EHU Compliance Enforcement Policy Recommendation Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director Ruther reviewed the reason for a compliance enforcement update and noted the Housing department is looking for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for the June 16, 2020 meeting. There are opportunities for improvement and to simplify the annual compliance submittal process. The Town attorneys and Housing department recommend Zero tolerance, 100% compliance Create online compliance process A $250 fee for non-compliance A $100 per day, per infraction fine until non-compliance resolved A lien process on the property begins as soon as non-compliant and will be used as a fee collection method McDougall suggested an exemption or postpone method be codified to allow for exceptions for life circumstances so if an exemption is needed it is not arbitrary. Ruther will discuss with the attorneys noting the intention is 100% compliance. The Authority is in support of the policy recommendation. Ruther will bring back for final approval after receiving Council feedback. 5. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members 5.1. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members Presenter: Steve Lindstrom, Chairman Ruther provided an update and next steps for alterative housing sites and Booth Heights. Council requested 7 steps to address wildlife habitat. There is an opportunity to relocate the Booth Heights project to Middle Creek Lot 3. Middle Creek Village lease has to be amended and subdivision process first. The Town hired 359 Design to draft a concept of residential housing on Lot 3. Next step is to look at other sites that could accommodate housing, 3 have been identified and suggested by the Town Council: Donovan Park Middle Bench West Middle Creek Parcel, between Middle Creek Village and Solar Vail CDOT parcel at the corner of Spruce Way and Columbine Drive in East Vail The point of looking at alternate sites is to demonstrate the Town/Housing can identify and meet the housing plan goals. The Town needs to look for opportunities to relocate Children’s Garden of Learning (CGL). The Town looked for a partnership opportunity between Vail Recreation and CGL at opportunity to renovation the Vail Gymnastics center to accommodate an early learning center. Moffet expressed concern at the direction being taken. He thinks going this direction is a way to avoid political backlash for Booth Heights. Upside is an opportunity to redevelopment of Timber Ridge, thinks the Authority needs to weigh in on parking requirement updating. Why are we letting parking restrict density? Ruther stated the Town is looking at alternatives for other housing sites. Community Development has been instructed by Council to review alternatives and options to address parking with regarding to housing zone district. The Authority is concerned the Highline redevelopment project is a lost housing opportunity at no cost to the Town due to the recent height reduction and lost units. Morales noted Vail Health is on track to complete their Vail InDEED version of funding for a deed restriction. Vail health held a lottery for their employees and will contribute funds to the employee’s purchase in exchange for a deed restriction. This deed restriction will apply toward the new hospital’s employee housing requirement. The Authority will hold the June 23, 2020 meeting via Zoom and expect to have the July 14, 2020 meeting in the Council Chambers.
