Status
* Vail surpassed its goal of 150 conversions and achieved nearly 200 conversions in 1994. Also staff
, analyzed air quality and found that air quality has improved in the last 3 years with the conversion
program and now Vail is one of the few Colorado sl:i resorts that complies with the Clean Air Act.
In 1995, staff will again implement an incentive program in the summer which will be focused on
converting dirty burning units in guest accommodations.
Complete tfie Vael Waaer Quality Study.
Status
* To date, water quality sampling has occurred at four locations representative of different land uses:
Vail Village parking structure, golf course, residential and a commercial outfall in West Vail. Also,
historical water quality data has been sNmthesized. The final report will include both policy and
engineenng solutions to impro.ve water quality. A draft report has been reviewed by staff and a final

Status
* The Eagle County landfill is filling much more quickly than expected and a comprehensive effort is
needed to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste. The Town is hoping to lead by example through the
development and implementation of an integrated solid waste management plan. The Town staff is
working on a RFQ to obtain technical assistance for this project. However, it is anticipated that
Town staff will do the actual plan and public involvement. Staff is also worl:ing with vanous
businesses in the community to place 3 recycling containers in the Village and Lionshead. We have
also implemented a To-vvn office solid Nvaste policy.

Help ensure adequate progress on the Eagle Mine clean-up process.
Status
* Staff inembers are participating in EREBA meetings, site visits, and press releases. The most recent
effort is to develop an easy to use informational pamphlet on the Eagle Mine so that the lay person
can quickly understand the issues related to the mine. Staff aze also planning to participate in the
annual fish shocking in April which is critical in determining the health of the Eagle River.
Increase the greening of the Gore Valley by planting trees, shrubs, and flowers with a special
emphasis on the I-70 corridor.

* There is no specific action to address this issue. However Public Worl:s and Community
Development staff aze worl:ing on a TreeNegetation protection ordinance. The Town currently has
a DRB regulation that requires Design Review Board approval before live vegetation can be
removed. This regulation has several problems that staff (Todd Oppenheimer, Russ Forrest, and
George Ruther) hope to correct. One key issue that we are hoping to address through this ordinance
is improved protection of riparian and wetland vegetation. Also, this ordinance will have stronger
enforcement language to protect mature trees during construction also from indiscriminate damage
while making it simpler for residents to maintain their landscape without having to obtain DRB
approval. Staff will be scheduling a work session on this issue with the Town Council in late ,
January.
* The Town supported the Trees for Vail effort again in 1994. In addition to significant staff time,
$10,000 was appropriated for this project. * We are currently worl:ing to develop a plan to revegitate the road cuts along I-70 and the frontage
roads. A portion of the scaz above Red Sandstone school was revegiated.

Andy Knudtsen, Senior Planner
DATE: April 21, 1995
SUBJECT: Vail Commons - City Market
Mr. John Cawell, Director of Real Estate for City Market, has invited the Town Council to visit
the recently opened City Market is El Jebel. Apparently, the store is state-of-the- art and he
would like to show it to the Council as an example of what could be built in Vail. Since he has
made this offer, I feel that it is important to pass the request on to Council for your information.
Staff has discussed the idea of a tour and believes that it would not be appropriate to organize a
Council tour to see one development. Other developers on the short list have developments in the
state and would probably like to show the Council the quality of their work. Unless the Council is
interested in touring existing projects of all short listed Developers, staff does not believe it is
appropriate to organize a tour to one.
If any of you are planning personal trips to Denver, Boulder or El Jebel, and would like to see
examples of the developers work, please contact me and I will be able to provide you with
directions to their proj ects.

(Vail)--1lVith the winter hibernation season ending any day now for the region's black
bear population, the Town of Vail is reminding residents and businesses to do their part
in making trash and garbage inaccessible to the bears and other wildlife. VVith
hundreds of bear sighting reports in Vail last season, Paul Reeves, the town's
environmental health officer, says the 1995 season could be even higher unless the
community.steps up measures to "animal proof" their garbage.
"The bears should begin emerging from their dens in the next week or so," said
Reeves. "Once that happens, they tend to move to the lower elevations for warmer
temperatures; however, they can't eat for a few weeks until their digestive systems
become active again." After that, Reeves said, the bears will wander about looking for
food and a suitable place to stay. In the past, numerous bears have been attracted to
neighborhood dumpsters and garbage cans for food. Reeves says it's a dangerous
mix. "Due to the new policies adopted by the Colorado Division of Vl/ildlife, bears will
be destroyed if they're found to cause problems within a residential area," he said.

Bears/Add 1 .
"We all need to take responsibility to protect our natural resources."
One of the best and easiest ways to prevent bears and other animals from getting
into your garbage is to delay taking your trash to the curb until the morning of
collection, Reeves says. Also, Reeves has some drawings illustrating ways to construct
your own bear proof structure, in addition to information on vendors who manufacture
"bear proof" garbage containers.
With help from the Division of Wildlife, the town has purchased five commercial bear
proof containers and will be placing them in several parks in the next few weeks. The
locations, at Stephen's Park, Ford Park, Pirate Ship Park and Bighorn Park were
selected based on the frequency of bear activity, Reeves said. The containers will be
designated for park use only. "If the containers become over burdened with too much
waste, they may not close properly," Reeves said. "If a bear gets into one of these
containers just once, they'll become determined to get into it again."
For more information on bear proofing efforts, contact Reeves at 479-2333, or Bill
Andree with the Colorado Division of Wildlife at 926-4424.

GUIDIPG PRIPlClPiES
as revised by particapants at the
Colorado Leadership Summit on Smart Growth and Development
1) Our vision and the procass we take to qet there should fullv develop the human potential of all our cifizens We must strive
to make our communities places vyhere all kids and adults can fully develop their human capacities - their minds and bocies.
We should work together to ensure that strong families and communities, as vuell as great educational opportunities, cultural
resources, good jobs, adequate food, clothing and health care are available for all of our citizens. Colorado communi6es must
sustain and enhance the lives of families and indviduals today and for the future.
2) We need to enhance the quaiitv of our placs. IAfe must idantify and empha.size both the physical and the human elements
of our communities that are important to us. We must make our communities more livable by keeping crime off our strBets,
making all our neighbortioods attractive, protec6ng our natural resouroes and celebrating the magnificence of our setting. We
also must cultivate an ethic of community, preseiving towms and neighbofioods vdhere wre know and care for each other, where
we respect cultural and ethnic dversity and the value of the environment, and where a child can grow tp writh a healthy body
and healthy values.
3) At the local and regional level we should better coordtnate growth planrinq with the provision oi services such as scnoois
water, infrastructure and transportation. A more cooperative effort between govemments, communities and the private sector
to make sure services accompany growth wrill guarantee the provision of services for new development, avoid duplication and .
inefficient use of services, ailow for the fairer ailocation of the cost of development, account for norFfiscal costs of develcpment, .
help encourage urtian in-fill and ciscourage sprawi, and allow us to preserve cherished arBas we may not want to develop.
Better coordination locally and regionally will also make it easier to plan for the long-term, increase citizen participation and
enhance our sense of community.
4) We need to emand the omortunities - such as better iobs education, housinq and health care - that result from arowth,
and hela Coloradans take advantaQe of those opportunities. Economic dsvelopment can and should bring many benefits to
Colorado. Cleariy, affordable housing, improved education, better healtfi and expanded job choices ought to be among the
measurable results of growth in Colorado. Just as cleariy, growth should generate increased culturai and recreational
opportunities for Colorado citizens. To the extent possible, smart growth must strengthen the identity of Colorado's diverse
neighborhoods, communities and regions. We must ernpower local govemments to attract and help create 'good° growth, artd
we must help Colorado residents - indudng louu and moderate income residents - receive the benefits rasulting from growth.
5) We need to provide the structures so that we can effecbvelv make the decisions that need to be made within each
communitv, region and the state. We must make decisions as locaily as it is pcusible for them to be effective. Therefore, we
need to identify more ways to sLopat regionai and locai priorities while simultaneousfy assuring a positive response to tha
crucial statewride issues of air quality, transportation, telecommunications, and waier quality. We need to foster collabor-ative
and supportive relationships at every level of decision-malting, by maiting govemmental structures more flexible, reducing
institutional bartiers to cooperation and input, creating more onportunities for ciuzens to be involved, cultivating partnerships
beta+een dusrent gore;rrr,ents and the private and non-pront sectors, ennpowering grass-roots activism, and taking into aabunt
overiatping areas of cammerciai or ecological interests.
6) We musi con;inuousiv reform our tax, revenue and teguiatorv frameworfc. Without creating an unpredictable regulatory
environment, we must consiantly rethink our tax and regulaton/ svucture. Fees, licwses, permits, regulatians such as zoning,
taxes and tax revenue, shoufd erxourage and empower - not impede - state, regionai and local erforts to provide services, as
weil as manage resourc,es and plan for infraswcture, telecommunicarions and land use. We aiso musi encourage
non-regulatory aoproaches sucn as coilaboraave decision-making, faciiitation and negoiiation to fasier caoperaabn and cialague.

7) We need to oroteci enhanca and cromote the vaiue of our public lands our coen soaces cur raiurat resources, our wildlife,

. regional and local govemments, community groups and the private sector in or+der to preserve assets that are valuable to our
environment, our history and our communi6es.
8) We need to foster a sustainable aaricultural economv. Agricultural lands are not merely open space. We must
aclcnowiedge the importance of Colorado's agriculture lands and communities to the state's economy, as weil as the benefits
that go beyond the primary purpose of farms and ranches such as aesthetics, cultural contributions and wildlife habitat The
development of a sustainable agricultural economy should be given emphasis in state, regional and local growth strategies.
9) We need to protect Colorado from pollution. The health of our citizens and our environment is vital to our high cuality of
life and our economic strength. Indvidual citizens, community groups, government and the private sector must collaborate to
reduce and prevent poilution and protect and conserve our natural resources, without dsregardng local circumstances or
dsrespecting private property rights.
10) We need to cantinue to develop economicallv. We need a business climate that fosters quality jobs in stable or growing
industries like telecommunications, promotes growth in areas that want it, and that allows us to withstand boom and bust
cycles. Smart growth is good business: long-range planning can help strike a balance between Colorado's "haves" and
'have-nots,° achieve economic dversity throughout tfie state and ensure a stable economy for many years into the future.
11) We must alwavs be cnnscious of the need for sustainahili . We must meet the economic, social artci enviror?mPntal
demands of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We must also worlc to
mitigate the problems related to past actions.
12) We need to foster a sustainable svstem of water manaqement in tenns of treatment storaQe and the regulation and
detertnination of usaae. Water is the most important resource in Colorado, as it applies to growth and the environment We
also need to develop a conservation ethic as a state, within communities and as indviduais.
13) Smart arowth must be an inclusive and cooaerative process. Direct citizen input at all levels of decision-making is crucial
to viable growth management Education and information about all the costs and benefits of growth as well as the needs and
valuas of dfferent communities around the state, must be available. We also must remember that the private and nort-pnofit
sectors can be very effective partners with govemment, and planning decisions should be made with as much input, support
and collaboration as possible. This is a cooperative venture, so we should share data and experiences, leam from each others'
mistakes and share in each others' sucxesses. 14) We all must be ccnscious of our riahts and resoonsibilities as indviduals. Planning decisions always must honor and
respect private property rights and the need for compensation of ail individuals, inclucing businesspeople, farmers and
ranchers. At the same time, we all must take responsibility for the impacts our private actions and dacisions have on other
inaviduals, communities or shared resources.

(Vail)--In recognition of Earth Day 1995, the Town of Vail this week has installed a set
of public recycling containers in the,Crossroads area of Vail Village. The containers
have been funded through a cooperative effort with the Vail Board of Realtors and
several local businesses. The companies, Coldwell Banker Timberline Real Estate,
Vail Realty & Rental Management and The Prudential Gore Range Properties, have
donated $400 each to cover construction of the Crossroads collection site.
The project was developed by town environmental health officer Paul Reeves to
stimulate interest and participation within the town's pedestrian core. The town is in the
process of creating a comprehensive waste management plan to address other
environmental issues valleywide. "The idea to install these containers was initially
brought to our attention by members of the public," Reeves said.__"There are a lot of
people who go out for lunch or a snack vuho want the opportunity to recycle some of the
packaging materials their food comes in," he said.
The containers have been constructed by the town's Public Works Department.

There are three compartments, one for plastic, glass and aluminum; the second for
newspaper; and the third for trash. Crews from the Town of.Vail and We Recycle will
collect and sort the materials. "The sponsoring businesses should be commended for their civic support," Reeves
said. `This partnership enables the town to expand the campaign beyond our own
dollars."
Reeves is hoping to generate sponsors for two additional containers, one for
Lionshead and a second for the Village. Businesses interested in establishing
- containers in other areas are asked to contact Reeves at 479-2333 for sponsorship

for TOV and VVTCB employees and continued townwide improvements to facilities
making them reasonably accessible. VA's training program is already in place. The
ADA law mandates that not only governments, but private businesses, too, make
"reasonable" accommodations necessary to allow the disabled to get jobs, purchase
goods and enjoy recreation. For a schedule of tomorrow's tour, or for more information,

Work Session Brsefs
Council members present: Johnston, Lapin, Navas, Shearer, Steinberg, Strauch
--Vertical Marketing/Celtic Festival
The Council heard an update from event organizers of the Vail International Celtic
Festival to be held Sept. 20-24. The annual event will be the largest pipe band
gathering in the Western U.S., drawing more than 800 pipers and drummers, plus 100
or more highland dancers. About 2,000 participants are expected and another 5,000 to
10,000 spectators. Vertical Marketing President Tom Britz made a formal request to
the Council for in-kind services from the town to include: increased bus service;
assistance with festival setup and cleanup at Ford Park; and increased security. The
Council offered support for the effort and agreed to assist with the in-kind request to
ensure the event is presented in a first-class fashion. For more information, contact
Assistant Town iVianager Pam Brandmeyer at 479-2113.
--Open Space Zoning Changes
Following a site visit to selected town-owned properties, the Council continued its
review of a list of 16 parcels which have been identified by various planning studies for
reclassification within the town's Land Use Plan for open space. The process includes
amendments to the Land Use Plan, and as a second phase, consideration of down-
zoning about 40 parcels. The recommended Land Use Plan changes will be presented
to the Planning and Environmental Commission on April 24. The reclassification will
reduce development potential on the parcels. On a related matter, the Council has
scheduled a discussion for the May 2 work session on a plan to require a vote of the
people to change the future use of lands designated as open space. For details,
contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Mortgage Guarantee Program
After hearing an update from Mark Ristow of FirstBank of Vail, the Council
enthusiastically agreed to move forward with the town's new mortgage guarantee
program. A resolution will be prepared for the May 2 Council meeting to formally
launch the program, which will accomplish two goals: 1) solve the down payment
problem many current renters encounter; and 2) leverage $2.5 million in lending funds
(more)
~
TOV Highlights/Add 1
with only $250,000 of Town of Vail funds. Here's how it will work: FirstBank has agreed
to commit up to $2.5 million over two years to fund up to 80 percent of the purchase
price of homes of $200,000 or less within the Town of Vail. The Town of Vail, in turn,
will supply the bank with a cash collateral pledge for 10 percent of the loan. The
remaining 10 percent will be provided by the purchaser as a down payment. The TOV
pledge reduces the down payment for home buyers from the conventional 20 percent,
to 10 percenf. The homes will be permanently deed-restricted as employee housing
units with an annual appreciation cap of 3 percent per year. Ristow said the bank will
liberalize its qualification criteria by allowing up to 45 percent of a borrower's income to
be applied to service debt, as opposed to the more conventional standard of 36 to 38
percent. The loans will be under a FIRM5 program, or a fixed initial rate mortgage for
the first five years, then an adjustable rate for the remaining period. The origination fee
will be reduced by the bank from 1 percent to a half percent. The program will be
aVailable to qualified buyers on a priority system. Individuals with the longest
consecutive record of employment within the town's boundaries would have first
priority, then individuals with the longest consecutive record of residency within the
town, followed by individuals who reside and are employed outside the town
boundaries, but within the Gore/Eagle valleys. Applicants also must be registered to
vote in Vail (or make provisions to change voter registration for those living outside Vail
. once the loan is approved). If a buyer defaults on the Ioan, the Town of Vail could buy
the property back to preserve the home's deed-restriction status. Council members
said the innovative program will be a valuable option for future home buyers at Vail
Commons. Once in place, the town will work with other lending institutions to create
similar programs. For details, contact Town Manager Bob McLaurin at 479-2105, or
Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Ten Year Financial Presentation in Preparation Update
The Council reviewed a 10-year budget forecast prepared by Finance Director Steve
Thompson. The document, which shows minimal growth in revenues over the next 10
years, will adequately fund current programs but won't support new programs,
Thompson said. For a copy of the forecast, or for more information, contact Thompson
at 479-2116.
--Council Reports
Paul Johnston r.eported about a meeting of the Berry Creek Recreational Authority
regarding the Berry Creek Fifth property in Edwards. The authority talked about
potential development of a day care facility on the site, in addition to increased
equestrian use. The sketch plan currently allows up to 91 units on 16.5 acres. The
plan also allows for recreation and open space on the 105-acre parcel. The land is
owned by the Town of Vail and six other local governmental entities. Vail has 60
percent ownership in the project, which was purchased in 1990 for $1.9 million.
Merv Lapin reported he attended a meeting of the Vail Valley Exchange, formerly the
Sister Cities Committee. Organizers are still waiting f.or a participation commitment
from the Town of Avon and the Beaver Creek Resort Co.

-=Citizen Participation
There was no citizen participation.
--Animal Control and Carriage Operations Ordinance . The Council voted 5-1 (Strauch against) on first reading to modify the town's animal
control ordinance. The most controversial change includes a town wide expansion of
the leash law. Current regulations require dogs to be leashed in designated areas
only, including Vail Village, Lionshead, bike paths and recreational areas. To
compensate for the town wide leash law, the new ordinance would allow for designated
free-play areas in which dogs could recreate off-leash. During public discussion of the
. proposed new ordinance, Blondie Vucich, director of the Eagle Valley Humane Society,
told the Council her board endorses the modification, calling an expanded leash law
"absolutely essential for the safety and well-being of animals." An opposing view was
presented by resident Tom Talbot, who worked as an animal control officer here in the
early 1980s. Talbot said the change would be unfair and unrealistic because existing
animal control regulations are not being enforced. An idea to create a certification
process to allow dogs to "opt out" of a town wide leash law was dropped from
consideration due to complexities of the issue as researched by Town Attorney Tom
Moorhead. Other modifications contained in the new animal control ordinance include
additional protection, enforcement and penalty actions related to dangerous dogs;
regulation of horse-drawn carriages; and an accelerated citation process to handle
barking dog complaints. The Council will consider the ordinance for final approval at its
May 2 evening meeting. The town contracts with Eagle County for animal control
services. For more information, contact Bob Slagle at 949-1568 or Tom Moorhead at
479-2107.
--Ordinance to Rezone Vail Valley Consolidated Water District Parcel from General
Use to Primary/Secondary
After a motion to appro.ve the rezoning failed 3-3 per lack of a majority vote, the Council
voted 5-0 (Shearer was absent) to continue the discussion to the May 16 evening
meeting. If rezoned, the water district board intends to sell fhe former Gore Creek
water treatment plant site, located at 967 Vail Valley Drive, to raise funds to complete a
$3.5 million capital improvement project over the next two years. Operation of the Gore
Creek plant was discontinued in 1985 when wells at the golf course came on line.
Much of the discussion yesterday centered on the Council's desire to work with the
water district in creating a mechanism to bury overhead utility lines near the property as
the land transfers from public ownership to private. For more information, contact Jim
Curnutte in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.

deed-restricted employee housing unit. For details, contact Andy Knudtsen in the
Community Development Department at 479-2138.

The Council voted 5-0 (Shearer absent) to approve a resolution designating Bank One
Wisconsin Trust Co. as a money market account for Town of Vail funds. For details,
contact Finance Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116.
--Alpine Standard/Amoco Sign Variance Request
The Council voted 5-0 (Shearer absent) to approve a sign variance for the Alpine
Standard/Amoco sign, which is being replaced as part of the roundabout project at the
Main Vail interchange. For details, contact Randy Stouder in the Community
Development Department at 479-2138. --Town Council Call-Up of Village Center Addition
The Council voted 5-0 (Shearer absent) to acknowledge the applicanYs withdrawal of
the project. For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community
Development Department at 479-2138. --Vail Valley Community Television
Councilman Merv Lapin suggested the Council consider naming a Town of Vail
representative to serve on the Channel 5 board. He also expressed interest by the
Council in creating a television program that would have Town of Vail Council members
and department heads explain town activities and programs.

Mr. Robert McLaurin
Town Manager VIA FACSIMILE
Town of Vail AND FIRST-CLASS MAII,
75 S. Frontage Road ,
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Bob:
You have asked us to advise you whether the Town can issue tax-exempt bonds to
assist in the financing of the development of property owned by the Town in West Vail. You have
indicated that the Town has solicited proposals from private developers to develop the property. The
development will include both commercial and residential uses. The residential uses will be both
owner occupied as well as rental. '
Pursuant to Title 29, Article 3, Part 1, C.R.S., the Town may issue revenue bonds to
finance projects for private persons including commercial or business enterprises and residential
facilities for low- and middle-income persons intended for use as the sole residence by the owners or
intended occupants. We believe that such revenue bonds can be issued without voter approval under
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("Amendment 1") because they. are financial
obligations ofprivate persons and not ofthe Town. Section 29-3-106, C.R.S., provides that interest
on such bonds is exempt from Colorado income tax.
Prior to 1986, municipalities and counties could issue bonds, the interest on which was
exempt from federal income tax for the types of improvements that may be constructed on the
property by the developers. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 substantially limited the purposes for which
bonds could be issued to benefit private persons. In effect, federal tax law now provides that the
following bonds are "private activity bonds": (1) (a) more than 10% of the proceeds of which are
used in a trade or business of any person other than a state or local government and (b) more than
10% of the payment of debt service of which is secured by property used in a trade or business, or
derived from payments related to property used in a trade or business, or (2) more than 5% of the
proceeds of which are loaned to one or more nongovernmental persons.
Pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), interest on private activity bonds is taxable unless an exemption is available under the Code.

Town Manager

There is no exemption available for a private activity bond issued for commercial projects under the
Code. There are exemptions available for qualified residential rental projects or mortgage revenue
bonds.
Qualified Residential Rental Project Bonds. In order to qualify under the Code, the
project must, at a1i times during the "qualined project period", meet eitner the 20-50 or the 40-60 unit
set-aside test that the Town (on behalf of the developer) would elect. The qualified project period
begins on the day on which 10% of the units in the project are occupied and ends, generally, on the
later of the date which is 15 years after the date on which 50% of the units are occupied or the date
on which no tax-exempt private activity bonds for the project remain outstanding. Under the 20-50
test, at least 20% of the units must be occupied by individuals whose income is 50% or less of the.
area median gross income, and under the 40-60 test, at least 40% of the units must be occupied by
individuals whose income is 60% or less of the area median gross income. The latest median gross
income figure released by HLJD for the area, i.e., for Eagle County, is $50,600 for a family of four.
Individual and area median incomes are adjusted by family size. This works as follows, for example,
for the 20-50 test. The income limit for a family of four would be 50% of the area median ($25,300);
the income limit for a family of three would be 45% of the area median ($22,770); the income limit
for a family of two would be 40% of the area median ($20,240); and the income limit for a single
individual would be 35% of the area median ($17,710). Similar 10% reductions would be made for
purposes of the 40-60 set-aside.
A qualified residential rental project can be a"mixed use project" that has, for
example, commercial office or retail space. Under those circumstances, the Code simply requires that
the costs of the m'viced-use facility be allocated according to a reasonable method that properly reflects
the proportionate benefits to the residential units and the nonqualifying property.
These types of bonds are also subject to certain Code requirements generally
applicable to private activity bonds, such as maturity limits, land acquisition limits, costs of issuance
limits and the rule requiring that the project be available on a regular basis for "general public use".
There are also a number of other rules that apply specifically to qualified residential rental project
bonds, such as what type of arrangement gualifies as a residential "unit",that can be discussed in the
context of a particular proposed project.
Qualified Mortgage Bonds. In order for tax-exempt bonds to be issued for the
purposes of providing financing for owner-occupied residences, the issue must meet the requirements
briefly summarized below: •
Shell°Il7111aIl71 & HoVYalCdL.L.C.
Mr. Robert McLaurin
Town Manager
Town of Vail
April 13, 1995
Page 3
(a) First-time homebuver requirement. The mortgagor cannot have had
a present ownership interest in his or her principal residence at any time during the
previous three-year period.
(b) Income limits. The family income for. a mortgagor cannot exceed
115% of the applicable median income for families of three or more, or 100% of the
applicable median income for families of fewer than three. The "applicable" median
income is the higher of the statewide median income or the area media.n income. As
noted above, the area median income for Eagle County is $50,600, which is higher
than the statewide median income. Therefore, the income limit a family of three or
more is $58,190, and the income limit for a family of fewer than three is $50,600.
(c) Purchase price limits. The acquisition cost of a residence cannot
exceed 90% of the average area purchase price. This limit is calculated separately for
single-family detached houses and for duplexes, and for new residences and for
previously occupied residences. The average area purchase price limits applicable to
Eagle County are $174,062 for a new residence and $132,830 for a previously
occupied residence. This translates into the following purchase price limits: $156,655 '
for a new single-family detached house; $119,547 for a previously occupied single-
family detached house; $176,397 for a new duplex; and $121,148 for a previously
occupied duplex.
(d) Residence requirement. The residence must be expected to become
the principal residence of the mortgagor within a reasonable time after the financing
is provided (i.e., no second or vacation homes).
There are a number of other special rules that apply to these types of bonds, but the
requirements listed above are the primary progammatic limits. As we discussed, condominiums may
be financed, but the rating agencies may impose limits on condo financings as a condition to assigning
an investment grade rating to the bonds. Mortgage financing may be provided in particular
developments, again subject to rating agency limits. However, if bond proceeds are used to provide
construction financing in a development, the bonds probably would be nonqualified private activity
bonds used in the trade or business of the developer.
A.s we also discussed, the Town would need to have an allocation of private activity
bond volume cap to issue either qualified residential rental project bonds (unless the bonds were
qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) or qualified mortgage bonds. The Department of Local Affairs will award
,
Sherman & Howard L.L.c. Mr. Robert McLaurin
- Town Manager
Town of Vail
April 13, 1995
Page 4
the remainuig volume cap following the Septembei 15 relinquishment date. Applications for an award
of volume cap will be due in August. We would be happy to assist you with the application process.
It may also be possible to issue bonds for some portion of the project which will not
be private activity bonds. One approach would be for the Town or the Housing Authority to issue
bonds to finance the rental housing. (No election would be required under Amendment 1 if we can
conclude that the activity is an enterprise.) Another approach would be to form a nonprofit
corporation to issue bonds on behalf of the Town to finance the rental project., If the corporation,
the Housing Authority or the Town owns and operates the rental housing, then the bonds would not
be private activity bonds. This is similar to financings done by Eagle County and the Town of Avon.
It also may be possible for the Town to issue bonds to construct housing which it
owns and then sell such housing to private parties and pay off the construction financing. This would
not provide any long term financing for the project.
We hope this information is helpful. Please call us if you have any questions or
comments.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. McLaurin:
The purpose of this letter is to thank the Town of Vail, and specifically Ms.
Susan H. Boyd, Assistant Director at the Vail Public Library, for getting me
out of a jam while on vacation. You see, I was in desperate need of a laser
printer to produce the necessary quality of document my business letter
required. It was also imperative that the letter be mailed on that specific
day. After visiting three print shops and calling three more, I learned that
the only place that has an IBM compatible laser printer is the Vail Public
Library.
After describing my urgent situation (the need to print a letter, then get to
the slopes where 12 inches of fresh powder-had fallen the night before), Ms.
Boyd was very accommodating. In today's world of ever changing technology,
it is very challenging to stay up to speed. However, I feel that the library,
whether in Vail or Houston, should stay as close to the cutting edge as is
financially possible.
I was very happy to find Ms. Boyd's kindness, as well as her laser printer.
Both made my annual ski trip to VaiU Beaver Creek much more enjoyable.
Sincerely,
~

The transition from ski season to construction season takes hold beginning next
iVionday (4-24) with some significant projects, particularly in the Village core. Chapel
Bridge will be closed to traffic starting Monday (4-24) and continuing through May 26
while contractors finish the $540,000 bridge replacement project. Traffic will be
detoured to VVest Forest Road and Beaver Dam Road. The remaining work on the
project includes installation of paver sidewalks, stonework, drainage, concrete
approaches and landscaping.
At the Covered Bridge in Vail Village, a crane is tentatively scheduled to lift the
landmark bridge off its support next VUednesday (4-26). The $100,000 project will
include rehabilitation of the bridge's timbers, replacement of girders and decking,
abutment improvements, installation of pedestrian guardrails, drainage work and
streambank improvements. A bypass bridge has been installed for pedestrian access.
The project is scheduled for completion by May 26.
In addition, demolition of the Golden Peak House begins next week, as well as
installation of a water line along South Frontage Road by the Upper Eagle Valley
Consolidated Water and Sanitation District. Construction of the roundabout at the Main
Vail interchange will continue, as well.
Public Works Director Larry Grafel says this will be one of the biggest construction
seasons for the town since the transportation center was built in 1989. A 24-hour
construction hotline has been established with information on these projects. The
number is 479-2477. For more information, contact Town Engineer Greg Hall at 479-
