Board considers boat safety, parking and owner notification in STR rules
Summary
Lewisboro board discussed requiring STR applicants to disclose motorized boats, notify renters about boating licensing, and restrict off‑street parking to limit noise and enforcement problems.
Members raised lake‑specific concerns tied to STRs. S5 noted state boating requirements and recommended the permit application ask whether an owner has a motorized boat so renters can be informed: “I think it is a good idea that the the permit would actually ask if they owned a motorized boat.”
The board also discussed limiting off‑street parking, requiring owners to notify renters of legal limitations (boating certifications, noise rules) and the practical enforcement challenges for private‑watercraft operation. Members agreed these items should be included in the informational packet tied to the permit rather than relying solely on complaint‑driven enforcement.
