to rent with the intention of
living in the association. We have no idea who is coming and going and we feel
uncomfortable who might be staying there and what their intent could possibly be.
I have seen the house on the internet and can tell it is very nice. Like the rest of the
association, it is wooded absolutely all around it.

The association is now planning to clean up and clear out the lots it owns as much as
possible in the following year to make it a more attractive area to live and be proud of.
We are expecting the owners to clean and clear out any brush, undergrowth and excess
trees, trash and such so that we can all be proud of our area.

Thank you for considerating not only my letter of concern but also the others that have
been presented to you.

LAKE TANEY COMO WOODS RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION

September 20,2012

TO: Taney County P&Z Commissioners:
Gentlemen,

Michael Schmitz has known since 2008 that Lake Taneycomo Wood Association was a residential only
area, that nightly, weekly or monthly rentals were not allowed. He has continued to ignore this fact.

Taken from past records, Mr Keith Crawford from P&Z went to the Michael Schmitz property at 1004
Pomme de Terre Rd and per phone call stated to Doris Griffin who was on the LTCW board, that the
home was in a residential area, not zoned for commercial use. Mr. Crawford said that he would write
Mr Schmitz a letter informing him of this, telling him he would have 10 days to apply for a commercial
license. If Mr. Schmitz failed to do this and was still renting he would issue a stop/desist operation
order on renting immediately. Michael Schmitz is operating a business in a residential area and is in
violation of County Code. I have enclose a copy of hand written notes compiled by Doris Griffin
relating to the phone call from Mr Crawford dated 6-27-2008 at 9:45am.

I attended the September 17111 2012 P&Z meeting and heard Mr. Schmitz's attorney state that he had a
letter from the association giving permission for the nightly rental. I have read through all of the
minutes of the associations monthly meetings for the past several years and could not find where the
Board members ever gave permission. I have not found a copy of a letter giving that permission and
would very much like to see the letter Mr. Schmitz's attorney is referring too.

I am enclosing three months of association meetings discussing Michael Schmitz and his Red Elk
Lodge business as well as his internet posting on renting the Lodge.

I do not know what happened that this has been allowed to continue, but would like to say that if Mr
Schmitz has failed to comply with County Code and the LTCW Association bylaws and covenants what
will he attempt to do next.

I object to any variance being given to Michael Schmitz for LTCW Association.

FYI: Also find a copy of another nightly rental Mr. Schmitz has on Table Rock Lake and wonder if he

We had great time staying here. We came from all over that states and Canada. It
was amazing to find a place big enough for all and great condition. Our week went
by too fast with old friends from high school but was so worth the trip . We'd all do it
again! Thanks! It was perfect for privacy and yet close to downtown Branson.

t~ C Exceptional accommodations at The Red Eik Lodge
John 0 . ()
Review submitted: December 27, 2011 Date of arrival: July 15, 2011

From the seamless reservations and check-in/checkout process , to the
accommodations beyond our expectations, we enjoyed every relaxing moment of
our stay at the Red Elk. The entire lodge is a "wow!", and everyone agreed that we
loved working together in the dream kitchen , with all amenities provided. Although
our stay was during one of the hottest weeks of the year, there was a cool breeze
down by the lake, and we enjoyed being in the beautiful outdoor space despite the
heat. It was just a short drive to Branson , and a great view of the Landing along the
way. Thanks for a memorable weekend enjoyed by all ages from a 5 month old to
his Great aunt, a 60ish retiree. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend the
Red Elk experience to family and friends

We wanted to let yo u know you we had a wonderful time at the beautiful lod ge and
its seclusion yet close to the activites we did each day. The lodge provided the
retreat we were looking for and felt so glad we found you online. Having the
sepa1·ate living areas with huge TV's and players made it much more enjoyable as we
found the guys wanted to watch sports and us ladies movies. The beds were super
comfortable and prov ided us all w ith relaxing spot each night. We w ill defintely keep
you in mind for our yearly trip to Branson.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Red Elk Lodge! Our Family and friends were
thrilled with the Rustic Feel of the house but the fully equipped log cabin and it's
technology were such a reward to experience. I plan on using the cabin many more
times in the future! Thanks Michael!

Date of Stay: 05/ 18/10 Review Submitted: 05/18/10

I hosted a scrapbooking retreat for 13 women at the Red Elk Lodge May 13-16,
2010. I can't say enough great things about the lodge!! Absolutely stunning kitchen
and huge dining area and great room combinatio n!! Plenty of room for all of us and
all our supplies! Love the addition of the new staircase connecting the upper level
to the lower level. Also loved the fact that there were only 2-3 steps to get into
the main level of the lodge. This place is almost too big to call a cabin I 3 of the 6
bedrooms are huge, 1 medium size and 2 smaller rooms, but all with king size beds
and dressers. With the 4 sleeper sofas there is plenty of room for everyone!The
location on the lake was perfect and if we had allowed our husbands to join us they
wou ld have be in heaven fishing all day long. We were able to see huge fish in the
lake from the HUGE deck. T he cabin was only about 10-12 minutes from Branson
Landing and Hwy 65. The roads were paved all the way to the driveway . The lodge
is on a dead end road and we only saw one car pass the entire by the entire time. I
loved that we did not have to go down the busy portion of Hwy 76/Country Blvd to
access the cabin and yet it was easy to access the popular areas of Branson. Th e
Wifi worked great. Cell phone service is very limited. I was able to get coverage if I
stood on the deck or up on the road. others could not get any. There is a hard-
wired phone tho ugh with unlimited long-distance in the kitchen. The owner was
great to work with and had great communication. I am hoping we will be able to hold
the retreat here again next year!! You won't be sorry if you se lect the Red Elk
Lodge! !Tammy White
