This home is proposed to be a Short-Term Rental.  \nThe specifics of the operation of the Short-Term Rental are as follows:  \n1) There are 3 bedrooms in the home  \n2) The total occupancy of this home is 6 guests (2 in each bedroom)  \n3) The home is 1032 sq’  \n4) The home has space for 3 vehicles, not including street parking  \n5) We will contract with Ted’s for weekly trash removal  \n6) We have provided the items listed in 14-420-05-A  \na) A map identifying escape routes shall be posted in each guest room  \nb) Carbon Monoxide detection as required by code  \nc) Child-proofed electrical outlets  \nd) Emergency contact information for the owner or manager shall be provided to each guest and posted in each guest room  \ne) Fire extinguishers as required by code  \nf) Smoke detectors as required by code  \n7) We will utilize [AirBNB.com](AirBNB.com) to market our Short-Term Rental  \n8) We have several years of experience hosting visitors in the Short-Term Rental space. With that experience, we have developed systems to significantly reduce the number of issues in the home and to our neighbors. Those systems are broken down into 3 categories:  \na) Prevention: screen potential guests before the have the chance to reserve the home  \ni) We do not allow gatherings or parties in the home  \nii) We do not host guests from the greater Kansas City area without understanding why they want to reserve a home near where they live  \n(1) Guests that are from the greater Kansas City area are required to provide the first and last name to every adult that will be in the home so we can do our due diligence (Casenet, social media platforms, etc.)  \niii) We do not allow guests with less than a 5-Star rating to reserve the home without understanding why they have this rating  \n(1) This could be due to the person being new to the platform (no reviews)  \n(2) This could also be due to a previous host having a negative experience with the guest  \niv) We have found items i) and ii) prevent more than 98% of the potential issues we have experienced  \nb) Realization: a guest passes through our processes without raising flags, but causes issues  \ni) We utilize Noise Monitoring Hardware in each of our homes  \n(1) We are notified when the noise level is above 85db for 10 continuous minutes and begin contacting the guest  \n(2) Once notified of 85db for 20 continuous minutes, we contact AirBNB to begin the process of canceling the reservation and removing the guests from the home  \nii) We have electronic locks that alert us when the door is locked and unlocked  \n(1) Multiple locks/unlocks late at night is a good indication of an unauthorized gathering  \niii) We have exterior cameras to confirm the number of vehicles as well as guests on the outside of the home (hanging out in the backyard, front yard, and driveway, for example)  \niv) We have very good relationships with the neighbors. If they see something that doesn’t look or sound right, they have my contact information and are encouraged to contact me  \nc) Mitigation: If we need to remove guests,  \ni) Through AirBNB, we have the ability to cancel the reservation  \nii) Once canceled, we will work with the guest to leave the home immediately  \niii) If the guest will not leave, we will work with local authorities to have them removed for trespassing  \niv) In hosting over 1,000 groups through AirBNB, we have never had to contact the local authorities for any reason  \n9) In hosting over 1,000 groups on AirBNB, we are not aware of guests ever bringing more vehicles than bedrooms  \na) I believe this is due to our strict policies on guests local to the greater Kansas City area  \nb) The guests we host are generally out of town, thereby limiting the number of vehicles they bring  \n10) We have our occupancy li","cbCaiaBA4BzpXz18","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaBA4BzpXz18","pdf",17360,"English","# Short-Term Rental Cover Letter\n## Purpose and property details\n## Operating specifics and safety compliance\n## Guest management and prevention systems\n## Realization and mitigation procedures\n## Occupancy and vehicle policies\n## Contact and sign-off","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the cover letter?\",\"answer\":\"It accompanies the Planning and Zoning Application Form and explains that the property will be operated as a short-term rental.\"},{\"question\":\"What safety and compliance items are mentioned for guests?\",\"answer\":\"The letter states that escape routes will be posted in each guest room, carbon monoxide detection is provided, outlets are child-proofed, emergency contact information is posted, and fire extinguishers and smoke detectors meet code requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the host manage issues during the rental stay?\",\"answer\":\"The letter describes prevention through guest screening, realization monitoring using noise hardware, electronic lock alerts, and exterior cameras, and mitigation steps via Airbnb cancellation and, if necessary, contacting local authorities for removal.\"}]","Short-Term Rental Cover Letter - Applicant | PDF",1789296169]
