10:41 1. Consideration of Recommendations from the Short Term Vacation
a.m. Rental Advisory Committee (STVRAC)
(memorandum dated March 29 2016) ________________________________________ 151-173
County Attorney Reingold announced that the County could
not adopt an Ordinance or a regulation that prohibits vacation
rentals and that the Board would not be taking final action on
this matter at this meeting.
Community Development Director Stan Boling gave a brief
history of Short Term Vacation rentals and reviewed the
recommendations by the Short Term Vacation Rental Advisory
Committee (STVRAC) as follows: (1) that additional vacation
rental regulations were needed; (2) keep unchanged "vacation
rental" definition, prohibition on commercial events at
residence; and (3) vacation rental parking limitations. He added
that the STVRAC proposed the following three items for
consideration by the Board:
1. Proposed Vacation Rental Ordinance
2. Proposed schedule of fines/citations for violation of vacation
rental and commercial event at residence violations
3. Recommend "progress report" one (1) year after adoption
of Vacation Rental Ordinance
He proposed the Board direct staff to: (1) initiate the formal
process to amend the Land Development Regulations; (2)
present a fines/citations resolution; and (3) present a formal
motion on "progress report" at time of LDR hearing.
A question was raised whether the County could look at an
individual's short term rental license and match up the sales tax
revenue.
Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller Jeff Smith replied he
would be bringing to the Board a recommendation to sign a
contract with the State of Florida to share information on those
who have short term rental licenses in order to collect the
tourist tax revenue; however, it had both its advantages and
disadvantages and he was investigating how to proceed. He said
the State would notify the Clerk if a license was executed for a
short term rental and he would be monitoring it. He pointed
out that the Clerk of Courts had the authority to require the
licensee to bring in their books and records to be audited.
Board of County Commission Minutes Page 8
April 12, 2016
The Board sought and received information from Director
Boling on limiting the number of occupants in short-term rental
houses, the demand on septic tanks, and site specific complaints.
Chairman Solari opened the floor for public input at 11:27 a.m.
Glenn Powell, 12845 Bay Street, member of the Short Term
Rental Advisory Committee and owner of Short Term Vacation
Rentals summarized the tasks and actions of the committee.
George Lamborn, 2111 Via Fuentes, President of the South
Beach Property Owners Association said the Indian River
Neighborhood Association, South Beach Property Owners
Association and North Beach Civic Association represent the
interests of 99% of the property owners who own property for
no other reason than quiet enjoyment of their residences, and
whose quality of life and property value is at risk from
commercialization of the neighborhood. He felt the handpicked
Short Term Rental Advisory Committee was dominated by
Short Term Rental operators.
Mr. Lamborn stated he had asked that the concluding written
statements to the Short Term Rental Advisory Committee be
made part of the record.
Colleen Rosenbaum, resident of Indian River County, and
owner of a Short Term Vacation Rental Home, spoke on her
experience with the Short Term Vacation Rentals and felt it was
a bonus for the community because sometimes the renters come
back to make Vero Beach their permanent residence.
The Board sought information from Ms. Rosenbaum regarding
her short term rental home. She suggested that the County
offer a course to Short Term Rental Owners educating them on
the rules to be in compliance.
Carter Taylor, Chairman of the Land Use Committee for the
Indian River Neighborhood Association and the South Beach
Property Owners, spoke on protecting the quality of life in
Indian River County and his concerns with the Short Term
Rental Advisory Committee.
The Board recessed for lunch at 12:19 a.m., and reconvened the
meeting at 12:49 p.m. with all members present.
Joseph Paladin, Black Swan Consulting, representing District 2
on the Short Term Rental Advisory Committee, said the
committee had a hard time agreeing on anything. He opined on
Board of County Commission Minutes Page 9
April 12, 2016
the number of occupants allowed in the vacation rental.
Dr. Miles Conway, 2340 AIA Highway, disagreed with the
recommendations contained in the proposed draft Ordinance
made at the March 9, 2016 Short Term Rental Advisory
Committee Meeting and asked the Board for an opportunity to
discuss their side, which was not considered at the meeting. He
read into the record, a letter from Tuck Ferrell, President of the
North Beach Civic Association, who was unable to attend the
Board meeting. He claimed that statements were redacted from
the minutes and staffs review of the Monroe County Ordinance
was not recorded at a meeting of the Short Term Rental
Advisory Committee.
Dr. Conway wanted an opportunity for the Monroe County
Ordinance to be heard and a fair hearing at a Planning and
Zoning Commission Meeting in regards to Short Term Rentals.
A discussion ensued regarding the minutes of the final Short
Term Rental Advisory Committee, and it was suggested to
direct the County Attorney to add an appropriate addendum to
reflect the information in the March 9, 2016 Short Term Rental
Advisory meeting minutes.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Chairman Solari, the Board voted unanimously to direct the
County Attorney to add an appropriate addendum to reflect Dr.
Miles Conway and Mr. Taylor Carter's statements in the
March 9, 2016 Short Term Rental Advisory meeting minutes.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by Vice
Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously directed staff to:
(1) initiate the formal Land Development Regulation (LDR)
amendment process, with the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P&Z) to look further into: (A) the occupancy
issues, both overall and related to (a) houses that are on septic
systems; and (b) children under the age of 18; and (B) adoption
of the recommended Vacation Rental Ordinance; (2) present a
Vacation Rental Violations Fine Schedule Resolution for the
Board's consideration at the time that the Vacation Rental
Ordinance is presented for final adoption; and (3) include a
recommended Motion for a Vacation Rental Ordinance future
"progress report" for the Board to consider at the time that the
