Glen Powell, who operates four vacation rentals in Roseland, conveyed his <br /> belief that 99.9% of vacation rental landlords do the right thing but the other 0.1% <br /> are the problem. He believes that if Ordinance 2 (prohibiting commercial events <br /> at residences) is passed, it will take care of Ordinance 1. He went on to point out <br /> that bad behavior is not limited to vacation home rentals; homeowners often <br /> exhibit bad behavior as well and there's nothing in the county ordinance that <br /> deals with that. Perhaps there should be code limiting number of cars in front of a <br /> residence regardless of whether it is a vacation rental or not. <br /> Carol Lewis, real estate broker in Indian River County since 1975, spoke in <br /> .favor of vacation rental parking and commercial use restrictions. She contended <br /> that the majority of vacation rental owners are unlicensed. Her neighborhood, <br /> Angler's Cove, is a mix of vacation rentals and residences which she believes is i <br /> problematic. <br /> Dr. Tom Gilman spoke in favor of rental parking and commercial use <br /> restrictions. He asserted that there are times he can't even get into his driveway <br /> due to all the cars parked at the nearby vacation rental. He believes that his <br /> home value has decreased dramatically due to this problem as well. <br /> I <br /> George Lamborn, President of the South Beach Property Owners <br /> Association thanked the Board for the work they've put in regarding this problem <br /> that they inherited but believes that there is not enough police force to enforce <br /> this Ordinance. He believes that they should keep things simple and easy to <br /> enforce. I <br /> i <br /> Dr. Miles Conwayives on South Al and supports pports the Ordinance with the <br /> exception of the second part which allows a person to apply for additional parking <br /> with.a Type C buffer as he contends that this could allow too many vehicles at a <br /> residence. <br /> Nat Mortese of Vero Beach spoke in support of the Ordinance except that <br /> he believes it is unenforceable. He believes that as short term rentals bring <br /> revenue to the county, an enforceable way to solve this problem must be found. <br /> f <br /> Steven Geezler, a Stuart attorney, spoke of his experience in short term <br /> rental litigations. He commended the board for attempting to tackle this case and <br /> believes that dealing with behavior is the answer, despite whether the people are <br /> vacation renters or homeowners. <br /> I <br /> Mr. Emmons stated that he didn't see the merit in the exception for excess <br /> daytime parking spaces and questioned enforceability as well. <br /> PZC/Approved 6 August 13, 2015 <br /> ATTACHMENT � 208' <br /> A <br />
