CITY OF ORONO MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT,ARTICLE IV,CHkPTER 26,SEC. 26-31: SECTION 2-1;With respect to the Cities interest in the issue of unreasonable noise or disturbances it is understandable and that these issues need to be addressed,as it pertains to our property it has a greater degree of isolation from neighboring propertles than standard neighborhoods and the likellhood af disturbances Is exponentially reduced.Furthermore our renters are giving very clear communication that responsible use of the property is expected and they must agree to this.Of a secondary and af a much higher concern to us is the impact that"Cruisers Cove"has on the properry owners on the island,every Issue represented under section 2-1 is violated every weekend and to some extent on week days,the noise level of the various rafts of boat tied together each turning their high powered stereo systems up higher to hear it over the next raft is very disturbing and some of the "musicn is highly objectionable(and would not be allowed over the N or Radio airwaves)with the lyric content.The people are consuming iarge quantitles of alcohol and I'm sure other illiclt drugs,and as documented in the local Sun&Lakeshore weekly newspapers the trash that is left behind is abhorrent. The people alsa come up onto the park and cabin owners' propertles to relieve themselves of bialogical functions and or to ffnd rides off the island by the property owners when they are abandoned or their ride refuses to take them in.These activities are having a greater impact on property value the seasonal renting could ever have. Having grown up in Deephaven and spending many summers with families In what is naw called Cruisers'Cove none of this type of activity ever got even close to what it has become today. Sectlon 2—3 This property as is all the other praperties on the island are currently Recreational-seasonal non-homestead. This property has been a cabin in the famlly since it's construction, it has never been sold and the intent is to keep it in the family, renting is a short term solutlon to pay high taxes until other young family members can become establfshed financially.It and any other current short term rentals i�the city are not a principle place of residence,as long term are not,this would indicate to me that this is 1)to make It Impossible to rent and 2} it Is leaving the door open for homeowners who what to rent their homes during high proflle events for inflated prices over short terms, excluding this opportunity of other property owners. (Example PGA Golf tournaments;the Superbowl football championship ect.)Since this is an amendment to the Business Section of the code I would assume that current business owners are not required to reside within city limits as a basis far being permitted to do buslness in the clty. Section 2—5 There are only platted roads no actual ciry maintained roads exist.There are no civil amenities provided by the city for roads.There are no city pravided amenities on the island. Sectlon 2-9 This is already our current minimum requirement however due to the way the calendar fiils up lt leaves an occaslonal two night window in which we would like ta reserve the ability to fill these dates. Section 2-11 This does not apply
