Local Motel Owners Hurting

The Warbler feels for the local motel owners. When you ride around town and see "Vacation House Rental" signs all over the place, whats a motel owner to do? These "Vactaion Houses" are not subject to the same regulations and taxes that motels are. Why is that? If someone rents out a vacation house, they should be subject to the same regulations and taxes that motel owners are. It's just sick.

In addition, these "Vacation Rentals" can be problems for local residents as well. The city folk come up here, rent these houses, and have big shin-digs, loud music and extra traffic on local roads - not to mention parking issues.

Does the town have code enforcements to try and protect our local motels - the same motels that support and donate to many town events?

The Warbler knows that we even have a town board member who built a house for the sole purpose of a vacation rental!
