1. Call to Order

Coordinator.
No one from the public is present.
2. Main Agenda
2.1. Vail InDEED Program Property Eligibility
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Ruther provided an overview of a Vail InDEED request for a property located at 3073
Bellflower Drive, Unit 1. The property is located less than 300 feet outside of the Town's
municipal boundary in unincorporated Eagle County. Vail Town Council Resolution No. 34,
Series of 2016, established the VLHA as the Town's agent and prescribed terms to implement
deed restriction negotiations. VLHA's determination may be made regarding intent of
eligibility. The Housing department recommends VLHA recommends the property is eligible
for the InDEED program based on criteria highlighted in the memo.
If determined eligible, staff recommends the Board convenes into executive session to review
the application.
Wilkins asked if the Town attorney believes the wording in the "deed restrictions in the Town"
is OK.
Per Ruther the next step if VLHA recommends eligibility would be Town Council ratification of
VLHA recommendation on August 20, 2019.
Lindstrom asked the Board if the property would be one they would review if it were inside the
Town boundary. Members agreed this property should be considered.
The Board questioned how enforcement would be handled.
Ruther said the Town would use similar deed restriction terms used at 6 West Apartments
minus the preferential rental to Town of Vail municipal employees. The Town would rely on
breach of contract. All other terms are the same including the owner would still need to
perform the annual verification.
The Board believes this Vail InDEED request should be reviewed as it meets the intent of the
program.
McDougall suggested the Town make a blanket approval for properties outside Town
boundaries eligible for the program. For example, all properties east of Dowd Junction as
they contribute to maintaining and sustaining community in Vail.
Ruther stated if Council ratified the VLHA recommendation, the Town would need to clarify
the meaning of outside Town boundaries.
Wilkins wondered if a de-annexation/annexation history would be helpful to review. There
could be value to understand history.
McDougall moved to support to the eligibility of 3073 Bellflower Drive for Vail InDEED review
and funding.
