ATTACHMENT D Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 11, 2021 Page 4 139 days was definitely too short and would like to see 30 days being the minimum. 140 He also wondered if Councilmember Groff was going to recuse himself in voting 141 on this ordinance because he was the realtor for one of the properties. 142 143 Mr. Darrell Baggenstoss 144 Mr. Baggenstoss stated he agreed with Mayor Roe about the leniency. If it is too 145 strong, these will reset and there will not be any punishment for irresponsible 146 renters. If there are responsible renters in neighborhoods, then a strict policy will 147 not be a problem. He encouraged the Council to make this less lenient and have 148 the punishments go in much quicker and steeper so people doing this understand 149 the importance in how much the residents value their neighborhoods. He agreed 150 that the minimum stay needs to be longer because two or three days within a 151 seven-day period is still every weekend. He thought it was definitely essential 152 that this is strict and lengthy considering the future of Roseville and what they 153 want to invest in the community. 154 155 Mr. Andrew and Ms. Maggie Montain, 286 McCarrons Blvd S 156 Mr. Montain thanked the Council for everything they are doing. He wanted to 157 echo the comments of the neighbors. For him, the concern is mainly the length of 158 stay and he would like to see the Council focus on that. He indicated he was open 159 to 30 days or even 14 days. He thought three violations was also too many. He 160 did not quite understand the repercussions. He would like the Council to dis-in- 161 centivize this activity because the rental property near them can probably net 162 $1,000 on some nights or weekends so to dis-incentivizethat practice might take 163 something specific. 164 165 Ms. Montain indicated this past summer was drastically different than previous 166 years with a new rental property next door. She could tell there was an invest- 167 ment in making their voices heard for how this could be more of a community and 168 neighbors can participate in the things they care about and the natural resource 169 that is Lake McCarrons but also just the community that is Roseville. She indi- 170 cated this has made them think about their property, if they will stay, and how it 171 affects their property value. She noted there is also an environmental part to this 172 as well because the people who rent do not have an investment in the lake or City. 173 174 Mr. Richard and Ms. Alyssa Hess, 1913 Shady Beach Avenue 175 Ms. Hess explained they really appreciated the effort to comeup with a creative 176 solution that fits the community; however, she felt obligated to throw her two 177 cents in about having fewer residents within a timeframe, but in her opinion, the 178 nature of a two- or three-night stay, if that were to be the exception, unfortunately 179 it seems to be to blow off steam. Knowing that their backyard is so close to one 180 of these rentals and that there are young kids who like to enjoy the backyard, it 181 makes them feel hesitant if people are blowing off steam in the next backyard. 182 She asked how can her family feel comfortable being out there with young chil- 183 dren. The other issue is the value of their homes and how will this affect that.
