Good Management is All You Need for Safe Short Term Rentals

We rented our family home in Mystic for nearly 10 years using VRBO and HomeAway for advertising and scheduling. We had a responsible property manager and only a few complaints from neighbors over the years. One neighbor (not next door) complained because she didn't like the idea of "strangers" living in her neighborhood. This neighbor was the source of the other complaints, too.

I'm concerned that the liberties afforded to property owners will be impinged upon with the proposed added restrictions. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is embodied in our Constitution. Be careful not to violate basic rights of U.S. citizens.

The issues that had been raised by vocal members of our community should have been relieved by Law Enforcement and/or Zoning Officials. Our current Zoning Regulations offer relief for parking issues and noise after a certain hour at night. Remember, Groton Long Point has its own Zoning Regulations. The even have a law that restricts the use of outdoor machinery before 7:00 am.

I wish I had volunteered to assist with the development of any changes to of Zoning Regulations. Maybe this ordinance will be vetoed either by the power of the RTM or by referendum.
