Wouldn't our high Truckee taxes cover fees?Thank you for your work. Comments below... 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 Limit:This is too restrictive. Many homeowners have bunk rooms and/or lofts.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. Parking:This can be restrictive to owners with small driveways and no garages. Street
parking should be allowed in non-winter months. 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:
Some developers have not installed bear boxes or made room for them and have followed building codes with inspections during
new construction. 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.
