Lake Tulloch Vacation Rentals yet Again on agenda

   We noticed that buried deep toward the end of the day on the 4-23-14 Calaveras Supervisors agenda was the Lake Tulloch item again, to amend Title 20 to force vaction rental owners on Lake Tulloch only to  get special licenses and permits with inspections and high fees.

   This keeps coming back like a bad penny.  The whole thing is so badly written and we don't feel will hold up in court anyway.

   But they are determined to help their friend Jack Cox, the lobbyist who has been pushing for this issue. And yes, it passed...again!!

Oh pullleeezzzeee! You haven’t read the revised ordinance, have you? No inspections. The homeowner presents the rental’s floor plan. Fees have been cut in half. The rest is basic common sense and neighborhood courtesy. Granted these are social skills which are lacking in some of these landlord’s gene pool. Hence the need for this ordinance.
Now I could be wrong and I’m gonna take a wild guess here, but I’m sure you’d want to spend a week with your family in a structure compliant with fire, building, and health codes. Does your landlord guarantee that in their contract?
And IF you have read this revised ordinance, please tell us what’s badly written? And if you take it to court. And get this ordinance revoked, why would you want to fall back on existing law which prohibits these illegal rentals all together?
Well, I know folks like you don’t understand. You can’t. You don’t live in my home. Across the street from the lake. With two illegal rentals on this street who are on the lake. I have size 13 shoes. You’re welcome to the lake and walk in them for 13 years. Other than that, stick to what ya’ll understand!
And, no, I’m not Jack. And I’ve been accused of not knowing Jack. But that’s a whole ‘nother story!..lol!

It seems that the gene pool in the complainers is where courtesy is lacking. They are the ones making threats, wanting their neighbors regulated, but not being up to code themselves. The trouble hasn't even begun to stir up out here.

Careful what u ask 4. I have a feeling code compliance will be very busy in copper soon

Code Compliance? Overworked and understaffed. With a new ordinance, they'll probably be on it like a bee to a flower. Timeliness and supervisor influence will tell the story.

Let's see where do I start... ok…number 1.."They are the ones making threats, wanting their neighbors regulated, but not being up to code themselves."...so, I'm making threats by asking renters and landlords to follow the law and be responsible neighbors??...in another words, you are promoting slackers renting fire traps to adults and children?...enough said!…lol!!..NEXT!...number 2.."Hey lol, how did you know the details? the board packets haven't yet been distributed. A close lol friend of the Cox's, apparently.".. not a close friend, just another full time resident home owner tired of slackers who rent their homes and to those who abuse their rental privilege....NEXT!...number 3.."Code Compliance? Overworked and understaffed. With a new ordinance, they'll probably be on it like a bee to a flower. Timeliness and supervisor influence will tell the story."...the fees paid by the landlords will cover expenses in enforcement. Again, have you read the ordinance? So, tell me…I saw where the Sentinel ran a photo of a dilapidated structure falling apart on a tax payers property in Callaway’s district. You called them out on this! So please explain? What is the difference? It’s their land and if they want their structure to fall apart, who are you to blow the whistle?... NEXT!...

Let's see? Did you not see the Grand Jury report discussing Code Compliance? Yes, I read the ordinance. Yes, I sat through all the hearings. How about you? How long have you paid attention to Calaveras County's way of doing things? How much attention have you given? If the short term rental on the lake is regulated, what's wrong with regulating all short term rentals, even in Arnold? Why do you want to discriminate? NEXT? Should you want to move, I have water front property, I'll sell you and you won't have to put up with short term renters.

Hmmmm...Sounds like an expert in the way Calaveras County does things...sounds like you've been on the losing side of a few battles with the County....anyway...I have no problem regulating the whole county. As was said above,"...And if you take it to court. And get this ordinance revoked, why would you want to fall back on existing law which prohibits these illegal rentals all together?.."
And, no thank you for the lake front property...If needed, I deal with only respectable and responsible local agents in Copperopolis...

Hey Hmmmm, I didn't say lake front property. I said water front property. There is a difference. Are you spellman or just play acting?
