Sabbath House respite home in Bartow
Summary
A widower is building a free respite retreat for ALS families on a newly split lot near Bartow, and needed a waiver for the long private easement. Commissioners approved it, but staff warned the approval only covers a single-family home — any retreat or guest use may need further review.
