Name COOPER WALDRON Email cooper.waldron@gmail.com Phone (optional) Public Comment I agree with most of the proposal,particularly the bear box requirement,fire safety requirements,maximum occupancy,and enforcing of quiet hours, but have a few issues with the rest. I see no reason to have a two night minimum. It's completely arbitrary, hurts home owners who have an open day that they wish to rent,and the people they employ for cleanings,snow shoveling,and other maintenance. I have plenty of paved parking, but if I did not and public parking was available on the street, how do you plan to enforce who is and is not allowed to use it?It's either public parking or it's not,correct?I don't see any justification for banning special events?And how did you come up with the list of banned events?Are birthday parties next?This is too open ended and deserves an explanation.Also, how is a homeowner to establish the type of event and how do they then enforce the rule? It's onerous at best and an overreach in my opinion. I really don't know why you need a local contact. I've been running my STIR from all over the country and the world for the past two winters and have not had a single complaint. I have cameras on the driveway and the entryway so I can see who is coming and going. I have a internet enabled lock with separate codes for guests,cleaners, handyman,etc,so I know when they enter and exit. If there is ever a problem I call the person who can fix it; ie the propane company,a plumber,the snow shoveling crew. It's really all very easy and has never once required me to be there in person. My guests know they can call me directly 24 hours a day. In my previous experience I had multiple property mgmt companies that would satisfy this local requirement, but honestly,they were all mediocre and didn't follow through on anything,or if they did, it took much longer and at a higher cost,than if I handled it myself from half the world away. <font><font color=#FF0000><b>lf your comment exceeds 2000 characters, please use the attachment function below to attach your comment in a separate document.</b></font> Attachment Please ensure that you enter your email address in the box below and click the <font><b><font color= FF0000>SUBMIT</font></b> button to receive a copy of your submitted responses for Public Comment. 1 Thank you, Town of Truckee This is an automated message generated by the Vision Content Management System'"".Please do not reply directly to this email. 2
