No additional regulations are necessary. The HOA’s do a good job with their bylaws

There are so many urgent issues in Summit County, why waste time going after this?

This tourist destination thrives on the ability to provide a family friendly environment. Many families rely on properties with murphy beds, day beds, and sofa beds to house them. The restrictions imposed by these regulations will drive guests away from our area causing issues not only for homeowners who rent their properties but for businesses and their employees as well. Please do not pass regulations that will cost the Keystone community jobs!

I have a place in Keystone. This new rewquirement will make it harder to rent and might even mean i might have to sell... Like a lot of others who rely on rent income to justify owning place in Summit Co. This could mean that will be lots of properties on the market and lower resale prices. I live in metro Denver. I as close enough to take care of any issues.. ,Plus the management company for the complex is very reliable to take care of any issues... and proably more reliable then any person who i would hlire then an agent. This is NOT necessary. Gary Meints, Keystone

These regulations cause a cascade of issues not to mention the fact that their doesn’t seem to be a tremendous amount of detail available at this point (e.g., cost of permit, outsourced call center, etc.).

These type of things lead to both out of pocket costs and compliance costs. Summit Cty already has the 2% transfer tax which raises tens of thousands for each transaction

I fully oppose the proposed STR regulations.

I own a large condo in Keystone and this proposed new legislation will severely harm my rental opportunities.

Agreed with many of the comments already written; especially creating a fix to a problem that doesn't exist. I have been an owner in River Run for over 9 years now and have had no issues with with what the commissioners are presenting?! Let's not mess up a good thing here folks!

The regulations (2+2) seem to forget the one bedroom two bathroom condo’s, That sleep six and were design to sleep six. They have a master bedroom bathroom, a Murphy bed, sleeper couch as well as an additional bathroom. This would reduce the amount of revenue as well as the value of the property. I am in favor of all the owners of the keystone HOA going on boycott and not renting to anyone this year. Let’s see how Dillon tax coffers likes it, if they take in no revenue this year. ( other than property tax which would probably be reduced). . We use a property management that files all taxes and pays all taxes. The only people this law would affect are actually people who obey the laws. It wouldn’t affect the people who are currently flying under the radar. As they just would not apply for the permits. Why don’t the people on the commission, quit being lazy and just took the regulations. These were taken from Aspen and then they were adopted by Breckenridge . And now they are trying to use them in Keystone. Why don’t they actually look at these rules and see if they actually would be good for Keystone and for the town of Dillon.

This is not a resort issue and the county needs to recognize all dynamics involved before blindly enacting sweeping legislation such as this.

What is Vail Resorts doing about these regulations? This will have a potentially devastating effect on revenue. They (Vail R) are trying to move toward a model where more people stay at the resort (and spend money) rather than driving from elsewhere for the day and creating traffic/parking problems (the opposite of the issues STR is attempting to fix). Seems to me a resort could simply ignore any such regulations as all common areas are under corporate ownership, either by HOA or Vail Resorts.

Ill-conceived/unfair plan -> class action -> county bleeding money in legal fees. Don't impose such silliness on already HOA heavy destination resorts. We don't need your regulations because we don't have the problems you're allegedly fixing.

This is extreme over-reach. You're trying to fix problems that don't exist. I own in River Run Village where we already have HOA's and a Neighborhood company which impose regulations. The problems you're allegedly trying to fix don't exist. The only thing these regulations will do is force average people who worked hard to own a place in the mountains into selling to rich people who don't need to rent in order to own. And when rental numbers go down, this will ripple into the local economy. When the negative impacts starts piling up over the next few years, you'll be voted out and remembered as the incompetents who hastily and thoughtlessly ruined so much in Keystone and Copper.

I don't understand why they are limiting the growth of the economy in this area by people that probably don't live here and don't have idea what this regulations would do to the community. Please, don't risk out future and listen to all of us!

Please, stop this insanity. It is pure Government overreach - finding more ways to take our money and our liberties every day. Every permit is liberty lost! How can we generate a revenue stream from "duh" public?

I own a condo at Keystone and agree that this is not needed. The adverse impact on Keystone and other resort areas will be troubling to all. This will reduce my property values. At the very least, resort areas should be exempted.
