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 out of respect to the neighbors. <br /> With reference to our Property on Big Island, it is ironic that the very things that <br /> are outiined in the City's proposed ordinance, are all happening even more so in <br /> our back yard of our rental property. On most weekends our guests endure loud <br /> objectionable music and bass booming from hundreds of boats tied together. The <br /> drinking, drug use, foul language, nudity, relieving themselves over board or up <br /> on the island's public land and on the private property of the Island property <br /> owners, trash left behind etc., makes this a much bigger, serious issue to the <br /> property owners on the island. <br /> Complaining does no good. When partying boats sees the water patrol coming, <br /> they put away their drinks and drugs, get dressed, and turn off the loud offensive <br /> music. Water Patral checks for life jackets, and asks that they keep it down. As <br /> soon as the water patrol is out of site they resume their loud partying! <br /> Shouldn't the focus be on Cruisers Cove instead of VRBOs where the home- <br /> owner has more at stake? Not to mention the Image of Lake Minnetonka to enjoy <br /> the lake safely and without the free for all reputation that is Cruisers Cove? <br /> These rental properties are short-term rentals, and seasonal. To place <br /> unnecessary and impossible ordinances against these properties 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 condition, clean 8� enjoyable. We take pride in ownership! <br /> Please reconsider what these ordinances will do to an in industry that thrives on <br /> tourism, and how this impacts not only the rental owner, but the city as a whole. <br /> Thank you for your consideration, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jody Laughlin <br /> Michael Laughlin <br />
