The Planning Commission is sending you 3 <br /> recommendations. <br /> The City has received complaints regarding short-term rentals, also known as VRBO, <br /> Airbnb, etc.We have language in our ordinance regarding these,but it is virtually <br /> unenforceable. These types of rentals disturb the character of residential <br /> neighborhoods, while being a resource to our City businesses. Staff has also discussed <br /> these rentals with some of the property owners who are renting their properties. The <br /> Planning Commission will continue their discussion at the July i9 meeting. <br /> Copies of the June 2� Minutes are attached. Please feel free to contact me with any <br /> questions or concerns at 218-568-6699 or at dbittner(a��equotlakes-mn.gov. Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, , � <br /> �— ) <br /> ,�-C� � �-f' �� <br /> � Dawn Bittner <br /> Zoning Specialist <br /> C: Planning Commission <br /> "Thzr institution zs an ec�ual opponunity provider und e�nploye�:" <br />
