Not in My Neighborhood

Being a member of the Take Back Marco PAC, I heard many comments for and against our Referendum that is on the Primary Ballot for August 23, 2022. There are two Councilors, Grifoni and Irwin, who voted NOT to put the Referendum on the Ballot. 

And there are two Councilors who voted to put the referendum on the ballot only because the referendum met the requirements to be on the ballot. But publicly, Councilor Brechnitz stated at Citizens for a Better Marco meeting that he is voting no on his ballot. I guess his position is that daily and weekly rentals (Short Term Rental) less than 30 Days are okay in the RFS1 – RFS4 zoned districts. Instead of him enforcing the Land Development code (Sept 2001) which does not mention it as an allowable use.

Research of Hideaway Beach Rental Rules states “Member/owner may lease their property not more than once in a twelve (12) months period, and for a period of not less than (30) days.” “The Lessee is required to provide the necessary information to the General Manager for Hideaway Beach Association to obtain a credit and criminal background report as part of the application process and sign a form authorizing Hideaway Beach Association to conduct same at the Association’s discretion.”

“Each home or condominium unit (single family residence) is allowed a maximum of two adults and their dependent children.”

Councilman Folley’s Cape Marco’s Veracruz Policy – condominium - the residence maybe rented for a period of a minimum of 90 consecutive days one time per year.
