Directors

· The board issued the following statement,
“Thank you to all who
attended Saturday’s meeting and to those who emailed and contacted
members of the board about vacation rentals.
Your input was very helpful and appreciated.
The deliberations of the board
were made much easier when, the day after we mailed copies of the vacation
rental proposal, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors adopted its long
delayed ordinance on vacation rentals.
This ordinance, while not perfect, addressed many of the concerns
expressed by those of you who wanted reasonable controls placed on vacation
rentals while at the same time providing for those who were concerned about
maintaining flexibility in the use of their property. There was broad support for the vacation
rental ordinance expressed at the meeting.
The owners of two of the
properties offered as vacation rentals have already committed to adhering to
the terms of the ordinance. The board
will contact the owners of a third property to discuss the ordinance and relay
the community views expressed at the meeting.
The members of the board and most
if not all of those present at the meeting felt that the county ordinance
is the preferred method for dealing with this issue. Accordingly, the board voted not to submit the
CC & R proposal for a membership vote.”
· Adjournment:
· The meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:00 AM.
