Time: 15 Min.
Lindstrom updated the group regarding a recent meeting. A grant application for congressionally
directed funding is ready to submit. Ruther added that it is being submitted for Timber Ridge for an
amount TBD. The funding of the grant is applicable after May 2025 if it is awarded.

4.3 Timber Ridge Deed Restriction Discussion
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director
Time: 15 Min.
Ruther provided background that we are wrapping up with the Timber Ridge Website as a
source for sales information. The deed restrictions will be refined and posted. The current plan is
for the 294 homes, 165+/- homes will be sold to businesses, 43 homes kept for the Town of Vail
as rentals, 10 allocated for Habitat for Humanity and the remainder kept for
individuals/employees to purchase.
Questions have come up regarding the policy objectives that are being sought through these
deed restrictions. When it comes to businesses, the entities can own these as we are most
concerned with who lives in the residence.
Authority comments that while the business ownership should not be a back door to get one but
that it is supported, and could look much like Vail InDEED. Question arose regarding not owning
another home in Eagle County and the variety of ways the deed restrictions could direct
ownership.
There are many similarities between the drafted deed restrictions between individual and
business ownership. Questions presented and options for consideration:
o Do we keep the price appreciation cap for the individuals?
o Shall we consider an inflation index reflective around the price appreciation cap?
o Consideration of the market rates vs. lotteries, price appreciation and tracking of capital
improvements?
o Should it be intended that businesses only sell to businesses and individuals only sell to
individuals? If it is sold to the other, it could need a change of deed restriction.
o Consideration to keep it simple and boil it down to a qualified employee/tenant.
o Consideration of Right of First Refusal to sell to local businesses.
o Consideration of allowing businesses to participate in lotteries along with individuals.
o Continue to be a problem solver for housing for the workforce, by supporting
opportunities for small business owners to purchase housing for employees.
o Remember that we are trying to create housing opportunities, creating value and
creating and at the same time provide a fundamental gain and attainability.
o Consideration to keep it simple on the administrative side as the number of deed
restrictions continue to rise in many years to come.
o Do we allow the market to drive the sales process moving forward? We have not seen
problems with the transfer of Vail InDEED homes and the market drives the sales
price.
o The Authority will firm up thoughts around the Timber Ridge deed restrictions to
present to the Town Council for consideration and we want to be sure we get it right. It
will likely be set for a work session with Town Council on Tuesday, April 16th.
o Wilkins left the meeting at 4:00 p.m. without anything else to vote on.
5. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members
5.1 Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members
Presenter(s): Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman
Time: 5 Min.
Town Manager, Russell Forrest joined the discussion portion of the meeting, focusing on
the Town Council Goals as part of the Strategic Planning session.
6
There were focus groups with a very diverse group of community members and there was a
strong level of alignment focused on Community. Housing was part of the topic of course but
also, are we able to connect with the under age of 40 community moving forward.
Forrest shared information around goals such as:
A.1 By 2027, 100 new deed restricted housing units will be created.
A.2 By 2029, X% of Vail homes will be occupied compared to 33% in 2024.
A. 3 By 20XX, we will improve the % of full time residents occupying Vail deed restricted
homes from 15% to x %.
A. 4 By 2029, Vail residents will experience a continuum of mixed housing opportunities
ranging from seasonal housing to retirees including apartments and condos, town homes,
point access blocks, and, where possible, duplexes and triplexes, single family homes.
Forrest referred to current housing usage and the vision that will get the Town of Vail to the
2027 Housing Goal so the Council is interested in determining what is next. In review of the
numbers, it is clear to work towards determining which of the unoccupied homes can be re-
allocated as deed restricted units and to ramp up Vail InDEED numbers in effort to achieve the
goals.
Maybe there shall be an additional goal to increase the number in the permanent population,
even if it is not through home ownership.
th
Ruther suggested to add this topic to the April 9 Authority meeting.
Continuing along with Matters, Lindstrom updated the group that the new Housing Policies
passed and we want to look to keep these front of mind. Lindstrom updated the group
regarding the recent PEC meeting.
Timber Ridge is moving along with a Sales Website in the works and Timber Ridge current
residents will move out by end of April.
Williams provided a draft letter for the Authority to review this week.

February16, 2024
The Fire Marshals Association of Colorado (FMAC) is opposed to HB24-1239, Single-Exit Stairway Multi-
FamilyStructure, as introduced.This proposed bill is too broad and does not provide sufficient detail as
to the specific building type this would apply to.There is no limit on the number of dwelling units or
square footage of the multi-familystructureswhich would allow large buildings to only require one exit.
Simply limiting the number of stories is not adequate. Additionally, Section 1 line 10 and Section 2line 20
specifies this bill applies to R-2 occupancies; currently adoptedbuilding codes includehotels, motels,
dormitories, fraternities, and timeshare properties as other examples of R-2 occupancies. So,this will
have a wider impact than simply just apartment buildings.
Furthermore, it does notofferany requirements to provide an equal level of life safetyin place of the
currently required second exit. There are established code development processes through the
International Code Council(ICC)and National Fire Protection Association(NFPA)in whichto change the
modelcodes. aƚķźŅǤźƓŭƒƚķĻƌ ĭƚķĻƭ ƚǒƷƭźķĻ ƚŅ Ʒŷźƭ ƦƩƚĭĻƭƭͲĭźƩĭǒƒǝĻƓƷƭ ƷŷĻƭĭƩǒƷźƓǤ ƚŅ ƷŷĻ ĭƚķĻ

ǞŷĻƓ ķƚƓĻ źƓ Ʒŷźƭ ƒğƓƓĻƩ.
While we understand this bill is an effort to provide affordable housing, additional safety provisions
from the loss of egress can come in many forms andwould add to the cost of construction and
building maintenance over the life of the building.
The fire code community strives to be proactive and reduce risk, but this bill as introducedwill put the
fire service in a reactive position in addressing this requirement. Not following internationally adopted
measures to change model codes as well as putting the fire service in a reactionary position will reduce
the life safety of not only the occupants but also the emergency response personnelthat would answer
the callin the event of an emergency.
Withthat said,FMACrecommends, at minimum, the state of Colorado convene an inclusiveworking
group to consider language that would allow local jurisdictions to permit a single stair R-2 up to 5stories
under certain conditions including,but not limited to,fire department response capabilities. This is
currently being done within the states of Washington and California. We encourage the proponents to
work with individual local governments to determine if there are parameters that would allow the single-
stair conceptwithin their specific jurisdictions.Until a larger in-depth conversation can be had, we will
oppose HB24-1239.

Position Statement
Reducing Stairs in Residential Buildings Higher Than Three Stories Creates
Escape Hazards for Occupants and Inhibits Vital Emergency Response
Operations.
The Issue at Hand:
1
A concerning trend towards deregulation seeks to eliminate the current code requirements for R-2
residential buildings, driven by purported benefits such as increased housing availability and reduced
costs. It really endangers occupants and inhibits emergency response operations. The consensus process
has been used for decades to reflect all parties’ interests. These proposals, backed by developers, builders,
and urban planners, bypass the established National Code Consensus process, leading to local exceptions
and allowances that jeopardize occupant and firefighter safety.
The Importance of Two Staircases:
The requirement for two separate staircases in residential buildings above three stories is grounded in
scientific research and the consensus code process. This provision ensures vital redundancy in egress
options, crucial for occupant evacuation and firefighter access during emergencies. It is founded on the
principle of safeguarding lives and is not to be compromised for short-term gains.
Addressing Contemporary Fire Challenges:
Modern hazards, such as those posed by lithium-ion battery-powered devices, underscore the need to be
able to exit a building quickly and safely in an emergency. The proliferation of such risks necessitates
stringent adherence to building codes that prioritize occupant and firefighter safety, with the inclusion of
a second staircase serving as a cornerstone of this protective framework.
Enhancing Safety and Accessibility:
Beyond its life-saving implications, the provision of two staircases enhances the efficiency, convenience,
and inclusivity of residential living environments. It mitigates congestion, promotes equitable access for
individuals with mobility challenges, and fosters a more welcoming community for all residents. This is
especially important when more and more combustible products, including delivered packages and vanity
trash collection services add potential fuel loads into the corridors.
1
R-2 type building. What is involved, the R-2 Residential occupancies contain sleeping units of more than two
dwelling units where the occupants are primarily permanent in nature. This includes: Apartment houses, Boarding
houses (not transient), Convents, Dormitories, Fraternities and sororities, Hotels (nontransient), Monasteries, Motels
(nontransient), Vacation timeshare properties.
1
23
Considering Long-Term Implications:
While critics may raise concerns about construction costs and usable floor space, the benefits of retaining
the two-staircase requirement far outweigh these considerations. Moreover, amendments to model
codes can impact insurance ratings and lead to increased costs and unnecessary risks for both the public
and emergency responders.
Submitted by the Fire & Life Safety Section Board
The International Association of Fire Chiefs, represented by its Fire & Life Safety Section (FLSS), hereby
declares its unwavering support for the retention of the requirement for a second staircase in R-2
residential structures exceeding three stories. This position is vital to enable fire and emergency services
to respond effectively to incidents, safeguarding both occupants and firefighters.
Call to Action:
The IAFC urges fire service leaders to vehemently oppose legislative attempts to amend out the second
staircase requirement. It is imperative to engage with urban planners, legislators, and the building
community, providing informed perspectives to ensure the safety of communities and the welfare of
those who serve them.
In conclusion, the IAFC reaffirms its commitment to advocating for measures that prioritize safety in
residential structures, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of two staircases in ensuring the well-being of
occupants and responders alike.
The International Association of Fire Chiefs, through its Fire & Life Safety Section (FLSS), is adopting this
position paper on the need to continue the requirements for a second staircase in R-2 residential
structures above three stories so the fire and emergency service can better respond to incidents
effectively.

_______________________________________________________________________________
1.PURPOSE AND INTRODUCTION
This Strategic Plan’s purpose is to create real and meaningful results to address the
importantissuesidentifiedby our residents incommunitysurveys,plans,andcommunity
conversations.ThisStrategic Plan, once approved, will provide a framework to align both
human and financial resources to achieve critical results in addressing our community’s
most important issues.
On February 26 and 27, 2024, the Town Council worked together toupdate thetown’s
mission, identify priority issues, and outline strategic results included in this plan. The
planning session started with a review of feedback received by 5 focus groupsand a
summary of public input from communityandguest surveys, feedbackfrom a recent
branding study, and Vail’s Stewardship Roadmap.
Staff would like to review the mission statement, priority issues, and results identified on
February 26 and 27, discuss several questions with Council and then return on April 16
with a complete draft. The following includes a more developed mission statement,
description of priority issues, and results. Prior to the 2025 budget process staff will create
specific actionsto execute this strategic plan that will have a time frame of 2025-2029.
2.MISSION STATEMENT, ISSUES AND RESULTS
The following is a working draft (this is still work in progress) of the Mission, Priority Issues,
and Results from the February 26 and 27 planning session for Council Review.
Mission: The mission describes our purpose and the fundamental services we provide to
the community and the desired impact of thoseservices.
The Mission of the Town of Vail is to provide exceptional public services to people
who live, work, and play here so they can connect to the community and nature,
create memories, find opportunities to thrive, and have the time of their lives.
58
Issues and Results: The following is a draft narrative of the issues and results/goals
identified by the Town Council on February 26 and 27.
A.Housing and Community: With ever increasing housing costs causing a lack of
opportunity for employees working in Vail to make a home in Vail (oreven within
30 to 40 miles ofVail), the sustainability of our economy and community are
threatened. This has resulted in a net loss of population for both the Town of Vail
and Eagle County as a whole. Although a pioneeringspirit has always been
required to call Vail home, without a continuum of new housing and business
opportunitiesin Vail the next generation of residents, community leaders, and
business owners may not be readily present in the future.
Desired Results:
A.1 By 2027, the Town of Vail will have acquired 1,000 new (compared to
2017) deed restrictionsbringing the total number of deed restrictions to 1,688.
A.2 By 2029,the Town of Vail will have expanded upon the continuum of
housing through an increase in the diversity of home types thereby ensuring
Vail residents have access to a mix of housing opportunities ranging from
homes for seasonal employeesto retirees includingfor-rentapartments and
for-salecondominiums, town homes, single access multi-family buildings
duplexes, triplexes, and single-familyhomes.
A.3. By 2029, the Town of Vail will implement actions specifically intended to
protect and preserve the existing housing stock and reducesthe loss of
resident-occupied,free market homes.
A.3 By 2027, inan effort to maintain and sustain community,reverse thetrend
of population loss in Vail and realizea 1-2% increase in the population
between 2024 (4,804)and 2029. A goal focused on reducing population loss
was recommended by the HousingAuthority.
A.4 By2033, double the supply of deed-restricted homes from 1,034to 2,370
for our year-round and seasonal Vail residents through a collaborative and
regenerative approachthat includesdownvalley partnerships andregional
solutions.(This would effectively replace the current 1,336 resident occupied,
free market dwelling unitswhich could be lost to the second home market)
A.5: By 2027, Vail will increase commercial opportunities for local businesses
that provide goods and services by 10% as measured by commercial square
footage.The total commercial square footage in the Town of Vail is
approximately 530,000 sq ft.

B.Workforce Support: Given the high cost of living in the Vail Valley, retaining
employees,and creating a succession of business leaders is threatened.
Mainlining a high level of guest service to support Vail’s vision requires creating a
succession of business leaders and retaining high performing employees.
Desired Results:
B.1: By December 2025, working with our partners, Vail’s workforce will have
access to leadership training, mentorship, and entrepreneurial skills
development, as evidenced by the number of new businesses created.
B.2:By 2029, 99% ofourworkforce has access to information about
healthcare coverage, mental health resources, and other resources.
B.3: By 2029, working with ourpartners, expand the current employee
mental health assistance programs (EAP) for Vail workforce and provide
timely access to care.
B.4: By 2029, parents/caregivers working in Vail needing childcare have
access to affordable childcare (7 to 10% of income) located where they need
it, measured by a reduction in waitlist numbers at Vail childcare facilities.
C.Authentic Vail Experience: Vail’s vision of being the premier mountain resort
community despite a trend towardshomogeneity in the ski industry will be
achieved by creating programming and eventsauthentic to Vail’s pioneering and
entrepreneurial spirit. We are a community that celebrates the sport of skiing and
mountain town living.
Desired Results:
C.1: By 2027, Vail will create and/orenhance 1-2 showstopper, unique events
in the winter and summer seasonswhich are consistent with the authentic
Vail vibe. Examples: GoPro Mountain Games, X Games, Burton US Open,

C.2: By 2029, Vail will create a seamless, vibrant, inclusive experience as a
person transitionfrom the mountainintotownand town to mountain.As our

C.5: By 2025, Vail will provide and support community members and
organizations to incentivize and create social events for the Vail community
and its workforce.
C.6: By 2025, Vail will provide excellent customer service through clear
definitions, measurements, and reporting.This was under governance,and it
could fit well here.
D.Transportation: The increasing number of commuters traveling to and from Vail for
business and pleasure impacts public safety, generates an expensive need for
parking, reduces the guest experience by causing parking on the Frontage Roads,
and contributes to carbon emissions.
7, people who live, work, and recreate in Vail use
D.1 Transportation –By 202
the RTA and Vail Bus System as their preferred method of transportation as
evidenced by reducing the percentage of vehicles parking in the Vail parking
structures from 32% to 20% by those who begin their day in Vail; and from
40% to 30% by those who begin their day in Eagle County but outside of Vail.
A total reduction from 72% to 50%. (The Parking Taskforce may also provide
feedback on this goal).
E.Governance or Environmental Sustainability?In the retreat apriorityissue was
Governance and included results related to the environment and excellent customer
service. If Council is comfortable with C.6 above would you like to make a stronger
statement about Environmental Sustainability as suggested below?If not we can
keep a catch all category as governance.
Environmental Sustainability (or Governance): The town of Vail with 5,000
residents and 2 million guests per year is inherently consumptive on a per capita
basis. Our sensitive alpine environment supports our economy, and the Town must
continue to be a responsible steward of our natural resources and shouldcontinue to
be aleader in environmental sustainability for mountain resort communities across
the world.
E.1: By2029,workingwith our partners,advance the next stage of design to
restore habitat connectivity at Dowd Junction.
E.2: By 2027, Vail and its partners havea cohesive wildlife/environmental
management plan that identifies Vail’s role in sustaining ecosystem
biodiversity in its various habitats.
E.3: (Stewardship Roadmap Action 4)–Reduce 2014 baseline carbon
emissions by 25% by 2025, 50% by 2030, and 80%by 2050 while advancing
community resiliency, improving Gore Creek Watershed, and maintaining
certification to a globally recognized sustainability standard.

E.4?? Would Council consider the following regardingGore Creek: By
2030Gore Creek is nolongera 303(d)listed impaired waterwaywhich
would reducenear term risk of losingthe gold medal fishery status.
3.QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL
1.Please review the proposed strategic issues and results,and confirm the text reflects the
Council’sdesired direction.
2.Your feedback to thequestions and comments in redwould be appreciated.
3.The only significant change proposed from the Februaryplanning session is whether the
governance section could be modifiedin the following way:
Move the result on excellent customer service to Authentic Vail ExperienceC.6:
By 2025, Vail will provide excellent customer service through clear definitions,
measurements, and reporting. This was under governance,and it could fit well
here.
If Council would prefer,then we could have a priority issue focused on
environmental sustainabilityversus a catch all category that we called
“Governance”. In addition, a council member asked about adding a goal on Gore
Creek.
With this feedback, staff can rapidly complete the strategic plan and bring it back to Council
as soon asthe April 16 meeting. Then staff will develop a specific action plan to implement
this strategic plan prior to the 2025 budget process and bring that back to the Town Council
for your approval.
