To whom it may concern with the City of Carmel,
I am writing to express my full support for my neighbor, Christine Smith, as she seeks approval to use her
home, at 10791 Belair Drive, as a short-term rental property within our community. I believe that allowing
responsible, short-term rentals can bring positive benefits to our neighborhood, helping to support local
families, foster entrepreneurship, and enhance the local economy.
In today's world, short-term rentals offer a flexible solution for families looking for an affordable and
comfortable place to stay while visiting friends, family, or other local attractions. By opening their home
to guests, Christine can help these families enjoy our wonderful community, supporting our local
businesses, and contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.
Short-term rentals also encourage entrepreneurship, enabling homeowners like Christine to create a
source of income and take ownership of a business venture. This fosters community pride and gives
residents the opportunity to share our beautiful neighborhoods with others while respecting community
rules and expectations.
Furthermore, short-term rentals can positively impact our local economy by attracting tourists and
visitors. Guests staying in our neighborhood will contribute to local businesses, including restaurants,
shops, and attractions, ultimately driving economic growth. By supporting short-term rentals, we
encourage increased spending and create opportunities for our area to thrive.
I am confident that Christine will manage her rental with professionalism, ensuring that her guests are
respectful of community values. Allowing her this opportunity not only supports a fellow resident but
also strengthens our community as a whole.
Thank you for your consideration of this letter of support.
Sincerely,
Kristin McWhirt
