She read a draft of something she was considering submitting to the Vail Daily as a"Letter to the Editor"related to the shortage in affordable housing needed for the hospitality industry, local employees,entry level healthcare workers, educators, first responders,government staff, low-income elderly,and those just arriving in Eagle County. She believed the solution was not apartment buildings with limited parking but alternative models that may be built on smaller spaces and in smaller clusters. This should include ADUs,tiny homes,ranch duplex and triplex designs and cabins for seasonal workers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Given the additional property tax revenue expected from the unprecedented real estate market, some money should be available to promote this type of housing. The multi-story,high density development often overwhelmed established roads,utilities, schools and parking infrastructure,not to mention disrupted neighborhood traffic flows,parks,and trails usage. This influx necessitated costly road improvements and put stress on local fire and police districts. She believed that slow and steady wins the race. She asked the commissioners to consider the complexity and the enormity of the issue and the number of bills being considered. She believed it warranted a separate educational meeting because the Colorado State Legislature was scheduled to adjourn on May 8th. Commissioner Updates Commissioner McQueeney had no updates Commissioner Chandler-Henry reminded folks it was spring and animals were on the move and didn't seem to be concerned about traffic. Secondly, she reminded everyone about the alerts provided by the Emergency Management team and encouraged people to sign up.
