OCEAN PINES – A discussion on proposed short-term rental regulations highlighted a town hall meeting late last week.
On Saturday, property owners both for and against the association’s proposed short-term rental regulations attended a town hall meeting to share their questions and concerns.
Board Director Frank Daly told attendees last week a motion to incorporate Worcester County’s code on short-term rentals, litter and noise into the Declaration of Restrictions would be brought forth at the June meeting of the Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors.
He said the approach would be no more restrictive on owner property rights than the existing law, but would give Ocean Pines the power to enforce and fine property owners who violate the code. To change the Declaration of Restrictions, he said, property owners would vote section by section.
“Whichever way that goes determines whether the Declaration of Restrictions are changed,” he said. “That’s basically where we are at and what we are prepared to do … This is one case where all 8,452 lot owners should really have their voices heard.”
Pines in the neeeewwwws. Lest not forget the challenges in the pines and berlin too. Sorry Charlies, the island is front and center for a while….you cant take back over in the offseason.
Early TGIF! Burp!
6:13 – Please continue to keep it classy.
Seems someone that owns property should be able to do as they wish. How will the owner know if a short term renter is going to be bad news? I guess they should deny people from renting their property and then have to pay legal fees because it was racists.
uuuummmmm…….no
You don’t get it, because you obviously don’t live here. For the most part OP is clean and quiet. This kind of stuff causes all sorts of problems, and the whole AirB&B thing to make a few bucks IS an issue. People come to OC and just loose their minds acting as if the rule of law (and common decency) goes out the window. W don’t want that here in OP.
