We seasonally rent our out and in my opinion, it is a great service to the community. It adds additional income for businesses in the area, peaks interests in attractions in the area and adds to the charm of the area. Short term rentals also provide increased revenue to the homeowners, which in turn provides more tax dollars to the county. Specifically to Mike & Sylvia Pagans' property...What a gorgeous place renters could enjoy with their families, so warm and welcoming. We've met many wonderful people in the area, all hold special places in our heart; but it's all due to the patience, perseverance and professionalism given by Mike and Sylvia, as they were the ones that found our beautiful home with us! I'm sure that there are many families that vacation to the area in short term rentals, fall in love with the community and then decide to look for a home of their own to enjoy. What better way to enhance Smith Mountain Lake!!

This is the "right" kind of thing for Smith Mountain Lake and Franklin County. Developing and promoting Smith Mountain Lake has generated a lot of tax revenue over the years. That money has and will continue to improve the educational resources available to our children.

Approval promotes economic development in our region by creating a community image that is conducive to attracting new residents.

Approval increases tourism, helps to expand the tax base, and supports local business at no expense to taxpayers, with no increase in county services.

Approval provides both the ability and the incentive for the property to be maintained in it’s utmost condition.

The property’s size, location, and separation and screening from adjacent properties are favorable. The proposed conditions, governing regulations in Section 25-138 of the Franklin County Zoning Ordinance, and law enforcement all provide safeguards to address concerns.

We respectfully ask the decision makers in Franklin County to approve Petition # SPEC-03-2017-15579.

If a home such as this were available for a short term stay, we would certainly use that time to search for homes. I am a Realtor in the DC area and know many families that would also purchase at Smith Mountain Lake but settle for Deep Creek or Lake Anna because they have the opportunity to stay there in short term rentals. Allowing families to build memories in the area will ensure returns from future generations.
