Yates shouldn’t push to regulate short-term rentals
Editor:
I would like to give a heads up to the Airbnb owners and people who rent out their cottages and homes part time in the Town of Yates. I was at our town workshop with Steven Colon on June 5 and our Town Supervisor is head strong on regulating what has been a cultural norm for the last 30 years in our town.
They will be taking from Clarendon’s town law (click here) and the draconian Kendall town law (click here) to put something together against the owners in our town.
To be fair there will be a press release on the Hub about this. They are also proposing a Town Hall meeting so residents can come and ask questions before they propose a public hearing. Pay attention to the dates.
I urge this to be attended so you can become informed because if this proposal moves forward it will be very hard to repeal. Neither I or Steven Colon (candidates for Town Board) support this in any way shape or form as we believe in a free prosperous Lyndonville.
Thank you.
Paul Lauricella
