CRY OF ORONO M UNIGPAL CODs: AMENDMENT, ARTICLE IV, CHAPTER 25, SEG 26-31: SECTION 2 -1; With respect to the (Ities lids est 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 properties than standard neighborhoods and the likelihood of disWrbonces is exponentially reduces. Furthermore our renters arse giving very clear communication that responsible use of the property Is expected and they must agree to this. Of a secondary and of a much higher cancan to us Is the impact that'Crulsers Cove has on the property owners on the Island, every Issue represaited 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 u p higher to hear It over the next raft Is very disturbing and some of the "rnusie is highly objectionable (and would not be allowed aver the TV or Radio airwaves) with the lyric content .

It and any other current short teem rentals in the city are not a principle place of residence, as kxrg tram are not, this would Indicate to me that this Is 1) to make it impossible to rent and 2) It is Moving the door open for homeowners who what to rent their homes during high pxoflle events for inflated prices over short turns, excluding this opportunity of other properly owners. (Example PGA Golf tournarnarts; 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 io reside within city limits as a basis for being permitted to do business in the city. Section 2 - 5 There are only platted roads no actual city maintained roads exist. There are no civil amenities provided by the city for roads. There are no city provided amenities an the Island. Section 2 - S This Is already our current minimum requirement howavar due to the way the calendar fills up it leaves an occasional taro night window in which we would like to reserve the ability to fill these dates. Section 2-11 This does notapply
