The intention of this project is to create a community-based employee housing project which would benefit the employees, local businesses, and the City itself. The need for affordable housing in the Rocky Mountain resort communities has been well documented. Historically, the obstacles that developers have run into in meeting this need have been: 1. high cost of land 2. availability of land 3. high cost of construction 4. seasonal employment and transient tenancy 5. availability of affordable conventional financing 6. unwillingness and/or inability of governmental participation through grants or subsidies. The scenario we are looking at assumes .that it is a local issue that can be resolved locally with cooperation from the City and private businesses. What is a Housing Cooperative? Housing cooperatives have been created in response to a variety of development opportunities such as tenant groups wishing to avoid displacement; communities wishing to rehab a blighted area's vacant apartment buildings; affordable senior housing; low to moderate income apartments. Housing cooperatives may also vary in size, income levels and format of the dwelling units. What cooperatives have in common is a democratic ownership alternative requiring active participation from residents and encouraging a closely knit community which enables members to most effectively serve their housing needs. The cooperative operates on general basic principals: - democratic control of the organization - not-for-profit operation - open, non-discriminatory membership - continuing education of the membership - limited return on investment • y n Legal Structure A cooperative is a non-profit corporation, and each owner has a membership or share. in the corporation, as well as a lease entitling him or her to occupy a particular unit. Cooperative .owners actually own stock in the corporation, which like any corporate stock gives them ownership of a certain fraction of the cooperative. The cooperative structure can be set to maintain affordable monthly costs for future buyers, by restricting the resale prices of cooperative units or shares. A cooperative's ability to easily establish and enforce such resale controls is a major reason why some local governments encourage cooperative development as a way of creating a permanently affordable housing resource. Mutual Housing Associations A Mutual Housing Authority is a housing entity organized with the same goals and operational principles as cooperative housing, but with formalized input from the community at large and a broader mandate of~ongoing housing development. An MH,A may look like a cooperative, owning and managing housing, yet it has the added dimension of an ongoing program to create more cooperative units. In our model, the Vail MHA would be a non-profit corporate entity that would develop, own and manage the actual units or complex. Membership would be comprised of Mutual Housing residents, potential residents, representatives of the city, local business representatives and other community participants. MHA's are governed by volunteer boards of directors, representative of the membership, although resident representatives constitute a majority. However, resident members - who pay a one-time membership fee as well as monthly housing charges to cover operating and other related expenses - gain a lifetime right to occupy their unit and the right to nominate a successor to that unit. Residents also control a majority of the MHA's board of directors. Financing The basic financing method for establishing a cooperative is a blanket mortgage for which the entire cooperative corporation is liable. A blanket lender will lend to the cooperative based primarily on the value of its building and the strength of the cooperative organization. Affordability-oriented cooperatives often find funds in addition to the mortgage to lower the downpayment or share price, and may add rental subsidies to reduce monthly carrying charges. - 2 - 1 The flexibility inherent in cooperative financing, however, means that members with more cash available may be able to pay down their share of a blanket mortgage to reduce their monthly costs. The size of the blanket mortgage depends upon how much it costs to develop the project, what amount the cooperative membership can afford to pay in monthly carrying charges, and how much subsidy and member downpayments may be available to make up the balance. A blanket loan is the responsibility of the corporation to repay. The membership fee in the project would be pegged to equal one month's carrying charges, plus estimated utilities, this making it relatively easy to afford the initial cost of joining the MHA. The Vail Mutual Housing Association After nearly ten months of extensive research, we feel that the cooperative housing concept could be a viable solution to the affordable housing situation in Vail. If established correctly and properly managed, the MHA would address the major obstacles as follows: 1. The MHA would request a land subsidy City by means of a land _ lease at a nominal rate; 2. The MHA would utilize vacant land currently designated for employee housing. 3. Construction cost would be competitively bid, eliminating large developer profits. 4. The members of the MHA would pay a monthly membership fee equal to the debt service. 5. There are financing alternatives available to MHA's which are not available to other entities at lower-than-conventional rates. 6. This program would allow the City to maintain a certain amount of control over the project through deed restrictions, without actually being in the housing business. The actual development and management would be the responsibility of local businesses, interested public officials, and other community participants. - 3 - f EXAMPLE VAIL NfUTUAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION PRO FORMA Based upon TAXABLE financing Total Number of Units: 150 Unitas Total Rentable Square Feet: 100,000 ;sf Unit Descriptions: 50-2 BR 17nits, 800 sf 100-1 BR Units, 600 sf LAND COSTS - (assumes municipal subsidy) ' Acquisition 0 Site Development @ $3,000/unit 450,,000 ~ Utilities 0 Total Land Costs: 450,000 HARD COSTS @ $45/sf ~ 4,500,,000 Total Hard Costs: 4,500,000 SOFT COSTS Architecture- 450„000 Fin.

I sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings that have arisen over this issue, and sincerely trust that if the VRA Board decides to relocate, it will only enhance your business opportunities. The Town Council decided to proceed with discussions with the Vail Resort Association regarding the possibility of leasing this space to them. We expect a final decision on this matter within the next two weeks. Should the decision be made to lease the space to URA, the lease agreement language will prohibit the URA from providing outbound airline ticket services to walk-in traffic. The Council hopes that this will help alleviate your concerns regarding the VRA's occupancy of this space. Sincerely, Rondall V.

Estimated Town of Vail cost for providing bus service: to Minturn: 7 hours service daily $35 185 to Eagle-Vail: 7 hours service daily $37 611 NOTE: These are gross cost estimates.

It is unlikely that the Town of Vail will have enough buses to provide service to either Minturn or Eagle-Vail during the Christmas holiday period and much of March (Spring Break periods). 1 November, 1990 ' Vail Planning and Environmental Commission Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Road West Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Commission and Council Members: This is in regard to the appl.ica.tion for zoning change for density in- crease in the Inte~u,.~ntain Subdivision (again, the second time within six months). Inte~~wantain is a quiet, stable, upstriving, family-oriented c.~,~,uni- ty; apleasant place to live in where density increases are neither aNN~~Nliate nor wanted. Everyone realizes that the Vail "guest" businesses need several thousand t~~M,rary employees during each ski season, along with housing for them. At this time there is still adequate land space ava~~arle down valley to a.cc.~,~.,,~date most of the housing needs for the seasonal influx of tem- porary workers. We in Int~~lu,sntain have been accused of being against employee housing or even.aga~nst employees! How absurd! We all are employees. What we are against is mini-size - "affordable" housing (read cheap) -for rent to seasonal employees forced into the middle of a subdivision mostly inhabited by permanent residents. This is not a compatible situation. Seasonal employees have no stake in the c~~~,anity and generally lack respect for the neighborhood and neighbors. It is a mistake to mix transients with yeax axound residents. It will lead to friction and problems. Furth~~~~„re, a high density complex for rent to transients will i<,~tiiately erode property values due to the flavor it casts upon the c.~?....~ulity. Also is the Town Gov~~.~„~ut prepared to provide ad- ditional police protection against/for noise, vandalism, rowdiness, speed control on Kinnikinnick, animal control, auto towing of illegally parked or abandoned vehicles, street trash, etc.? High density com- plexes constitute increased fire hazards. Anyway, the N~~~sa1 presently under consideration in itself has many serious flaws as it is adding justified feaxs. To list a few: o The "affordable" rent is too high. o The estimated construction cost way-too low (especially for the sna,ll buildings proposed. Economy of scale is lost). o The occupancy rate too unrealistic. o The financing too shaky. _ o 'The credit rating of the p~~~~,.,ter unknown. o His past record not revealed. Finally, the taxpayers and neighbors are not proected in case of bank= ruptcy or other failure. Page ~o In view of all the above,. it would not be aN~,~~~,riate to change the zoning to acc.hu..~date a project as y~.,~,osed. And then there is this matter of possible conflict of interest involving a council ..,~rber having been hired some months ago by the pr~„b,~er to be the architect and spokesperson for the project. (More about that later:) Sincerely and ~ ncerned, F.Ywin Bachrach P.S. Since submitting this letter (handwritten due to this "fast track- ing" going on), I have attended the presentation of Whistler and Aspen employee housing.
