Dear members of the Committee on Planning,
Regarding the second draft of Bill 108 going in front of the Committee on Planning on
Tuesday. As our elected public officials I urge the county committee to do the following:
-Support Bill 108's exemption for people sharing their primary residence;
-Oppose ban of new rentals in Ag and residential areas, and instead create a path to legalize
new rentals in these areas;
- Support Bill 108's "grandfathering" of existing rentals as proposed, but simplify the permit
process to encourage compliance;
- Specify how much the Non -Conforming Use Certificate (NUC) to do home sharing will cost
residents in Residential and Ag zones;
- Allow those seeking NUCs to apply within 180 days rather than require them to obtain the
permit within that time frame;
- Reduce the $500.00 renewal fee for NUCs and change the renewal process to a bi-annual
requirement, rather than an annual one, in order to encourage compliance.
Regards,
Christopher Lawinski
