STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Michael Gabbard, 705 Waterway Drive. Mr. Gabbard expressed concerns regarding the condition
of the property at 709 Waterway Drive, which he stated was purchased for use as a vacation rental.
John Rossman, 717 Waterway Drive. Mr. Rossman asked the Council to consider options to
regulate entities that are buying properties expressly for the purpose of short-term vacation rentals.
Discussion ensued regarding the state preemption of local regulation of vacation rentals. Mr. Rubin
noted that vacation rentals must be licensed by the state, so if the property is advertised as a
vacation rental, the Village can require that the property be licensed; however, the Village may
not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration of vacation rentals. Staff will meet with
Mr. Gabbard to see what can be done to address issues with the condition of the home and dock.
Applicant Leslie Metz was interviewed for a position on the Library Advisory Board.
