This will have no impact on the tax rate. <br /> Article#11 (Short-term Rental) - Darlene <br /> FinCom Explanation: This article amends the General Bylaws for Rental Property. With the <br /> implementation of the Short-Term Rental registration and inspection program, it is anticipated <br /> that the Health Department could process more than 900 license and registration renewals yearly. <br /> To manage this workflow efficiently, the Department recommends staggering the dates. The <br /> Short-Term Rental Certificates would expire March 31 and the on-line renewals would begin <br /> February 1 of each year. They also request some latitude with issuing Temporary Rental <br /> Certificates if it becomes difficult to do so prior to the begimung of the rental season.

This language <br /> duplicates language in the Town of Falmouth's By-Laws regarding the prohibition of these crafts <br /> on Ashumet Pond, which is bordered by both towns. This will not only bring Mashpee's By- <br /> Laws in alignment with Falmouth's on this matter, but will also improve both towns' and the <br /> State's ability to enforce the ban. This will have no impact on the tax rate. <br /> Article 13 (Amendment to Section 174-24. B) - Pat <br /> FinCom Explanation: This article adds a new subsection which sets forth updated pre- <br /> construction steps and criteria for site plan review for stormwater compliance.
