I. Description of the Request
The applicant, Sam Spadafora, on behalf of Spadafora Declaration of Trust, the ownership
entity of the residential property located at 2349 Chamonix Lane, Vail, CO, is requesting
approval of an EHU exchange application, consistent with the provisions of Section 12-13-5,
Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, of the Vail Town Code. The
applicant is requesting the release of the original recorded deed restriction, dated July 31,
1991, as amended, dated September 4, 1992, on an existing 450 square foot EHU in
exchange for a fee in lieu payment of $180,000 to the Town of Vail.
II. Background
On July 31, 1991, an EHU deed restriction was executed and recorded between the Town of
Vail and then property owners Gary Rothbart, Ceil Rothbart, David Schwartz, and Abby
Schwartz.
On September 4, 1992, the EHU deed restriction was amended by mutual agreement. The
purpose of the amendment was to acknowledge options for the completion of the interior
square footage of the secondary dwelling unit (i.e. EHU). The deed-restricted dwelling unit is
a two-bedroom, one bathroom home located within the residence located at 2349 Chamonix
Lane.
According to the recorded deed restriction, the deed-restricted dwelling unit is 450 square
feet in size, “and if leased, should be leased to and occupied by tenants who are full-time
employees who work in Eagle County.” Uniquely, the deed-restriction “expires 20 years from
the date of execution of the agreement, plus the life of Tiffany Lowenthal.” Unless Tiffany
Lowenthal lives in perpetuity, upon her passing, the deed restriction shall terminate.
Exchanges of recorded deed restrictions are permitted subject to the terms and provisions of
Section 12-13-5, Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, of the Vail
Town Code. According to the Vail Town Code,
“The exchange program allows the Town Council to release a deed restriction from
an existing employee housing unit in exchange for the placement of an employee
housing deed restriction on another dwelling unit and/or a fee in lieu payment made
to the Town of Vail.”
Historically, the Town of Vail and Vail Local Housing Authority have successfully relied upon
this program of the Vail Town Code to advance the Town’s housing policies and adopted
4
____________________________________
housing goal of the Vail community to better ensure the occupancy of deed-restricted homes
for Vail residents. Created in 2008, the exchange program has resulted in dozens of net
new, deed-restricted homes within the Vail community.
According to Section 12-13-5, (C), of the Vail Town Code, the existing EHU is located within
the mapped area of the Commercial Job Core. Further, the Town Code states,
“if the exchange EHU is outside the commercial job core and the proposed EHU(s) is
outside of the commercial job core, the gross residential floor area (GRFA) of the
proposed EHU(s) shall be a minimum of two times the gross residential floor area
(GRFA) of the exchange EHU.”
As such, per Section 12-13-5(c) of the Vail Town Code, a proposed exchange needs to
accommodate 900 square feet (450 sq. ft. @ 2x exchange rate multiplier) of net new, deed-
restricted, gross residential floor area (GRFA).
III. EHU Exchange Proposal
The applicant is proposing to provide the Town of Vail a fee in lieu payment in the exchange
for the release and termination of the deed restriction recorded at the property located at 2349
Chamonix Lane. The applicant is offering to grant the Town of Vail $180,000 to facilitate the
Town’s acquisition of at least 900 square feet of GRFA, or $200 per square foot and secure a
new “performing” deed restriction(s). The $180,000 would be paid to the Town of Vail upon
the recording of a mutually executed release and termination of deed restriction with Eagle
County Clerk & Recorder’s office. This amount is equal to 20% of the fair market value (FMV)
of free-market residential square footage at a market value of $1,000 per square foot. Based
upon the Town’s five most recent home purchases for deed restriction purposes, the average
FMV per square foot was $884.26 ($200/sq.ft. equals 23% of ave. FMV). Historically speaking,
through the Vail InDEED Deed Restriction Purchase Program, the Vail Local Housing Authority
and the Vail Town Council have successfully acquired deed restrictions for 18% - 20% of FMV
of the home. With this in mind, the grant of $180,000 more than adequately allows the Town
to acquire at least 900 square feet of new deed-restricted GRFA. Moreover, unlike other deed
restrictions previously exchanged, given the terms of this deed restriction, it is a matter of time
before the deed restriction expires on its term and all value to the Town of Vail is lost.
IV. Recommendation
The applicant has demonstrated full compliance with the applicable provisions of the Vail
Town Code. To that end, the applicant recommends that the Vail Local Housing Authority
recommends approval of the EHU exchange application, as presented. In doing so, the
applicant has demonstrated the following:
• that the proposed EHU exchange furthers the Town’s adopted housing goal and aligns
with the Town’s adopted housing policy statements,
5
____________________________________
• that the grant of $180,000 in payment in lieu funds adequately affords the Vail Local
Housing Authority and Vail Town Council the opportunity to acquire at least 900 square
feet of net new deed-restricted homes,
• that the EHU exchange application complies with the provisions of Section 12-13-5 of the
Vail Town Code as demonstrated in the EHU exchange application on file with the Town
of Vail, and
• that the EHU exchange program is an effective tool to increase the supply of new deed
restrictions within the Vail community in partnership with private sector partners, which in
this case is at a 2 times multiplier.
The Vail Local Housing Authority members recommended that the payment in lieu fee be
deposited in the Town Housing Fund, or similar reinvestment accounts, and used to increase
and leverage the supply of deed restrictions in the Town of Vail.
