MADISON — A pair of Eidelweiss residents Tuesday implored selectmen to enforce zoning regulations against short-term rentals or propose a warrant article to do the same. If selectmen don’t take any action, the residents said they would file warrant articles of their own.
Nick Borelli, a retired builder, was on the agenda to discuss his enforcement request regarding STRs in the Village District of Eidelweiss. He was joined by Kathy Koziell, who is an Eidelweiss commissioner but was speaking as a private citizen.
