One, on West Street, is a real hostel, with fire alarms, wide hallways and stairways, emergemgy lighting, fire doors, sprinkler system, etc. The other two, both on Main St, are old wood framed houses turned into "guest houses" Both should be shut down, before there's a fire and a bunch of young people end up dead, just because the owners of the places want to rake in some cash. It remains a mystery to me how either one of these dumps can be issued a license to operate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058014606755196991.post-22401127608466801822016-10-17T12:42:05.490-07:002016-10-17T12:42:05.490-07:00Meeting on various items, Including short term re...Meeting on various items, Including short term rentals Regulations, Home occupations, alternative energy installations and tiny houses.<br /><br />All of you get out and say something.... you can't okay a RV camp ground at the crab apple property if it isn't in the OCP, neighbors don't want it and they have no made any effort to make it legal.

When the "Live to Surf...No, not simple at all. When the "Live to Surf" complex was first established, council of the time slammed the door on any further development along that stretch of highway, forbidding any further commercial development. Now, if one of those properties should be granted commercial zoning, then every property along the highway would be entitiled to the same...... and we could eventually see a "golden mile" of businesses along the highway, from Jamies right into town. The mystery, to me, is how a building permit for the "eco-lodge" was ever issued in the first place. The property isn't zoned for that type of operation.<br />But, I suppose, if that "so-called hostel" on Main street can operate, and an illegal campground can do the same, then all we need to know is that the "rules" apply to all, sort of, kinda, sometimes. Like Mark Twain said, "Some are more equal than others".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058014606755196991.post-237576177992197122016-10-13T22:21:17.924-07:002016-10-13T22:21:17.924-07:00A simple rezoning ?
