Greilickville neighborhood residents came out in force at the Elmwood Township board meeting Monday to support a two-year-old motion calling for the removal of short-term rentals (STRs) in their neighborhood’s subdivisions. The board approved sending this request to the planning commission by a 4-3 vote.
The board appeared to repeat their earlier directions to the planning commission to remove the STRs “using an overlay district or amendment to the zoning ordinances,” with township trustee Kyle Trevas recommending they consult maps provided by former township supervisor Jack Kelly.
The motion passed by a narrow margin with township supervisor Jeff Shaw, treasurer Chris Mikowski, and trustee Terry Lautner voting no. The township planning commission’s next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 19, 2023, at 6:30 p.m.
