Registration: Registration fees should not exceed$200 annually and should be prorated for new short term rentals. Permits and
associated fees should be transferable with the sale of the property.Occupancy:This is too restrictive. Most newer homes were built
to accommodate more than 4 adults. My own home has four bedrooms, including two sets of bunkbeds for children.At a minimum,
two per bedroom plus four should be allowed.The age limit for children should be 7 and under to be consistent with the policies of
other neighboring communities and HOAs. Noise:Agreed. However,we often experience neighbors reporting excessive noise on the
wrong house or reporting excessive noise before quiet hours even commence.What will the process for regulation be?How will
wrongly or unjustly accused offenders be able to defend against accusations?What sort of proof will be required?Garbage:Agreed.
Fire Safety:Agreed. Minimum Stay: Mostly agreed. However,will there be exceptions for having to move a guest for one night or
place a tenant during maintenance?Special Events: No Comment. Local Contact Person:Agreed. Interior posting:Agreed.
Registration Process:Agreed.Compliance:These fees are excessive.Who is responsible for paying the fees? If it's the homeowner,
how can subsequent violations be a higher penalty when a new guest is the offender?Citing a fee per day is excessive depending on
the violation.Can penalties be disputed?Restricting rentals for 12-months is overly punitive and could potentially affect a
homeowner's ability to keep their house. Not all violations are equal in severity.
