Bed-and-breakfast inns, as defined in §
240-4 of Chapter
240, Land Development, of the Code of the Township of Stillwater, shall not be operated in the Township of Stillwater by any person, firm or corporation until a conditional use permit for such bed-and-breakfast inn shall have been issued by the Planning Board and a license shall have been obtained from the Township, which license shall be renewed annually so long as said use is maintained.
The application form and all accompanying documents required
for approval of a bed-and-breakfast license shall be obtained from
the Township Clerk and filed with the Township Clerk. The application
shall contain the following information:
A. The name
and status of applicant, that is, whether an individual, corporation,
partnership or association. If an applicant is a corporation, the
applicant shall furnish the names and addresses of all officers, directors
and registered agents and shall designate the office of each; if a
partnership or corporation, the applicant shall state the names and
addresses of all members thereof.
B. The permanent
residence address of the applicant.
C. The place
or places of the permanent residence of the applicant for each of
the preceding three years.
D. A full
description of the premises desired to be licensed, including a copy
of the deed for the property and a description of all buildings or
improvements thereon.
E. A description
of the number of bedrooms to be used in the conduct of the bed-and-breakfast
inn (which shall not exceed five).
F. A statement
of all kitchen equipment existing on the premises which will be used
in the operation of the bed-and-breakfast inn.
Every initial application (either for a new bed-and-breakfast
inn or an application made by a new owner of an existing inn) shall
be accompanied by payment of an application fee of $75 to cover the
cost of processing said application. A renewal license fee of $75
shall be paid during the month of January of each year.
An applicant shall file with the application a copy of the conditional
use permit or variance approved by a municipal agency and a copy of
the resolution adopted by such agency.
An application for a renewal license shall be submitted to the
Township Clerk on or before the 15th day of January in each year and
shall be accompanied by a certification from the Board of Health that
the septic system and water supply continue to be adequate. If any
Township resident or property owner shall have filed an objection
to the issuance of any renewal license, said renewal license shall
not be renewed until a hearing is held thereon by the Township Committee
to determine whether or not a renewal license should be issued, based
upon the evidence presented regarding prior violations of ordinances
or regulations or other objections. A temporary license may be issued
conditioned upon the performance of certain acts by the licensee within
a stated time.
