4.4 Chamonix Townhomes Right of First Refusal Discussion
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director
The Authority discussed the items that were brought forth in Public Comment by several owners within
the Chamonix Vail community. The consensus from the owners at the Public Comment was their
desire to add a ROFR to the Chamonix Vail Community deed restriction which will allow owner first
rights of properties before they go to public lottery. They wish to explore the possibilities of this route in
effort for growing families to remain in the community.
The Authority agrees to discuss and further explore the options and alternatives of a policy change
and Ruther will follow-up with Town Attorney in effort to determine if this is an option and report back
to the Authority. Ruther will get through the practical questions and legalities and then report back to
the Authority so they have an opportunity to make a recommendation to Town Council. Additionally,
other HOAs and Vail InDEED owners need to be considered when determining the next steps.
Amendments to HOA documents would also require mortgage lender weigh in.
Lindstrom reminds the Authority to consider unintended consequences that excludes other potential
owners who have an equal opportunity.
Williams appreciates the group exploring it, based on a compelling argument to keep families in Vail.
