acerbone@adirondackdailyenterprise.com SARANAC LAKE The village board is considering regulation of short-term vacation rentals and will hold a public work session Monday to discuss a possible STR permit system. This will not be a public comment session, but there will be a public hearing before the law is voted on. Public comment can also be made at regular board meeting or by sending mail or email to the village clerk. STRs are a hot topic in the Tri-Lakes, which has an economy heavily reliant on tourism. In nearby Lake Placid some residents say the rentals eat up the affordable housing stock and cause problems with neighbors. Others say they rely on the income they get by renting out their home, part of their home or second home, and that it allows for more visitors.
