We bring guest to Summit, they spend money in the County and pay taxes to increase overall revenue.

issues brought up (trash, parking, noise etc) are issues that may occur with any types of occupants, whether short term renters, long term renters or owners. Why single out STR properties?

I think there is a better way to go about this. Let's get both sides involved and work as neighbors instead of a taddle-telling system. This is a great community of people who are invested in Summit County. We all care and I believe there is a better way to find a middle ground !

We have been doing what the county wants STR to do except the 30 minute response time and a $400 a year permit fee. I pay over $500 a month in HOA fees that has rules and regulations including similar requirements. Why should it be necessary for me to have one more entity tell me to follow rules that I already follow.

I am against these counterproductive regulations. I own a house in a small neighborhood. We already do an effective job in regulate our own interests.

We own a place in Keystone and are against these very generalized regulations. Our neighborhoods and HOA's should be allowed to regulate our own interests.

These regulation are too general and seem like quite the overreach to me. Especially the parking policy (1 spot per bedroom required). We have a 2 bdrm place in Keystone and it only came with 1 spot. What are we supossed to do? From what I've read, 90% of the places in Keystone would be in violation of this law each night! No way...

tourism is the largest industry in summit county. to say that this industry is impacting residents quality of life? this industry provides them with the ability to have that life. I oppose this regulation; I own a property in Keystone.

The regulations are too broad a brush and for communities that were built primarily as second family homes and also used for short term rentals. In Keystone over 80% of the properties in HOAs are short term rentals. The existing structure of HOAs and management companies provide adequate oversight and address any abuses. These communities should be excluded from the regulations which are primarily designed to deal with rentals in full time resident residential areas in the County.

These regulations seem very one-size-fits-all, poorly conceived, and a bad precedent to set. Let our neighborhoods/HOAs determine and regulate in their own best interests. We already pay taxes, and we don't need a bigger bureaucratic mess!

What is the impetus for this poorly thought-out iniative? Another source of income for Summit County? It appears that this hints of taxation without representation as property owners are blind-sided with new regulations that impose an undue burden on self-managed properties. If property owners are not providing an acceptable product, the market will self correct and those property owners will soon be out of business.

I have a unit in Keystone and I do not support this regulation.

The proposed regulations hurt nearly everyone in this town in some way and are not practical solutions.

we pay a fortune in taxes already and this is totally unfair requiring a landlord to live within30 miles of the property

Yet another round of fees/taxes collected from Summit County will do nothing but stifle the tourism. Hasn't Summit county collected enough?

The requirement for a manager to be within 30 miles is absurd for an RV sight. It should be made far more specific to the type of property.

Please don't add another level of bureaucracy and burden to very middle class property owners who have been in the community for decades. Through STR... we finally have an efficient way of dealing with the ever increasing costs of mountain life in Summit County... but initiatives like this make it seem like we are being pushed out.

This is more government over reach.
