Bill Walker, St. Christopher Lane, commented on County Code <br />Chapter 912, Single Family Development, and stated that he <br />would support the maximum cap of ten persons per unit. <br />Bronica Jenkins, 1017 Casseekey Lane, expressed concerns <br />about the potential impact of a ten -cap occupancy limit on <br />licensed owners who have customarily accommodated over ten <br />persons in their rental units. She wanted to make sure that as a <br />licensed owner, the usage of her rental units would be <br />grandfathered. <br />Colleen Rosenbaum, 1005 River Wind Circle, owner of a <br />vacation rental, spoke on her positive experiences with the <br />persons who have rented her unit, and the economic benefits of <br />tourist dollars. <br />Tuck Ferrell, 12546 North Highway A1A, representing the <br />North Beach Civic Association, stated that there have been <br />detrimental impacts on his neighborhood due to renters <br />overdoing activities or having large groups of people.
