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 outlined 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 tum off the loud offensive <br />music. Water Patrol checks for life jackets, and asks that they keep it down. As <br />scion as the water patrol is out atrsite 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 reputatlon that is Cruisers Cove? <br />These rental properties are short-term rentals, and seasonal. To plane <br />unnecessary and impossible ordinances against these properties is unfair and <br />will cause a hardship. <br />Since VRI30s are also properties we use for enjoyment, we ensure that they are <br />kept in very good condition, dean & enjoyabie. We take pride in ownershipt <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 />
