The owners& I give out our personal phone numbers to the neighbors, so if there <br /> is ever a situation that needs our attention, I will drive out to Long Lake and <br /> remedy it right away au#of respect to the neighbors. <br /> With reference ta our Properiy on Big Island, it is ironic that the very things that <br /> are ou�ined in the Cit�'s praposed ordinance, are alE happening even more so in <br /> our badc yarc! of our rental property. �n most weekends our guests enduce foud <br /> objectionable music and bass baami�g from hundreds o#boats tied together. The <br /> drinking, drug use, foul �anguage, nudity, relie�ing themselves over board or up <br /> on the islarui's public tand and on the private property of the Island property <br /> owners, trash leit behind e#c., makes this a much bigger, se�ious issus to the <br /> property owners on the island. <br /> Com�laining does na good. When partying baats sees the water patrol coming, <br /> they pufi away their drinks anc! drugs, get dressed, anri tum off the loud offensive <br /> music. Water Patrol checks for iife jackets, and asks that they keep it down. As <br /> soon as the water patroC is out of site they resume their foud partyingt <br /> 51�auldn't the focus be on Cruisers Cove instead of VRBOs where tiie home- <br /> owner has more at stake? Not to mention the Image of Lake Minnetanka to enjoy <br /> the lake safely�nd without the free for ali reput�tton #hat is Cruisers Cove? <br /> These rental properties are short-term rentals, and seasonal. To place <br /> unne�cessary and �mpossible ordinances against these praperties is unfair and <br /> will cause a hardship. <br /> Since VRBOs are also properties we use for enjoyment, we ensure that they are <br /> kept in very good candi6on, c�ean � enjoyable. We take pride in ownership� <br /> Please reconsider what these orclinances wiii do to an in industry that thrives on <br /> tourism, and how this impacts no# anly the rentat owner, but the city as a whole. <br /> Thank you for your consideration, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jody Laughlin <br /> Michael Laughlin <br />
