10.23.18 Special Planning Commission Meeting
This meeting was for the short term rental that has received many complaints as well as getting three strikes after receiving their permit in August.
City Code Enforcer Chris Tremea did an awesome job documenting to the short term rental's representation as well as the planning commission the ongoing problems and complaints this rental unit has consistently had. He made it very clear he wanted this business to succeed, but it was clear the owner was not showing any results and at times was downright deceitful. Sergeant Pope was also there and documented all the visits the Davis County Sheriff's has made to this property, the most notable being on October 12th where 10 officers and a canine were called to the property and 21 citations were issued, many for underage drinking. There was public comment documenting more concerns and another short term rental owner who is playing by the rules and hope this one property won't be generalized to all short term rentals.
A motion was made to revoke the license for this short term property and carried. What this means is if the property owner continues to rent it out it will fall under civil dispute. Staff was also directed to contact the websites the property is listed on and inform those companies that this property license has been revoked and no further rentals should take place.
There were about 30 people who came tonight and I am very happy to see the residents supporting each other. Chris Tremea and Sargent Pope both expressed their thanks to the community for their patience and their continual involvement. Commissioner Wes Johnson and Tim Grubb thanked those who came to the meeting last night, Rob Osborne thanked the citizens who came out to support his meeting tonight. It has been a nightmare for those neighboring residents. Thank you to the Planning Commission for all their work and time!
