STE. GENEVIEVE HERALD

In a meeting that lasted less than five minutes, the Ste. Genevieve Planning and Zoning Commission approved Mark Buchheit’s request for a special use permit to allow guest lodging in an R-2 General Residential District at 286 S. Gabouri Street.

In answer to a question, Buchheit, who owns other rental properties, said this would be his first airbnb operation.

David Bova, community development administrator complimented Buchheit on the work he has done on the house.

“If you’ve see this house before, on the inside, and you see it now,  it’s  wonderful inside,” Bova said.

Others agreed.

It was approved by a 5-0 vote. A public hearing will be held at  an  upcoming board of aldermen meeting.
