HomeMy WebLinkAboutPacket for HO 02-24-20 Docket No. 20010008 Variance request under UDO 2.07 For 58 Wilson Drive Tax Parcel ID 16-09-25-04-06-016.000 Proposal For Short Term Rental at 58 Wilson Drive It is my desire to continue to offer 58 Wilson Drive to the short-term rental market on occasion. In March of 2019 the City of Carmel granted me a variance to host short term rentals. It has been a very positive overall experience for us, my neighbors, and guests with no negative issues arising. I have learned that there are a diverse set of needs that draw guests to my home. For example, it has been rewarding to provide a place for those with special needs. Neighbors have found it helpful. When their extended family visit and they run out of bedrooms,they give me a call. Guests have been completely respectful of my house rules. Our neighbors have never been disturbed. I always closely monitor my home when we have guests with regular communications and outdoor cameras. I also make myself available to fix any immediate issue that could arise at the house. I have been able to make improvements to the home and the yard with the revenues which further pleases the neighborhood. I would like to continue to share my home at 58 Wilson in the same manner of mutual and mindful respect.
