Look at these Town Board Restrictions: A permanent agreement about no Airbnb’s on a private property? OUTRAGEOUS!
And so what are the repercussions should they rent out the home? Jail time like the Anti STR law?

And why the use of term "airbnb"? So are they saying the HARRIS house can never be “rented”? Or does it just mean a broker can rent it? Or no renting at all? 
———
The steps to limit large houses exists in the code, but the Town Board doesn’t stick to the 6,000 square foot limit?

Town Attorney Bob DeStefano Jr. outlined a number of restrictions that would be included in the final resolution for a special permit if the board approves it. Among them are:
• A permanent merging of the two lots.
• A permanent agreement that the property could never be used as an airbnb.
• An agreement not to water planned tennis courts.
• A 5-gallon per minute pumping capability instead of 20 gallons from the well to avoid salt water intrusion in their water or neighbors’ water.
• Installation of a cistern to limit water that would come directly from the aquifer.
• Installation of a meter to track water use.
• Location of the Harris well that is a sufficient distance from the Karpeh well.

A vote is expected on a resolution at the Oct. 11 Town Board meeting.

Shelter Island's Town Board has LOST ITS MIND! Time for Gym Colligan and Paul Shepherd to GO! Send them packing and tell them to keep their paws off our property rights! You have the right to rent your home!
