Subject: Short term rental
Good afternoon,
I am writing in concern to the short term rental, application ID number is PZ-2024-00142 SE
in Lexington Farms. Due to the age of my children and our work schedules I will not be able
to attend.
I wanted to say that the neighbor two houses down from us had their house as an Airbnb
for 4 months until Carmel found out and requested they take it down. During this time they
had parties there every weekend, people playing loud music until past midnight, smoking
weed outside and using inappropriate language and inappropriate stories. We felt
uncomfortable going outside with our kids (at the time ages 1 and 3). Lexington Farms is a
quiet, family friendly neighborhood and I feel that it changes the whole dynamic when
short-term rentals are allowed. I hope it stays this way, as I do enjoy feeling save playing
outside with my kids, going on walks, and knowing our neighbors.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my thoughts.
Thank you,
Elsa
