What next, selectmen?

The deadline on the Conway selectmen's vaguely written notification to  owners of short-term rentals is coming up next week. So far, it’s anyone's guess as to when or if they will begin actual enforcement of the town zoning ordinance that prohibits almost all STRs.

The notification, sent last month, said, “If you have an owner-occupied short-term rental in one of the town’s residential districts, and you have not received permission from the town, please contact the town’s Planning Department.” It goes on to say, "We would prefer to achieve voluntary compliance as opposed to an enforcement action. Please let us know your position within 30 days of the date of this letter regarding voluntary compliance."
