(Arnolds Park)– The lack of control cities in Iowa have over short term vacation rental properties was a topic of discussion at Wednesday evening’s Arnolds Park City Council meeting. A resident who lives next to a vacation rental aired her concerns with city leaders. In addition to noise, pollution and other concerns, she says vacation rentals are also having a negative impact on the remaining resorts in the Iowa Great Lakes…
She added she has another concern as well…
Mayor Jim Hussong lamented with the concerns saying such an operation is in his neighborhood as well. Unfortunately, he says there’s little the city can do about as the result of action taken several years ago by the Iowa Legislature…
Hussong and several council members urge those with concerns over vacation rentals to contact state lawmakers.
