Lake Placid has received its first two applications for an exemption from the village’s moratorium on issuing new short-term vacation rental permits. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, a public hearing for the two variance applications is scheduled for Monday, May 16 at 4:30 p.m. in the North Elba Town Hall. The village board in March unanimously passed a local law placing a six-month moratorium on issuing new short-term rental permits in the village.
