TOWN Of 4IAJt
Notes:
Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine what time Council will
consider an item.
Public comment on any agenda item may be solicited by the Town Council.
1. DRB / PEC Update
1.1. DRB / PEC Update 5 min.
Presenter(s): Chris Neubecker, Interim Community Development Director
2. Joint Meeting with Vail Local Housing Authority
2.1. Discussion of Town of Vail Housing Policies 90 min.
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom,
Chair, Vail Local Housing Authority
Action Requested of Council: The desired outcome of this joint session is to
identify, and subsequently ratify, housing policies that increase the supply of
resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes which will result in the Town
realizing its vision to be the premier international mountain resort community
and achieve its goal of acquiring 1,000 net new deed restrictions by the
year 2027.
Background: It has been more than two decades since the Town of Vail has
taken a comprehensive look into its adopted housing policies. During that
time, substantial changes have occurred within the community and region
affecting the availability of housing for local Vail residents. The Vail Town
Council has identified housing as one of its top priorities and actions to be
taken to maintain and sustain community within Vail.
3. Presentations / Discussion
3.1. Follow up Discussion, Re: 2018-2020 Council Action Plan
Presenter(s): Greg Clifton, Town Manager
Action Requested of Council: Provide direction to staff to complete update
of Town Council Action Plan.
Background: During Town Council's retreat on May 15, 2018, a review of
goals, initiatives and priorities took place in the three focus areas identified
previously by Town Council: Community, Economy and Experience. A
fourth focus area was introduced during the session — Sustainability —
which proposes to incorporate the topics of environment, social & cultural,
resiliency, technology, transportation, human capital and core town
services. The topics represented in the new Sustainability area have largely
been extrapolated from the other focus areas.
Staff Recommendation: The Town Council is asked to review the updated
draft of the Action Plan which has incorporated comments provided at the
45 min.
June 5, 2018 - Page 1 of 83
May 15 session, as well as provide additional thought and comment on the
proposed Sustainability focus area.
3.2. Proposal for Parking Space Rental Program 20 min.
Presenter(s): Shelly Jarnot
Action Requested of Council: Informational only.
Background: This is a presentation of a proposal to help address Vail's
parking which would allow for rental of existing, underutilized parking
spaces. The Vail Town Code currently prohibits short-term rental of parking
spaces. Is council willing to reevaluate this section of the code, and to make
a change to allow for short-term parking space rental? Vail Town Code
regulates the leasing of parking spaces in Title 12, Chapter 10, Section 17.
3.3. An update on the Climate Action Collaborative and introduction of the new 20 min
project manager to the Vail Town Council.
Presenter(s): Kristen Bertuglia, environmental sustainability manager, Adam
Palmer, Sustainable Communities Director, Kim Schlaepfer, CAC Project
Manager
Action Requested of Council: There is no action requested of Council at
this time.
Background: The Town of Vail is a stakeholder and supporter of the Climate
Action Plan (CAP) for the Eagle County Community, and a member of the
Climate Action Collaborative via Resolution No. 40, Series of 2017. With
local community support, Walking Mountains Science Center has hired Kim
Schlaepfer to implement the tasks associated with the CAP, and manage the
stakeholder group in order to achieve the adopted carbon emissions
reduction goals of 25% by 2025 and 80% by 2050.
Staff Recommendation: There is no staff recommendation at this time.

1. Call to Order
Present: Brian Gillette, Brian Stockmar, John -Ryan Lockman, Karen Perez,
Pam Hopkins, Rollie Kjesbo
Absent: Ludwig Kurz
2. Main Agenda
2.1. A request for the review of the following two (2) variances: 1.) a variance from 30 min.
Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail
Town Code, to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area to
be covered by driveways and surface parking; and 2.) a variance from
Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for more than
one (1) curb cut per unit, located at 2841 Basingdale Boulevard/Lot 3, Block
8, Vail Intermountain Development Subdivision, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC18-0020)
ApplicantiVlichael & Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual I mpax
Planner: Matt Panfil (presented by Jonathan Spence)
Planner Spence introduced the applicant's request to the PEC. There are
two different variances being requested by the applicant, including a variance
to allow for more than 10% of the total site area to be covered by driveways
and surface parking, and a variance to allow for more than one curb cut per
unit. A similar application was presented to the PEC on April 9, 2018. Spence
explained that the access to the garage has now been turned, thereby
removing the third variance request for minimum horizontal distance between
a garage door to the edge of public street pavement.
Scott Handler with Visual Impax, Applicant, presented diagrams and
renderings completed to date. Handler explained because of the parking
easement, in order for a garage to work within the challenging site, the
variance has been requested, plus an additional curb -cut. The garage is
designed parallel to the street for ease of turning movements. Handler showed
a steep slope exhibit with contours plus photos around the property. He
explained that with the challenge of the setback requirements and easements,
Visual I mpax designed the house to embed itself within the natural contours of
the topography. Handler then showed renderings with the nearby fire hydrant
to the east side of the garage. The applicant obtained approval from Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and Vail Fire Department to
build the garage close to the fire hydrant.
Commissioner Gillette asked if the current owners have talked with the
adjacent neighbors about the parking easement.
Commissioner Perez asked if the neighbors would be in agreement with an
amendment to the easement.
June 5, 2018 - Page 12 of 83
Spence stated the neighbors may not want to amend the easement at this
time. Spence mentioned it is not under the PEC's purview to revise the
existing easement. At this time, the holder of the easement does not wish to
alter the agreement.
Commissioner Gillette that stated these are the questions the PEC asked to
the previous applicant and still need to be provided answers with:
• Have you talked to the adjacent owners?
• How many parking spots do the condos next doors need?
• How many cars fit on their property?
Scott Handler stated his approach is that there would be no space for the
adjacent properties to park, if removed. Commissioner Perez clarified the
applicant would not be removing two of the four spots, because those belong
to the property owner.
Commissioner Stockmar summarized that there is a lot of concern about the
overall proposal and easement questions that have not been answered. The
proposal must meet the requirements of the code. He does not believe the
applicant currently has answers to the questions Commissioner Gillette asked.
Handler responded that everything about the project is within the zoning code
regulations, with the exception of the two variances. He reminded the PEC
that this property has been presented to the PEC once before by a different
architect.
Commissioner Stockmar stated that parking is the major issue and must be
addressed with this application before moving forward. Handler responded
that the people who own the condo building may not alter their agreement.
Spence stated if the easement owner does not wish to alter the easement at
this time, then they do not have to alter the private agreement.
Chris Neubecker, Interim Director, asked the PEC to clarify their concerns
about the application and the parking easement.
Commissioner Gillette asked why the applicant cannot flip the garage to the
other side to face the existing parking area and move the fire hydrant into the
right of way. Handler responded there is a plan to move the fire hydrant in
2019.
Commissioner Perez responded to Neubecker and stated two parking spaces
within the easement are granted for the applicant, thereby granting the
applicant six parking spaces. Commissioner Gillette stated he would like to
see pictures of how many cars are currently parked in the parking spaces.
Spence stated if the PEC were to table the application, staff would like the
PEC to inform them of specifically what the PEC needs to see for this
application upon its return.
Commissioner Gillette would like to see a better depiction of the easement
parking spaces. The two property owners should get together and work out
the easement. Additionally, he stated an analysis should be done of flipping
the garage.
Handler mentioned the owner of the adjacent property does not want to lose
their parking. Spence responded to Gillette's previous comment about how
Public Works supports the current garage configuration.
June 5, 2018 - Page 13 of 83
Handler continued his prepared presentation of 3D renderings as well as a
movie to show how the house fits within the natural grade. He stated
everything else complies, if he could get the variance for the curb cut and
parking. He had a lawyer look at an easement language and the applicant
cannot change it unless the adjacent property owner agrees to the change.
Commissioner Gillette stated if the applicant flips the garage and takes
access from the existing easement, it would minimize the variance request.
Commissioner Stockmar agreed with Gillette to flip the garage and move the
hydrant, thereby lessening the impact to the development lot.
Spence clarified the three things being asked by the PEC. The PEC would
like to see:
1. Sketch of the site
2. Photos of site and parking
3. A better understanding of the discussion between the property
owner and adjacent property owner.
Commissioner Gillette stated the PEC is not allowed to grant a special
privilege. The PEC cannot allow private easements to dictate the zoning
code. He would like clarity and options shown to the PEC. Right now the
PEC does not have the proper information to make a decision.
Commissioner Lockman stated it would be helpful to have the adjacent owner
at the next meeting. The PEC wants a clearly defined future for the two
parking spaces. Hearing from the adjacent owner would be helpful.
Commissioner Hopkins suggested if the applicant reduced the size of the
turnaround space, it might help if the applicant put landscaping in the area,
which now shows 642 SF total of driveway on the existing site plan. She
suspects this can be reduced by 150-200 SF if a hammerhead driveway is
created.
Handler responded that the lot drops off behind the fire hydrant due to the
slope. Public Works stated they wanted a 20 foot turning radius. Without the
space to maneuver, it would be challenging.
Commissioner Lockman asked "what if the applicant amended the easement
by giving their two parking spaces away?" Commissioner Gillette responded
stating the preference is to provide the condos with four parking spaces and
show this through a drawing.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Kathy Langenwalter stated that having not seen the previous submittal, would
it not be possible to elevate the garage to take care of Public Works concerns
and to minimize the footprint?
COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS
Lockman — In agreement with other Commissioners to reduce site impact and
land. In agreement to reduce the variances being granted. Wants more clarity
of how the other two parking spaces will be used.
Handler asked if he were to give away his two parking spaces, does it help
his argument?
June 5, 2018 - Page 14 of 83
Spence stated the applicant is creating more of a hardship by giving away
two spaces.
Hopkins — Would like applicant to study the driveway more, either with
Langenwalter's suggestion or with Hopkins' suggestion.
Kjesbo — Stated the owner of the fourplex owned the adjacent lot created the
easement, then sold the lot realizing its diminishing value.
Perez — Does not meet criteria to grant a variance.
Stockmar — Does not see this as the solution to grant a variance. Two
alternatives were stated; either ask to table this item then return with a series
of solutions, or ask for a vote now.
Applicant requests the PEC to table to June 11 meeting.
John -Ryan Lockman moved to table to June 11, 2018. Brian Gillette
seconded the motion and it passed (6-0).
Absent: (1) Kurz
2.2. A request for a review of a prescribed regulations amendment to Section 14- 90 min.
10-6, Residential Development, Vail Town Code, to allow the Design Review
Board (DRB) to apply different design review standards in situations when
two-family dwellings appear as separate and distinct development lots, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0005)
ApplicantArosa Partners LLC, represented by Brad Hagedorn
Planner: Justin Lightfield
Planner Lightfield introduced the applicant's request and provided
background information on the request. Lightfield spoke to the history of the
subject regulations and how the DRB has administered the regulation. The
request has been reviewed by the DRB and Lightfield spoke to their
response, including their concerns.
Lightfield spoke to how the staff report is structured, weighing pros and cons
and not making a recommendation, per se.
The applicant, Brad Hagedorn, spoke to his request and how it is only related
to separated duplexes and not to other types of development. The request
would allow different architectural approaches to separated duplexes that
appear to be on separate development lots.
Hagedorn pointed out the proposed criteria that would allow such different
approaches. He discussed why he believes this in the best interest of the
Town to change the regulation. He discussed how he feels that separated
duplexes will not improve their properties, pointing to a "prisoner's dilemma".
Hagedorn discussed the process of a separation duplex and how this will
remove the boundaries to homeowners improving their property.
Commissioner Kjesbo spoke to the example provided on Arosa and his
thoughts on that case when it came before the DRB. Hagedorn provided a
response that he did not feel that approach is optimal.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Kathy Langenwalter mentioned she came before the PEC as a former PEC
June 5, 2018 - Page 15 of 83
and DRB member. She handed out exhibits including a map that
demonstrated what lots in her neighborhood could be affected by this change
in the code and the concerns resulting from this change. She also spoke to
the difference between complementary and unified. She discussed her
reasons for objecting to the proposal and the possible results of the change
including grants of special privilege, a cluttered visual approach, a decrease
in DRB authority, and a change to area demographics. She spoke to what
she feels are actually changes to the separation criteria.
Dick Cleveland provided comments on the proposal based on his participation
on various boards. He cautioned about text amendments that benefit an
applicant. He spoke to the improper subdivision of the Arosa property. He
discussed the result of the amendment which would be different standards for
attached vs un -attached duplexes. Cleveland discussed the history of this
issue and how it has largely worked in the past and the unforeseen and
foreseen consequences of changing the approach. He stated he does not
feel that the changes meet the required criteria for approval and
recommended that the PEC forward a recommendation of denial.
Jack Snow spoke to his support for the proposal. He discussed what he feels
is a misstatement of the intent that this would lead to more separation,
although he does not feel more separations are a problem. He mentioned that
he feels the request is simply to give the DRB more flexibility and freedom.
Ron Byrne spoke to the dilemma in front of the PEC. He discussed
Langenwalter's and Cleveland's comments and his understanding of them.
Byrne mentioned the need to allow the flexibility and a more subjective
approach from the DRB. He stated he feels degradation in quality may result
if flexibility is not given. He spoke to the creation of a cyclical process of bad
architecture if we are always chasing the architecture of the other unit.
Mike Farr spoke to his support of the proposal.
Debbie Gibson Curtis, representing others at Slifer Smith & Frampton Real
Estate, spoke to her support for the proposal, especially for those properties
along Beaver Dam and Forest Road that deserve some lenience.
COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS
Kjesbo - Spoke to the importance of compatibility and not the need or desire
to match. He does not support the proposed text amendment.
Gillette - Agrees with Commissioner Kjesbo one -hundred percent. Feels the
photos provided by Kathy Langenwalter and Brad Hagedorn illustrate the
problem, not the solution.
Perez - Agrees with Commissioners Kjesbo and Gillette but recognizes the
hardship when the other owner does not wish to upgrade. She is concerned
about unintended consequences that could be seen as a result of the text
amendment.
Hopkins - Feels that this is a grab of special privilege not to be a duplex She
stated she believes the PEC should keep the standards the way they are
currently, without the text amendment.
Lockman - Has struggled with the request. He believes that with an aging
housing stock there will be a need for a change in the regulations. He feels
June 5, 2018 - Page 16 of 83
that compatibility is necessary and supports the DRB exercising some
flexibility. He feels that the shared ownership issue will have to be addressed
at some point and does not support the proposal.
Kathy Langenwalter added additional comments concerning how the criteria
are actually working.
Brad Hagedorn - Spoke to how the incentive to separate duplex units is
already in existence in the code and that this proposal does not increase that.
He feels that compatible has largely meant matching from his experience.
Gillette - Spoke to how the composition of the board has an effect on its
outcomes. He feels they are doing their jobs.
Stockmar - Spoke to this being a Pandora's box He does not know how
many properties will be affected by the text amendment and feels the
approach is overly broad. He believes that the current regulations have been
largely successful.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion of Town of Vail Housing Policies
PRESENTER(S): George Ruther, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom, Chair, Vail Local
Housing Authority
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The desired outcome of this joint session is to identify,
and subsequently ratify, housing policies that increase the supply of resident -occupied, deed -
restricted homes which will result in the Town realizing its vision to be the premier international
mountain resort community and achieve its goal of acquiring 1,000 net new deed restrictions by the
year 2027.
BACKGROUND: It has been more than two decades since the Town of Vail has taken a
comprehensive look into its adopted housing policies. During that time, substantial changes have
occurred within the community and region affecting the availability of housing for local Vail
residents. The Vail Town Council has identified housing as one of its top priorities and actions to
be taken to maintain and sustain community within Vail.

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Vail Local Housing Authority
George Ruther, AICP, Housing Director
Date: June 5, 2018
Subject: Joint Session — Vail Town Council & Vail Local Housing Authority:
Town of Vail Housing Policies Discussion
I. Executive Summary
The Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority must work collaboratively to help
the Vail community realize its vision to be the Premier International Mountain Resort
Community. While many factors positively contribute to achieving this vision, maintaining and
sustaining community through the creation of resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes is a top
priority and critical action of the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority. As
such, appropriate levels of resources, including, staffing, funds and time, shall be invested in
programs and initiatives which yield a demonstrated increase in the supply of resident -occupied,
deed -restricted homes. That said, the town staff must take proactive steps to increase the
supply, affordability and availability of resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes in Vail and the
Eagle River Valley.
11. Purpose
This memorandum sets forth a list of draft housing policy statements which, upon adoption, will
help the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority effectively address the
resident -occupied, deed -restricted housing needs of the Vail community. The purpose of these
policy statements is to:
• support the Town's housing goals and expectations,
• express which methods the Town and its partners will pursue to achieve the adopted
housing goal of acquiring 1,000 new deed restrictions by the year 2027,
• help inform decision making that results in the implementation of housing solutions,
• articulate the important role of housing in addressing the economic and environmental
sustainability of the Vail community, and
• ensure that there is an adequate supply of housing in close proximity to employment,
transportation, and community facilities, such as schools.
The Vail Town Council, acting upon input from the Vail community, has acknowledged that
maintaining and sustaining community through the creation of resident -occupied, deed -
1
June 5, 2018 - Page 20 of 83
restricted homes is a top priority action. It is widely acknowledged that the long-term continued
success and viability of Vail relies heavily upon maintaining and sustaining community.
The desired outcome of this joint session is to identify, and subsequently ratify, housing
policies that increase the supply of resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes which will
result in the Town realizing its vision to be the premier international mountain resort
community and achieve its goal of acquiring 1,000 net new deed restrictions by the year
2027.
III. Housing Program Successes and Opportunities
The Town of Vail has realized many resident -occupied, deed -restricted home development and
program successes. These successes have been a direct result of community engagement,
political support and innovative approaches to addressing the need for deed -restricted homes.
Like many other mountain resort communities, Vail has implemented commercial linkage and
inclusionary zoning requirements, imposed mitigation of development impact fees and applied
similar reactive responses to the housing challenge. And, like many other mountain resort
communities, Vail continues to experience significant housing needs. To be successful, Vail
must continue to be proactive, innovative, willing to think differently, and boldly approach the
housing challenge.
Recent examples of Vail housing program successes include:
• Lion's Ridge Village Apartments (112 homes)
• Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan
• Vail InDEED (10 homes)
• Chamonix Vail Neighborhood (32 homes)
• Timber Ridge Village redevelopment (98 homes)
Not every housing effort or initiative has been successful. In fact, some have failed. Over the
past 30 years, several of the Town's housing policies and initiatives have resulted in
underperforming outcomes. For example, the Pitkin Creek Village deed restriction terms
resulted in resident -occupied homes for a temporary period of time, after the initial seven year
sunset, the homes converted to the free market. Similarly, the Town's inclusionary zoning and
commercial linkage requirements address only 30% of net new jobs created as a result of new
development, thereby leaving the community to address the remaining 70%. Likewise, the
Town's policy on fee -in -lieu payments simply shifted the onus of providing deed -restricted
homes from the developer to the Town. Further, evolving deed restriction terms created
instances whereby deed -restricted homes are allowed to remain unoccupied and vacant. These
examples, and many others like them, merely illustrate the ever changing environment that is
housing policy and reinforces the importance that the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local
Housing Authority revisit the Town's housing policies on a regular basis. In fact, it has been
successfully demonstrated that new housing solutions and opportunities arise as circumstances,
conditions and housing policy adapt over time.

IV. Roles and Responsibilities
The Housing Authority's role, as a commission appointed by the Vail Town Council, and further
authorized by the State of Colorado (C.R.S. 29-4-209), among other matters, is to consult and
advise the Vail Town Council on housing matters including forwarding recommendations on
each, or all of the following topics:
• housing policy • program administration
• implementation strategy • funding options
• land use regulation • project management
• negotiation strategy • financing alternatives
The Vail Town Council shall be the final decision maker on these important policy matters.

The most recent statement regarding housing policy in the Town of Vail is outlined in the Vail
Housing 2027 Strategic Plan. In this case, a single policy statement was articulated and
adopted by the Vail Town Council. According to the Strategic Plan,
"the Town of Vail acknowledges that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for
Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate
supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in
the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and
sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government."
This policy statement, while subtle in some instances, and more direct in others, is reflective of
an ever evolving and dynamic history of the housing policies of the Town of Vail. This most
recent statement highlights a number of key acknowledgements by the Vail Town Council.
3
June 5, 2018 - Page 22 of 83
They include:
• Acquiring deed restrictions (the goal) is equally, if not more important, than acquiring
entire homes (the method). The financial investment and implications of acquiring entire
homes is very different than acquiring deed restrictions.
• For years, providing places for employees to live (workforce housing) was the primary
focus of the Town's housing policy. It was all about providing places for "jobs to sleep at
night". Over time, this policy has evolved its focus towards maintaining and sustaining
community.
• The Town's more recent policy statement also places emphasis on the supply and
availability of homes for residents. This too is an important consideration. For years, the
term "affordable housing", with income limitations and price appreciation caps carried the
conversation. The unfortunate fact remains, the availability and affordability of homes in
a resort community is relative and all segments of the market are in need of housing
opportunities.
• There has never been a doubt that one of the many roles of local government is to
provide appropriate and adequate infrastructure in our communities. Only recently,
however, has housing been acknowledged as infrastructure worthy of the public sector's
involvement in resort communities. Not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer, housing
is of equal importance and demands equal attention and resources if a resort community
is to be viable and sustainable over time.
• Housing is more than an issue to be addressed by either the private sector or the public
sector. It is, by all accounts, a community -wide issue. And, like other issues which face
a community as a whole, its solution, and resulting community -wide benefits, requires
engagement and participation from the entire Vail community. Success is highly unlikely
if the problem is left on the shoulders of a select unfortunate or overly burdened few. In
Vail's case, the entire community includes tax payers, guests, year-round and part-time
residents, large and small employers, developers, regional partners, employees, etc.
VI. Policy Development
Adopting policy statements is an important step organizations should take to increase overall
effectiveness and efficiency in realizing its vision and achieving its goals. Generally stated, a
policy or policy statement is simply an acknowledgement of the acceptable method(s) for the
way things are done within an organization. There are a number of key questions which an
organization should answer when developing policies. These key steps and questions include:
• What is the identified need for the policy/policies? Why are they important?
• Who is responsible for determining the policy/policies?
• Who are the stakeholder groups that must be included in the policy development
process?
• What are the draft policy statements? Do the policy statements achieve the goal? Are
the policies aligned with the desired outcomes?
• How are the policies implemented into day to day operations, procedures and practice?
What are the specific tasks or strategies that should be taken?
4
June 5, 2018 - Page 23 of 83
• Are the policy outcomes measurable, quantifiable and objective? What is the definition of
success?
• Which existing policies should be kept? Which need amending? Which policies are
irrelevant or no longer pertinent and applicable? What policies are missing?
VII. General Housing Policy Statements (draft)
The Vail Local Housing Authority has met to review existing housing policies in the Town of Vail.
To facilitate this joint housing policy discussion, the Housing Authority offers the following draft
policy statements as a point of departure for the discussion. These statements were derived
from past and current housing policies acknowledged by the Town of Vail. This discussion is
the first comprehensive look into the Town's housing policies in more than two decades. What
followings below is draft for discussion purposes only: (the letters in parenthesis refer to existing
policy statements in Section VIII of this memorandum)
#1 Recognize the solutions to increasing the supply of deed -restricted homes require
regional approaches.
(A,U)
#2 Acknowledge that deed -restricted homes are critical infrastructure in a resort
community.
(B,I,J,N,O,R,X,Y,AA)
#3 Create a favorable environment for private sector participation and investment in
deed -restricted homes in Vail as well as within the region.
(D,E,K)
#4 Utilize the Town's financial strength to facilitate the creation of deed -restricted homes.
(F,L,S)
#5 Ensure adopted land use regulations (i.e. density, parking, etc.) align with the vision
and goal and to ensure the thorough, timely and efficient review of development
applications which increase the number of deed -restricted homes in Vail.
(P, Q, V, Z)
#6 Establish a predictable, consistent and reliable source of funding to obtain deed
restrictions and maintain the Town's housing programs.
(M)
5
June 5, 2018 - Page 24 of 83
#7 Implement a clear, equitable, and easy to administer process for housing lottery
selection and ensure opportunity and ease of access for all to adopted housing
programs and initiatives.
(T)
#8 Support a policy of no net loss of resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes in Vail.
(H)
#9 Adopt housing mitigation regulations and requirements which place an appropriate
amount of obligation on incremental new development to offset the impact created on
housing demand within Vail.
(C,G,W)
VIII. Town of Vail Housing Policy
Vail's housing policies have evolved over time. This evolution, in large part, is the result of ever
changing demands on resources, needs of the community, political support, Town Council
priorities, conditions within the economic markets, and outside forces affecting the greater Vail
community. Some of the policies are direct and well articulated, while others are more subtle
and indirect. Examples of housing policies include:
A. The Town of Vail will only invest payment in lieu funds on properties located within the
Town of Vail municipal boundaries.
B. Employee housing will be equally dispersed throughout the Town of Vail.
C. Through a 50% on-site mitigation obligation, the Town will rely upon the private sector to
provide a portion of its land for the development of employee housing.
D. The Town of Vail will rely upon public/private partnerships to achieve its community
housing goals.
E. Developable land is a scarce commodity in Vail. For that reason, the Town of Vail will
lease its land rather sell its land for housing purposes. There are instances, on a case
by case basis, however, where the sale of land is deemed appropriate.
F. The Town of Vail will achieve its housing goals through the acquisition of deed
restrictions. Deed restriction acquisitions are a partial, yet effective investment in real
estate without having to fully invest in the property to achieve the desired outcome.
G. A fee in lieu payment structure will be established in response to the gap in affordability.
H. An EHU exchange program will be implemented to increase occupancy of existing
homes and replace "underperforming" deed restrictions.
I. The Town will pursue a wide range of options, pricing structures and product types to
address a wide range of market segment needs.
J. The Town will take proactive steps towards preserving and protecting the existing
affordable housing supply in Vail.
K. The private sector is an important partner. The Town will implement a streamlined
entitlement and permitting process that creates a private sector friendly business
environment.
L. Resource allocation demonstrates policy. The Town will allocate adequate financial and
staff resources to housing developments and initiatives.
6
June 5, 2018 - Page 25 of 83
M. Like land, money is a finite and scarce resource. The Town will pursue a consistent,
predictable and sustainable funding source to be dedicated to housing.
N. Newly constructed resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes will be walkable,
accessible to public transportation and otherwise located in proximity to the Town's
primary job core areas.
O. Attention will be directed to prevent or minimize the rate at which long term rentals are
converted to short term rentals or other forms of free market vacation property.
P. The provision of on-site vehicle parking adds a financial and spatial burden on the
supply of housing. Focus will remain on meeting the transportation needs of the
residents rather than merely achieving compliance with a parking requirement.
Q. Upgrading and infill development opportunities are a preferred means of addressing the
housing needs of the community. Increasing residential density was used successfully
to improve the "resort" side of premier resort community. Similarly, density will be used
to improve the "community' side of premier resort community.
R. The creation of resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes, whether through constructing
new or preserving existing, is an important contributor to maintaining and sustaining a
year-round economy, a vibrant community and healthy environment.
S. Town of Vail will rely upon its financial strength through the effective use of town capital
reserves to facilitate the creation of housing.
T. Objectives outside of income limits and net household asset verification will be used to
determine eligibility for participation in town -sponsored housing lottery selections.
U. The Town of Vail will seek alignment where appropriate and collaborate with its down
valley partner communities of Minturn, Avon, Eagle, Gypsum and unincorporated Eagle
County to broaden the availability of housing within the region.
V. The Town of Vail will implement flexibility in the application of its development fee
structure and mitigation of impacts obligations to facilitate the creation of deed -restricted
homes.
W. Incremental new development, both commercial and residential, will be required to
mitigate the impact of development and the creation of new jobs on the supply of deed -
restricted homes. Presently, 30% of the employee need for the total number of net new
jobs created is provided housing opportunities. 70% are not.
X. The Town of Vail will take a proactive vs. reactive response to identifying and
implementing housing solutions.
Y. The Town of Vail recognizes the differences between current needs and future demand
for deed -restricted homes in Vail. Therefore, both "catch up and "keep up" opportunities
for resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes will be actively pursued.
Z. The development review process and land use regulations play an important role in
determining the success of housing efforts in Vail. That said, development review
process and land use regulation reform, such as residential density bonuses, split unit
legalization, subdivision regulation amendments, streamlining the development review
process, EHU amendments, and similar forms of incentivizing the creation of deed -
restricted homes will be explored.
AA.The Town of Vail will focus its housing efforts on a diverse range of housing product
types and community needs.

Next up Ruther reviewed a draft memo outlining amendments to the lottery process and additional
lottery amendment for the May 15th Town Council meeting. Ruther asked for the Board's feedback.
Goals are to amend process criteria to improve efficiency, predictability, etc. Page 5 of the memo
provides a summary of the Town Council's comment. Council stated simpler is better, recognition
weight and tiered system needs updating, want to see change in family household size and continue to
establish and maintain a list of prospective and interested homebuyers. We would still maintain who is
interested to keep communication going with interested folks. Council supports a separate lottery
process as homes become available.
Page 2
June 5, 2018 - Page 58 of 83
Lindstrom asked for clarification on home type vs. home address.
Ruther said the Town will still require homebuyer class, a signed acknowledgement of intent around a
deed restriction and a prequalification letter from lender. This allows for full understanding of what
buyer is purchasing.
What else is there coming up with a lottery process? Council did want one that does grant preference to
certain categories of applicants. They didn't want to see preference to prior lottery participation.
Ruther referred the Board to recommendation on item #2 on page 6 of the memo "If deemed
important/relevant, how is this policy best implement? (i.e., purchase a deed restriction, allow multiple
ownership, etc.)." If applicant owns today, they agree to deed restrict the existing home and continue to
own the resale deed restriction. Ruther thinks this needs further discussion. Council's desire is to not
just trade one deed for another rather than add units. Is it an appropriate allocation of tax payer dollars
to allow one person to double dip system and allow others only get one chance to participate?
Greg Clifton, Town Manager offered comments on item 2. He has concerns about someone buying into
a subsidized unit and maintaining a free market or deed restriction. Does this create issues? He is
concerned how this would look to others in the community. Clifton wants to discuss how to best
structure this. He said didn't hear at Town Council about owners continuing to own property after
moving into a deed restriction. A deed restriction subject to the Town purchase of deed and then
property sold within X number of days. Owner would benefit from the sale of that deed restriction.
Morales trying to differentiate the lottery subsidized housing vs. Vail InDEED.
Clifton said both programs are merging together. Difference is VLHA is purchasing restriction for a cost
and VLHA now entering into a discussion of a Town built property. Clifton suggested to place deed on
existing property and then sold.
Vail InDEED is for free market homes. The lottery is for those properties for existing TOV deed
restrictions.
Wilkins said can't have a Vail InDEED property and enter lottery cannot keep both. Give time frame to
sell Vail InDEED restriction, can't have both.
Lindstrom asked if this is an incentive to allow others to get into lottery.
Clifton acknowledged potential loss of free market unit. Is there a way the Town has mechanism where
both properties are deed restricted but the owner has to sell one to be in a Town subsidized home.
Wilkins thinks we need to be prepared to discuss subsidizing. Council is going to have a hard time
separating the two situations. What extent is the Town willing to subsidize someone who is interested in
getting into the Town lottery?
The Board discussed concerns and options for ability to deed restrict one home to enter a subsidized
home.
Lindstrom asked Ruther if Council was looking for recommendation of this piece, entering the lottery.
Ruther replied yes. There was a great deal of discussion about this subject of multiple deed restrictions.
He said Council wanted to review again with Bruno was present.
Page 3
June 5, 2018 - Page 59 of 83
Wilkins recommended some language modification around item #2, deed restrict current residential
property subject to Town Council approval or deed restrict prior to close not at time of application. Upon
purchase and close then the deed restriction on the lottery unit will prevail.
Ruther asked now what after applicant wins. Preserving and protecting existing dwelling units was the
thought process the Town hadn't pursued previously.
Wilkins reiterated what is the Town's deed restriction goal. Councilman Moffet said "is purpose of the
housing program to be sure people don't double dip or preserve housing for locals". If former then
need to think about it if the later think about getting more restrictions.
Ruther suggested the Board state they don't know exactly how but we know what. What is preserving
and protecting the Toss of resident occupied non -deed restricted dwelling units. We shouldn't loose
sight of that.
#2 reads as written except adding deed restriction current residential property for employee housing,
subject to Town Council approval. If that doesn't work then come up with another way to preserve and
protect.
2. Allow current residential property owners, including vacant residential land, to participate
in the lottery with the understanding that they must either 14 -deed -restrict their current
residential property for employee housing, subject to Town Council approval, o
ewe=rtr-
Ruther discussed his lottery process take on the weighted lottery. The Board discussed different
weighted scenarios. .
The Board recommended total of 5 tickets maximum.
1. Enter lottery meeting minimum criteria = 1 ticket
2. Work in Vail = 1 ticket
3. Work in Vail 10years or more = 1 ticket
4. Live in Vail = 1 ticket
5. Live in Vail 10years or more = 1 ticket
If applicant meets all 5 criteria they get a total of 5 tickets, i.e. entries. Basis is on cumulative years in
Vail.
During the lottery all names/tickets will be placed in tumbler and all names will be pulled creating a wait
list for the sale.
Does name get stricken after name pulled with multiple tickets? Yes name pulled all other tickets
removed, don't count.
Wilkins asked when does one enter. Applications will be accepted as homes become available. Ruther
brought up the employee housing guidelines. There are certain obligations today which we need to
make sure we adhere to doing re -sale. 2 weeks ads, 2 open houses,
Morales motioned to enter Executive Session per C.R.S. §24-6-402(4)(a)(e) - to discuss the
purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of real, personal or other property interests; for
Page 4

relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations regarding: Vail InDEED applications and

MOTION: Morales
SECOND: Wilkins VOTE: 4-0 (all in favor)

consisted of Ruther and Campbell.
The Board reconvened the regular meeting at 5:06PM.
Morales reviewed the housing subcommittee will meet 1st Thursday following the first Tuesday council
meeting. The Bruno and Moffet want to review Housing Guidelines review, way to invest in deed
restrictions outside the Town of Vail, housing policies and additional funding. The Board needs to
review and recommend to Council interest in investing in down valley deed restrictions.
Ruther reminded the Board the Town Council joint afternoon session is scheduled for June 5th.

Re: April 2018 Sales Tax
Vail will collect an estimated $53,800 in additional April sales tax to bring
collections up to $1,171,550. April will be down 15.5% or $215,230 from April
2017 and down 10% or $130,750 from budget. Year to date will be up 2.1%
or $266,421 from 2017 and down 0.4% or $51,733 from budget.
Part of the large variance to prior year collections is due to the Easter
Holiday falling in March for 2018 (Easter was in April for 2017)."

The March Vail Business Review breaks down the four percent sales tax collected for
the month of March and the first quarter of 2018.
Overall March sales tax increased 13.9% with retail increasing 17.9%, lodging
increased 11.7%, food and beverage increased 13.7%, and utilities/other increased by
10.1%. Excluding the out of town category, sales tax for the month of March was up
13.2%.
Part of the large variance to prior year collections is due to the Easter Holiday falling in
March for 2018 (Easter was in April for 2017).
The first quarter of 2018 resulted in a 4.3% increase overall with retail increasing 6.1%,
lodging increased 2.8%, food and beverage increased 6.9% and utilities/other
decreased 3.3%. Excluding the out of town category, first quarter sales tax is up 3.9%.
Town of Vail sales tax forms, the Vail Business Review and sales tax worksheets are
available on the internet at www.vailgov.com. You can subscribe to have the Vail
Business Review and the sales tax worksheet e-mailed to you automatically from
www.vailqov.com.
Please remember when reading the Vail Business Review that it is produced from sales
tax collections, as opposed to actual gross sales.

variances caused by the holiday.

Parking Revenue
Season to date: Pass sales from November through April total $1,241,595 up 22.2% from prior
winter season. The significant increase in pass sales was largely due to the purchase of blue
passes by Vail Health due to loss of parking during construction.

$3,685,336, down 6.7% from the prior winter season.

Demographics and Economic Trends
Town Manager's Report, Greg Clifton (10 minutes)
• Colorado Classic: This event is a great opportunity on a need weekend in August.
• Burton US Open: The presentation to town council was uplifting and proved the event
very successful through economic and media ROI.
• Transportation Initiatives: The town is tracking at the state level to keep up with what's
happening statewide. All the funding mechanisms would be sales tax driven.
• Council and Staff Retreat: Happening next week on 5/15, many topics discussed in the
VEAC meetings will be reviewed during that retreat.
• Job Description: Community Development Director draft is in progress.
• Interviews: In previous hiring processes, the town has utilized local board and business
members in vetting candidates. It helps to bring the community into an internal process
which has been very effective.
• Assistant Town Manager: Search will begin soon. Goal is to fill by end of summer.
• Concert Location Discussions: Event Review Committee has been involved as well as
Director Staff in working through assets, goals, operations and
• Town Council Room: Acoustics will be improved and updated.
• Boards & Commissions: Potential for some meetings to be televised to enable residents
to see what's happening and offer outreach to everyone. Housing Authority,
Development Review Board and Planning and Environmental Commission are currently
being considered.
Neighboring Business Reports, All (10 minutes)
• Kundolf reported on Meadow Drive. The merchants said that the marketing was lacking
for the right type of guest. They also reported they did not see much international in
retail. The people coming to town are not buying luxury goods. Clothing sales are

higher, but preferring to buy items on sale. Until the demographic hits 30-40 years old,
that audience will not buy luxury goods. Merchants said they will be more prudent in
terms of ordering and stocking. They are looking forward to summertime. She said there
is a strange demographic coming to town.
• Mullen said that the Safeway Manager would like to see marketing bringing in more
people. They see incremental revenue during events like Pink Vail and from tour buses.
They are offering reduced customer service, they can't house the employees.
• The Ale House profits were down, got things turned around after the New Year and
snow. They are only focusing on one band for one day a week. They saw a lot more
families in their restaurant. They requested Frontage Road signage for more visibility.
• More Global View: Summit County bar and restaurant business was up because they
got more snow and season started earlier. Perhaps people ate and drank more because
they weren't on the mountain skiing and snowboarding.
• West Vail Liquor Mart, they did a lot more promotion and marketing, their hours are
longer on Sunday 9am-9pm. One of the best things for their profitability is the
Doubletree opening and Burton US Open was a great event for them. The number of
people making transactions is declining. The Vail lodging rates continue to increase and
ADR could be impacting occupancy. For summer they will continue the more advanced
marketing, May is up quite a bit already. Optimistic about summer.
• Wadey said that businesses had a decent March, they are putting ski season behind
them and looking forward to having contingency plans with Vail Resorts. They said that
there was a lot of chatter on social media about the snow conditions. There is a need for
collaborative messages for local businesses.
• Wadey said second jobs didn't pay well enough. There isn't a strong labor pool.
• Retailers got more creative and did more trunk shows for promotions.
• Businesses need to adjust to new and emerging markets.
• Businesses are looking forward to updated Economic Development Strategic Plan.
• Franke said that there is communication from this group to the local businesses in terms
of targeting specific audiences and customer behaviors.
• Metz said that there is work to be done on the overall Vail brand and strategy with
competitive set.
• Vlaar summarized that while business was challenging this season, Vail Resorts and
the Town are already working on new strategies to address the weather challenges as
well as targeting the right guests.
Citizen Input (5 minutes)
NA
Other Business (5 minutes)
• Metz suggested that during the Town Council retreat, funding additional signature
events such as Burton US Open should be considered.
• Lange asked about investing in the snow -making equipment. Metz said Vail Mountain
will be expanding snow making over the next 3 summers.
