Background: The State of Colorado, per C.R.S. 12-23-115, requires that
electrical inspectors be State licensed electricians. Therefore, in order to
provide this service to Town of Vail customers, we have a licensed
electrician on staff to perform the proper inspections. However, when our
employee is not available for any reason (i.e.: vacation, injury/sick leave,
etc.), we will be unable to provide this service to our customers. Thus, we
would like to enter into an agreement with the Town of Gypsum to provide
"backup coverage" on an as-needed basis.

To: Vail Town Council
From: CJ Jarecki, Chief Building Official
Matt Gennett, Community Development Director
Date: June 18, 2019
Subject: Resolution No. 26, Series of 2019, Electrical Inspection Services
BACKGROUND:
The State of Colorado, per C.R.S. 12-23-115, requires that electrical inspectors be State
licensed electricians. Therefore, in order to provide this service to Town of Vail customers, we
have a licensed electrician on staff to perform the proper inspections.
However, when our employee is not available for any reason (i.e.: vacation, injury/sick leave,
etc.), we will be unable to provide this service to our customers. Thus, we would like to enter
into an agreement with the Town of Gypsum to provide “backup coverage” on an as-needed
basis.
CURRENT SITUATION:
Our licensed electrical inspector is taking a two week vacation that was pre-planned prior to
becoming a Town of Vail employee. With this, we will be unable to provide the required
electrical inspection services while he is absent.
The Town of Gypsum has offered to assist during these times and have provided a Service
Agreement for the proposed service(s). Currently, the Town of Gypsum has two licensed
electrical inspectors on staff and both of those individuals have performed the same service
within the Town of Vail. They are familiar with our inspection software systems and have
familiarity with the way that we do business.
Budget implications will be minimal and the Community Development budget can support the
agreement without any supplemental budget considerations.
PROPOSAL:
Enter into an IGA/MOU with The Town of Gypsum to provide coverage, when needed.

TOWN OF VAIL
T R A N S P O R TA T I O N P L A N N I N G T E C H N I C A L S U P P O R T
1.1 B A C K G R O U ND
The Town of Vail was incorporated in 1966, four years after the ski resort that bears its name was
founded. Today, the ski resort is America’s most visited ski area and draws over 1.6 million annual
visitors a year. However, people are increasingly visiting Vail in all seasons to participate in hiking; road
and mountain biking; fly-fishing; golfing; rafting; on-mountain adventure courses; and wildlife,
wildflower, and fall foliage viewing and photography.
These activities take place on 1,100 acres of open space accounting for 50 percent of Vail’s town-owned
land; 350,000 surrounding acres of the White River National Forest, which includes 5,289 skiable acres on
one of the largest ski mountains in the world; 17 miles of recreation paths; numerous special events; the
highest botanical gardens in the world and an outdoor amphitheater named for the Town’s most famous
resident, President Gerald R. Ford. The Town’s net revenue annual budget provides funding for one of the
largest free transportation systems in the country.
In recent years, parking lots and access roads to several of the area’s most popular trailheads have become
congested, trails have become wider due to increased foot traffic, and crowding has negatively affected the
experiences of visitors and nearby neighbors to these areas. With its expertise in transportation planning in
public lands, The Town of Vail has asked the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (the
Volpe Center) to help address these issues.
This interagency agreement (IAA) builds upon the agreement in place between the Volpe Center and the
White River National Forest (VXP8A2).
1.2 S C O PE O F W ORK
Through this agreement, the Volpe Center will provide transportation technical assistance to the Town of
Vail. All projects authorized under this agreement fall into one general task: Transportation Planning
Assistance and Implementation Support. Details of this task are presented in Section 2 of this agreement.
All costs listed in this agreement are for Volpe Center staff involvement only. Costs associated with any
other project participants are not included.
This agreement can be amended upon agreement of the signature parties to add specific tasks. If additional
work is added under this agreement in the future, new tasks will be contingent upon the availability of
funds and a modification will be executed to add additional funding under the original agreement.
For each individual project, a work plan, known as a project agreement, describing the scope of work,
roles and responsibilities, project schedule, and project funding, must be developed prior to beginning an y
work.
Work shall be on a best effort, no fee basis, and charges will reflect onl y actual costs and no profit. Work
will start upon execution of the agreement and the receipt of funds. The scope of work ma y be modified
b y agreement by both parties.
1.3 SCHEDUL E
June 18, 2019 - Page 22 of 404
Page 3 of 4
The master project will span approximately five fiscal years from execution of the agreement. The period
of performance for VPQ2 will run until 5/30/2024. The Volpe Center effort, in support of the tasks, will
commence immediately upon approval of this agreement and availability of funding. Specific project
deadlines, including completion dates, will be documented at the working level for each project.

To: Vail Town Council
Vail Local Housing Authority
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: June 18, 2019
Subject: Vail Community Housing Survey Results
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this agenda item is to present the results of the 2019 Vail Community Housing
Survey and discuss possible next steps the Vail Town Council and Vail Local Housing Authority
may wish to take in response to the survey results.
2. BACKGROUND
The Vail Local Housing Authority, acting in partnership with the Vail Town Council, contracted
the consulting services of Summit Information Systems and Magellan Strategies to conduct a
Vail Community Housing Survey. The purpose of the survey was two-fold:
1) to measure and understand the general opinions of the Vail community regarding the
availability of housing and awareness of ongoing town policies and programs to address
the housing need, and
2) to measure general support for a potential tax initiative to establish a permanent and
consistent funding source for town-sponsored housing programs.
Community participation in the housing survey was strong with more than 400 registered Vail
voters taking part. The survey was conducted both online and by telephone from May 22
through June 5, 2019. The cost of the survey was funded by the Vail Local Housing Authority. A
summary of the survey results has been attached for reference.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
Town staff is recommending the Vail Town Council and Vail Local Housing Authority members
listen to the presentation of the survey results and engage in a future discussion regarding
possible next steps that may be taken in response to the community input received. There are
a number of actionable steps the Town Council and the Authority may wish to consider when
addressing the need for housing in the Vail community. These steps could be discussed and
considered in the context of the 2020 Town of Vail Budget. A future discussion will be
scheduled at the direction of the Vail Town Council.

Methodology
Ø Magellan Strategies are pleased to present the results for a 400n live
and online survey of registered voters in Vail, Colorado.
Ø The online interviews were conducted from May 22nd –June 5th,
2019. The phone interviews were conducted from June 3rd –5th,
2019.
Ø The overall survey has a margin of error of +/-4.61% at the 95%
confidence interval. Subgroups of voters will have higher margin of
error than the overall population.
Ø The survey results were weighted based upon past off-year voter
turnout demographics for a general election in Vail, Colorado.
Ø David Flaherty was the principal researcher on this project, and
Courtney Sievers was the project director.

KEY FINDINGS
4
June 18, 2019 - Page 118 of 404
Key Findings:
Ø A majority of respondents, 51%, think the lack of available and affordable
homes in the Town of Vail is a big problem and 32% say it is somewhat of a
problem. Among voters aged 44 and younger, 76% think the lack of
affordable homes is a big problem compared to seniors, aged 65 and
older, with only 29% thinking it is big problem.
Ø Seventy-five percent of Vail voters agree, and 46% strongly agree with the
viewpoint that local governments in mountain resort communities like the
Town of Vail should make reasonable efforts to maintain and increase the
supply of available resident-occupied, deed-restricted homes for residents.
Ø Fifty-two percent of respondents approve of the actions the Town of Vail is
taking to provide and secure available homes for residents and 36%
disapprove of them. Thirty-nine percent of respondents have a favorable
opinion of the Vail Local Housing Authority, 34% have an unfavorable
opinion, and 21% have heard of the Vail Local Housing Authority but do not
have an opinion of it.
5Vail Local Housing Authority Community Survey, 400n, +/-4.61%, May/June 2019
June 18, 2019 - Page 119 of 404
Key Findings:
ØThere is little voter support for a possible sales or property
tax increase to fund the town’s mission of maintaining
and increasing the supply of resident-occupied deed
restricted homes. Among all respondents, only 28% said
they would be willing to support an unspecified sales or
property tax increase and 51% of voters would not be
willing to support a tax increase.
ØNinety-four percent of respondents are aware the Town
of Vail sponsored and developed the Chamonix Vail
Neighborhood and 51% were aware the town
purchased deed-restrictions at 6 West Apartments in
Edwards. Voter familiarity with the “Vail InDEED” program
was relatively strong, with 25% being very familiar with
the program and 34% somewhat familiar.
6Vail Local Housing Authority Community Survey, 400n, +/-4.61%, May/June 2019
June 18, 2019 - Page 120 of 404
Key Findings:
ØMany voters blame the growth and adoption of Airbnb and VRBO for the lack of housing for full-time residents. They think the long-term rental market has decreased significantly and short-term rentals have increased due to 2nd home owners using these services. Because of this, some voters suggest putting a limit on the total number of short-term rentals or applying a hotel tax to short-term rentals.
ØMany voters think Vail employers both big and small need to pay their employees more, so they can afford housing. Others believe employers should be more accountable for finding housing for their employees instead of the Town of Vail taking the lead in addressing the housing problem.
ØSome voters have an unfavorable opinion of deed-restricted housing because they think deed-restricted homes lower the property value of non-deed restricted homes within the same area.

Top Issues
Work with Local Business
Limit/Tax Short Term Rentals
Only Build Long-Term Locals
Affordable for Workers
“Many similar towns limit the
percentage of home that can
be [a] short-term rental,
(Airbnb, VRBO), The
percentage available to
workers should be equal to
those for short-term rental.”
-Female, 55-64
“Work with local business and
development companies to increase the
availability of employee housing,
throughout the county and not just down
valley. Housing needs to increase close to
Vail Village.”
-Male, 65+
“Only allow home sales if it is a
primary residence. There are far too
many homes that sit empty for 50
weeks a year. You want to come
here for only two weeks a year, rent
a hotel room like everyone else.”
-Male, 35-44
Regardless if you agree or disagree with the view that the availability of
homes for Vail residents is a problem, in your own words please tell me
what you think the Town of Vail should or should not do to address the
shortage of available homes for residents.
“Work with Vail Resorts and
local businesses to develop a
plan for more
employee/local housing in
Vail and the Valley as a
whole.”
-Female, 45-54,
“Tax second home owners with
a certain amount of square
footage, require them to build
or pay for employee units
depending on how much jobs
and work that would generate.
“
-Female, 45-54
“Outlaw short-term rentals. At the
very least, the town should charge
hotel tax to all short-term rentals.
The town should also increase the
property tax rate on 2nd home
owners and decrease the
property tax rate on primary
home owners.”
-Male, 35-44
“Market forces have always
driven this problem. More supply is
not always the right answer but
perhaps subsidies that allow locals
to buy is one way.”

“It is a home that is only

“A home to be purchased at a lower

Town of Vail Efforts to Maintain
Deed Restricted Homes
As you may know, a resident-occupied, deed-
restricted home limits the occupancy of the residence
to a number of people that make the home their
primary residence and are employed a minimum of
30 hours per week on an annual basis at a business
located within Eagle County.
Understanding what a deed-restricted home is, do
you agree or disagree with the viewpoint that local
governments in mountain resort communities like the
Town of Vail should make reasonable efforts to
maintain and increase the supply of available
resident-occupied, deed-restricted homes for
residents?

“The town and community are built
around our mountain. The town and
resort have a duty to help people that
work hard to keep everything moving.
How can we not help those people?
Hard workers are being forced down
valley because the wages cannot
support living in this town.”
-Male, 18-34
“Because otherwise there won’t be
anyone living here who also works in
their community. The town will suffer
for it if it becomes untenable to raise
a family here.”

In your own words being as descriptive as possible, please tell me why
you agree with the viewpoint that local governments in mountain resort
communities should make reasonable efforts to maintain and increase

“It is hard to find affordable
housing for typical residents
of that area. The fact that
they offer deed-restricted
housing for people in that
area who aren’t millionaires
is important.”

“We need workers in jobs that

Vail is an expensive

“Without affordable housing we

“Vail Health and Vail Resorts
should be paying the bulk of
the cost of providing more
deed-restricted housing. The
Town of Vail can be a

financial burden.”
-Female, 55-64
“The town of Vail should not be engaging
it’s municipality in buying and selling real
estate. It should be done by professional
real estate people and developers. It is in
conflict with their fiduciary duty to the
citizens.”
-Male, 65+
“Deed-restricted properties are
impacting the value of other units
in complexes that often end up
staying on the market much
longer, again impacting the sales
of non-deed restricted properties.
Given deed-restricted properties
can still be quite pricey, for
example over $600K for a 2-3BR in
Vail, this price point is still very
difficult for a new home buyer or
lower economic bracket which
keeps it on the market longer and
is not serving the purpose it was
meant to serve but does end up
hurting the non-deed restricted
properties.”
-Female, 45-54
In your own words being as descriptive as possible, please tell me why
you disagree with the viewpoint that local governments in mountain
resort communities should make reasonable efforts to maintain and
increase the supply of available deed-restricted homes for residents.
“Deed-restriction robs the
owner of the opportunity to
gain property value. Being
stuck in a lower valued
property would decrease
incentive to maintain the
property. As years pass the
deed restricted homes will
look out of place and
potentially bring the town
down.“
-Female, 45-54
“Because the town then ramrods
these projects into neighborhoods
where they may not be suitable;
size or density-wise. It is time for
private business to pay a living
wage for their circumstances. Or,
at least assist their employees with
transportation.”

Mission
The mission of the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority is
to maintain and increase the supply of resident-occupied, deed-
restricted homes for residents through the acquisition of deed
restrictions. They do this with the goal of maintaining and sustaining
community in Vail.
To advance their mission, they apply an “all of the above” approach
to identifying, acquiring and building future deed-restricted homes.
This is done by researching and pursuing public-private partnerships,
strategic initiatives, innovative programs and collaboration within the
community. Recent examples of approaches taken to achieve their
mission include Chamonix Vail Neighborhood, Vail InDEEd and 6
West Apartments.
Understanding their mission, do you think the Town of Vail and the Vail
Local Housing Authority is headed in the right direction in working
towards their mission or do you feel they are off on the wrong track?

“The increase in property
taxes further burdens the
local worker living in Vail
which is already a strain for
most financially. A sales tax
puts that cost/burden more
on the tourist than the local
which seems more
appropriate.”
-Female, 65+
“A couple of reasons. 1. I think you
may have a very difficult time
getting people to vote in favor of a
property tax, particularly in light of
the newest round of assessments
that just came out. 2. I think that it is
important not only for our residents
but also visitors to buy into the idea
that housing is infrastructure.”
-Female, 45-54
In your own words, please tell me why you
would support a sales tax rather than a
property tax.
“The primary beneficiary of
affordable housing is the tourism
industry serving our visitors. These
visitors should contribute to the
expense of house the people
serving them. It will be a smaller
amount spread among more
people.“
-Male, 45-54
“I think a sales tax would
encourage our community to buy
local, knowing where that extra
tax is going. It would also allow us
to benefit from Vail's tourism.
Peoples vacations depend on the

“Sales tax will capture all the

is second and third homeowners who

aren't in town enough to contribute to

already tax our visitors at a ratio that is

to keep property taxes low.. most areas

ratio and I believe this is the best way to

MEMORANDUM
TO: VAIL LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITY, INTERESTED PARTIES
FR: DAVID FLAHERTY, COURTNEY SIEVERS, RYAN WINGER
RE: TOWN OF VAIL LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITY COMMUNITY SURVEY
This is a summary of an online and telephone survey of 400 registered voters in the Town
of Vail, Colorado. The interviews were conducted from May 22nd to June 5th, 2019. The
overall results have a margin of error of +/- 4.61% at the 95 percent confidence interval.
The survey results were slightly weighted to reflect the voter turnout demographics for an
odd-year election in the Town of Vail.
Survey Overview
The focus of this survey was to measure and understand general opinions of the Vail
community regarding the availability of housing and awareness of ongoing town policies
and programs to address this problem. The survey also measured general support and
opposition levels for a possible local sales or property tax that would generate a permanent
funding source for housing programs and policies.
The survey findings reveal a community that genuinely wants to address the problem of
affordable housing. There is no question in their commitment and willingness to work and
support solutions to this difficult problem. However, there are many different opinions of
which solutions would be best for the Vail workforce, residents and homeowners.
Key Findings:
Ø A majority of respondents, 51%, think the lack of available and affordable homes in
the Town of Vail is a big problem and 32% say it is somewhat of a problem. Among
voters aged 44 and younger, 76% think the lack of affordable homes is a big
problem compared to seniors, aged 65 and older, with only 29% thinking it is big
problem.
Ø Seventy-five percent of Vail voters agree, and 46% strongly agree with the viewpoint
that local governments in mountain resort communities like the Town of Vail should

make reasonable efforts to maintain and increase the supply of available resident-
occupied, deed-restricted homes for residents.
Ø Fifty-two percent of respondents approve of the actions the Town of Vail is taking
to provide and secure available homes for residents and 36% disapprove of them.
Thirty-nine percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of the Vail Local
Housing Authority, 34% have an unfavorable opinion, and 21% have heard of the
Vail Local Housing Authority but do not have an opinion of it.
Ø There is little voter support for a possible sales or property tax increase to fund the
town’s mission of maintaining and increasing the supply of resident-occupied deed
restricted homes. Among all respondents, only 28% said they would be willing to
support an unspecified sales or property tax increase and 51% of voters would not
be willing to support a tax increase.
Ø Ninety-four percent of respondents are aware the Town of Vail sponsored and
developed the Chamonix Vail Neighborhood and 51% were aware the town
purchased deed-restrictions at 6 West Apartments in Edwards. Voter familiarity with
the “Vail InDEED” program was relatively strong, with 25% being very familiar with
the program and 34% somewhat familiar.
Ø Many voters blame the growth and adoption of Airbnb and VRBO for the lack of
housing for full-time residents. They think the long-term rental market has decreased
significantly and short-term rentals have increased due to 2nd home owners using
these services. Because of this, some voters suggest putting a limit on the total
number of short-term rentals or applying a hotel tax to short-term rentals.
Ø Many voters think Vail employers both big and small need to pay their employees
more, so they can afford housing. Others believe employers should be more
accountable for finding housing for their employees instead of the Town of Vail
taking the lead in addressing the housing problem.
Ø Some voters have an unfavorable opinion of deed-restricted housing because they
think deed-restricted homes lower the property value of non-deed restricted homes
within the same area.
Voter Opinion of Lack of Available Homes for Residents in the Town of Vail
A majority of respondents, 51%, think the lack of available homes in the Town of Vail is a
very big problem and 32% think it is somewhat of a problem. The largest differences of
opinion are driven by age, or more apparently where a respondent is in their stage of life.
Among voters aged 44 or younger, a whopping 76% believe the lack of available homes
is a very big problem compared to only 29% of seniors aged 65 or older.

Voter Opinion of What Vail Should or Should Not do to Address Housing
To gain a broad understanding of what the Vail community thinks should or should not be
done to address the shortage of available homes in Vail, respondents were asked to provide
their opinion. The responses are filled with strong opinions, emotion and frustration among
homeowners and year-round residents.
“Only allow home sales if it is a primary residence. There are far too many homes that sit
empty for 50 weeks a year. You want to come here for only two weeks a year, rent a hotel
room like everyone else.” – Male, 35-44
“Build more affordable projects like Vail Commons. The attempt at the new Chamonix was
still way out of reach for 90% of front-line employees. People are lined up for a mile to look
at Vail Commons units when they become available. This could happen down valley also.
People will stay even if they have to commute. Miller Ranch was another good example.”
– Male, 35-44
“Find a way to develop housing for long-term locals that is affordable. The people you need
to keep are those professionals in lower management. Chamonix was not affordable for the
population that needs housing the most.” – Female, 35-44
“Putting restrictions on Airbnb and VRBO rentals in town may help with the housing crisis.
So many homeowners now rent short term to make more money when they used to rent
their homes long term to the locals that work in the valley.” – Female, 35-44
“Outlaw short-term rentals. At the very least, the town should charge hotel tax to all short-
term rentals. The town should also increase the property tax rate on 2nd home owners and
decrease the property tax rate on primary home owners.” -Male, 35-44

“There are housing opportunities outside of Vail in the valley, which has excellent public
transportation options. Would hate to see the town put up a bunch of housing/apartments.”
– Female, 35-44
“I think we are going to have a big employee crisis if we don’t address housing issues.” –
Female, 45-54
“Tax second home owners with a certain amount of square footage, require them to build
or pay for employee units depending on how much jobs and work that would generate.”
– Female, 45-54
“We should attain and/or build both rental and for-sale affordable housing. And we should
do both as the town and through public/private partnerships.” -Female, 45-54
“Work with Vail Resorts and local businesses to develop a plan for more employee/local
housing in Vail and the Valley as a whole.” – Female, 45-54
“Put more restrictions on short-term rentals. Most of the available housing that was once
available to rent long term has now been turned over to short-term rentals and thus limiting
the available housing. With the few options available the price has increased for those long-
term rentals.” – Male, 45-54
“Market forces have always driven this problem. More supply is not always the right answer
but perhaps subsidies that allow locals to buy is one way.” – Male, 55-64
“Many similar towns limit the percentage of home that can be [a] short-term rental, (Airbnb,
VRBO), The percentage available to workers should be equal to those for short-term
rental.” – Female, 55-64
“Need more subsidized housing. Vail Resorts is the largest employer, but they don’t provide
enough housing and only pay a small percentage towards other options.” – Female, 55-64
“Work with local business and development companies to increase the availability of
employee housing, throughout the county and not just down valley. Housing needs to
increase close to Vail Village.” – Male, 65+
“For starters, build what private developers are building. So far, the density the town has
built is embarrassing – virtually no increase at Timber Ridge, exceptionally low density at
Champ despite pleas from many locals to include some multi-family building for example.”
– Female, 45-54
“The unavailability of homes for residents has always been a problem to some degree. I
think it’s important for the town to identify the factors contributing to this situation. In my
view the proliferation of the “short term rental” in residential neighborhoods as a business

model, and the virtually unrestricted 2nd, 3rd, 4th home market are contributing significantly
to the availability and affordability of homes. Put a moratorium on short term rentals, and
a housing impact fee on 2nd home purchases. Require that new or expanding businesses
provide housing for employees as a cost of doing business. Our large local employers – Vail
Resorts, Vail Health need to provide housing for their employees or contribute to a housing
fund.” – Male, 55-64
“Build more affordable single-family houses that middle-class families can afford. Both me
and my husband have good jobs working at the hospital. We save well and do not spend
our money on unnecessary items, yet we still cannot afford a decent sized house from
Eagle-Vail to Edwards where we would like to live. We would like to eventually have a
family and will need a bigger place and do not want to share walls with noisy renters, but
with the current housing situation this will not be possible due to lack of availability and
price of homes. -Female, 18-34
“Raise property taxes on second and third homeowners who drain the resources of the
town but do not contribute measurably through sales taxes as they are rarely here.” – Male,
35-44
“You cannot fix this, as long as we keep growing, we will never have all the housing you/we
need.” – Male, 55-64
“The town should not subsidize housing for big employers who are growing each year but
are not taking responsibility for their housing needs.” – Female, 55-64
“The Town of Vail should not support more high-density within its town limits. Vail, as a
resort experience, is popular and successful because of its low-density charm. Over building
by increasing density will ruin the charm which has made Vail successful. Vail should invest
in improving transit up and down the valley. Employees need access but don’t need to live
within walking distance of Vail Mountain.” – Female, 55-64
“Create a block of rent-controlled apartments/townhomes in various multi-unit buildings
throughout Vail.” – Female, 55-64
“I agree with converting existing structures to deed-restricted housing. I do not agree with
the development of open spaces and the vacant lands which make Vail special and
welcoming to humans and animals. We must be good stewards of the land. I also agree
with requiring new developments/hotels to include employee housing units.” – Female
“More employee housing, restrictions on pricing, and restrictions on secondary home
owners.” – Male, 18-34

Town of Vail Job Approval for Providing and Securing Homes for Residents
Among all respondents, 52% approve of the actions the Town of Vail is doing providing
and securing homes for residents, 36% disapprove and 12% do not have an opinion.
Among respondents that say they are very familiar with the VLHA and Town of Vail’s
mission, 49% disapprove of the Town of Vail’s actions and 51% approve. After reviewing
some of the open-ended verbatim responses, we suspect the high disapproval rating is due
to a general frustration with the lack of affordable housing options.

Opinion of Government Making Efforts to Provide Deed Restricted Homes to Residents
Seventy-five percent of respondents agree, and 46% strongly agree with the viewpoint that
local governments in mountain resort communities should make reasonable efforts to
maintain and increase the supply of available, deed-restricted homes for residents. These
are strong numbers and are encouraging for the Town of Vail and the VLHA as they begin
to measure voter support for a possible permanent funding source. However, despite this
positive observation of voter agreement with this viewpoint, general support for a sales or
property tax increase is very weak.

“As you may know, a resident-occupied, deed-restricted home limits the occupancy of the
residence to a number of people that make the home their primary residence and are
employed a minimum of 30 hours per week on an annual basis at a business located within
Eagle County. Understanding what a deed-restricted home is, do you agree or disagree with
the viewpoint that local governments in mountain resort communities like the Town of Vail
should make reasonable efforts to maintain and increase the supply of available resident-

Why 75% Agree Vail Should Maintain and Increase Supply of Deed-Restricted Homes
The overwhelming reason 75% of respondents agree with the viewpoint that Vail should
make reasonable efforts to maintain and supply deed-restricted homes is the concern and
sympathy for the community workforce. The comments from respondents show a very
strong belief that deed-restricted homes are a fundamental requirement in addressing the
problem of affordable housing for workers serving the Vail community. There are also many
comments that touch upon the need for better pay and higher wages to live in the Vail
community.
“It’s hard to find good employees. Creating more housing allows for our growing town to
help employ our businesses.” – Female, 35-44
“The town and community are built around our mountain. The town and resort have a
duty to help people that work hard to keep everything moving. How can we not help those
people? Hard workers are being forced down valley because the wages cannot support
living in this town.” -Male, 18-34
“Too much of our housing is second homes owned by non-residents who rent at inflated
levels.” – Male, 65+
“Without affordable housing we will not have employees to keep our businesses running.
We strive for a high level of customer service in Vail as we are a first-class resort. Without
deed restricted homes the second homeowners will purchase all available and affordable
options.” – Female, 55-64

“Because otherwise there won’t be anyone living here who also works in their community.
The town will suffer for it if it becomes untenable to raise a family here.” – Female, 18-34
“It is hard to find affordable housing for typical residents of that area. The fact that they
offer deed-restricted housing for people in that area who aren’t millionaires is important.”
– Female, 35-44
“We need workers in jobs that do not necessarily pay well. Vail is an expensive community.
Deed-restricted housing would help to reduce our problems in this regard.” – Male, 65+
“Without affordable housing for workers in Vail, the town is going to collapse.” – Male, 65+
Why 23% Disagree Vail Should Maintain and Increase Supply of Deed-Restricted Homes
There are a few reasons 23% of respondents that disagreed with the viewpoint that the
town should maintain and increase the supply of deed-restricted homes. One reason is the
belief that local employers, big or small should pay their employees more so they can afford
the cost of living in Vail. There is also a strong belief that deed-restricted housing harms
the property values of non-deed restricted homes. Another view is the local governments
and taxpayer money should not be used to provide local housing because that is the
responsibility of local business.
“Deed-restricted properties are impacting the value of other units in complexes that often
end up staying on the market much longer, again impacting the sales of non-deed restricted
properties. Given deed-restricted properties can still be quite pricey, for example over
$600K for a 2-3BR in Vail, this price point is still very difficult for a new home buyer or
lower economic bracket which keeps it on the market longer and is not serving the purpose
it was meant to serve but does end up hurting the non-deed restricted properties.” –
Female, 45-54
“Deed-restriction robs the owner of the opportunity to gain property value. Being stuck in
a lower valued property would decrease incentive to maintain the property. As years pass
the deed restricted homes will look out of place and potentially bring the town down.” –
Female, 45-54
“The town of Vail should not be engaging it’s municipality in buying and selling real estate.
It should be done by professional real estate people and developers. It is in conflict with
their fiduciary duty to the citizens.” – Male, 65+
“Because the town then ramrods these projects into neighborhoods where they may not
be suitable; size or density-wise. It is time for private business to pay a living wage for their
circumstances. Or, at least assist their employees with transportation.” – Male, 65+

“Deed-restricted units harm re-sale value in the condo community. Also, why is it the
government’s responsibility to house employees of local businesses? You are using my tax
dollars to solve a problem that is the responsibility of the business owners.” – Male, 65+
“Vail Health and Vail Resorts should be paying the bulk of the cost of providing more deed-
restricted housing. The Town of Vail can be a partner but should not should majority of the
financial burden.” – Female, 55-64
Voter Awareness and Opinion of What a “Deed Restricted” Home Is
The survey included an open-ended question asking voters what a “deed restricted” home
is in order to verify and understand how Vail voters think about this important concept.
The responses demonstrated a very clear and accurate understanding of what deed
restrictions are and how they work. There were also a few comments regarding owners
being limited to what they can do with the property. The following is a sample of responses:
“It is a home that is only allowed to be appreciated by a controlled small amount each
year.” – Female, 65+
“It is housing that can only be sold or leased to a full time Eagle County employee and may
include limits on yearly appreciation.” – Female, 65+
“The community does not allow the property owner to do anything they want with it or
rent to whomever they want.” – Male, 45-54
“A home to be purchased at a lower sales cost or with incentives (like down payment
assistance) that can then only be sold with a certain percentage profit and maybe only to
a full-time resident.” – Male, 18-34
“A home that can be on the free market but isn’t because it has been “deed-restricted” in
order to temper the price and keep it as “affordable” as it can be for those living and
working in the Town of Vail.” – Male, 35-44
Voter Awareness of the Town’s Deed Restricted Programs and Housing Developments
This survey included questions to measure the familiarity of the “Vail InDEED” housing
program and awareness of town’s involvement with two housing developments. Voter
awareness of the town’s sponsorship and development with the Chamonix Vail
Neighborhood was overwhelming with a 94% measurement. Fifty-one percent of voters
were aware of the town’s deed-restriction purchases at 6 West Apartments in Edwards.
Finally, one in four respondents said they were very familiar with the “Vail InDEED”
programs and 34% somewhat familiar.

Voter Opinion of the Town of Vail/Vail Local Housing Authority’s Mission
After measuring awareness of the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority’s
(VLHA) mission, respondents were read a description of their mission and then asked if
they thought it was going in the right direction or off on the wrong track. The survey finds
a slight majority, 53%, think the town and the VLHA are headed in the right direction and
31% felt they were off on the wrong track.
The one voter subgroup that had the highest percentage of respondents thinking the mission
was on the wrong track were seniors aged 65 and older, with 40% feeling the mission was
on the wrong track. However, among voters 64 or younger, nearly two-thirds believe the
mission is headed in the right direction.

“The mission of the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority is to maintain and increase
the supply of resident-occupied, deed-restricted homes for residents through the acquisition of
deed restrictions. They do this with the goal of maintaining and sustaining community in Vail. To
advance their mission, they apply an “all of the above” approach to identifying, acquiring and
building future deed-restricted homes.
This is done by researching and pursuing public-private partnerships, strategic initiatives,
innovative programs and collaboration within the community. Recent examples of approaches
taken to achieve their mission include Chamonix Vail Neighborhood, Vail InDEEd and 6 West
Apartments.
Understanding their mission, do you think the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority
is headed in the right direction in working towards their mission or do you feel they are off on the
wrong track?” *

General Support/Opposition for Sales or Property Tax for Housing Mission
At this time there is little voter support for a possible sales or property tax to fund the VLHA’s
mission of maintaining and increasing the support of resident-occupied deed restricted
homes. Among all respondents, only 28% said they would be willing to support an
unspecified sales or property tax increase, and 51% would not be willing to support a tax.
Among the 28% of respondents that would be willing to support a tax increase to fund
housing, 53% preferred a sales tax and 38% a property tax. However, with only 28% of all
respondents willing to consider a tax increase to fund housing, we would recommend not
putting a ballot measure before voters this year or in the near future.

Informed Voter Opinion of Costs of a Property or Sales Tax Increase
In an attempt to measure shifts in voter support for a general property or sales tax increase,
the survey informed voters of the cost to a residential home owner for a 1 mill increase and
a 0.25% sales tax increase. The survey measured 39% of voters being more likely to support
a 1 mill increase and 37% being more likely to support a 0.25% sales tax increase.
However, among the 51% of respondents that are not willing to support any tax increase,
only 11% would be more likely to support after being informed about the cost of a 1 mill
levy increase. After being informed about the sales tax increase costs, only 20% of the
voters that would not being willing to support a tax increase would be more likely to
consider it.
“To better understand the cost of a property tax increase, a 1 mill increase on a residential
property in the Town of Vail with a value of a half million dollars would cost a homeowner
an additional $36 dollars per year. Knowing this information, are you more likely or less
likely to support a property tax increase to fund the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing
Authority’s mission?” *

Voter Closing Thoughts and Suggestions for Town Council and Local Housing Authority
The following is a sample of responses to a closing question asking voters if they had any
thoughts, suggestions or opinions, positive or negative regarding housing for local residents
that the wanted to share with the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority.
“There needs to be more real estate options. They should be more focused on what they are
asking the people to pay. There needs to be more affordable housing here.” – Male, 18-34
“Focus on outlawing/restricting short term rentals. If the town doesn’t outlaw short term
rentals, at least charge the owners hotel taxes. Increase the tax rate on 2nd home owners and
decrease the tax rate on primary residents. This would drive down the price of real estate and
should be the town’s primary focus.” – Male, 35-44
“Keep working on strategies to offer housing to locals in the Vail Valley.” – Male, 45-54
“We certainly need affordable housing, but I do not approve of build if it effects a wildlife
habitat such as East Vail. I’ve lived in Vail for 40 years and the big horn sheep herds are
dwindling. It seems we have forgotten why we have moved here.” – Female, 55-64
“I was happy to learn that Vail purchased housing in Edwards. I’m a full-time resident who
works hard to make a living here and raise our kids. I’m in a Bald Mountain Townhome we
purchased in 2008 at top value. I’ve been paying a big mortgage and my home value has not
returned to our purchase price. I was a little angry when of our units was just converted to
deed-restricted. It makes me feel like now my place will never come back. I have been
watching giant new homes popup throughout East Vail, I get it. Normal folks do not live in
those homes. I’m personally counting on the high-end development of Vail to bring up the
value of my little place. Please don’t crush that possibility.” – Female, 45-54

“It is vital to set up a permanent funding source for housing. It should be steady.” – Female,
65+
“With regard to increases in tax to pay for housing, in order to say yes I would need to know
what is actually proposed.” – Male, 55-64
“I can’t support something that will not bring me direct benefit, I’ve been searching for an
affordable place to live in myself. It is not reasonable to support a tax increase when I am
unable to get housing myself.” – Female, 35-44
“The current deed restricted properties are still too expensive for the regular Vail worker.” –
Female, 45-54
“Restating that they should limit the Air B& B’s that take aware from full time residents being
able to find or purchase housing.” – Female, 45-54
“Something needs to be done. We are losing valuable employees as a result of the lack of
affordable housing both as rentals and purchases. It needs to be at a much fast pace than is
currently implemented.” – Male, 55-64
“The word is out. There is a shortage of affordable housing in Eagle County. The result,
homes are being built, many more planned. Let the marketplace solve the issue. Not
everyone can live in Vail city limits. Provide subsidized transportation and cheap parking
with the town for employees. More cost effective than getting into the real estate business.” –
Male, 65+
“I have shared my concerns with an emphasis being placed on housing within the Town of
Vail. I feel that both the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority would be
wise to look at down valley housing options and potentially consider added transportation
to/from these locations.” – Female, 55-64
Conclusion
At this time there is a lack of consensus among people in the Vail community on the best
approach to solving the problem of affordable housing. However, we hope this voter
opinion research will lead to a broader discussion of solutions that will generate more
awareness of what is being done to solve this complicated problem.

I think they should build more affordable housing. I think that the rich
people need to be okay with that being in their neighborhood.
Everyone wants affordable housing, but not in their neighborhood.
MALE 18-34 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG Build more affordable housing.
MALE 18-34 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Continue to build employee housing and low income housing. For
example, the project east of the Vail mountain school, the valley is
desperate for more beds. As we are not going to reinvent the wheel,
we should continue to increase employee housing, first time home
buyer programs, and more affordable housing options within the
town.
MALE 18-34 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG They should be providing more affordable housing for the locals.
FEMALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG Continue the deed restriction program.
FEMALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Find a way to develop housing for long term locals that is affordable.

needs housing the most.
FEMALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG Help subsidize housing any way you can.
FEMALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Putting restrictions on Airbnb and VRBO rentals in town may help
with the housing crisis. So many homeowners now rent short term to
make more money when they used to rent their homes long term to
the locals that work in the valley.
FEMALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG I don't really know. I guess I would say to allow buildings.
MALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Build more affordable projects like Vail Commons. The attempt at the
new Chamonix was still way out of reach for 90% of front line
employees. People are lined up for a mile to look at Vail Commons
units when they become available. This could happen down valley
also. People will stay even if the have to commute. Miller Ranch was
another good example.

Only allow home sales if it is a PRIMARY residence. There are far too

Outlaw short-term rentals. At the very least, the town should charge
hotel tax to all short term rentals. The town should also increase the
property tax rate on 2nd home owners and decrease the property tax
rate on primary home owners.
FEMALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Given the limited land in the Town of Vail and the nature of Vail, I feel
the town should work with neighboring districts to find land suitable
for building more affordable housing. I do not feel building more of
these types of properties (subsidized/employee housing)in the town of
Vail helps in the way it should. And, if the town can identify areas
loose but outside the town, transportation should also be considered
and provided.

Tax second homeowners with a certain amount of square footage,
require them to build or pay for employee units depending on how
much jobs and work that could generate.
FEMALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
The town should build more rental units between Middle Creek and
the new parking garage. Vail resorts should add more housing
between Lionhead and Donavan. Town should not appove any more
development for large projects unless the housing needs for new staff
are addressed as part of the proposal.

We should attain and/or build both rental and for sale affordable
housing. And we should do so both as the Town and through

For the deed-restricted homes, they should continue to purchase as
many deed restrictions as they can. The bigger problem now is that
we are passing up the opportunity to create more housing for
residential employees. Passing over the recent East Vail project was a
huge opportunity that was missed. We lost the opportunity for more
than 40 apartment style units due to town politics.
MALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Housing issues can be slightly alleviated by reversing the new 3 hour
parking restrictions and no overnight parking at the Pitkin trail head.
The Pitkin Townehomes have numerous units with multiple Vail
workers per unit. You just took away the overflow parking. I estimate
10 people are gone. The town also lost those people who live in their
camper vans at the trail heads. These people work in Vail. I was going
to rent out a spare room. I'm unable to due to this due to the new
parking restrictions. I can deal with the parking issue if I went the Air
B&B option.
MALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Put more restrictions on short term rentals. Most of the available
housing that was once available to rent long term has now been
turned over to short term rentals and thus limiting the available
housing. With the few options available the price has increased for
those long term rentals.
MALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG They have to.
FEMALE 55-64 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Many similar resort towns limit the percentage of homes that can be in
short term rental. (airbnb or vrbo). The percentage available to workers
should be equal to those for short term rental.
FEMALE 55-64 DEMOCRAT OWN BIG
Need more subsidized housing. Vail Resorts is largest employer but
they don't provide enough housing and only pay a small percentage

Vail SHOULD NOT penalize the rent by owner population. RBO is
NOT the root cause of this problem. Financial incentives should be
created for the private sector to provide employee housing. Large
employers such as Vail Resorts and Vail Health should be forced to
comply with housing strategies similar to the other large employer in
town - the Town itself. The Town should also implement a minimum
wage to provide a sustainable wage. The town of Vail needs a good

I think that Vail Resorts should be a more active partner with the town
in developing housing. They are the largest employer and it seems that
the town is funding all the housing project for their employees. It
would be nice if Vail Resorts took the onus to purchase, work with
developers to add housing to the town for their employees to live in.
For example: the last council meeting around the project where the
big horn sheep typically roam, why was the Town of Vail financing
that project? Why wouldn't Vail Resorts finance that project and just
make it housing for their employees? It would be interesting to see
what the % breakdown of the housing gap is by employer or business
type...
FEMALE 18-34 REFUSED OWN BIG
All I know is that it is unsafe for people who work in town and live in
Vail, unless they live with a lot of roommates. Anything that could
help bring in more emergency service personnel closer to town would
help.
FEMALE 35-44 REFUSED OWN BIG Build more apartments such as timber ridge type.
FEMALE 35-44 REFUSED OWN BIG
The town needs to be more proactive in supplementing those with
rental units available so the owners can charge less for rent but not
shorted on fair market value. This would allow for owners to allow 6
month rentals for seasonal workers and allow some financial breathing
room for the work force coming to Vail who can not afford to pay
$1000+ just for their room.

I have noticed that there are lots of housing units going up in Edwards.
Perhaps the Town of Vail could secure some units and continue to
provide free ECO bus passes to move employees and cut down on
parking woes. I STRONGLY BELIEVE that the East Vail Parcel should
NOT be built upon-for anything.
MALE 55-64 REFUSED OWN BIG
The unavailability of homes for residents has always been a problem
to some degree. I think it's important for the Town to identify the
factors contributing to this situation. In my view the proliferation of
the "short term rental" in residential neighborhoods as a business
model, and the virtually unrestricted 2nd, 3rd, 4th home market, are
contributing significantly to the availability and affordability of homes.
Put a moratorium on short term rentals, and a housing impact fee on
2nd home purchases. Require that new or expanding businesses
provide housing for employees as a cost of doing business. Our large
local employers - VR, Vail Health need to provide housing for their
employees or contribute to a housing fund. Public / private
partnerships and subsides similar to In Deed to fill in the gaps.
FEMALE 65+REFUSED OWN BIG YES! Without housing, Town of Vail can not continue to thrive.
MALE 65+REFUSED OWN BIG
Work with local businesses and development companies to increase
the availability of employee housing, throughout the county and not
just down valley. Housing needs to increase close to Vail Village.
FEMALE REFUSED REFUSED OWN BIG
For starters, build what private developers are building. So far the
density the Town has built is embarassing - virtually no increase at
timber Ridge, exceptionally low density at Champ is despite pleas
from many locals to include some multi-family buildings, for example.

Restructure archaic rules to allow existing townhouse associations to
more easily expand when they want to add employee housing or deed

Lions Ridge is an expensive joke. When the rest of Timber Ridge is

Further regulate short term rentals by capping the number of
registrations allowed in certain zoning areas, or creating higher
taxes/fees for properties owned as second homes or by out-of-town
owners. The higher tax rates and fees could be put into developing
more deed restricted housing. New deed restricted development is
preferable to deed restricting existing housing because of the quality
and ability to create units suitable for varying household sizes. Deed
restricting existing housing also removes homes from the market and
may ultimately increase the cost of housing in the Town. The
economic impact is unknown, but by creating new deed restricted
units a secondary market would be created, which is not impacting
existing homes.

millennial makes less than their monthly rent and are some of the only

I do not think its the towns problem, its the owners of the businesses
who do not take in consideration the cost of living. Unfortunately, due
to the supply and demand the landlords have a case to raise your rent

due to others not being able to afford the rent due to the cost of living.
The problem will be lack of employees in the future, I have seen this
occurring more for lack of employees than in the past years. I would
have Peter Nobel tear down his employee housing in Matterhorn and
build upon the property more housing that is sufficient for employees
at his cost. The VRBIO's are taking over the county. The only solution

FEMALE 18-34 UNAFFILIATED RENT BIG
I think more affordable housing is nessecary, not just for Vail

means apartments for $650 or less. This is AFFORDABLE. A studio
apartment for over $1000 is crazy. I make $20,000/year as a preschool
teacher, this county would not run without teachers like me yet the
only way I can afford to live here is not having a car and splitting my
apartment cost with my boyfriend and 2 other roommates. I can't even
think about having a family here so I'll move away before I do. Which

MALE 55-64 DEMOCRAT OWN NOT TOO MUCH
Large hotels and Vail Resorts have a failing business model of paying
their employees less than is necessary to live on. Their business model
has a bedrock principle that they will get the community to pay to
support their businesses' employees housing. The Town of Vail and the
citizens should not be supporting this failed business model. Most of
the employees of these businesses could much more easily live in
communities such as Eagle-Vail. The next thing that is going to happen
is that Eagle County is going to propose some type of affordable
housing Tax, why should Vail potentially have two taxes on it? The
Town of Vail has no business in providing housing.
MALE 55-64 DEMOCRAT OWN NOT TOO MUCH
We need to keep the character of our town. More housing = more
congestion, less wildlife, more parking problems. Eventually less

The Town of Vail should consider what the limit is on its capacity to

Subsidizing Town of Vail employee housing with taxpayer money is

MALE 65+UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT
This, and the preceding questions, are badly biased, because using the
term "residents", presumes that the only solution for Vail employee
housing shortages must be in Vail. I believe that housing in Vail should
only be subsidized by government for people who MUST be able to
come to work in Vail if I-70 is closed. All other subsidized housing
should be down valley, simply because it's much cheaper to build
there. A county wide housing authority, or something similar, must be
developed. Transportation is an obvious issue, but addressing it should
be a part of the task of the housing authority.
MALE 65+UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT
Use the existing tools where appropriate, ie inclusionary zoning. But I
feel the Town should participate in regional solutions where there is a
greater bang for the buck in the housing market. I do not believe that
the current approach, like zoning questionable parcels that impact
wildlife or have other problems are the solution. The fact is that land
within the town is expensive. There are numerous potential sites close
by in Avon, Magnus Lindholm's parcels for example where more
housing could be built at a fraction of the cost in Vail. Granted
transportation would need to be part of the solution as well, but I
think there are many more opportunities to be explored in the areas
adjoining the town, than some of the half baked projects like the East
Vail Bighorn Sheep winter range.
FEMALE REFUSED UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT No additional property tax to the residents.
FEMALE REFUSED UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT
Possibly charge a very high fee to individual homeowners who are
VRBO -ing their second home or their primary residence. This housing
problem has always existed-lack of homes and condos. It was this way
in the 70s & 80s when we were finally able to buy a fixer-upper. Vail
Resorts needs to take on a much larger role in solving the housing
shortage. It's this way all over the US-the ocean resorts & cities have
this same housing problem. People could move to NEBRASKA - their
ads are on TV every day.

hard for companies to retain staff and pay them enough to afford

restricted housing for 11 years and now have enough equity to

with out the program. The current new deed restricted housing starting
at $500k missed the mark though. That is way to much to start at. They
may have to look a little less fancy and maybe cheaper interiors, but I
think $250k - $300k would have hit the people we want to stick

A deed-restricted home is can't be rented out. The town has paid
them money so that they can't rent it out. The town has paid them
some money so that when they go to sell the house, they are limited
to what they can sell it for.

It is a property that has had certain restrictions on its deed that can do
any number of things. (ie. limit its resale value, limited its
appreciation, limit who can live there, limit the time it can be resold.)
Really its whatever the owners of the property says he want the deed
restriction to imply.
MALE 45-54 DEMOCRAT OWN NOT AT ALL
Deed restricted housing limits what the land can be used for and what

MALE 35-44 REFUSED OWN NOT AT ALL
A "deed restricted home" limits who can live in a particular unit
(usually a resident of Town of Vail or Eagle County in our particular
case). It also artificially limits the appreciation one can realize from an
investment. This is a largely unforeseen consequence of home
ownership in a"deed-restricted"unit. Taking out a loan at 4-6% and
only being able to make 3% on your deed restriction guarantees a loss
for the buyer. This loss may be offset by increasing rent...which only
further exasperates the housing "problem."
MALE 35-44 REPUBLICAN OWN NOT AT ALL
A "deed restricted home" is a way to provide housing for people who
work in Vail. These people like to complain about housing-But the
majority of them don't want to live in Vail anyway. They?re having
families and want to live down valley where families live. Again, not a
Town of Vail problem. Every resort town has this issue. You don't see
Aspen or Telluride building "affordable"housing"right in the middle of
town. They put money into an"affordable"bus service.

A community is not a community without

congestion, air pollution and global

encouraging people to live in Vail
encourages support of local shops, bars and

Deed-restricted housing helps mitigate the
possibility for available housing to be

As we all know, it can be difficult to staff
our businesses. There are so many great
businesses looking for help and it is an
employee?s market. If we have to move
down valley in order to own our own
home, we might eventually leave our Vail
jobs to work closer to home. Additionally,
locals living in town are the heartbeat of
this community. If people keep moving
down valley and second homeboy owners
continue to buy homes here instead of
locals, we not only lose our employees, we
lose our sense of community.
FEMALE 35-44 UNAFFILIATED RENT BIG STRONGLY AGREE
I do not agree that Town of Vail had done
enough to ensure a viable community
through housing for the future. I believe that
Town of Vail needs to partner with Vail
resorts and or Vail Health ( largest
employers) to come up with solutions
together. We do not need more rentals for
transient employees that trash the town and
leave. We need to rebuild a community that
is welcoming and affordable for all income
levels- especially the employees that run
and work in the businesses within our town.

I think having deed restricted homes
available to locals helps to keep the

Privately built deed restricted housing

are seeing better increases in home value

restricted properties allow. This effectively
limits the amount of return I can see on an

I believe part of the root of the problem is second and

base measureably. We already tax our visitors at a ratio
that is high, this is designed in my opinion in part to keep
property taxes low.. most areas have a higher property tax

FEMALE 18-34 REPUBLICAN RENT SOMEWHAT PROPERTY TAX
Part of the housing problem is that people buy 2nd / 3rd /
4th homes here which leaves less inventory for people
who want to live here year-round. By taxing that market,
the people creating the problem are having to contribute
to the solution. I'd also be interested in seeing funds raised
through a lodging tax. Lodging takes space that otherwise
could have potentially had housing on it and those
lodging guests require services from people who can't live
in Vail because there is a hotel someplace that an
apartment complex could have been built. Raising sales
tax would target more people, but you already have
residents complaining because they don't adequately
budget their money to afford housing, so raising the sales
tax will just increase their problem / complaints.
MALE 18-34 UNAFFILIATED RENT SOMEWHAT PROPERTY TAX
Property tax pertains to property owners, which the
majority in the Town of Vail are secondary homeowners.
People who are secondary home owners are initially
pushing out locals in order for them to visit our town only
a few weeks out of the year. I believe that since these
homeowners are abundant, they can assist more in making
affordable housing that way there can be a community
when they decide to visit, instead of visiting a resort.

would have been a lot better use of maximizing the number of units as

I was happy to learn that Vail purchased housing in Edwards. I'm a full-
time resident who works hard to make a living here and raise our kids.
I'm in a Bald Mountain Townhome we purchased in 2008 at top
value. I've been paying a big mortgage and my home value has not
returned to our purchase price. I was a little angry when one of our
units was just converted to deed-restricted. It makes me feel like now
my place will never come back. I have been watching giant new
homes popup throughout East Vail. I get it. Normal folks do not live in
those homes. I'm personally counting on the high-end development of
Vail to bring up the value of my little place. Please don't crush that
possibility.

The housing lottery is a great idea. However, $350,000 to $700,000 is
not affordable for most people without a trust fund/ someone who had
their college debt paid off. There needs to be assistance to young
people who want to live and stay in the valley that are not trust
funders. There also needs to be a better way to run the lottery without
20-100 applicants looking at the same home (there are also many

someone who actually lives here year-round).

Based on the questions asked in this survey, I like this idea of a

glad to see the the Vail Town Council growing its commitment to
action with the Vail Local Housing Authority. I feel like you are on the
right track and want to see more. Middle Creek was a great idea, but
was designed years ago and can't keep up with the current demand.
Chamonix was also a great idea, but again can't keep up with current
demand. 6 West Edwards is also on the right track, but due to
accessibility (car, public transit, etc), there are more existing options
and therefore less impact.

I feel it's too little too late for this problem to be addressed. The issue
of housing had been brought up to town council, Vail housing
authority and anyone who would listen by many locals for an
extraordinary amount of time. The lions ridge project went from
promising to disaster. The Chamonix project went from promising to
disaster. It feels that the Town of Vail is more worried about its brass
statues than the element Vail 'Vail', which is the people and the
experiences it provides to its visitors. Not asking the world from the
Town of Vail, but with a little help our family and many others like it
will be forced, begrudgingly, to leave. The cost to commute to work in
Vail versus closer communities is negligible. My family and I have

I realize that Town of Vail is finally making efforts, but it needs to be so

The Chamonix development and Vail InDEED program have been
instrumental in bringing relatively affluent workers back into Vail.
However, for the typical Vail worker, those properties are out of reach
and un-affordable. In my opinion, the Town must build truly
affordable housing units available for purchase? Those suitable for
workers earning between 45-60k (and not the median, 80k and
above). Think understated quality?like the Red Sandstone development
with one stall garages. These are timeless units that will look great
generations from now, but they must be priced not for the affluent, but
for the typical hard working Vail employee. Respectfully, it's
imperative these are affordably priced between the 190's to low 300's.
This will go a long way in giving back to typical Vail employees who
greatly contribute to the continued success of the Town and resort. Vail
is a wildly successful, world class ski town. it's important we all share-
in-on this success to sustain a diverse and inclusive resort community
by providing realistically and affordably priced homes for the typical
worker to purchase. Sites to consider: East Vail parcel as there is plenty
of room, Middle Creek (immediately west of), and the old Roost Motel
location. For rentals, consider additional units in back of Buzzard?s
Park and/or developing on the RV site west of Dobson. In closing, the
availability of affordable housing in Vail and down valley is truly at
crisis levels. Valuable employees are getting priced out and have
nowhere to go. I believe the Town and/or resort can do more to
mitigate the problem. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my
concerns.

Land in Town of Vail is 'beach front'. Employees should not expect to

spend it on useless programs and perks for the doctors and executives.
The Valley's continued death by a thousand tax cuts program is

lodging to fund it. If Denver can put a 5% stadium tax on hotels, you
can put a 10% housing tax on all lodging. Due what Teluride does

There is no doubt that the need for employee housing is very acute.
However, this need should not be an excuse to bludgeon our planning
rules into oblivion on greenfield sites and thereby destroy some of the
things that make Vail attractive. Two projects need more careful
evaluation: the east Vail site needs to consider the impacts of excessive
development on the only sheep herd left in the upper valley. ?Bighorn
Road? will soon be the epitaph for that herd if the proposed
development continues as currently proposed. And that six story, 600
foot long west Vail monster proposed to sit 20? off the Frontage Road,
approved in the name of employee housing, should get a more critical
review when the new buyers come back for approvals. Incredibly
dense development was approved for the Evervail sites. Why can't VR
and the Town of Vail look there for higher density housing?

Ever Vail is a perfect example of where workforce housing could go--

In my neighborhood I reported numerous times over the course of

sleeping bag on the floor for $25/night. The building should be
condemned it is so substandard, but no action Is ever taken. During
the Burton Games there were 25-30 kids staying in a 3 bedroom unit.
Other neighbors complained as well but nothing was done. I want
safe housing for workers in Town of Vail, but think that Vail Resorts
should take the lead to provide housing for more of their employees.
If Town of Vail want housing for it's employees and wants taxpayers
and tourists to pay for it, than it should manage the development
themselves, not assist in a project with a huge profit for the developer.
Also, cheap and ugly housing (such as what is under construction next
to Red Sandstone Elementary) should not be allowed to be duplicated
at Katsos Ranch. DRB is so strict with residential design guidelines

are redeveloped, then a seasonal employee housing could also be
added for the employees that come to work on the mountain and in

The housing issue will always be an issue, it's been around since the

stack a shack projects. Vail is losing its identity to the whole county
becoming filled with affordable / deed restricted projects. Gone are
the days of a ski town feeling like a ski town. And families staying and
growing families in Town. Maybe the Town could create some type of
homeownership loan program for down payments to help people /
families secure loans and get into existing housing, instead of
everyone living in a stack a shack community, The Town should start
spending time creating some type of register / guidelines preserving
buildings with any type of historical or architectural significance to
Vail. They would be better served building on the great Town that has
been established and putting people in existing homes as opposed to
developing every last morsel of land with stack a shack! There are
plenty of those around since the 70?s, that can still be occupied! From
what I can see, the problem is never going to go away. Therefore,

developed. Transportation is an obvious issue, but addressing it
should be a part of the task of the housing authority.

Local property owners should not pay via taxes or otherwise for the
mis-management by town of Vail councils over the years. Your
predecessors blew it long ago.

See previous comments about using tax monies to subsidize homes for

MALE 65+UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT
The current employee housing frenzy has completely overlooked the
residents that has made a committment to like in Vail. Examples of this
are a approval and near approval of th edevelopment of the Roost
property and th eredevelopment of 2000 and 2004 Chamonix Lane.
The prevalance of short term housing ( with no quantity restrictions) is
also ruining our neighborhoods.
MALE 65+UNAFFILIATED OWN SOMEWHAT
When there is a piece of land within the town of Vail that can be
developed for employee housing, the allowable density should be
increased on those sites to accommodate more housing. I believe the
East ail site on the north side of frontage road should be allowed more
density.

I am not in favor of an additional property tax for full time residents,
nor should it be on the fall ballot.

I just think that we cannot and should not try to solve all the housing
issues. These problems exist in ever beautiful place that draws people
to want to live there. Vail will become a place that isn't desirable if
we grow too large!!
MALE 35-44 DEMOCRAT REFUSED SOMEWHAT
Deed restricted housing is not attractive to a lot of the people I know
who work in the valley. It effectively limits the amount of return on
investment we can make in the teal estate portion of our investment
portfolios and the deed restricted options aren't as attractive in
comparison to counterparts that are a farther drive from town. I'd
highly recommend taking a harder look at similar communities in
Northern California and Washington state that face housing issues and
adopting some measures that employers/municipalities have
successfully used. Subsidizing housing is a solution that I believe
would have great success with not much more of a financial impact..
this is just a hastily put together example and I'd have to see what the
costs associated with retaining a single employee are now to make it
relative.. but with say 500k a year you could attract, subsidize, and
potentially retain 25 employees. Each gets a 20k a year housing
subsidy to live and own in the town of Vail. The subsidy lasts 5 years
which effectively subsides 100k of mortgage each and allows them to
buy at market price, become an equity stakeholder in their property
and the town and incentivizes them to put down roots. Not sure what
your current budget is but with a 2 million dollar revolving budget this
project could effectively attract 100 buyers a year and after five years
add 25 every new year..

Focus on solutions for singles rather than only caring about families.
You can fit a lot more one bedroom units into a space than you can fit
3 bedroom units. We have a need for quantity of housing units and
there are already plenty of housing units in Vail for families while the
singles are made to feel unwelcome. Good luck operating the town
when you only have employees with children.

Employees deserve affordable housing within the Towns limits in order

June 18, 2019 - Page 399 of 404
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: June 18, 2019
Subject: Resolution No. 28, Series of 2019 a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of
Homestake at Vail, Unit B-212, 1081 Vail View Drive, Vail, Colorado
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the purchase of Homestake at Vail, Unit B-212.
2. BACKGROUND
The availability of housing for its employees remains an ongoing need for the Town of Vail
municipal government. As the third largest employer in Vail, the Town of Vail too is challenged
by the need for housing for its workforce. Over the years the Town has taken a wide range of
approaches to addressing its employee housing needs, including “buying down” homes for
purchase by Town of Vail employees.
The Homestake at Vail home is a great starter-type home for a Town of Vail employee
interested in home ownership in Vail. The home is a +/- 580 square foot, one bedroom/one
bathroom, end unit with easy access to recreation and to free Town of Vail public transit. The
home includes surface parking for two vehicles. Monthly association dues are currently $368
and include gas heat, water, waste disposal and recycling, snow removal, common area
maintenance, and common area insurance. The home is offered for sale at $359,000. A similar
home in the Homestake at Vail development recently closed for more than $360,000.
The Homestake at Vail is an older property in Vail. Town of Vail files indicate the property was
developed in the mid-1970’s. It is currently in original condition, yet very good condition, with
only a few minor updates completed over the years. An initial inspection of the property has
been completed. No significant issues were identified during the inspection. There is need,
however, to update the interior fixtures and appliances and replace the seal damaged south
facing windows. An initial estimate of the window repairs is approximately $6,500 with interior
updates totaling an additional +/- $10,000. The property is being offered for sale “as is”.
June 18, 2019 - Page 400 of 404
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
A proposal for purchase has been prepared with participation and collaboration with several
Town of Vail Departments, including administration, finance, public works, human resources
and housing. The proposal for purchase recommends the following:
1) Execute a purchase contract subject to an appraisal, inspection, and other due diligence
provisions
2) Acquire the property subject to an assignable contract
3) Repair the seal damaged windows prior to resale ensuring a transferrable warranty
4) Record a primary residence deed-restriction and a Town of Vail first option of purchase
on the home.
5) Place a maximum resale price appreciation cap of 3% per annum on the home through
the deed-restriction
6) “Buy down” the value of the home and offer it for sale to a Town of Vail employee
7) Offer the home for-sale to a Town of Vail employee, subject to the deed-restriction and a
first option to purchase. This approach mirrors the Red Sandstone Townhomes model.
8) Funding for the initial purchase and subsequent “buy down” would likely come from the
Town’s capital fund (TBD)
4. NEXT STEPS
If authorized, the Town staff will proceed forward with the next steps outlined in the contract for
purchase of the residential property. Closing and possession is presently set for July 2, 2019.
5. ACTION REQUESTED
Does the Vail Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute the contract to Buy and
Sell Real Estate to facilitate the Town’s purchase of Unit B-212, Homestake at Vail
Condominium, 1081, Vail View Drive, Vail, Colorado, consistent with the recommendation
outlined herein?
