Residents of Love Point voiced their concerns regarding the rise of short-term rental properties during a recent government meeting. Kate Miller, a local resident, highlighted the negative impacts of a specific rental at 305 Love Point Avenue, noting a significant increase in traffic and parking issues since its operation began. She reported that the influx of guests has created safety hazards, particularly for children in the area, as well as disturbances from noise and litter.

Miller emphasized that the property often accommodates large groups, sometimes exceeding 50 people, leading to disruptive behavior and late-night noise that affects the quality of life for nearby residents. She expressed strong support for Ordinance 24-09, which is currently under consideration, and mentioned that a petition from neighbors endorsing this ordinance had been collected.

Following Miller, Robert Morelli, president of Cloverfield's largest homeowners association, raised concerns about the lack of communication from the commissioners regarding planning for short-term rentals. He urged the commissioners to involve community input in future discussions about such developments.

The meeting underscored growing tensions in Love Point as residents seek to address the challenges posed by short-term rentals, advocating for regulations that would help maintain the neighborhood's quality of life.
