The Chairman opened the Public Hearing <br /> George Lamborn, Vice President, South Beach Property <br /> Owners Association (SBPOA), read a statement (copy on file) <br /> urging the Board to pass regulations to restore peace and order <br /> to residential neighborhoods. <br /> Joseph Paladin, 6450 Tropical Way, President of Black Swan <br /> Consulting, and a member of the Short Term Vacation Rental <br /> Advisory Committee, supported a one-year local license; a <br /> triennial inspection; a maximum cap of ten individuals per unit; <br /> and a dedicated section on noise regulations in the final <br /> Ordinance. He also advocated a ban on outside amplification of <br /> speakers. <br /> Glen Powell, 12845 Bay Street, STVRAC Member and Vacation <br /> Rental Owner, talked about having stronger noise regulations <br /> for all residences. He also advocated for owners of existing <br /> licensed rentals to have the use of their rental unit <br /> grandfathered and portable. <br /> Commissioner Davis stressed that there is a huge difference <br /> between a home and a short term vacation rental, and that he <br /> was not in favor of a blanket prohibition of amplified devices. <br /> Vice Chairman Flescher preferred to leave the noise regulations <br /> broad-scale and applicable to all residences. <br /> Carter Taylor, 2235 Silver Sands Court, advocated for an <br /> annual County license and a three-year inspection; a temporary <br /> ban on outdoor amplified sound; and a maximum of two <br /> persons per bedroom,with a cap of ten occupants per unit. <br /> A brief discussion ensued regarding the possibility of a Bert J. <br /> Harris claim from licensed owners who are marketing their <br /> units as having a large number of bedrooms. <br /> Mark Mendelsohn, 665 Reef Road, commented on collecting <br /> taxes from the rental unit owners.
