Selectboard declines to reinstate late short-term rental registrations, citing ordinance deadlines
Summary
Ben Sargent asked the board to reinstate two short-term rental registrations after payment was received but applications were not filed on time; the Selectboard, relying on the STR administrator and town attorney, declined to issue registrations in order to avoid setting a precedent for the program.
Ben Sargent requested reconsideration and approval for two short-term rental (STR) structures on his property after payment was submitted but renewal paperwork was not filed by the deadline.
Andy Dahlstrom, the STR Administrator, said he processed what he received and confirmed the applications for the two units were not timely. The Town Attorney advised that the ordinance requires adherence to application deadlines. The Selectboard concurred with the administrator and attorney that issuing registrations after a widely publicized deadline would set an inappropriate precedent for the new program.
