Please know that I, along with many people who enjoy and actively use
our wilderness at all times of the year; have strong concern regarding
the proximity of traps to established trails and hiking areas.
Please use careful consideration when making your decisions regarding
the restriction of trapping. The safety of children, adulfs, and pets
must be placed foremost in your fact-gathering process.
As I mentioned pets in the above paragraph, I must tell you that I
disagree with trapping as it is cruel and inefficient. There are
other animals beside loved family pets that come under your juris-
diction and protection.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Please use your authority and capability to make and keen our
wilderness a safe and enjoyable place for humans and animals,
Sincerely,

Re: Proposed Employee Housing Ordinance
Dear Mayor and Town Council:
In April 1991 I purchased a home at 227 Rockledge in Vail.
Needless to say, we enjoy our home and the Town of Vail very
much.
I have learned of a proposal which, if enacted, would encourage
building employee housing spaces or units within residential
homes. The purpose of this letter is to encourage the Town of
Vail to pass such an ordinance.
I am one homeowner who, if given a motivation to do so, would
seriously consider such an addition to my home. The motivation
would be in the form of a square footage allowance of
approximately 250 feet and few restrictions on its use. One
proposed restriction is a prohibition against selling the _ _ _ _ _
housing unit separate from the house. I agree with that
restriction.
I am pleased that Vail may be proactive in dealing with the
employee housing problem which is prevalent throughout
Colorado's ski industry. The passage of some meaningful
employee housing ordinance would be a "win-win" situation for
the Town, ski industry employees, and homeowners like me. I
support the Town's efforts to once again show its leadership on
a ski industry issue, and trust you will act favorably on the
proposal.
Very truly yours,
~G _

WORK SESSION
TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1991

REVISED EXPANDED AGENDA
1:00 p.m. 1. PEC Report
1:10 p.m. 2. DRB Report
1:15 p.m. 3. Trapping in Eagle County -Committee Update
Ken Hughey
Bob Slagle Backaround Rationale: On July 30, 1991, Town Council directed
parties involved in the trapping issue to meet as a committee and
reach a consensus to pass on to the Colorado Wildlife
Commission. The TOV representative, Bob Slagle, will update
the Council on the progress so far.
1:30 p.m. 4. Discussion: State of Colorado Department of Local Impact
Jill Kammerer Assistance Program Grant Application for Public
Facilities/Community Development Projects
Action Reauested of Council: To submit, in conjunction with the
Housing Authority, an Energy Impact Assistance Program Grant
application for $300,000 by the September 1, 1991 deadline.
Backaround Rationale: The Colorado State Department of Local
Affairs (DOLA) has recognized the need for affordable housing in
resort impacted communities in Colorado. Last year Steamboat
Springs, Telluride, Snowmass, and Breckenridge received
funding from the Impact Assistance Program for housing
projects. DOLA has indicated a willingness to work with Vail on
an affordable housing project.
The consulting firm of Rosall Remmen & Cares (RCC) of
Boulder, Colorado has been working with the Housing Authority
in identifying funding sources for affordable housing projects. In
telephone conversations with DOLA this past week, RCC learned
of the applicability of the Energy Impact Assistance funds for
funding land acquisition and infrastructure costs for affordable
housing projects and of the September 1, 1991 application
deadline. DOLA will allow any application by the Town to be
modified up until the December, 1991 final application review
date. If it is determined that the most appropriate site for
construction of the affordable housing project under consideration
is Town owned, the Town may be asked to contribute the land.
Prior to the December 1st meeting of the Energy Impact Advisory
Committee, the Eagle County Commissioners will need to be
consulted concerning their endorsement of the project and
project prioritization should other applications from Eagle County
be submitted for this program.
Staff Recommendation: Authorize Staff to proceed with
preparation and submission of the Energy Impact Assistance
Grant application for the amount of $300,000 to fund affordable
housing project related costs.
1:45 p.m. 5. Joint Work Session with the Town Council, Planning and
Kristan Pritz Environmental Commission, and Housing Authority concerning
Jill Kammerer employee housing requirements for Special Development
Districts (SDDsj and the proposed Zoning Code amendments
related to providing employee housing
Backaround Rationale: The purpose of the Work Session is to
give members the opportunity to comment on the proposed
affordable housing requirements for Special Development
Districts and to review the proposed Zoning Code amendments
related to affordable housing. The PEC has already
recommended approval of the code amendments with minor
changes.
3:45 p.m. 6. Discussion of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to
Mike Mollica provide for the implementation of the Employee Housing Study
Jill Kammerer Phase I recommendations, including the creation of a new
Chapter in the Code entitled Employee Housing, and setting forth
the details with regard thereto
Action Requested of Council: No formal action is required at this
time, however, feedback on the proposed amendments will assist
the Staff in the drafting of the final ordinance.
Backaround Rationale: The PEC reviewed the employee
housing amendments on August 12, 1991. First reading of the
ordinance will be presented to Council on September 3, 1991.

Attached to this memo is the draft report from Rosall, Remmen and Cares concerning the
suggested approach to applying a formula for generating employee housing, based on the
type of commercial and/or residential development. This information will be utilized in a
zoning code amendment concerning Special Development Districts. Below is a list of
questions which will be helpful to answer in order to proceed with revising the employee
housing section of the Special Development District chapter of the code.
1. What type of projects should be required to provide employee housing?
- Any SDD?
- SDDs which exceed allowed residential and/or commercial square footage?
- variances, etc.
2. What percentage of employee housing is appropriate to require?
3. Should a developer be able to satisfy an employee housing requirement with payment
in lieu or a donation of land as opposed to actually constructing a unit?
4. Should a developer be able to place restrictions on existing units in order to satisfy an
employee housing requirement?
5. Is it appropriate to include provisions that relate to the amount of rent that may be
charged for required employee housing units?
6. Should required employee housing units only be used for long-term rentals, or should
for-sale units to employees in the Town of Vail also be allowed?
The Council and Planning and Environmental Commission have discussed these issues in
general. The purpose of this worksession will be to get definitive direction on the above
questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kristan Pritz and Members of the Housing Authority
FROM: Chris Cares
RE: Suggested Approach to Applying a Formula for Employee Housing
DATE: July 15, 1991 (Revised)
Attached is the report describing the results of the Rosall, Remmen and Cares, Inc. (RRC) analysis
of commercial and residential employment generation rates. The report documents the levels of
employment that are found in resort towns based on a comprehensive analysis conducted in 1990/91.
Its purpose is to provide background information and the more technical underpinnings for the
recommendations that we are presenting in this Memorandum. In the discussion that follows, we
have identified what we consider to be important considerations for the Town of Vail as you consider
alternative formulas for evaluating and regulating new development in the Town.
On page 4 of this Memorandum we have presented a chart that summarizes the results of the
Background Analysis Report and suggests ranges that might be used as standards by the Town of
Vail. It is anticipated that a chart similar to this, but without the specific identification of RRC
findings, might be adopted into the Town's Land Use Code. The chart could either be a part of the
SDD requirements, or "free-standing", meaning that it could be used to determine requirements for `
other processes beyond just the SDD section. Clearly, we need the input of Larry E. and others,
but our intention was to present the numbers in a flexible format.
A first consideration is whether you want to impose requirements on just new commercial/lodging
construction, or on new residential that exceeds the amount of development allowed by the
underlying zoning. The rationale for just commercial/lodging standards is that these types of
development are the source of both permanent and seasonal employees. Typically, unmanaged
residential units result in construction employment during an interim period, and the expenditures
for this development creates ongoing economic impacts in the community; however, once
constructed, unmanaged residential units do not usually have employees.
4
' ROSALL REMMEN CARES
P~FN'~:NG UFE~N DESIGN Ar,D RESE~?.C~!
We suggest that Vail adopt an approach that uses a formula that will apply to only new commercial
and lodging related construction at this time. In other words, we believe regulating the commercial
side of the equation is the most logical and expedient way to create standards.
We have also identified some typical residential employment rates in the standards that are attached,
based on code provisions from other communities. This is to provide you with measures should you
wish to include residential generation figures either at this time or at some later date as part of
another section of the code that expands on SDD requirements. In a further consideration, you may
also want to insert a section into the SDD Code that requires construction impacts to be addressed;
however, it is our opinion that to try to create a formula to address what amounts to a seasonal
problem, and one that is often of limited duration, is difficult.
As shown in the attached report, there is wide variation in the numbers of employees that are
typically generated by various types of commercial activity. As a result, we believe that the formula
should differentiate between several categories of commercial activity. Ideally, you would identify
enough categories to cover the majority of applications, but not try to create so many subcategories
that we imply a level of precision in our measurements that we do not actually have. In addition,
we feel that the requirement should be expressed as a range (as Aspen does it) with the opportunity
for a particular applicant to justify the anticipated employment activity that will be generated by the
proposed use, or mix of uses.
We have chosen the categories of employment that are shown in the chart (for example, retail-
grocery, liquor, convenience; or office-financial) based on our analysis. We found that there is wide
variation in the employment generation rates that are found in resort communities within a single
broad category such as "offices." Many codes do not make this distinction, but we felt that it was
important in Vail to anticipate that employment rates will vary between, say, a grocery store and a
ski shop. Both might be called "retail" but the standards should anticipate the diversity that exists,
and ideally should be tied to the actual data collected from the resort towns.
We have shown a fairly wide range on the table that follows below, which could be adjusted to be
made narrower, closer to a "mean", or average. The range around the mean could be utilized by
staff as a standard basis or criteria in the review. The applicant, if he/she believes the particular
mean is not representative of his project, could then prepare and submit a report which documents
anticipated employment as a part of the SDD (or any other Town process) application. Because one
can anticipate that there will be pressures to underestimate employment it may be desirable to provide
some guidelines in the code as to content and expertise required to prepare a report. For example,
the report should present anticipated gross square feet and an estimate of "usable area." This should
then be tied to estimates of employees expected to be generated by the type of use. Finally, the
applicant should be required to indicate why the requested standards deviate from the adopted Town
averages (if they do), and to present some documentation of rationale based either on current local
employment, examples from other comparable communities and/or land uses, and any other
documentation that is deemed relevant. The report could be required to be prepared by a "qualified
professional" (many ordinances have this requirement). The report would then be reviewed by the
PEC and Town Council as part of the overall SDD.
ROSALL REMMEN CARES
PLANN1NG URBAN DESIGN AND RESEARCH
In the numbers that we have provided to you it is important to remember that the estimates were
prepared during the peak season. There is also multiple job holding that occurs, meaning that the
new employee at a retail shop is likely to be working a second job. We have taken the multiple job
holding into account in our standards, but have not tried to reconcile differences between summer
and winter employment. We suggest that this be done through the percentage standard that you
adopt (35 percent, 30 percent or whatever).
On the following page we have presented several categories of uses and a range of employment
figures to serve as a base for discussions. As shown, we feel that it is important to differentiate
lodge units from other types of new construction, especially in Vail, and these employment impacts
are probably most easily measured using numbers of rooms. Further, we find that there are three
identifiable "tiers" or thresholds of lodging employment that should be anticipated. Our formulas
take the existing "real world" variations into account.
We hope that this outline of standards, together with the supporting report, assists in your discussions
concerning the appropriate requirements and approach for the Town. There is considerable data
available to support our conclusions and we will be happy to provide additional information should
the need arise.

EMPLOYMENT GENERATION RATES
A Background Analysis Based on Survey Research
June 1991
ROSALL RF1vII~ff.N CARFS
EMPLOYMENT GENERATION RATES
INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of survey research conducted in several ski/tourism communities.
It reviews the results from questionnaires addressed to employers that, among other topics, explored
the relationship between the number of square feet (s.f.) in the commercial establishment and the
number of employees working in the particular business. These surveys were conducted in Eagle
(136 interviews), Routt (174), Summit (242), Pitkin (169), and Blaine (Sun Valley/Ketchum-162
interviews) Counties and Estes Park (224). The sample includes 1,107 commercial and governmental
establishments ranging in size from the smallest to largest in the various counties.
This information is presented to the Town of Vail to assist in discussions concerning the appropriate
standards for adoption into proposed Code amendments, with particular application to the SDD
process. A number of different "cuts" at the data are presented that allow overall total measures to
be developed, along with some figures describing the situation in Eagle County, and specifically
within the Town of Vail.
In addition to the various commercial/employment figures, several other attachments have been
provided. These include:
• Excerpts from a report that provides an overview of "linkage" programs and
describing the status of such programs in a variety of commutities. Linkage is a
term that is used to describe codes or requirements that tie new development to
requirements for providing funds or mitigation to meet the identifiable impacts
associated with the new development. Such programs are in various stages of
evolution, and are relatively uncommon in the mountain towns. Nevertheless, there
are proven examples that merit attention.
• A summary of the current Aspen and Pitkin County Affordable Housing Guidelines
for determining "Generation of Employee Units" by various land use categories.
• An excerpt from a field survey of establishments conducted by the Director of
Community Development in the Town of Breckenridge. It is showing employment
levels that are similar w those being obtained through the RRC study.
~NDWGS AND CONCLUSIONS
As shown in the Appendix tables and in the graphs on the following pages; there is wide variation
in the number of employees generated by the various types of commercial activity. For example,
the Figures portray the average number of employees per 1,000 square feet by business type, and
they also show the average number of square feet per employee (both calculations combine two
different measures of commercial activity). The average number of employees in retail businesses
in the ski/tourist towns surveyed is 11.3 but the number of reported employees ranges from 1 to 155
per establishment. Obviously, it is difficult to generate a single measure that will perfectly describe
the situation within the wide range of retail establishments that exist. Similarly, the average number
of employees per 1,000 s.f. was found to be 4.36, but it also showed wide variation.
ROSALL RD~SFN CARES PAGE 1
EMPIAYMENT GENERATION RATES
The figures portray results based on the aggregate of all the resort communities. Although there was
discussion of developing standards based on just Eagle County or Town of Vail employment patterns,
the wide variation in businesses makes it difficult to develop a measure based only on local data.
The regulations that were adopted in Aspen reflect the variations in employment levels by
establishing ranges rather than fixed measures for several of the employment categories. On the
other hand, some communities have chosen a single standard that they apply to all categories of
business. Based on the data, the Town of Vail may want to consider an approach that uses a range.
The results summarized in Figure 1 show that bar/restaurants, real estate, and construction all have
relatively large numbers of employees per square footage. In general, the employment numbers from
the resorts are somewhat higher than some traditional measures that have been generated in other
types of communities. We attribute the higher figures to the ski economy in general, and to the fact
that these surveys were conducted during the peak winter months. The retail economies in the ski
towns have been strong over the past several years resulting in relatively high employment levels per
establishment, especially for those businesses that are centrally located.
Iin addition, it should be remembered that we are measuring the total number of employees at a point
in time. Many of these individuals may be working multiple jobs (we found an average of about
1.35 jobs per person) so there is some double counting that is taking place when the entire set of
businesses is considered. We suggest that the tables that are adopted in Vail should reduce
employment levels to address multiple job holding in the formula itself. This calculation has been
done in the table that was provided to the Town under separate cover.

In addition to compiling figures on square footages, RRC tabulated data describing the employment
pattern within the County and the Town of Vail. These results aze based on data provided by the
State describing all businesses in the County that maintain unemployment insurance. These results
show that within the County, the retail sector represents about 33 percent of all businesses, and about
27 percent of all jobs. In the Town of Vail the retail sector represents about 40 percent of businesses
and about 30 percent of jobs. These results aze useful and important in that they indicate in which
sectors most of the development activity will occur.

The measurements for lodging should probably be based on rooms rather than squaze footages.
Again; the data indicate wide variations with several facilities having about one employee per 10
rooms, while others aze at more than one employee per room. Vail properties aze especially likely
to have higher employment ratios. As shown in the attachments, the Breckenridge research showed
.8 employees per room. Overall, the RRC database showed 1.09 employees per room. However,
if just the permanent full-time employees aze considered, the ratio drops sharply to .26 employees
per room, or close to the one employee per three rooms figure that has been used by some
professionals in past estimates.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: August 27, 1991
SUBJECT: A request to create a new Chapter 18.57 of the Municipal Code -Employee
Housing, to provide four types of employee housing units and to set specific
development/zoning standards for employee housing units.
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Mike Mollica/Jill Kammerer
I. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
In January, 1990, the Town of Vail, assisted by the consulting firm of Rosall, Remmen, Cares
(RRC), of Boulder, Colorado, began the task of developing an affordable housing study for the
Town. A goal of the study was to provide a series of policies and recommendations
addressing the community's need for expanding the supply of affordable housing for both
year-round and seasonal, local residents. The Town Council immediately established a
Housing Task Force. Council appointments to the Task Force included representation from
the Council, the Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC) and members of the community
at large. Following months of study, work sessions and public hearings with the Council and
the PEC, the Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study was unanimously approved (by a vote of
6-0) by the Town Council on November 20, 1990.
On August 12, 1991, the Planning and Environmental Commission, by a vote of 6-0,
unanimously recommended approval of the staff's proposed changes to the zoning code to
allow for the provision of employee housing units (EHUs) within certain zone districts. The
proposed Ordinance would provide for the following:
1. The creation of a new Chapter 18.57, entitled Employee Housing.
2. The addition of two new definitions, which shall be included in the definition
Chapter of the Municipal Code (18.04), entitled "Employee Housing Unit" and
"Bathroom."
3. The provision of four types of employee housing units and setting forth the
details with regard thereto. The employee housing unit types shall be
designated as Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV.
1
II. DISCUSSION
1. Currently, the application fee for a conditional use permit is $200. As proposed
in the attached ordinance, the Type II, Type III and Type IV employee housing
units would all require a conditional use permit. The issue here is whether the
Town should waive the conditional use permit application fee for the three types
of employee housing units listed above. Staff believes that the fee should be
waived.
2. The 250 Ordinance, as set forth in Chapter 18.71 of the Municipal Code,
currently provides for an additional 250 sq. ft. of GRFA to dwellings which meet
certain standards. One of those standards is that at least 5 years must have
passed from the date the dwelling unit was issued a Temporary Certificate of
Occupancy, or a minimum of 6 years must have passed from the date the
original building permit was issued for the construction of the dwelling unit. The
issue the staff would like to raise for discussion here is whether the Town
should allow the immediate use of the 250 Ordinance to those applicants who
would propose to apply the 250 sq. ft. of GRFA to employee housing units, as
stipulated in the development standards set for the Types I, II, III and IV
employee housing units. Staff supports the use of the 250 Ordinance without
the 5 year waiting period.
3. Attached to this memorandum is a letter from Ned Gwathmey, dated July 15,
1991, to Kristan Pritz, the Community Development Department Director for the
Town of Vail. Mr. Gwathmey's recommendation is that an additional incentive,
besides the proposed density bonus, should be granted for those applicants
proposing to add an employee dwelling unit on their property. Mr. Gwathmey
recommends that GRFA bonuses be granted to those requesting such
employee housing units.
The issue for discussion here is whether the Town of Vail should provide GRFA
bonuses for applicants proposing to add employee dwelling units on their
properties. One idea for providing this incentive would be for the Town to grant
a GRFA bonus of up to 100-150 sq. ft., and it would be required that an
applicant match this GRFA by utilizing some of the allowable GRFA for the
property.
4. The number of residents permitted per unit and restrictions, if any, related to
children born to residents during the lease.
5. May units be constructed for sale as well as rental?
6. Is it acceptable to the Council to have Type I EHUs be staff/DRB approved? If
so, what criteria should the staff/DRB use, and what is the process to be
followed with adjacent property owners. The present ordinance provides that
an applicant for a Type I EHU must provide information to the Community
Development Department so that adjacent property owners may be notified, but
it does not state what happens after that information is received by the CDD. Is
2
a notification provided before the decision, after the decision, is there a right of
appeal to the Planning Commission after the decision, etc.
7. Is it necessary to restrict the subdivision and sale of EHUs if their use is
already restricted by covenants filed on the land records lasting in perpetuity.
Why not provide for the sale of these units to employees who meet the criteria,
or the sale of these units to anyone else as long as they continue to rent to
employees?
8. What constitutes along-term lease? Is 30 days adequate?
9. How often should a property owner be required to file an employee housing

Re: Affordable Housing Units Drafted Ordinance
Dear Kristen:
The draft ordinance, specifically AHU Type 1 for Affordable
Housing in the primary/secondary zoning, lacks any incentive
other than allowing a second or third kitchen. I suggest many
owners would add a unit which would meet all the conditions
and be available for long term rental if square footage in excess
of GRFA, 425, etc., were to be given.
I suggest an employee unit cannot be much less than 400 square
feet and that the allowed 425 per unit not be applicable.
I have a number of clients who are absentee owners and would
build careta}:er or au pair units but not at the expense of reducing
their accommodations.
I think we should encourage and give incentives; otherwise,
the time/energy/paper is wasted. The end, i.e. employee accommodations,
is worthwhile.
Please don't hesitate to call if you want additional free advice.
Sincerely,
ARNOLD/GWATHMEY/PRATT ARCHITECTS, P.C.
