WYOMING STATE OF WYOMING COU NTY OF ALBANY THIS INSTRU MENT FILED FOR RECORD & DULY ENDORSED 2019 AUG 29 AH Jl: 07
t NO/OR RECORDED JACKIE R. GONZALES August 26, 2019 ALBANY COUNTY CLERK
Albany County Board of Commissioners Albany County Courthouse 525 East Grand Avenue Laramie, WY 82070
Commissioners:
As a homeowner in the North Fork Subdivisions near Centennial, I am concerned about the deterioration of my neighborhood due to the proliferation of commercial short-term lodging enterprises (VRBO/ Air B&B). These short-term rentals are not occupied by the owners when rented (many live out of state), they are advertised via various commercial websites for monetary gain, and the State of Wyoming requires them to pay sales and lodging tax. These are lodging businesses. These businesses have disrupted my community with trespassers, increased threats to our safety and excess use of our privately maintained roads.
Since my community is zoned Rural Residential, I filed a Nuisance Complaint with the county planning office. I received a response that there are "no regulations in place that affect short-term rentals". I disagree. The zoning resolution states (paraphrased) in Chapter 4, Section 2, Paragraph D, that if a use isn't listed in the land use table, the Planning Director shall determine if a use is allowed, conditional, or prohibited based on whether the use is similar or compatible to another use in the zone and that it falls within the intent of the zoning regulations. land Use Table 4.11ists 11 uses that are allowed in a RR Zoning Classification. None are lodging or similar activities. The Table lists 27 uses that require Conditional Use Permits. One is lodging related - Bed and Breakfast. There are two prohibited uses that are lodging related- Hotel/Motel and Campground/RV Park. Obviously, neither of the latter apply to the short-term rental situation, although at t imes campground/RV park seems applicable when the lodgers arrive in several motorhomes with trailers loaded and park them willy-nilly on the property and build roaring campfires at night. I submit that the Bed and Breakfast use that requires a Conditional Use Permit is a similar use to what is occurring, and in actual fact, the property owners are operating a self-catering bed and breakfast.
An additional concern is the occupancy numbers in these lodging rentals. One advertises a 2-bedroom that sleeps 8, another a 2-bedroom that sleeps 10. Are the proprietors providing adequate ~~f~ty measures? Are there fire extinguishers and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors? Some rentals are two story. Are there escape routes in case of fire? We have a well-trained and well-equipped fire department in Centennial, but it's a volunteer department. Response times are slower than in a city. There is the potential for a tragedy unless proper fire prevention and safety measures are in place.
The County Commissioners must address this issue. It is and will continue to be a county wide problem, as it is in other locales, unless the Commission acts to properly enforce and/or amend the zoning resolution and protect Albany County residents from these short-term rental intrusions.
A reply is requested.
Respectfully submitted from concerned homeowner,
Theresa Hackett P.O. Box233 166 North Fork Road Centennial, WY 82055 .,.

GONZALES [email protected] ALBANY COUNTY CLERK August 29, 2019 To: Albany County Commissioners- Terri Jones, Heber Richardson & Pete Gosar From: Ramsey Bentley, Wyoming Professional Geologist# 1264 In reviewing the "Tumbleweed" Site Specific Investigation prepared by Weston Engineering, and the subsequent review of that document by WWC Engineering, I have serious concerns. WWC Engineering states in no uncertain terms that the use of the SO-year old fuel storage tanks did not concur with Weston Engineering's opinion of "low potential risk" to the Casper Aquifer. I agree with the WWC statement. Fifty-year old underground storage tanks, which have failed cathodic protection testing on several occasions (in 2000 and 2017) are not suitable for continued use anywhere, let alone in the Aquifer Protection Overlay Zone (APOZ). New double-walled tanks with continuous leak detection equipment should be a minimum standard to be achieved at this site. Above ground tanks would be another option. Wyoming DEQ, in its Storage Tank Program is a case in point of what it has cost the public to remediate leaking tanks throughout the state for at least the past 30 years. Now that the fuel storage tanks are in use and concreted over, if tank replacement does not seem to be an option, there should be some sort of monitoring program initiated. This is the responsible thing for the City of laramie, Albany County, and the DEQ to install or require the installation of. This would most likely involve the installation of monitor wells around the tanks. The fact that wells were not drilled to check for indications of past leakage during the Site Specific Investigation was a serious omission in that assessment.

GONZALES Centennial, WY 82055 ALBANY COUNTY CLERK September 4, 2019 Albany County Wyoming Commissioners 525 East Grand Avenue Laramie, WY 82070 Dear Commissioners Jones (Chairman), Richardson, and Gosar: We are worried about the County's failure to enforce Albany County zoning rules. Our property is in the North Fork subdivision which is zoned "Rural Residential." Such a designation prohibits land from being used for commercial gain, but next door sits a small structure that has been advertised on VRBO and Air B&B as a lovely moose-watching site for overnight stay. The traffic, numbers of people, and trash have multiplied immensely, not to mention the noise from rowdy late-night parties. This is a single example. Our subdivision has become inundated with short-term rentals. Absentee owners find that renting their property is too lucrative to pass, regardless of their neighbors' discomfort. As full-time residents, we've been advised that the Albany County Commission is our hope for redress. Please take up this issue.
