We purchased property in 2001, which gave only ingress and egress to two other properties on a one-lane private, steep, and winding dirt road. At that time, one of these properties was operating a B&B. The 10 year period in which to act will expire in 2007. Since this B&B has recently joined a 'cartel' of other B&Bs, traffic driving past our place has created a mass of dust and speed, and is a constant problem to the immediate neighbor of this B&B to access his property, due to the overflow of vehicles parked alongside of this one-lane road. We went to the town last October with our objections regarding this business operating on a privately owned road. Their comment was that it is zoned B&B. How can a town issue a permit for this business [or Home Occupation] as they prefer to call it, without requiring either a variance or special use permit, so that adjacent property owners could have had a chance to argue that the existence of a B&B dependent on a privately owned road should be denied? Hasn't the B&B owner violated his right of way?
