This can vary between municipalities. Further the Township's solicitor advises that: "STR's and residential uses are separate and distinct uses of land, differentiated by their purpose and the way persons occupy units. There is a legal basis to regulate STR's in zoning by-laws to mitigate their use characteristics that represent a more commercial use of land (Hodgart et al.v. Toronto (City), 2019 CarswellOnt 19437). The characterization depends on whether the property is the operator's principal residence: When a dwelling unit serves as the principal residence, the use remains residential, with the unit primarily functioning as a place of residence for residents and only secondarily as accommodation for visitors. Dedicated STR's (not associated with a principal residence) exhibit characteristics of commercial use and therefore would not normally be considered as residential uses." As Council has previously advised that they do not wish to proceed with planning regulations, timelines, options, and costs associated with planning regulations have not been included in this report; however, if planning regulations are being considered, Council should give consideration to Planning Report No. P26-019 respecting the recent decisions respecting the Township of Oro-Medonte's STR regulating framework as well.

The characterization depends on whether the property is the operator's principal residence: When a dwelling unit serves as the principal residence, the use remains residential, with the unit primarily functioning as a place of residence for residents and only secondarily as accommodation for visitors. Dedicated STR's (not associated with a principal residence) exhibit characteristics of commercial use and therefore would not normally be considered as residential uses." As Council has previously advised that they do not wish to proceed with planning regulations, timelines, options, and costs associated with planning regulations have not been included in this report; however, if planning regulations are being considered, Council should give consideration to Planning Report No. P26-019 respecting the recent decisions respecting the Township of Oro-Medonte's STR regulating framework as well.

Page 3 of 72 Implementation of STR licensing varies, with some municipalities not pursuing licensing but rather having pursued the use of strong regulatory by-laws paired with an Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS). Most municipalities that have implemented STR licensing by-laws have a substantially higher number of STR's than Severn or have particular concerns that resulted in the implementation of the system such as septic or water issues. It is important to note that, Severn actively manages the majority of septic systems through the Septic Reinspection Program, and if a complaint is received, it is promptly investigated by the Building Department.

Staff heard the concerns raised at the public meeting particularly regarding the noise and open-air burning by-law and recommend that amendments be brought forward to the noise and open-air burning by-laws to introduce penalty provisions for both renter/individual causing the offence and property owner, outside of any decision respecting the implementation of a licensing system. This will give staff more enforcement tools and penalties to apply when required. Traditionally municipalities, including Severn, have approached enforcement from an 'education-first' mindset where by-law attends the property, talks to the individual(s), tries to gain compliance first and only if compliance is not obtained then issues a fine. With the recent change to the By-law Violations & Complaints Policy respecting STR's, upon receipt of a complaint, staff would attend and for these issues, when warranted, a fine/penalty would be issued to the renter and property owner to be followed by proactive enforcement.

Following the public meeting, staff held a meeting with the local OPP Detachment Commander, Inspector Todd Landon to see if there are different approaches that may be taken respecting enforcement and communications. While neighbours do not want to submit complaints, both OPP and by-law enforcement rely on those confidential complaints to determine where resources, patrols, and enforcement are conducted. Staff will be working with OPP communications to send out some joint messaging through each of our media channels, as well as providing information to local community groups and organizations so residents know who to contact when needed. Further, staff have requested that should the OPP attend a property for any by-law regulated issue (i.e. noise, etc.) that the occurrence report be provided to staff so that by-law staff may use that information to lay the appropriate penalty.

Further, staff have requested that should the OPP attend a property for any by-law regulated issue (i.e. noise, etc.) that the occurrence report be provided to staff so that by-law staff may use that information to lay the appropriate penalty. Following the public meeting, staff held a meeting with the local OPP Detachment Commander, Inspector Todd Landon to see if there are different approaches that may be taken respecting enforcement and communications.

With respect to existing operators, whether they are local/live on-site or live out of town, neither would be grandfathered in a licensing system. The Municipal Act, 2001 that sets out the provisions to permit licensing, does not include the ability to grandfather operators. Further, it is important that operators are reviewed and treated equally in a licensing by-law.

As a result, if Council pursues a licensing program, and a property complies with all requirements of the licensing by-law, the Township is obligated (must) issue the licence.

It is proposed that any licensing be tied to the number of approved bedrooms, with a maximum occupancy capacity of 2 persons per bedroom which is based on the Ontario Building Code. If a property is on a septic system, the capacity approved would also be tied to the septic system approval on file with the municipality. If the property is on Township services (water & sewer), then capacity would be 2 persons per bedroom; however, the Township would have no way of confirming the number of bedrooms as we do not maintain building permit files permanently.

She further commented that while there are family-owned cottages, many are not being operated as such but rather as a commercial business. Ms. Frank advised that the control of density is important and expressed concern regarding the health & welfare of their community. She commented that generally licensing provides positive options such as inspections, 24/7 response, the ability to create a safe environment, and noted that regulation should not be an issue for a responsible host as licensing provides a cohesive solution.

Chris Granger, 3575 Lauderdale Point Road. Mr. Granger commented that the Township's 'Good Neighbour' policies not working with STR's as the operators not their neighbours. He noted that if you stayed at a hotel that your behaviours would be regulated by hotel, and that neighbours should not be responsible for regulating or reporting problematic STR's. In particular, he advised that the problem is repeat bad behaviour, and owners who need to be held responsible through the application of consistent STR standards that are fair to neighbours, with escalating fines and which address density and number of occupants. Mr. Granger advised that the number of STR's are past the saturation point in some areas leading to constant noise issues and many renting above advertised capacity. He requested graduated licensing fees which would result in full cost-recovery for a licensing system, and that licensing fees be scoped depending on their operating period or number of bedrooms to make it fair to the operators. In conclusion, he commented that the problem is not going away and with AirBnB encouraging operators to setup in Severn due to a lack of regulation that a fair and comprehensive licensing system is needed as the Severn lifestyle is being threatened.

He noted that if you stayed at a hotel that your behaviours would be regulated by hotel, and that neighbours should not be responsible for regulating or reporting problematic STR's. In particular, he advised that the problem is repeat bad behaviour, and owners who need to be held responsible through the application of consistent STR standards that are fair to neighbours, with escalating fines and which address density and number of occupants. Mr. Granger advised that the number of STR's are past the saturation point in some areas leading to constant noise issues and many renting above advertised capacity. He requested graduated licensing fees which would result in full cost-recovery for a licensing system, and that licensing fees be scoped depending on their operating period or number of bedrooms to make it fair to the operators. In conclusion, he commented that the problem is not going away and with AirBnB encouraging operators to setup in Severn due to a lack of regulation that a fair and comprehensive licensing system is needed as the Severn lifestyle is being threatened. Kelly Erickson, 3193 Shoreview Drive. Ms. Erickson advised that she concurs with Ms. Frank's comments.

He advised that he has had to call fire a few times due to renters leaving fires unattended. Mr. Binetti expressed particular concerns respecting neighbourhood safety, and noted that unlike hotels which are regulated, that STR's currently operate without oversight with enforcement and complaints being required from neighbours who worry about retaliation from STR operators and renters after complaints are filed. He further commented that STR's also impact housing availability, and that the issue is about balance where a community should not have to sacrifice peace and safety for an unregulated business to operate in residential areas.

Mr. Veitch inquired as to how a licensing fee would not cover the cost of a licensing system. He noted that he lived next to a STR in Bracebridge and never knew what he was coming home to. Mr. Veitch advised that the Township needs to look into 24-hour by-law enforcement as it is not fair that neighbours should have to wait for OPP to respond, and that enforcement is needed on weekend evenings when parties are occurring. He noted that if operators are charged enough, it should support the program. Overall, he advised that there are responsible and irresponsible owners, and that residents should not have to put with irresponsible owners. Jan Veitch, 3939 Bennet Avenue.

Ms. Ford advised that as a STR operator that they do everything in their power to screen STR renters, they meet with the renters when they arrive, provide a house manual with code of conduct, supply contact information and have never had a complaint. She requested that not all STR owners be labelled as bad operators, and that her renters do contribute to local businesses when they stay, and often STR operators hire a local business to manage the property. Ms. Ford questioned whether licensing is the correct solution to ensure STR's are respectful while still profitable and noted that there need to be a way to penalize bad operators who are only about 2% of the total operators. In conclusion, she requested that if the Township proceeds with licensing that there is a way to differentiate between the big versus small operator and noted that she is concerned that a licensing system penalizes good operators.

Mr. Daub advised that as an operator he vets his guests, and many platforms have guest ratings and any problem guests would get a zero rating resulting in them being recommended for removal by a platform. As a result, if these tools are being used, what benefit would there by from new regulation. Jake Daub, 4346 East Shore Road.

Mr. Shult advised that he has a STR, does everything he can to be a good operator, and does not see the need for licensing which he believes is nothing but a cash grab as it does not equate to good operators. He questioned what licensing will resolve that regulator by-laws cannot and recommended that the existing rules be enforced. He further noted that he has neighbours that call for malicious reasons but will always have someone for neighbours to call if there are issues. In conclusion, he wants the ability to rent when he is not using his cottage to assist with costs and noted that licensing will not resolve the issues. Josepie Shult, 3879 Treeline Drive.

We are surprised that a building permit could have been issued to such a big building. It is completely out of place on our street. To establish a perspective, this building is akin to placing the Toronto Union Station in Orillia,Ontario. Such a large building like Union Station attracts many people and we have no way of determining their credibility. We have unknown people walking and driving around. We do not wish to unfairly accuse people of any wrongdoing but with the variety of temporary residents in our area the likelihood of problems occurring rises. I am concerned that complaints from our area to the police may not result in a timely response unless there is danger to the well being of people. A new parking lot on our street is established when the building is rented out. We have found that our yard is used by their pets as a convenient toilet.

I am concerned that complaints from our area to the police may not result in a timely response unless there is danger to the well being of people. A new parking lot on our street is established when the building is rented out. We have found that our yard is used by their pets as a convenient toilet. We are surprised that a building permit could have been issued to such a big building. It is completely out of place on our street. To establish a perspective, this building is akin to placing the Toronto Union Station in Orillia,Ontario.

The lighting systems on both the front and rear of the building, when left on during the night, provide illumination that is distracting.

I would like to make some further observations concerning the upcoming vote on STR licensing. Licensing is required to ensure that the property owner becomes responsible for their renters behavior and relieve adjacent property owners from the onerous task of continuously monitoring and reporting bad behavior let alone having to endure it on an ongoing basis with no end in sight. We should let the property owner deal with his renters and eventually with escalating fines to the property owner, they will ensure compliance. Penalizing the renter with fines from the township does nothing to alleviate the problem with the next renter in a few days time. The next issue is group size. As you are aware , AirB&B is promoting our township as an ideal location for STR's due to its lack of regulations and the returns on investment for large group STR's. 78% of their STR's are in the 8+ listings. The cumulative effect of living beside or near to one of these absentee property owner STRs is devastating. It has forced us from being a lover of our property and its natural beauty to having become indoor dwellers. We can no longer sit outside and enjoy ourselves. We are forced to close our windows, run AC all night to cool the house instead of opening a window. These houses are built adhering to single family building codes and once they pass regulations are turned loose as party houses. They need to be regulated to control the number of (guests). Density is also a major issue. Our neighborhood is already oversaturated. Other than some form of lottery to see who would get a license in a dense neighborhood I don't see it getting better any time soon. So, I'd like to address what might make it better in the future. For instance, If a property operating as an STR at present is sold the new owner would need to be in compliance with density regulations in order to operate an STR. In other words , if some form of grandfathering is adopted then it should only apply to the current property owner and not the property. This would provide for a lower density of STR's for oversaturated neighborhoods, albeit over a substantial amount of time. Also if some form of licensing suspension or revocation is adopted in a plan they should apply to both the property owner and the property. This to ensure that the STR isn't simply listed under another "co-owner" and reopened. The last issue is safety. With my knowledge of the problems in our neighborhood and the councils statement of few complaints, I can only conclude that people are afraid to report problems. It is not a stretch to imagine that someone might be afraid to report a problem concerning 20 drunken people next door, not knowing what form of retaliation might occur. If people know that filing a complaint will have the result of bringing the STR into compliance within a short time they will be more likely to lodge these complaints. And the number of complaints will shortly decrease substantially. Again , thanks for listening to my concerns. Good day, My name is Chris Granger and I reside at 3575 Lauderdale Pt Crescent.

With my knowledge of the problems in our neighborhood and the councils statement of few complaints, I can only conclude that people are afraid to report problems. It is not a stretch to imagine that someone might be afraid to report a problem concerning 20 drunken people next door, not knowing what form of retaliation might occur. If people know that filing a complaint will have the result of bringing the STR into compliance within a short time they will be more likely to lodge these complaints. And the number of complaints will shortly decrease substantially. Again , thanks for listening to my concerns. Good day, My name is Chris Granger and I reside at 3575 Lauderdale Pt Crescent. I would like to make some further observations concerning the upcoming vote on STR licensing. Licensing is required to ensure that the property owner becomes responsible for their renters behavior and relieve adjacent property owners from the onerous task of continuously monitoring and reporting bad behavior let alone having to endure it on an ongoing basis with no end in sight. We should let the property owner deal with his renters and eventually with escalating fines to the property owner, they will ensure compliance. Penalizing the renter with fines from the township does nothing to alleviate the problem with the next renter in a few days time. The next issue is group size. As you are aware , AirB&B is promoting our township as an ideal location for STR's due to its lack of regulations and the returns on investment for large group STR's. 78% of their STR's are in the 8+ listings. The cumulative effect of living beside or near to one of these absentee property owner STRs is devastating. It has forced us from being a lover of our property and its natural beauty to having become indoor dwellers. We can no longer sit outside and enjoy ourselves. We are forced to close our windows, run AC all night to cool the house instead of opening a window. These houses are built adhering to single family building codes and once they pass regulations are turned loose as party houses. They need to be regulated to control the number of (guests). Density is also a major issue. Our neighborhood is already oversaturated. Other than some form of lottery to see who would get a license in a dense neighborhood I don't see it getting better any time soon. So, I'd like to address what might make it better in the future. For instance, If a property operating as an STR at present is sold the new owner would need to be in compliance with density regulations in order to operate an STR. In other words , if some form of grandfathering is adopted then it should only apply to the current property owner and not the property. This would provide for a lower density of STR's for oversaturated neighborhoods, albeit over a substantial amount of time. Also if some form of licensing suspension or revocation is adopted in a plan they should apply to both the property owner and the property.

As you are aware , AirB&B is promoting our township as an ideal location for STR's due to its lack of regulations and the returns on investment for large group STR's. 78% of their STR's are in the 8+ listings. The cumulative effect of living beside or near to one of these absentee property owner STRs is devastating. It has forced us from being a lover of our property and its natural beauty to having become indoor dwellers. We can no longer sit outside and enjoy ourselves. We are forced to close our windows, run AC all night to cool the house instead of opening a window. These houses are built adhering to single family building codes and once they pass regulations are turned loose as party houses. They need to be regulated to control the number of (guests). Density is also a major issue. Our neighborhood is already oversaturated. Other than some form of lottery to see who would get a license in a dense neighborhood I don't see it getting better any time soon. So, I'd like to address what might make it better in the future. For instance, If a property operating as an STR at present is sold the new owner would need to be in compliance with density regulations in order to operate an STR. In other words , if some form of grandfathering is adopted then it should only apply to the current property owner and not the property. This would provide for a lower density of STR's for oversaturated neighborhoods, albeit over a substantial amount of time. Also if some form of licensing suspension or revocation is adopted in a plan they should apply to both the property owner and the property. This to ensure that the STR isn't simply listed under another "co-owner" and reopened. The last issue is safety. With my knowledge of the problems in our neighborhood and the councils statement of few complaints, I can only conclude that people are afraid to report problems. It is not a stretch to imagine that someone might be afraid to report a problem concerning 20 drunken people next door, not knowing what form of retaliation might occur. If people know that filing a complaint will have the result of bringing the STR into compliance within a short time they will be more likely to lodge these complaints. And the number of complaints will shortly decrease substantially. Again , thanks for listening to my concerns. Good day, My name is Chris Granger and I reside at 3575 Lauderdale Pt Crescent. I would like to make some further observations concerning the upcoming vote on STR licensing. Licensing is required to ensure that the property owner becomes responsible for their renters behavior and relieve adjacent property owners from the onerous task of continuously monitoring and reporting bad behavior let alone having to endure it on an ongoing basis with no end in sight.

For instance, If a property operating as an STR at present is sold the new owner would need to be in compliance with density regulations in order to operate an STR. In other words , if some form of grandfathering is adopted then it should only apply to the current property owner and not the property. This would provide for a lower density of STR's for oversaturated neighborhoods, albeit over a substantial amount of time. Also if some form of licensing suspension or revocation is adopted in a plan they should apply to both the property owner and the property. This to ensure that the STR isn't simply listed under another "co-owner" and reopened. The last issue is safety. With my knowledge of the problems in our neighborhood and the councils statement of few complaints, I can only conclude that people are afraid to report problems. It is not a stretch to imagine that someone might be afraid to report a problem concerning 20 drunken people next door, not knowing what form of retaliation might occur. If people know that filing a complaint will have the result of bringing the STR into compliance within a short time they will be more likely to lodge these complaints. And the number of complaints will shortly decrease substantially. Again , thanks for listening to my concerns. Good day, My name is Chris Granger and I reside at 3575 Lauderdale Pt Crescent. I would like to make some further observations concerning the upcoming vote on STR licensing. Licensing is required to ensure that the property owner becomes responsible for their renters behavior and relieve adjacent property owners from the onerous task of continuously monitoring and reporting bad behavior let alone having to endure it on an ongoing basis with no end in sight. We should let the property owner deal with his renters and eventually with escalating fines to the property owner, they will ensure compliance. Penalizing the renter with fines from the township does nothing to alleviate the problem with the next renter in a few days time. The next issue is group size. As you are aware , AirB&B is promoting our township as an ideal location for STR's due to its lack of regulations and the returns on investment for large group STR's. 78% of their STR's are in the 8+ listings. The cumulative effect of living beside or near to one of these absentee property owner STRs is devastating. It has forced us from being a lover of our property and its natural beauty to having become indoor dwellers. We can no longer sit outside and enjoy ourselves. We are forced to close our windows, run AC all night to cool the house instead of opening a window. These houses are built adhering to single family building codes and once they pass regulations are turned loose as party houses. They need to be regulated to control the number of (guests).

I can vouch for how bad it can be, having lived next to an STR in Bracebridge where we experienced excessive noise, parking disputes, garbage and litter, and property damage. Thankfully, the Condo Act allowed our condo board to put a stop to it after several weeks because it violated condo rules. Thanks for trying to work on this tough problem.

Licensing fees and revenue  If there are 147 STRs in Severn and each paid a $2,000 licensing fee, that would be $294,000 in revenue which would help cover additional bylaw capacity and potentially a contract with private security.

We make only enough to cover some of our family's cottage expenses so the $2,000 would come out of our pockets, but it's a small price to pay if it makes Severn a better place to live.

Taxation: Transient Hospitality Tax (THT)  Consider implementing the Transient Hospitality Tax.  This might not initially make existing resorts happy, but since 50% must go to a promotional organization for Severn, resorts could collaborate on an organization that promotes them.

Licensing, at the least, may make STR owners more accountable and simplify contacting them for Severn staƯ and agents.  Pass a bylaw restricting rentals to anyone younger than 25. This would help STR owners who don't want to rent to younger groups but feel pressured by platform dynamics. Airbnb will remove a listing if you "discriminate" based on age.

Other important points  Contrary to remarks at the meeting, giving a renter a bad review is ineƯective. They can use another identity or have someone else book next time. More importantly, it doesn't fix the problem during the rental. Also, owners are hesitant to give bad renters a bad review since they often retaliate with a bad review which is very bad for a property owner.

Page 39 of 72 Page 40 of 72 Rather than focusing primarily on licensing fees as the solution, consideration should also be given to enforcement models that directly target misconduct. For example, municipalities could implement systems where guests themselves may face fines for verified violations relating to noise, illegal gatherings, fireworks, trespassing, parking infractions, or repeated nuisance behavior.

Thank you for having a public forum on STRs and giving us a chance to voice our concerns. As you heard, there are many concerns with unlicensed and unregulated STRs, and that's why I feel licensing is the way to go Thank you for having a public forum on STRs and giving us a chance to voice our concerns.

Same as any business in our area. The fee should be whatever it would be for any other business. The cost of the license is not as important as the cost of fines that would be associated with infractions.

The licensing would trigger inspections for fire safety and occupancy determination based on septic size and available parking. The licensing would trigger inspections for fire safety and occupancy determination based on septic size and available parking. Once licensed, the STRs would be allowed up to 4 legitimate complaints. The first one would be free, the second to fourth should have a sliding scale for the fines. Once the fourth complaint is reached, then the STR loses their license for at least one year.

If they continue to operate, then this is where the real enforcement and fines begin. They should be fined a minimum of $5,000 for each occurrence. We have STRs in our area that rent for more than $8,000 so the fine has to be significant enough to enforce "Good Neighbour" compliance.

All we are looking for is to have the peaceful enjoyment of our home and there are STRs in the area that have good owners who ensure that those they rent to do not affect that. We have STRs with absentee owners who care nothing for who they rent to, or what they do. So subsequently we have had terrifying encounters with drunk and drugged up renters when we try to get them to stop their behaviour. We can't be put in that position anymore. We are not enforcement officers. If this continues I do suspect that there will be a situation that arises that will have a negative outcome.

My husband Chris Granger spoke so you know our story already. Yes there are many well run STRs but unfortunately there are many more that are a nightmare. I live beside one of those. It needs to have some kind of enforcement. There has not been anyone to check on the place for weeks and it needs to be cleaned up. Last summer it got to the point that we had to stay indoors with our windows closed and the AC on to get through each day. The noise, uncontrollable crowds, terrible language and total disregard for the neighbours that live beside them is a very serious issue. I can no longer sit on my deck and enjoy my home. I am too scared to say anything because of any retaliation. This business is on several platforms with varying number of people and pet friendly. I have a 6 month old puppy and am afraid of other dogs because it is not fenced. We had many problems last year with dogs. I have an underground fence for my dog but that does not stop their dogs. This business needs to be licensed and have strict enforcement of rules. Please help us. Katherine Granger I attended the public meeting about STRs on Thursday and listened to both sides.

During the public meeting, many inquired about the number of complaints that had been registered last year. I feel that it should be clarified to council that these were bylaw complaints. That number did not reflect the number of calls to OPP, Severn Fire or to the Council members as well. In listening to the many horror stories of the residents, many were fearful to call due to retaliatory actions of the renters.

By-law enforcement does not eliminate the "bad operators". It is only through licensing and a demerit point system that we can control this properly.

The ghost hotel on our street has now changed their listing for the third time. They were originally six bedroom with 18 people occupancy. Last week I was informed by you that they were instructed to reduce it to 4 bedrooms - but they still advertised for 14 people. As of yesterday - they are now back up to 6 bedrooms and occupancy at 12 people. I am still waiting to hear back as to what occupancy their septic system is approved for.

Last week I was informed by you that they were instructed to reduce it to 4 bedrooms - but they still advertised for 14 people.

Although the Council has moved to implement the AMPS system in January of 2027, it should be noted that the rental amounts being charged, far outweigh any monetary penalty that is issued. The benefit of renting a large "hotel style" STR, still far outweighs the cost of the fine. For example, the STR on Lauderdale Point Cr is rented through the summer for 3 nights (hosts minimum requirement) mid- week for $8,189.00. You can imagine the crowd that would be required to pay for this type of stay. It should be noted that it is booked for the full summer. These operations are not "mom & pop" cottage owners that rent their premise for short periods of time or are trying to supplement the cost of owning a family cottage. These are small "boutique" hotels that are operating as businesses where the property sits primarilty empty for the "off season".

The control of density is extremely important: We are in a time, where housing is short, and the push is on to build and create more homes in our communities.

Once again, that is 7 STR's within 750 metres of our home. Imagine what this density is doing to the value of our homes, not to mention the mental health & wellfare of our community.

We are trying to find a cohesive solution that helps everyone. No one wants to settle down and plant roots in a neighbourhood that is dense with STR party houses that are geared, and promoted by Air BNB to be best suited for large groups and low regulations. By implenting density and occupancy rules in conjunction with the current by-laws, such as Ramara we can eliminate the majority of the issues. Ramara has shown its willingness to share with other municiaplities how they implemented their system. This should create a simple and seamless framework for Severn Township.

This is not an issue that will disappear (let me repeat this - it is an issue that WILL NOT disappear). With a 68.8 percent increase in supply in ONE year alone, and our neighbouring communities implementing licensing (while we do not) - what do you think our future looks like?

She doesn't have a computer to call in yesterday to give additional comments regarding the last STR meeting. She doesn't have a computer to use so she gave her comments over the phone. She expressed concerns about her subdivision's septic system, noting that some short-term rentals appear to host more than 20 guests at a time, potentially exceeding capacity limits. She has observed odours in the neighbourhood during warmer weather and is worried that absentee owners may not fully understand the system's limitations. Given the softer, reclaimed nature of the land, she believes this could place additional strain on the infrastructure. She has also observed visitors setting off firecrackers nearly every weekend. While she hopes recent discussions have reinforced applicable by-laws and regulations for short-term rental owners, she is seeking clearer guidance and consistent enforcement. She raised concerns about light pollution, describing instances where exterior lighting from nearby residences significantly illuminates her home late at night. She noted that some short-term rentals appear to contribute further to this issue with additional outdoor lighting. She reported ongoing noise concerns, including disturbances from temporary residents, children, and animals, as well as the use of loud and inappropriate language.

Given the softer, reclaimed nature of the land, she believes this could place additional strain on the infrastructure. She has also observed visitors setting off firecrackers nearly every weekend. While she hopes recent discussions have reinforced applicable by-laws and regulations for short-term rental owners, she is seeking clearer guidance and consistent enforcement. She raised concerns about light pollution, describing instances where exterior lighting from nearby residences significantly illuminates her home late at night. She noted that some short-term rentals appear to contribute further to this issue with additional outdoor lighting.

Short-Term Rentals and the Cottage Tradition Short-Term Rentals and the Cottage Tradition Short-Term Rentals and the Cottage Tradition Renting cottages has been a way of life in Ontario for generations. Families travel to lake communities each summer to enjoy the natural beauty that defines this region, and short-term rentals make that experience accessible. Many of my guests are families with relatives in the area who simply do not have enough space to host them. My property allows those family connections to happen. This is not a transactional enterprise divorced from community values; it is an extension of the hospitality that has long defined cottage country.

I want to be clear on one point: not all responsible STR owners reside on-site during rentals. The absence of an owner during a rental period is not in itself an indicator of irresponsibility. What distinguishes responsible operators is diligence in guest screening, communication with renters about community expectations, and a consistent record of complaint-free operation. I meet all of these criteria. Many other owners who spoke at the April 30 meeting do as well. I want to be clear on one point: not all responsible STR owners reside on-site during rentals.

Page 53 of 72 Because I operate an STR, I employ two cleaners from the local community, both young women, to whom I paid thousands of dollars last year alone. I would not employ these individuals if I were not renting my property. I also retain a local snow removal company and a lawn care service, again, spending that I would not otherwise make. When I am at the property personally, I clean it myself and do not use these services. Every dollar I spend on them is a direct result of my rental activity.

I would not employ these individuals if I were not renting my property. I also retain a local snow removal company and a lawn care service, again, spending that I would not otherwise make.

Beyond direct employment, I consistently recommend local restaurants and shops to my guests, who visit at a frequency and spending level that would not exist without the STR bringing them here. The positive economic impact is real, measurable, and benefits a wide range of local businesses and residents. While economic benefit is not the primary reason I operate my STR, it is a genuine community contribution that should not be dismissed.

Concerns About Misinformation at the April 30 Meeting I must respectfully flag that some information presented at the April 30 meeting was not accurate. One community member stated that Airbnb directly contacted STR owners to encourage attendance at this Council meeting. As an Airbnb host, I received no such communication, and I am not aware of any host who did. I must respectfully flag that some information presented at the April 30 meeting was not accurate.

The same individual stated that Airbnb was actively promoting the Severn area as an investment opportunity. Following the meeting, I investigated this claim. The source appears to be a third-party website with no affiliation to Airbnb. I raise this not to be adversarial, but because Council's deliberations should be grounded in accurate information.

Acknowledging Genuine Community Concerns I want to state clearly that I have genuine sympathy for the neighbours who shared their experiences at the meeting. Disruptive and unlawful behaviour by renters, including noise violations, trespassing, and property damage, is unacceptable. Every resident of this community deserves to enjoy their property in peace. The individuals and properties responsible for those harms should be held accountable.

However, my concern is that the proposed licensing framework would not resolve those issues and would instead impose a significant burden on responsible operators while doing little to address the underlying problems.

However, my concern is that the proposed licensing framework would not resolve those issues and would instead impose a significant burden on responsible operators while doing little to address the underlying problems. Why Blanket Licensing Is the Wrong Approach A licensing regime applied uniformly to all STR operators would, by definition, treat every owner identically, whether they have a long record of responsible operation or a history of bylaw violations. This is not a targeted response to the problem. It is an administrative burden distributed across the entire STR community, the majority of whom are not the source of the issues Council has heard about.

A Better Path: Targeted Bylaw Enforcement The most effective and proportionate response to the concerns raised is targeted enforcement of bylaws that already exist. Severn Township has existing tools: noise ordinances, building code regulations, trespassing provisions, and nuisance bylaws. These bylaws, if enforced proactively and with appropriate consequences for repeat offenders, would directly address the specific harms described by residents at the meeting.

I do not believe that responsible STR owners and affected neighbours are in opposition.

First, I believe it is important to recognize that the Township's own data shows that only a very small number of properties generate recurring issues. The vast majority of short- term rental operators appear to be responsible and operate without complaint. For that reason, I would strongly encourage Council to focus on targeted enforcement of existing by-laws for repeat offenders, rather than implementing broad, high-cost regulation that impacts all operators equally.

Severn currently benefits from a more balanced and flexible approach, and I would encourage Council to preserve that advantage.

With current global economic uncertainty, rising fuel costs, and increasing travel expenses, tourism is likely to face additional pressure in the near term. In this environment, introducing restrictive or costly regulations on small tourism operators could unintentionally reduce visitor activity and local economic benefit at a time when it is most needed. A measured and supportive approach will help ensure Severn remains an accessible and attractive destination. Third, I would ask Council to consider the broader economic context.

I feel that is too many for our little area and there should be a bylaw preventing too many STR's close to each other. I believe Ramara Township has such a bylaw.

Good morning Ms Gray I attended the public meeting on Thursday evening regarding short-term rentals in Severn. I didn't bother speaking as I've been very vocal about my stance regarding short term rentals for seven years now since a ghost hotel opened beside us on Lakeside Drive. You did however hear me laughing out loud when Mayor Mike Burkett said he was unaware it was such an issue. I have lost count of the amount of times I've called and emailed the township, (the bylaw officer when there's one available), the police and the fire department and gotten nowhere. There were many angry and exasperated taxpayers in the room on Thursday who deserve to be heard. I attended the public meeting on Thursday evening regarding short-term rentals in Severn.

I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business.

Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business. I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters.

They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business.

The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business. I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance.

There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business. I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows.

My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business. I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes. The bylaw officer contacted the owners several times and finally posted a notice on the side of their deck saying if they were not removed in 30 days, the Township Bylaw enforcement would attend and remove them and fine them. They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records!

They were not removed for almost 3 years and the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for Severn refused to enforce the Bylaw. So much for your "Good Neighbour Bylaws" to protect permanent residents against bad neighbours and STR renters. They also installed a large bulk gasoline tank holding 1000's of litres on the property. Severn Township bylaws prohibit bulk fuel storage on residential zoned property. Again, Severn Township refused to enforce their existing bylaws. Now back to the illegal deck, built without a permit, and built way closer to the river than the required setback from waterfront under Provincial law. The Township and Council fiddled around with this issue for about year before ordering it torn down for nonconformance. The owners appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. tithe Township spent a lot of money attending and presenting at the tribunal hearing. The Township won the hearing and the tribunal upheld the Township order to remove the deck or have it conform to the provincial set back requirement. The Township staff then proceeded to let the owners keep the illegal deck as it was illegally built, 35' or so from the water. You have the records! The bylaws were not enforced and when we again inquired about the intrusions to our privacy and the broken bylaws for lighting and bulk fuel storage, we were told the Township would no longer converse with us on any of those matters. So, the council and staff have repeatedly said at the STR meetings that the Good Neighbour Bylaws already protect the permanent residents and very few complaints are received. My point is the Good Neighbour bylaws and other bylaws from our directexperience and filed complaints have not been enforced. Please take some time and review the records on 1669 Peninsula Point Road. Complaints were and are ignored and not acted on and bylaws are not being enforced. Hence, many people like ourselves either no longer file complaints or they contact the OPP when it becomes serious. Jane Dunlop tried to take the above issues up with Township staff and she was told it was none of her business. I will start with our experiences with your Good Neighbour Bylaws and other Severn Township Bylaws that Severn Township has refused to enforce through our experiences. There should be records on hand at the Township for the following; Several years ago the owners of 1669 Peninsula Point Road, next door to us, built a large deck without a permit extending out to approximately 35' from the river and attached to the house. They then strung bright lights all around the perimeter that because of the illegal projection of the deck Shawn in our living room and dining room windows. Regular weekend parties had strangers also staring in our windows all hours of the day and night. We contacted the Township Building Inspector and the Bylaw officer to ask if there was a permit for the deck and to complain about the lights that lit up our deck and the inside of our home. There was no building permit for the deck and the bylaw officer said the Good Neighbour bylaws required lights to not shine across property lines and into neighbouring homes.

People regularly sat on our waterfront as we had sandy beach. We have endured extreme drunkenness, loud profanity until wee hours of the morning, drugs, fights, and threats. Camp fires during fire bans, trespassing and property destruction. On one occasion, drunken parties at the STR next door were cutting limbs off of our spruce tree for their camp fires.

Camp fires during fire bans, trespassing and property destruction. On one occasion, drunken parties at the STR next door were cutting limbs off of our spruce tree for their camp fires.

Across the river is Gravenhurst Township who have a licensing system for STR's. A trio of cottages next to each other and all owned by one person on Beasdale Lane have always been a problem for weekend parties.

Licensing and a three strikes policy is the answer to solving STR abuses in Severn. But you need to enforce the bylaws you have in place also. Programs without enforcement resolve nothing. We hope the Council will reconsider the merits of a licensing system and require the township staff to seriously enforce the rules and bylaws to protect the permanent residents of Severn Township.

Thank you for having a public forum on STRs and giving us a chance to voice our concerns. As you heard, there are many concerns with unlicensed and unregulated STRs, and that's why I feel licensing is the way to go Thank you for having a public forum on STRs and giving us a chance to voice our concerns.

As you heard, there are many concerns with unlicensed and unregulated STRs, and that's why I feel licensing is the way to go My thoughts as to how it would work is that in order to operate an STR, a license must be obtained. Same as any business in our area. The fee should be whatever it would be for any other business. The cost of the license is not as important as the cost of fines that would be associated with infractions.

The licensing would trigger inspections for fire safety and occupancy determination based on septic size and available parking. The licensing would trigger inspections for fire safety and occupancy determination based on septic size and available parking. Once licensed, the STRs would be allowed up to 4 legitimate complaints. The first one would be free, the second to fourth should have a sliding scale for the fines. Once the fourth complaint is reached, then the STR loses their license for at least one year.

If they continue to operate, then this is where the real enforcement and fines begin. They should be fined a minimum of $5,000 for each occurrence. We have STRs in our area that rent for more than $8,000 so the fine has to be significant enough to enforce "Good Neighbour" compliance.

Given the behaviour that has been witnessed at many (not all) the STRs in our area, there will be many fines, and that's how the program will be funded. All we are looking for is to have the peaceful enjoyment of our home and there are STRs in the area that have good owners who ensure that those they rent to do not affect that. We have STRs with absentee owners who care nothing for who they rent to, or what they do. So subsequently we have had terrifying encounters with drunk and drugged up renters when we try to get them to stop their behaviour. We can't be put in that position anymore. We are not enforcement officers. If this continues I do suspect that there will be a situation that arises that will have a negative outcome.

I am a resident of Severn and have been so for 70+ yrs. I have a short term rental at 1809 Woods Bay Rd. I live at this location. I was able to attend the recent meeting and hear most of the input from residents , some horrific and a bit sensational, but most level headed and informative. The basic facts remain that a very few sites of STR's are the cause of most of the problems. It is apparent that STR's at which owners are present/on site are not the problem. Absentee owners of STR's are the problem. Bylaws seem to have been reviewed and updated, such that they should be able to respond to most of the problems that are presenting. The fact that 3 sites have multiple complaints would indicate that thus far the administration of the bylaws have been ineffective. More officers and increased severity of the application of the existing rules may help. As such AMPS may be of benefit. There are jurisdictions that have created bylaws penalizing absentee landlords. Licensing STR's in other locations have demonstrated that costs are not covered by fees, unlicensed sites increase dramatically, a large increase in workload takes place on township resources, and the bad players still avoid consequences as they wade through the court system. Therefore, I disagree with a separate system of regulation on STR's. The appropriate solutions are in place and simply have to be administered correctly. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

More officers and increased severity of the application of the existing rules may help. As such AMPS may be of benefit. There are jurisdictions that have created bylaws penalizing absentee landlords. Licensing STR's in other locations have demonstrated that costs are not covered by fees, unlicensed sites increase dramatically, a large increase in workload takes place on township resources, and the bad players still avoid consequences as they wade through the court system. Therefore, I disagree with a separate system of regulation on STR's. The appropriate solutions are in place and simply have to be administered correctly. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

The basic facts remain that a very few sites of STR's are the cause of most of the problems. It is apparent that STR's at which owners are present/on site are not the problem. Absentee owners of STR's are the problem. Bylaws seem to have been reviewed and updated, such that they should be able to respond to most of the problems that are presenting. The fact that 3 sites have multiple complaints would indicate that thus far the administration of the bylaws have been ineffective. More officers and increased severity of the application of the existing rules may help. As such AMPS may be of benefit. There are jurisdictions that have created bylaws penalizing absentee landlords. Licensing STR's in other locations have demonstrated that costs are not covered by fees, unlicensed sites increase dramatically, a large increase in workload takes place on township resources, and the bad players still avoid consequences as they wade through the court system. Therefore, I disagree with a separate system of regulation on STR's. The appropriate solutions are in place and simply have to be administered correctly. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

The problem is the big businesses that are coming to the area. They buy large homes or plots of land specifically to build STRs. It is a big money business, they do not live there.

If we are not careful we could have streets of STRs as residential homes are sold, some times because of STR upset. One of the biggest concerns is that there is no density control.

Adjacent to Deer Island is a smaller island, separated from us by a very small water break. We had an STR on that island for years and experienced yelling at all hours, overcrowding, loud music, dangerous boating, foul language and peeing off the dock. The most dangerous issues were frequent campfires and fireworks during fire bans. As island residents, we experienced parking issues at the local marina. Renters parked cars in reserved resident spots or blocked loading areas used for boat slips. We have properties on an island - Deer Island, Gloucester Pool.

Concerns for water-access-only properties Safety - the #1 concern There is no police protection on water-access-only properties. The STR meeting participants noted that they called police. But if we have an issue, especially at night, police won't get a boat and come across to the property. Like others at the STR meeting, we don't feel safe addressing renters directly as their reactions are unpredictable. The STR owner for the property next to us was 3-4 hours away and never on site. Similar to the police, we are sure no by-law officer would venture out at night.

Like others at the STR meeting, we don't feel safe addressing renters directly as their reactions are unpredictable. The STR owner for the property next to us was 3-4 hours away and never on site. Similar to the police, we are sure no by-law officer would venture out at night.

We rely on fire pumps located around the Pool which necessitate a boat trip. Renters who disregard fire safety, light campfires and set off fireworks pose a serious risk to immediate neighbours and the surrounding area as a whole. Are renters aware of fire safety ratings? Have they purchased a fire permit? Do they know where the fire pumps are located? How to use them? There are so many issues around fire alone. All it takes is one mislaid match for our homes to be destroyed. There is no township fire protection. As a fire chief stated, we could save our foundation.

Noises from across the Pool are disturbing but we can't provide an address to the police or by-law officers. We have to depend on neighbours near the offensive situation to report.

Beds were added on the enclosed wraparound porch along with tents on the lawn. Others have seen at least 20 people. The STR owner advertised it online (not through a booking site) as a private island which led renters to think they would not be disturbed. No thought about them disturbing residents. The owner collected a damage deposit and actually told us he had no concerns as long as he got his rental money. Too bad there's no such thing as a disturbance deposit for neighbours. Thankfully, the cottage sold recently and is currently occupied by a very nice family. But we sympathize with others at the STR meeting and share their worries and concerns.

Regarding STR complaints about noise, garbage and other enforcement issues, we suggest that a system be implemented where concerned residents can call a township dedicated phone number any time of the day or night. The system could allow the residents to leave a message regarding a problem STR including the location, description, and any other information the township deems necessary (a pre- recorded announcement telling the caller what information is required may help).
