While I appreciate the efforts to establish and refine regulations for TARs, I must express my deep concern over the unbalanced approach to creating new restrictions of property use with little emphasis on enforcement of the existing laws. As we engage in discussions about the implementation of additional regulations, I feel compelled to highlight the pressing issue of enforcement. It is disheartening to witness the efforts of legitimate licensed TAR operators who pay a considerable sum in fees to the County while striving to comply with existing regulations,while unlicensed operators continue to operate with impunity. The proposed regulations seem to target law-abiding operators, creating an imbalanced approach to the issue at hand. I urge you to consider allocating more resources to the fundamental issue of enforcement before implementing further regulations. Strengthening the enforcement mechanisms will not only level the playing field for licensed operators but may indeed increase housing supply by pushing unlicensed TAR operators out of business. Which, as I understand it, is the ultimate goal of these efforts. In conclusion, I`appreciate your commitment to addressing the challenges within the TAR industry. However, I strongly believe that a more comprehensive and balanced approach, which includes robust enforcement measures, is necessary to protect the interests of law-abiding operators and sustain a healthy and vibrant community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Respectfully, Sunita Przewlocki Comm. No. S• Ref. To: 1 Ref.
