the White Surf Subdivision, and that the other two property <br />owners live in the same subdivision as Mr. Dudek. He <br />presented supporting evidence that the transient rentals are <br />negatively impacting his quality of life and that of Drs. <br />Gilman and Forman, as well as other beachfront property <br />owners. Dr. Conway elaborated on issues related to these <br />transient rentals as follows: large volumes of cars being <br />parked at individual properties and on right-of-way; damage <br />to the sand dunes; sea turtle disorientation; unknown persons <br />wandering around in the middle of the night; trespassing; <br />noise pollution; and vandalism, and invited individual Board <br />Members to spend time at the site to see what is going on. <br />Vice Chairman Solari asked Dr. Conway to clarify what <br />remedy he was seeking from the Board. <br />Dr. Conway responded that he would like to see the Board <br />enact a two to three car limit at individual properties. <br />Discussion/debate ensued between the Board and Dr. Conway <br />about the existing parking regulations for residential homes. <br />Commissioner Flescher voiced concerns that formulating <br />regulations governing residential parking might impede upon <br />individual property rights. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan said that the parking rules for <br />homeowners will fall under the existing County Code, as far <br />as guests visiting a single-family residence; however, he was <br />proposing separate regulations governing commercial <br />vacation rentals. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Solari, to direct staff to draft <br />parking regulations for vacation rentals, either by the <br />addition of wording to our existing County Code, or by <br />drafting a new Ordinance to deal with parking at residences <br />that are being employed as vacation rentals. <br />Chairman Davis asked staff to provide him with a list of <br />properties at which there have been complaints related to <br />transient rentals. <br />Dr. Conway related that since the City has tightened up its <br />restrictions on transient vacation rentals, these types of <br />rentals will migrate over to the County. <br />A brief discussion ensued between the Board and staff about <br />the collection of Tourist Taxes. <br />Board of County Commission Minutes Page 20 <br />February 10, 2015 <br />ATTACHMENT 1 <br />
