With regards to timeshares and multi-unit commercial properties it was noted that Mash pee . p p p Commons rents 2 to 3 units on a short terra.basis. The majority of units are long term rental Units. Seamist, South.Cape Resort and Cape Holiday Estates have multiple rental units that are inspected twice per year. The units are essentially the same. As a result of the cookie-cutter layout,a i i minimum of three commercial units are typically inspected n the same manner as motels. A penalty of 300 per day is issued if a commercial rental property is not registered as a short terra. rental. *It was agreed the penalty clause should be listed in the Fee Category. It was recommended that all multi-unit rental properties should be inspected equally over the course of three years to ensure all units are in compliance to protect those who rent to ensure standard. measures.

The Board of Selectmen was receptive to the rotation of inspection for safety and compliance as recommended. It was also agreed the $300 cap be removed and that a fee per unit be instituted for timeshares ,anal.multi-unit commercial properties.
