Survey on Short Term Rentals <br /> be permanent residences for retirees, or second homes, etc. He cleared foundation for <br /> Accolade property rental apartments on 903. 1 realize I may be misunderstanding"short term <br /> rental"but that sounds like a year lease or less to me. Otherwise I assume you'd be using <br /> 'Vacation Rental"?The only qualm I have is how much trash short term renters can sometimes <br /> bring to the area, attracting bear&other wildlife, by not disposing of properly. (Mostly Ronald <br /> area.)This issue though has definitely more to do with campers &lake day use. <br /> 23 1 am very concerned about the stress out on our infrastructure like our water systems and the 2/23/2025 6:46 PM <br /> drain of our resources. I have lived in upper county since 1991 and ironically make my living <br /> cleaning vacation rentals. It is absolutely shocking the amount of water used maintaining these <br /> rentals and the volume of garbage left behind for us to deal with is hard to comprehend. <br /> 24 Please consider moratorium on short term rentals much the way Leavenworth has done. The 2/23/2025 5:40 PM <br /> Cie Elum area is out of control as evidenced by the litter, noise,traffic and congestion which <br /> have destroyed the serenity of this mountain town. Cie Elum is Yellowstone thanks to feckless <br /> planning. <br /> 25 You get rid of rentals in Kittitas county your gonna be filing more than bankruptcy. 2/23/2025 5:26 PM <br /> 26 This may be a Cie Elum issue: this is not an Ellensburg issue. Stay in your lane: 2/22/2025 1:51 PM <br /> 27 1 support short term rentals overall and do believe there is a positive benefit to having*some* 2/22/2025 12:31 PM <br /> short term rentals in the county.AND I do feel strongly that there should be limits, and <br /> measures in place to ensure housing access and affordability for the county residents and <br /> ensure positive contributions to the community. Thanks for this consideration. <br /> 28 It must be regulated and taxed. Right now it's a free for all benefiting only the owner and the 2/20/2025 3:27 PM <br /> occupant. <br /> 29 1 do not support short term rentals within our community. 2/20/2025 9:08 AM <br /> 30 1 don't find this survey to be user friendly. That explains unanswered questions. 2/20/2025 7:19 AM <br /> 31 Fire danger and knowledge is real, and majority of population coming in to rent comes from 2/19/2025 9:26 PM <br /> more urbanized areas not prone to the same climate(summer fire bans)or considerations (how <br /> to properly put a fire out)that folks on this side of the mountains have. <br /> 32 We need serious restrictions and fire code limits for the number of people that can be at a 2/19/2025 12:10 PM <br /> short term rental.We need a way to be able to cut down on partying and noise after the hours <br /> of 1opm. <br /> 33 No. I strongly believe regulation is NOT needed as i have never once heard or a problem nor 2/19/2025 6:06 AM <br /> want taxes and excess government <br /> 34 1 do believe over regulating short term rentals in the area could have a serious negative impact 2/18/2025 9:58 PM <br /> on the overall economy. It has the potential to bankrupt many businesses in the area. <br /> 35 Limit them, let's bring back our community and not me the Westsides playground for the eich 2/18/2025 9:01 PM <br /> 36 More police presence when complaints start up. NO JUST HAND SLAPPING 2/18/2025 8:15 PM <br /> 37 No 2/18/2025 8:01 PM <br /> 38 1 believe as long as the owners and their guests are following the laws and stimulating the local 2/18/2025 6:40 PM <br /> economy they shouldn't be subjected to additional fees or restrictions on how they can use <br /> their own property. <br /> 39 Short term rentals can drive home owners to keep up the maintenance and appearance of their 2/18/2025 6:30 PM <br /> properties. <br /> 40 STR's benefit Upper County especially, provide many jobs and greatly supports all the shops& 2/18/2025 5:15 PM <br /> restaurants. STR's are a great thing for our community! <br /> 41 Short term rentals are good for the economy,they bring an abundance of people into the town 2/18/2025 5:05 PM <br /> with spending money for local businesses, as well as creating valuable opportunities for all <br /> social levels to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Regulating would limit outside investors and would <br /> reduce propery values. <br /> 42 As a real estate professional, I believe that restricting short term rentals would not add more 2/18/2025 3:35 PM <br /> homes to long term rental inventory. Buyers of these homes are using them as second homes, <br /> and offsetting the cost with short term rental income. It doesn't make sense for them to rent <br /> 71/96 <br />
