GARDEN CITY, Utah. August 9, 2018.  There were 14 new short-term rentals that needed licenses.  The Garden City Council members began discussing the paperwork that had been submitted.  The first short-term rental is owned by Ron and Alan Arthur.  The home is located at 956 S Balsamorhiza Road.  Bear Lake Cabin Rentals is the contact company.  The paperwork was complete, and the motion made and passed to grant this short-term rental a license.

The second home is located at 581 S Cedar Drive and owned by Farmhouse LLC.  Bear Lake Cabins Rentals is the contact company.  It was noted that there are only five parking spots but according to the occupancy listed, there needs to be six parking places.  The motion was made to grant the license when the required parking requirement is met.

Benjamin Jackson owns a condo at 942 N Newburg Drive, Unit #2.  The contact company is Bear Lake Condo Rentals, LLC.  This condo meets the required parking spots.  It was noted that the paperwork did not include the scaled footage for the condo. The Council made a motion to grant the license as soon as Jackson gets a drawing giving the condo footage.

There was a long discussion concerning several condos at Newburg Drive.  It was noted that each of these condos have two parking spaces.  There are some overflow parking spots in a shared parking lot.  However, there is no guarantee that there are enough spots for each of these condos to have the required parking because there are not enough parking spots in the overflow parking area.  The Council members felt that these units must have specific parking in the overflow area that would guarantee that they have enough parking for the number of people they want to accommodate in their various units. 

The condos cannot guarantee the required parking and are listed as follows:  Cameron Workman, 918 #3 Newburg Road, with Bear Lake Rental Properties as the contact company.  Greg Callister, 888 #4 Newburg Drive, with Bear Lake Lodging as the contact company.  Jeffrey Williams, 888 #3 Newburg Road, with Bear Lake Lodging as the contact company.  Larry & Maurine Teeples, 941 N Newberg Dr. #4.  They need to draw out a map of their condo.  In addition, the paperwork for these condos requires drawings of where their parking spots are located and were not included in their applications.  Mayor Mike Leonhardt said he would take time to talk with the contact companies and those individuals who would like to get a license to make sure the parking will be enough or ask that the number of occupants be reduced to eight or less individuals who could rent these short-term rentals.

David McKosk owns a unit at #110 Inn Building and is using Bear Lake Lodging as the contact company.  There are no problems with parking but there is no drawing showing where the parking spots are located.  The motion was made and approved that the license be given when the drawing is submitted.

David and Patricia Ellis own a home at 862 Boosway Circle.  Bear Lake Rental Properties is the contact company.  The paperwork is lacking a map showing the parking.  The motion was made and passed with the requirement that a map be submitted.

Playa Oso, LLC owns a home at 617 Amber Lane, Specto Investment Holdings,  Bear Lake Luxury Rentals are their Garden City contact.  There was no drawing of the proposed parking spaces.  The motion was made and passed that the license could be granted as soon as the drawing was submitted to the City.

Jessica Grant owns a home at 275 Snowmeadows Drive.  Specto Investment Holdings, Bear Lake Luxury Rentals is being used for their contact.  The parking of six spots is good.  The motion was made and passed to allow a short-term rental license at this location.

Richard and Laurel Ostberg have a home at 698 Coyote Tracks Circle.  Specto Invest Holdings, Bear Lake Luxury Rentals is their contact company.   The ten parking stalls on the property was appropriate.  The motion was made and passed to allow the Ostbergs to get a short-term rental license.

Ron and Sheri Win own a home at 735 Blackberry Drive.  Specto Investment Holdings, Bear Lake Luxury Rentals is their contact company.  Apparently, David Baird is the individual contact person for this short-term rental.  The City noted that they will need his telephone number so that they can contact him if there are problems.  The City Council Members stated that it appeared that they had eight parking stalls.  However, the Council asked that the Wins let the City know the number of parking stalls that they need.  The motion was made and passed to approve their obtaining a license for this short-term rental when the parking is understood by the City.

Greg and Tammy Law have a home at 981 S. Boosway Circle.  Currently they have not determined a contact person.   The motion was made and passed granting these individuals a short-term rental license when they give City the name of the contact person or company.
