CMB Commission Land Use + Development Committee will meet Tomorrow, Wed, Feb 23rd, 4pm

Enforcement of Short Term Rental Ordinance

On February 23rd, at 4pm, at City Hall, City Manager’s Conference Room, the City Commission Land Use and Development Committee will discuss the enforcement of the short-term rentals laws passed unanimously by the Commission.
 
Short-term rentals in residential areas are a matter of great concern to us, and we imagine to you as well. Members of the Commission have received a significant number of contacts urging better enforcement of the laws passed in 2009 and 2010, banning rentals of less than six months in single family areas and in the residential sections of the low-density residential Flamingo Park neighborhood.
 
We have taken the position that the ordinance should be enforced pro-actively in our neighborhood. We would very much appreciate your representation at this meeting, both for our benefit and for yours. Jeff and Eric are leading our efforts on this matter and merit our support.

The Committee is will also consider the Alton Road Historic Buffer Overlay District and the related Parking District Ordinance.

This matter has been carefully studied by FPNA with leadership on the issue from Marc Needle. It remains very, very important to maintain support for our position on these matters.

AGENDA


We have added to the agenda a brief presentation by Parks and Recreation Director, Kevin Smith, of the current plan to use the grant funds for improvements to the tot-lot playground, add a specialty boulder climbing installation, resurface the basketball courts and replace the chain link perimeter fencing around the tot-lot with 4’ picket fencing to match recently installed much improved fencing elsewhere in the park.

3. Flamingo Park – Tot-lot / Playground Improvements -- Kevin Smith, Director

As an alternative to the skate park program we are planning to make improvements to the tot-lot/playground and resurface the 2 basketball courts. The playground improvements include the installation of playground climbing boulders (please see the attached photo entitled ;adventruescape), safety surface (fiber mulch as is currently being used in the park and is shown in the photo), replace the existing chain link fence surrounding the playground with a 4’ aluminum picket fence to match the park’s exterior aluminum fence and resurface the 2 basketball courts. Per the requirement of the FRDAP grant, these improvements will be completed on or before April 30, 2011.
