2006 Transitions in Mountain Communities Executive Summary

Transitions in Mountain Communities is the second phase of Northwest Colorado Council of Government’s (NWCCOG) Second Home Study.

Phase One – The Study of the Social and Economic Effects of Second Homes

In 2003, NWCCOG began working with four of its member jurisdictions – Summit, Grand, Eagle and Pitkin Counties – to measure the number of second homes and study their effects on the local economy. The Town of Vail received a Colorado Block Development Grant to fund the study, which surveyed local and second homeowners in all four counties.

The results of the first phase included:

• Typology The study analyzed over 64,000 housing units in the four participating counties. Housing units were coded as second homes if the homeowner’s mailing address was located outside the county in which the property was located. • Survey of homeowners NWCCOG surveyed local and second homeowners to determine their attitudes, behaviors, and values, and the current and intended future use of the housing unit owned by second homeowners. • Economic Base Analysis NWCCOG analyzed information gathered from the survey to measure economic drivers, such as visitors, income, and the number of jobs generated from second homes.

Phase Two – Transitions in Mountain Communities: Resort Economies and their Secondary Effects

In 2006, the same four counties, plus the City of Steamboat Springs, decided to have NWCCOG repeat the study to get further information and determine trends. (The City of Steamboat Springs was not a NWCCOG member when the first phase of the study was conducted.) Their funds were matched by a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) Energy and Mineral Impact grant.

The second phase of the study, known as Transitions in Mountain Communities, was designed to survey homeowners on many of the same topics included in the first phase. The results were used to determine trends and provide information to local officials as they plan and forecast for the future.

In addition, the second phase focused on the impact of second homes on local workers and workforce housing. The NWCCOG Second Home Study Steering Committee (compiled of a representative from each participating jurisdiction) decided to update the study name to Transitions in Mountain Communities to illustrate the increased reach of the study.

Regionwide

• Across the study region, including all four counties and the City of Steamboat Springs, the percentage of homes owned by second homeowners decreased slightly, from 59% in 2003 to 55% in 2006. • Regionwide, second homeowners occupied their properties an average of 64 days a year – most often during ski season and the summer months of July and August. • Second homeowners visit their properties most frequently during the ski season (an average of 24 days December through March) and in the summer (an average of 20 days in July & August). • 73% of second homeowners surveyed said they consider their property a vacation home rather than an investment. • Regionwide, the top three reasons second homeowners purchased their properties were slightly different in 2006 than 2003, with the third and fourth reasons changing places.

Responses for Open Ended question # 98 - Suggestions

Edwards = Unincorporated Eagle County, how much sense does that make?

Avon town government gave away the store in it's deal with the folks who have developed the Village at Avon. Small towns alas often get mediocre governments for a variety of reasons.

Would like noise abatement on west side of Vail Pass

We need representation from The El JEbel side of the county! immigration needs to be legal immigration in all areas

The amount of traffic on I-70 is causing excessive noise, trouble commuting to front range and allowing those visitors on the front range from using Vail's recreation amenities to the extent that they might if getting here and home reasonable.

We need a bike trail from Vail pass to Glenwood Canyon. The Rails-to-Trails concept is very appealing! Can we make it happen?

We need more bike paths especially into the Eby Creek area and throught the highway interchange. I would ride my bike to work and more often but I am afraid of getting hurt. The traffic congestion is a problem getting to work in the morning and leaving work at night. The post office congestion is also a problem. Home delivery or delivery to groups of boxes is needed for some neighborhoods. With all of the growth in Eagle the sense of community is getting lost.

Community needs to better address the rapid growth of the area. the current infrastructure is insufficient to address the rate of growth. The county should consider some of the concurrency regulations imposed in Florida to shape growth. Tap fees (cost for a new home to connect) for new homes should be increased dramatically to address the scarcity of water.

Please keep open space open!!

Property Taxes are too high!

Residence is in Eagle Vail

Development and the pressure to develop more in open space areas seems to take priority over keeping a sense of community through Eagle Valley. It would be great to have greater zoning laws from local municipalities and county government to restrict building closer to wilderness areas and not be enticed by lucrative contractors and their bids to buy out pristine lands

Because I live 21 miles from Gypsum and 28 miles from Eagle..It would be nice if they would send out flyers for special events that the town is having to rural areas. It would be nice if decent health Insurance for mountain areas where also addressed.

The current water rates are very high, if we conserve water the minimum billing is greater than the 2 month rate in Denver.

News reporting is too biased. Local polotics are too partisan. Too much control by East-West Partners and Vail Associates.

Venturoni Surveys & Research, Inc. Eagle County

Forest Fire Evacution Proceedures and Responsibility, and support

Right now Vail is torn up with new construction. I am concerned with lack of space and buildings cutting off the view. Overall I enjoy Vail very much as does my family.

There needs to be control of illegal immigrants, health, automobile and liabilty insurances need to be enforced. Education system needs assistance due to overflow of immigrants. i do not want them to build an alpine slide down the face of beaver creek mt. that will distroy the beauty of the mountain and scare away the wildlife.

I think there should be roundabouts at the exits for Eagle, and also at the intersection of Eby Creek Rd and Chambers Ave. THIS would help alleviate traffic (at the 9am and 5pm hours). We do NOT need another exit ramp in Eagle. We could use one for the airport. Also, let's see how well Costco and the Gypsum mall do before we add any more national retailers to the Eagle-Gypsum area. Long live small business!! Long live locals and our QUALITY OF LIFE!!!!

Please note that when you have asked for ratings on health services I am considering this non-publicly funded (private doctors), and for education I am including private education - which is excellent in the Roaring Fork Valley for this size community! I would like to comment on the lack of vision for mid-valley development. Planners and those with influence still seem to be in a "preserve all open land at all costs" and "smaller is better" mentality. The fact is, our resort communities are growing and increasing in population - where do we want the development to accomodate these people to occur? Do we want it up on the mountain? NO. Take a lesson from Englewood City Center, look at the TOD's happening in metro areas - development needs to occur near the commuting arteries. So do it there, make it dense, and leave the more rural areas to stay rural in nature and less dense in development. The development has to occur somewhere - it's time to take our heads out of the sand and look at a new paradigm.

We live in Vail inan unicorporated part of the county.

Since we have one child and are thinking of having another it would be great for us to be able to move into something a little bigger. Instead, our East Vail neighborhood is being filled out and rebuilt with multi-million dollar homes that we could never afford. It would be nice if there were some restrictions on the outragously oversized, unaffordable, unlived in single-family homes in the area and build something we could buy.

As a part time resident, I get little representation in the local government. we pay a disproportiante portion of the taxes with no say in what happens to the area.

Would like to have summer and later in day bus service to Lions Ridge Loop

Education adn daycare are a joke in this county. We plan on moving before our child hits school age because we have heard such horrible things about the entire school system.

I would like to see sound barriers put on I-70 to control the noise of the trucks passing through

Stricter dog poop pick-up enforcement needed. improve highway niose. improve parking.

We live in a beautiful community which is growing rapidly. We need to keep an eye on things so that we don't lose what we all came here for. We need to keep open space. We need to keep the ranches & horse properties. We need to keep it beautiful!

WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OPEN AIR EVENTS MUSIC ETC WE WERE GLAD TO SEE THE CROSSROADS PROJECT WILL GO FOWARD

Need a round-about at Lake Creek and Highway 6. It's impossilbe to make a left-hand turn during certain hours of the day and people from Lake Creek funnel through Homestead increasing the traffic burden within a residential area! Put a community center like 20-Below in Edwards; more central to teens in the area. Support the EVRF which will have room for that usage. Build the new High School on Miller Ranch!

What we need in Eagle is to build more affordable housing that is in excess of $400K. Please allow these developers to continue to build houses without upgrading the infrastructure. Traffic stinks in Eagle!!!

1. Establishing park and ride locations could ease some of our parking issues. 2 Transprotation needs to be looked at regionally not town by town

In winter I take RFTA (bus) to work, but have to cross a 4 lane hwy at night in order to get home. There is no nearby light or warning light that pedestrians cross the highway there. (Willits)

Beetle killer trees destroy scenic beauty

Keep Eagle small and rural.

Refer to #45, = +2 yr.graduate work

Traffic is becoming a major problem/ Gov. cooperation & $ between Eagle, Gypsum & Eagle County is sorely needed!

Affordable housing - building places people want to live in & call theirs. The people who work for the town af Vail should be required to live in the town of Vail. This would force Vail to fix the housing situation and have more people here full time.

Slow down high density growth areas. Limit size of suv's - ha ha and use of cell phones while driving. Bring back some locals. Address healthcare & cost of living issues. Refer to #53. We were both born there and moved 4 years ago - finally!

Minturn a very good place to live but very expensive Refer to #'s: 5.= 60 yrs. 42.= 85 88.= both 3 and 5 are marked whereas, 89.= is blank

Put in a "Whole Foods" store in Willits, or a Trader Joes refer to #55.= Kutcher Miller

Need a sound barrier/wall along 1-70. The trucks going up and down hill are quite annoying at night, making summertime sleeping with open doors very disturbing. refer to #'s 65.&66. I live in my Primary Home

Venturoni Surveys & Research, Inc. Eagle County

2006 NWCCOG Mountain Resort Homeowners Survey Page 26

Look for more qualified police officers who will do more cracking down on hard drugs. Be able to be compilent workers to save real issues. a children's museum

The town needs to take the 8 million dollars from the confrence center and putt in to child care (affordable)

Cannot afford excessive property tax increases be careful not to overtax middle income parks like Freedom Park are good support planned growth not no growth

My parents began taking my brothers and me to Beaver Creek in 1985, and we have spent almost every summer and Thanksgiving there since our first visit. Although I have never been a full-time resident of the Vail Valley, I will always consider this area to be my second home. In the future, I hope to bring my own family here so that my own children can enjoy the outdoors and develop their own appreciation for the beauty of this part of the country. I realize there is a fine balance between preserving the beauty of the natural wilderness of this area and accommodating the increasing demand for development--I do hope that local government officials realize that it is the natural beauty of this area's landscape that brought my parents here in the first place and that over-development may not be in the best long-term interests of the valley. Please do not forget what made the Vail Valley great!

No suggestions. We've never been to the property. It looks beautiful in the photos.

Vail has ignored green space, tennis courts, and density issures in their rush to re-develope. For an example, the Forest Rd tennis court were demolished so huge houses could be built and the land sold for an enormous amount. What happens when the only thing to do in Vail is look at other people's houses? stop! save what's left of what was once left of this beautiful alpine valley! Haven't they developed everything already into obilivian? the airport is big enough! no more expansion - make people appreciate the mountains and their beauty. And a little extra effort to get there is ok and maybe a good thing for most people. refer to #86. should be blank = they have a ? refer tp #90. = ?

Public education seems to be very poor. No one wants to put their kids in the public schools-that needs to change asap for the success of our future town.

Need down valley bike path refer to #71. = "full time year round"

1)extend & increase bike paths- very desireable for locals & vistors 2)Round abouts are excellent 3)Avon is still an unattractive town & unfriendly to pedestrians not a pleasant enviroment to spend an evening or to walk around. 4)Vail Valley is generally not pedestrian friendly, I cannot walk. to shopping, entertainment, schools, etc. from Eagle-Vail 5)Buses are not a desireable public transportation atternative. Clean & quiet light rail preferable. 6)Mitigate Interstate 70 noise & visual effect.

Use Railway to Cohorset ski area w/ Eagle Co airport

*more CMC classes or branch boudng *affordable restaurants & stops *cross county trils for skiing including golf course *Locals discount for shops, restaurants, services etc *Mid vally hospital, better gof times for locals

Just fine

I think the "boat" building by the first Avon round-a-bout is so ugly and is one of the first impressions into the town, blocks movement into the buildings past it..... needs to be torn down.

Please don't let Vail gdravy more crowded. It is nice when it remains no larger or more crowded.

#'s 92,93,& 94. = ?

Bury the freeway more ethnic Cv Hunal events

The sense of community and recreational amenities of the area attracted second homebuyers who came in such numbers they bid up cost of the housing supply which displaced local resident employees and altered the classless character of the community into the rich and the servants. Much money was made but soul of community destroyed. We should have zoned a limited area for second homes and prohibited them in most areas.

Taxes for property are too high. Building/remodeling/ costs are to high for permits and to restredtive

Responses for Open Ended question # 98 - Suggestions

Granby needs to improve its appearance, attract shopping and restaurants.

We haven't built on the lot as it has been too expensive and now the pine beetle has ruined the trees.

It would be great to have a Valley wide recreation center. Please-no more golf courses. How about paving the trail from WP to Granby so it can compete against the Vail-Breckridge bike trail?

Rate of growth/development way too high Real estate prices are skyrocketing; a major concern Through traffic on US 40 too high Need to retain Fraser Valley open space Retain natural conditions of Mary Jane

Improve night life in downtown Winter Park. Scrap the stupid skateboard park and spend money on a pedestrian mall instead!!

I think Grand County needs to address the PINE BEETLE problem The whole area seems to be infected. I believe controlling the spread is absolutely a #1 priorty in 2006. It impossible to do on a one or two property basis. We have sprayed our property but our neighbors have not. If the county doesn't do something now we will not have any trees. H E L P H E L P H E L P SAVE THE TREES while we still have some to save. Please note, we are not hard core enviromentalist we are just concerned about the infestation we have NOW.

There needs to be a SERIOUS look and redistribution of domestic water resources and the impact of Denver's early acquisition of water rights to the detriment of the rest of the state and it's future! Colorado water law needs to be brought up to date. Agricultural water use / law is fine but the abuse of large cities at the expense of the rest of the state and the western US is WRONG! The Fraser river is one of the most threatened rivers in the nation due to Denver's water glut, uncontrolled growth, and waste.

It is encouraging to see the energy and effort being put forth by the Town of Granby to enhance the downtown/Hwy 40 frontage and to promote the economic base of the town.

There are too many tacky, over-priced condo and townhouse developments mushrooming in the Winter Park/Fraser/Granby area, each of which is writing off environmental concerns. The elk, deer, fox, moose, etc. are being squeezed out of their habitat, and the landscape is beginning to look like Vail (not a good thing). The Fraser River is highly endangered.

A swiming pool for the kids would be nice. More retail shopping opportunities in the county.

I'd be happy to share more once we build and start spending days and weeks at a time at the residence

Something should be done about the pine beetles in the forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. With the spread of the pine beetles and the death of so many pine trees there will be a major wildfire disaster that will burn not only the forests but the dwellings and towns. In addition, the area will lose tourists because people don't want to see a forest of brown trees.

I think our community needs to remain vigilant about water issues given the increasing demands for water from the Front Range, as well as wildfire mitigation issues given the pine beetle infestation. In addition, I believe for economic stability we should attempt to promote a diversity of industries instead of being so dependent upon tourism, real estate development and sales.

Venturoni Surveys & Research, Inc. Grand County

2006 NWCCOG Mountain Resort Homeowners Survey Page 30

Keep it the unpretentious mountain place. Don't become a Vail/Aspen. Divert traffic from downtown WP via a secondary road to build a shopping/restaurant area. Keep the realtors at bay. Make it affordable to hold large lots without huge taxes so the open feeling is retained.

Bus service directly to Mary Jane. Now that most of the parking at the WP base has been removed, it is very difficult for families to ski there. Access to the beginner hill and ski school is very cumbersome. This seems to attract people to stay at the area at the expense of the town.

The local community often voices concerns of poor economy and not enough business in their stores/establishments. But as second homeowners, visiting when we can, we find the service at many of the establishments in town so rude that it's difficult to support them.

National park, national forest, local authorities, homeowner associations and individual need to work together to plan wildfire mitigation. NOthing happening so far and the beetle kill may cause a catastrophe fire!

Would like to see a more unified appearance to main street. Make it a place where drive through traffice will want to stop and shop.

Locals and second home owners need to stay focused on the fact that this is NOT Denver, and should never become even close to such.

If public transport was more reliable I would use it.

Need better public transportation and recreational facilities-ie rec. center.

Zoning in Grand County (visual) needs improvement, esp with Pine beetle

I am a bit concerned about pedestrian traffic on main street, with shops and restaurants being on both sides of a main road.

Enforce trash ordinances in town. Clean up town. More teen activities. controlled, managed growth is key to maintaining our qulity of life. save our water - from denver and developers.

We need full summer and winter bus service, as opposed to just winter.Currently we are forced to use a car to go anywhere.

The County Sheriff's department gets an F for ignoring/denying the illegal drug use problem in the county.

Focus on beautification of the town area - this is a key to the improvement in the overall attractiveness of the area, home prices, etc.

Need to be concerned with beetle kill in Nat'l forest ground bordering private properties. Nothing is being done. help with the dead trees that are everywhere and pose a fire danger to us all. We have removed all dead ones from our acre. Some land is public and some private. What can be done? It is so ugly as well.

Venturoni Surveys & Research, Inc. Grand County

We chose to buy a home in Grand County becasue it still has a small town feel. I don't want to spend my time off in the mountains dealing with traffic as is the case in some other resort areas.

NOISE - The town of Grand Lake is governed by people who allowed a go cart track/business to completely ruin the beautiful peace and quiet of our mountain getaway cabin. We can no longer enjoy the beauty of Mt. Baldy and the lakes, without the shattering race track car noise booming up the mountain, right into ours and our neighbors ears. The town decisions makers COMPLETELY ignored the input of a large contingient of its citizens, who were overwhelmingly opposed to and outraged about this establishment. They didn't even bother to take even a few seconds to consider at least requiring this business to put a noise abatement roof on his track, so the peace and quiet of that side of town might be somewhat protected. This was a turning point in our decision- making regarding our "stay and spend" habits. Our property value has been quite negatively affected, as has our respect for the town's decision makers. For our family to help this community to grow and prosper, that God-awful noise needs to stop. At this point, we hope we can sell the cabin for what we paid for it 5 years ago. However, if those roaring cars are speeding around the track during a propective buyer's visit, that is highly unlikely. PS Your above list completely misses the 'noise' factor regarding the quality of life in Grand Lake. For many families, this is a very big concern.

WE NEED HELP WITH THE PINE BEETLES AND THE CLEARING OF TREES

Focus on small class sizes in public education; water quantity and quality; and removal of significant standing dead beetle kill trees on public lands.

Have more regulations for town shops and signage. And more restrictive zoning. My neighbor built 5 feet from the property line on my side and left 45 feet on the other side.

Keep so called progress to a minimum. I like it small town.

I worry that development will reduce open space in the area. I wish local government would provent over development and insure an increase in open space. Housing needs to be managed so that socio-economic levels are somewhat equal.

Improvement in health services

We need to pay a lot more attention to our school age children. The public schools do not provide the education needed especially in the higher levels. It is public knowledge that some of the teachers have criminal records (posted in local newspapers). We need role models for our children. We had to leave the area because of these issues.

Work on a reasonable disposal solution for dead trees and slash. Clean up the dead wood creating a fire hazard and require landowners to participate. more work needs to be done with Forest Service, etc. to remove beetle kill. better water and fishing management of lake granby

Water is compromised severely, by Denver Water Boards legal but harmful appropriation of the state's watershed. Air is also compromised by Denver's un-controlled, un-planned growth.

Fix the boardwalks

My only concern about the area I live in ( Rangeview Sub. ) is that huoses are becoming dumping grounds for I.E. old cars and junk which looks like crap, and people who set up business in the area out of their cabins. I'm refering to Pearson's which we have called the county to get cleaned up and Pecheck which have also called about. Nothing has been done. Thank You

I'm not happy about the fact that since I'm a second home owner I can not vote for local officials. I have no say in the community and the direction the officials take us. We are treated like second class citizens. No one seems to understand we add a lot to the community even if our time spent in the community is limited.

Take care of the dying and dead trees

Economic growth often diminishes values people who live in the community seek. More does not equal better. The larger a community, typically the more expensive it is from a tax standpoint. Taxes have steadily risen, I'm not sure quality of life has.

Seek to maintain the industries that have made Grand and Eagle countiers as attractive as they are. Ranching and multiple uses on public lands provide the rural atmosphere that visitors enjoy.

You missed one of the biggest issues needing attention in Grand Cty - the availability and affordability of QUALITY childcare. Developers need to step up to the plate and consider AFFORDABLE space in their developments for a childcare center. Governments need to consider funding not only more centers but a structure to coordinate the efforts. We also need a community college or at least classes offered locally for childcare providers to improve their skills - plus classes that would appeal to young people and adults not enrolled in a college program but who might be interested. We also need programs for adults with disabilities - not just sports through the NSCD - such as day-programs and group homes - so families can stay together.

Downtown needs to be remodeled to be more "user-friendly" i.e. coffee shop with nice sitting area away from highway

Winterpark need a face lift to the retail shops that refects a alpine enviroment,

There should be better control of off lease dogs. Snowmobile noise is not as well controlled as it could be. Refer to # 50/one home/another newer home Refer to # 51/one home/another newer home refer to # 52/We own two homes in this range

When shopping, it would might be beneficial if the vendor knew that the customer was not a resident. Maybe they assume that most of the shoppers are visitors. The friendliness of the clerks could be improved. This may not be a big "thing" to most, but being from the South, I am more accustomed to friendly clerks at retail outlets.

Town is too dense. Too high. I came for small town atmosphere which has been lost. Vail is no longer unique.

We are not here enough to answer some of these questions. better prices at local grocery store, comparable to city market.

We need a Community Center in Kremmling with a swimming pool and indoor activities like basketball and exercise.

We are very concerned about the mitigation of/prevention of pine beetles. What is the county going to do?

Economy suffers because there seems to be resistance to build and improve infrastructure in order to preserve "nature". The towns feel too old.

Better air service.

It is very important that the community find a way to enable small, locally owned businesses (e.g., affordable restaurants, bicycle and other sports shops, clothing stores, specialty food shops, affordable tourist rooms, etc.) to thrive here. Requiring a portion of business space to include affordable rents for locally owned businesses, while difficult to administer, is a creative idea that is worth a try.

Another community meeting in Aspen like the one at the Jerome where we all voted electronically. Customer service orientations is needed again for some City employees. They are just reacting to poor behavior of some citizens, builders and developers that come into city hall with an attitude but then take it out on the rest of us.

Complete about 500 ft. of unpaved hiking trail on Brush Creek Rd. between rodeo dirt road entrance & where it ends just uphill from the new paved trail & bridge that'll be dedicated Oct. 7.

More affordable housing is needed in Basalt.

More and better parking especially at market and post office

Find a niche for real people and artists to live here.The spirit of Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley has been betrayed by realtors, the hyper-rich, the pursuit of high-end tourism, real-estate speculators, lawyers, and the frustrations of service employees who can't afford to live where they work. Aspen used to be a town - it has become a verb and a symbol of misplaced values.

We have lived through the change from a ski/arts/avanteguard town to the current situation, which feels to me to be a two class town. The older town had people in serving/helping type jobs who were just 'younger ' people, in school, working part time in service jobs. They were part of the social scene and added to all activities of the town. The town seemed classless then and friendly and open. The only young/learning ones left seem to be the music students. In the new Aspen there are the wealthy 'second homers' and the people who live in Aspen who 'supply' them, or 'work for' them. They bring and create a closed 'social scene'. There has grown a permanent 'working class' who are stable and with little chance of being further educated and moving into middle class or higher society in Aspen or elsewhere. There are only a few locals who are educated, professional, artist or young business owner types, and even they seems to be a shrinking %. It has changed the feel of the town for me. The old sense of community seems gone. It feels more like small suburban communities or small cities do. I would like Aspen to turn back the clock but its not possible. I do think trying to increase the actual "art/culture" creators, NOT the 'sellers', might bring a more warm and community feel back? The 'idea' part of the town (physics, institute, dance, music) communities seem to bring that more 'young and experienced' together feeling......

Somehow get the local newspapers to print unbiased local news and editorials. Somehow help stop the printed war of the classes. This is the most noticeable "bad" thing about our wonderful community.

I am appalled and disappointed in the sudden shift in town focus from a small quiet community with magnificent scenery and exceptional amenities to a mind-set of high rise ugly commercilaism which diminshes the values I cherish and will destroy the town I knew, and will only make money for the developers who will then leave! The sheer height, mass and scale of the new planned developments will block the magnificent views of our magnificent little valley for many of its residents. What's next - neon flashing lights???

Fix the entrance to Aspen (4 lane) and correct are traffic problem before it is too late.

They need to decide about what they will do from the round about into town. This bottle necks and creates all the traffic problems.

Aspen has become a suburb of Rodeo Drive in California. We originally bought (30 years ago) to partake of the Colorado/Rocky Mountain environment. We loved the differences between Aspen and our home in the East. Now the shopping is all glitzie stores. The local Colorado flavor has all but vanished.

Right now Snowmass is in a huge transition. HOpefully it will all work out and be a wonderful base village

Truck traffic and bus noise on Snowmelt road is terrible. Delivery trucks should be required to use Brush Creek road in and out. Thursday night summer traffic is loud and reckless particularly after the concerts on the hill. There are dead trees that need to be removed along snowmelt road near Tamarack. Buses run to frequently to Aspen etc.

Local government should not attempt to be involved in water quantity issues; that is a State Water Court matter. Increase air travel options.

More affordable housing in the Aspen area seems to be a good idea, both to build a real community and to get commuters off the highway. Since I own two houses (Both second homes), the responses may not be accurate for both houses, but represent a good "average" answer.

Aspen, Pitco, CO and the RF valley have to work together to address and maybe solve the key congestion, construction, second home, and traffic issues.

We are a second-home and high-end visitor resort town. Locals are being forced out. The ultra-rich are forcing out the just-rich. The community is falling apart. We need housing and mass-transit like rail. Meanwhile, growth on the western slope threathens our way of life and the quality of the environment.

Affordable housing is a bad joke. Affordable for who? Very little regard here for highway speed limits. Too many angry people driving. Schools just pass everybody through with no real educational standards accountability. Teachers are overburdened and undervalued. Suspect there is a considerable illegal alien presence here that is a burden on people who pay taxes and services.

Do not make the Base Village at Snowmass too large--the current plan is too large.

I regret the residential section feels deserted after 5 PM - not enough lighting to suit me in west end the community planning and zoning departments are overly aggressive in their control over private building and land use practices. they have created a bureaucratic nightmare of regulations regarding private property and ownership rights. from my perspective they have overstepped the boundary and need more accountability. the paperwork and permit process is ridiculously cumbersome, too lenghtly and too costly.

The traffic and parking situation in Aspen is the only downside to the place. Aspen politicians need to work to figure out ways to handle this problem up to and including building an underground parking structure, or mitigating the issue of construction vehicles coming in and out of town (which accounts for half of the cars). I do not believe ramping up public transportation from downvalley has improved the problem at all and no one is willing to face this realistically. I'm not willing to spend one more dollar on public transportation when no one uses it! Not to mention the issue of the highway into Aspen going to two lanes is just ridiculous. Make it a four lane, deal with the construction vehicles somehow, and build a parking structure, and everyone will benefit!

The three most important problems with respect to Aspen are: * the traffic problem at the entrance to Aspen on Hwy. 82 and on Main Street * affordable housing - many of our past local friends have had to move downvalley * the striking number of reeal estate operations at street level in the downtown core, displacing more people-oriented uses (shops, restaurants - there are few small local shops and a dearth of inexpensive reastaurants now, not much for kids)

Town seems to have lost it's small town sense. Way too much traffic.

Need more events/activities only available to local i.d.'s and/or schedule such events/activities in the off seasons when few tourists are around. Opening of fitness cener in late Sept along with community picnic was great!!

Basalt is quickly changing in character by the influx of 2nd home owners thanks mainly to the heavy handed local government regulations reducing housing supply and increasing demand. The "little guy" is being forced to move to the I-70 corridor as a result of the crazy regulations.

Build the bridge to eliminate the turn into town at cemetary lane.

Local business people are sometimes arrogant, rude, and demaning to visitors.

Stop building luxury condos. Due the increase value of real estate, shops, business and restaurants are leaving town and opportunies for shoping and supporting the local shops are going down valley.

The town still unfairly caters to the wealthy second homeowners. Bureaucracy is tough for locals to deal with. It would be nice to subsidize locals' property taxes by charging more to second homeowners.

Newspapers are so (liberally) biased it is embarassing! Local Politicans' obsceane disregard for secound homeowners is unfortunate when we pay most of the local taxes, and yet enjoy NO representation, it appears to be a game "Gouge the seasonal owners"

Burlingame is a disaster. Not because of what it is or where it is, but because it is planned to always be an island without the possiblity to be integrated into the community as a whole. It will always be surrounded by Estate homes & never be large enough to have proper services. Politics and 'feel good' planners are unable to have a 50yr or 100yr or even a 20yr vision. I've known this community (& dozens of others in the west) for over 50 yrs and have seen what 50yrs has done to them. Why then can't we plan properly for the inevitable? Planning without sprawl, & islands, but with good transportation built around a sustainable density, ie. Portland, OR.. For example, Burlinggame, the property as a whole, might have allowed a 20-50 year plan or byond. That combined with the right infill would have been a pleasure to see. Sorry

What is it with the contempory emplyee housing, out of Aspen character and looks like S---

Please be careful how you go about changing things. People come to Aspen/Snowmass because it isn't Vail. Keep the mountain the mountain and do not make it a boutique. We don't need to impress people; the mountains and the community do that just fine.

PLEASE REMOVE FLORIDE

Lack of bus service to upper Wood Road is a severe negative.

I love living in Basalt. I work there part time and enjoy the working climate

Employee housing is completely overbuilt and needs to be stopped. It's ruined the community -- creating have and have nots. Now, with $90 million in a slush fund, prices for everything will be forced sky-high and no one will be able to buy in Aspen or environs.

Basalt police are way to eager to make arrests and be physically confrontational.

Not enough parking spaces Entry into town very poor

Near community center (red brick) opening soon. Too much sprall in Basalt

I am referring to the town of Carbondale, which is closest to our property in Pitkin County. Three points: #1 Education is suffering from an underfunded bi-lingual system. The oportunity for each student's advancement is suffering. #2 Pitkin County Gov. Building rules and regulations are burdensome at best, extremely difficult to work with. The Downvalley portion of Pitkin county which is more associated with Carbondale and the part of Eagle County that is more associated with El Jebel should be realigned to reflect the areas they are a part of. These outlying areas are often under maintained and costly to provide services for from a County that is, for the most part, far removed. #3 The entry to Carbondale from HWY 82 is an eyesore and a mess for traffic. Town bickering is a joke.

Put on customer appreciation seminar semi-annually and promote random acts of kindness towards customers from business owners to visitors. The arrogance of some of owner/operators to visitors is mind boggling.

The costruction activities in Snowmass Village are a disaster refer to #50. ? Aspen Square

Real danger of over building and degrading quality of life. Public officials are unconcerned about this.

For 30 years - this is still true! With no fast food or box stores allowed in 40 miles - with construction & bad traffic we have very hard time getting basic food, medicine and underwear!! refer to #52. unknown

We do not need 4 lanes of traffic roaring into the City of Aspen at 50 miles an hour with no viable places for people to park. More people down valley would ride the bus if rates were subsidized instead of using the money for survey after survey.

It is critical to control density & get a better handle on the impact of traffic on air quality.

Too much developement -- Town losing the character & old/small town feeling that was attractive. City Council wants to keep building

We need a rail system Aspen - Glenwood with branch to Snowmass refer to #86. = should be blank

Down town Basat needs a better grocery store! Bring us Whole Foods or the like! 7-11's whole parking lot really needs a fix! The pot holes are so big one day a car is going to get lost in there! Oh and could we have a sidewalk, please!

Please inform the school superintendent that we do not want year around school. Summers are short enough and we want to keep them for camping, rafting, etc with the kids as well as visiting the out of state relatives whose kids do not have year around school either!!

Increase the on site parking for any future developments. The current standard is absurd.

Better dog control and clean-up

The Breckenridge Post Office is a disaster and a blight on the town. Needs replacement. County unpaved roads are not kept properly. Wash board conditions are bad. Hyway 9 needs to be widened in from Hy way 70.

Excellent job of fire mitigation in Wildernest (tree thinning, etc.). Would like to see possible efforts to pressure homeowners to clear dead and dying trees for further fire mitigation. We have increasing concerns about light polution in general. Perhaps there is a way to goad businesses into reducing light intensity after certain late night hours. Good to see Silverthorne trying to establish some sort of 'town' and happy with outlet remodel and resulting tax base increase.

Need to help the forest, wether by; fire, logging, or spraying. Pine beetle has to be dealt with by town's, county's and state. Need more growth to be postive not running a muck. We need to live within our means and become as one county not seven different town's and resorts.Great place to live over the years, but losing the luster that it had over me for years. Not a small town anymore, but becoming a suburb of Denver. Developers not interested in small town looks, only profit and density. New buildings in Frisco are to big and don't have small town looks. Frisco building second home silent town.

The area I live in is Wildernest Subd. unincorporated Summit County I'd like to see the rec path extended to tie in with the Silverthorne path

Breck needs more open space. Too many t-shirt shops. Too many realtors on Main St. Need more art galleries. Main street traffic is still too much. Side walks are too narrow for all the people to get around. BMI and NRO are great -- love the culture. Town needs to continue to strengthen show casing its history. Breck needs more open space in town. Reconstruct the floating stage at the Maggie for Jazz Fest. Do a better job of promoting the Film Fest. The Riverwalk banks are too weedy -- plant more native flowers and colorful annuals like pansies. More town art bronzes are needed. River walk walkway are badly stained from trash pick up trucks -- black and soiled spots need to be removed constantly. Some businesses have poor plantings on Main St. Do not let fast food chains in town -- NO to McDonalds and the like. Keep chain stores out as well. We love Breck -- our place of peace away from Denver!

I would like to see more public transportation in the peak 7 area to and from the ski resort. I would also like to see more ways for part time residents to meet other people and build social relationships and a sense of community- such as a first friday or saturday wine and cheese event for us long-term, part-time residents "on the fringe" i think a real issue that is starting to arise in the past several years is noise pollution. cars/motorcycles with modified exhast sytems to increase noise level. i think there needs to be some enforcement as this is starting to effect the quiet mtn community that used to exist. noise from growth can't be helped but this can.

Needs to be a more active effort by gov [all] to eradicate and eliminate the infestation of pine beetle in our area. This problem sould be number one of everyones problem solving list. If there is a chemical to control this problem, it needs to used now, irregardless of what the so called [tree huggers] protest about..

Don't over develop! Too many houses, condos, hotels is what we are trying to get away from where we live permanently!

Summit County is the greatest place. A better way to handle the crowds in summer and winter would be good.With the new skilift in Breckenridge opening up, a lot of parking spaces will be lost. Hopefully these will be replaced. If the up to now "free" parking lots will start charging for parking, this may turn away some people.

Affordable housing should be a top priority to maintain employees to support the local economy

Water rules are hard to understand. Also Summit Co. does not always respond to an issue in a timely manner.

None

I live in Keystone and have been here 30 years. Keystone has no sense of community and the present operating company Vail Resorts has lowered the quality of living here with their bottom line we only care about our stockholders attitude. It use to be that the best sales people for the area were the homeowners and local residents. That's no longer true. we love the free summer concerts at lake dillon.

There are plenty of want ads in the papers; however salaries are not high enough to pay for lodging and food. Food and housing costs are twice as high as they are in Chicago.

Stop taking public lands and placing them into private ownership. Preserve the open areas at all costs. Do not use open areas or public lands for development and profit by developers. There is still plenty of room/land to place institutions of higher learning without putting them on current public lands or open areas. The waterways should be available for all to use, just like the Mississippi River. Free and unharrassed passage by all.

Keep Dillon as it is in 2005-6 a small peaceful, not densly popolated area. Do not developed the Lake Front for another Disney land. Do not make an Art Fair in July in Dillon. Breckenridge gave up the Art fair because congestion, safety, parking, garbage, air pollution. Why can't Dillon learn from this? Be happy with Dillon town income asit is now. Do not hunt for "developement" which is only ahunt for more money.

The CMC campaign is perpetually irritating, regardless of its potential location. Please minimize local activists on city council(s), whose inclinations/DNA/sympathies are to push for unpopular and unwanted (by majority) initiatives to strenthen and subsidize social engineering. Insofar as high-country education goes, it really starts within families, not community colleges. Just look at minority groups and observe those that value education: Their children will excel academically anyway, in spite of mayors' and councils' educational and cultural enthusiasms. Want more culture and better education? Consider habitating in the Northeast. More poverty? Live in the Rustbelt, the South, New Orleans, or anywhere south of the Border. Surfing or movie star aspirations? Southern CA. Fess up: Summit County is for outdoor activities, skiing (OK shredding too for family ski ticket revenues), fishing, hunting and hiking. Now that's Colorado mountain lifestyles. And yes, most of the new money and attendant taxing thereof will have come from outside of the local economy. The service industry reigns supreme catering to monied outsiders. Unrelated, but the beetle kill is a natural phenomenum, as are wildfires. Neither is wanted, but both happen. Should we experience really cold winter temperatures gain, the beetle larvae will persih, as they have in decades past. In conclusion: minimize activists on city council(s), recognize it's not the highest priority to urbanize, socialize, or otherwise alter the venues of mountain living which most of us savor. Those opposed should consider relocating to lower elevations, preferrably along the coasts.

Do a better job of controlling pine beetle infested trees.

The ski town of Breckenridge is the key for me. Keep up the look feel and flow. Good Job.

Public transportation, preferrably light rail, to alleviate the traffic on I70 to and from the Front Range.

Get rid of the lights!! Frisco needs to adopt a "dark skies" initiative. Why have lights on all night when business is closed? Get real. Lights distract from the mountain atmosphere Frisco could be.

Sidewalks in Summit Cove would be great. A soccer field, other than the school, more mtn bike trails, a Snake River Inlet picnic area upgrade, BMX park at the dump, ski jump hill in Silverthorne, an ice rink down by the Dam.

I am very concerned about the forests and the pine bark beetle problem. This needs to be a foremost priority at the local and state level to protect the area from fire and to preserve property values and the local economy.

Breckenridge needs to build a legitimate performing arts center - the Madonna Dome just doesn't cut it.

There are numerous illegals with multiple families living in rental houses. There are junk cars, furniture, boom boxes, etc. all dragging down the quality of the neighborhood. 1. Law enforcement should remove illegals; no exceptions; 2. There should codes against over crowding rentals and these codes should be enforced; 3. There should be codes against junk in parking lots and they should be enforced; 4. Routine police patrols should be used to minimize nightly disturbances.

An active senior group in Breckenridge similar to the OTHG including but not limited to skiing would be helpful to meet others, because of the temporary residence of many of us there. would like to see more maintenance, access & opportunities for atv trails in the area. would also like to see more cultural activies in the county and more advance notice of activities in the local paper so that we can plan to be there when there are things of interest.

We can't wait to be a full time resident again! Maybe this time we will be able to build a home

I wish the town of Frisco would have a better run government. They cannot seem to make any decisions and rarely listen to public opinion.

We really need a Home Depot in the area! more frequent bus service alternate transportation restrictions on second homes/ encourage more communal development/housing ie hotels and lodges and less sfh/ tax second homes

Intrawest must be held accountable for more than developing and selling personal residence real estate. There is no sense of community at Copper Mt. It is clearly reflected in the lack of resturants, shopping and entertainment. light pollution has degradaded our lifestyle significantly in the recent years. Water quantity + quality, wildlife habitat, scenery and forest trails have all suffered due to FAST growth --- too many cars, dogs and people without knowledge of natural areas etiquette. Public safety is overdone --- we have a ridiculous number of officers. We could use more USFS officers instead of town police cars. Open space protection and sustainability for our future needs to be a continuing priority.

Keep development to a minimum!

Remember to embrace the variety of interests that represent the community. It is beginning to feel like you have to have the in- preferences (kind of cruchy ones at that) like cross-country skier, mountain biker profile. Government is starting to get invasive- a bit more laissez-faire is in order.

Continue community support of the NRO; very important draw to the community. Find ways of encouraging afforable housing for all of Summit County. Continue the support of the Summit Stage.

Avoid over development. Preserve forest land, combat pine beetle epidemic, and restore forest diversification. Preserve wild life habitat. Further develop renewable energy like wind power. Create a community with uniqueness, which is a healthy and happy place to live.

-I-70 to front range (including public transportation) -light pollution -support of historical heritage -out of control development (expensive second houses)in pristine areas -local towns trying to emulate big cities, giving up local charm

Breckenridge over-chlorinates drinking water Street sweeper stirs up more dust than removes dirt Breck police not effective and are antagonistic, Sheriff's dept much better NEED HOMESTEAD DESIGNATION to reduce taxes for locals

Would like to see a few chsin type restaurants Chili's, Tokyo Joe's, Jamba Juice. Really need a craft store like Michaels/Hobby Lobby Would love to have a fabric store like Joanne's Fabrics or similar

Build & maintiain the highest quality and capacity roads. There is a very problematic trend here in Summit County of building high rise, and landscaped medians in the roads. Many of these are genuinely hazardous because they obstruct vision of traffic. It certainly will require that somebody dies in a fatal accident before it is realized that these stylish features are in fact a bad idea.

The biggest public policy issue is the journey from Denver to Summit County and back. It is getting more expensive year by year to put off efficient travel. The state needs to bite the bullet and do as they did with the Glenwood Springs corridor and make travel safe and easy. We now have considerable delays year 'round. Please see the benefit is getting tourists to the mountains and home without aggrevation.

Stop Vail Assoc unconciable expansion on Peak 7. They only want to make real estate profits with little or no regard to the businesses or residents of Breckenridge.

Please work on the beetle (pine) situation. Create special tax if necessary with a sunset clause.

THEY NEED EQUIP THE BUSSES TO HANDLE MORE BIKES

It is important to separate cross country skiing from snow mobiles. I want to take my children and grandchildren skiing on the trails, but one inconsiderate snowmobiler can ruin ski trails for hundreds of others. Snowmobiling is not exercise it is terrorizing to others. It is a selfish activity that has no place in or near residental areas.

I live in a great place. Of the 4 major towns in the county, I would consider Silverthorne the least attractive, but the most affordable.

The retail business community needs to improve the quality and training of its employees. Attention on the customer is generally lacking. need a grocery store

I think Vail Associates is doing a good fob working with the community

Responses for Open Ended question # 98 - Suggestions

I would like to see the power lines all over downtown buried.

Realize that the amenities that are available would not be if not for the ski area and tourisim. Must let growth continue or town will die.

Continued effort to limit sprawl through land use planning and land acquistion, Fostering cultural and communal vibrancy in downtown area by locating local attractions in central areas (ie rec center, community center, government locations), continue trying to maintain a balanced and diverse resident composition through provision of affordable housing, continued support of our children

Build the community center in town!

Need better restaraunts

Quit building more condos

New Development has been going at too fast a pace, especially around the gondola area. There is no planning for neighborhood parks, just cram in the condos for skiing.With very little open space left in this area, the small town feel has vanished.

Some full-time local people fail to appreciate that the community would be nothing except a poor cow town without the ski mountain and the related investment (second homes, condos, restaurants ,shopping, etc). Most communities would give anything to have such a great influx of economic investment that creates jobs and prosperity.

Over built the Ski slope.

Why isn't there a sound and aggressive recycling program in Steamboat? Too much waste.

Affordable housing seems to be taking on too big a role in Steamboat. Not everyone can afford to live where they work and it should not be the responibillity of the entire community to subsidize the housing of the lower income population. My first house cost $70K, which in today's dollars would be $300k and I had a 30 mile commute to work. We need to strike a balance between affordable housing and subsidizing. I am more interested in money going to more open space community beautification.

Hire & promote from with in the community. We don't need out-of-town "consultants" or job applicants for upper end jobs the brightest minds all ready live here!

Thank you for the opportunity to participate. We feel right "at home" in Steamboat.

Open space/ affordable housing Key to Steamboat.

Too much taxes going to public education.

What's happened to the Western theme of downtown!

More "green team" activities. Promote recycling more. Give incentives!

Quit Building - It is getting so over built and crowded. And get an architect with some talent to design the new rec center - it is Ugly. and where are renewable energies in all this? #71= "Same evenly dispersed +" #94= "Is there?"

#91= should be blank.

Need more shopping for building supplies & household items also clothing.

#71= "perm res".

We have our prop + some rental so pay lots of prop tax. Wish didn't have to have so much towards schools - too bad no rebate or ercd for people who never use schools. (Do not own any children so always some infant to pay for something would / could never use.)

Beautiful scenery, loved our visit, but altitude caused health problems.

Upsetting that the large meadow is being developed. Planning commission needs their heads examined.

City needs to improve the Base area -- not only new investment, but beautifying the area (in summer, all weeds, no flowers). In addition, when enter the City from Rabbit Ears pass, need to greet visitors with signage, flowers, etc. (like Breckenridge). To address affordable housing, city or county should just acquire lots of acreage in Milner or Hayden and build it!--townhouses, etc. The Base area is too valuable for affordable housing. Focus should be on housing for teachers, police, firemen, clergy (professionals) who we need housing. Ski Corp should be responsible for housing for their employees. Everyone has an option to live here; the community should not be responsible for subsidizing those who cannot afford to live here (most of us could not afford it when we were younger). Having said that, it is imperative to attract young professionals with families as very few want Steamboat to become an Aspen.

"The entrance to Stmbt from Rabbit Ears Pass is a disgrace. Gravel Pits/funny looking housing and a medium that is totally ugly!! Otto, Ett"

"Sidewalks would be nice. Need more bike trails & bike racks @ businesses. Schools need updated (facility wise). Year around ice rink & concrete skate park & river features." refer to #63= 5-29 miles.

#81= Both 3 & 4 are marked.

"Your town is lucky to have the ski area as an economic foundation. Don't kill that with social engineering. Many towns have a lot of affordable housing because they have no such foundation."

"Love the fact that it's real then not just a resort place."

#71= "In use most of the time by group members."

#76= "Miami Beach".

"Affordable housing needs to really be affordable-"

More parking mtn and downtown longer than 2 hrs. Kids allready have it made here- more adult events- concerts the best! Venturoni Surveys & Research, Inc. Steamboat Springs

2006 Homeowners Survey - Steamboat Page 30

"I would be very upset to have my taxes used for affordable housing except maybe for essential service personel, police, teachers so on."

"Should not be putting residential units downtown in the space best used for commercial. More parking needs to be required per unit. The limited commercial corrider need to be commercial."

"We have growing pains - Ski Corp does not give locals a break (ie season passes Ha!) The city gives any whim to money piss poor planning promotes piss poor products."

"The community needs to keep the price of living here low or nobody will be here to take care of the rich ass-holes." #82= "for workers".

The current rate and density of developement is going to hurt almost every characteristic of the town that is important to me.

Stop issueing building permits for more condos.

#86= should be blank. Thanks for all your hard work!!

We love Steamboat. We have two properties there that we rent. Our son is renting one. We plan to retire and live in Steamboat. I do feel we need to work on more affordable housing for the full-time residents. I am also concerned about all the growth on the mountain.

Triple Crown is disgusting. It should be barred and replaced with something else. In addition, growth should be more tightly controlled. Developement should be held accountable for affordable housing.

The senses in this town is that affordable housing starts at $300 thousand. That is not affordable housing if your wage is $9 an hour. Need to look at other ways for affordable housing.

No more surveys.

"Mountain base area very definitely needs renovations to keep pace with other ski areas. Our area in Steamboat is looking run-down & dated."

Stop marketing & drawing people to this area. The traffic at rush hour is awful. I don't want the taxes to go to marketing - Allow the economy to do what it will!

The city and YVHA need to work together and provide the housing deficit. The city needs to reconsider the urban growth boundary for more affordable housing.

#19 should be blank.

The effects on the local ecomony will only have an impact on the year round locals who are trying to survive. (Make a living) The second home owners will not be affected, for they have money and lots of it! #45= "Cosmetology School". #52= "I am guessing somewhere around here".

I am upset because I have just recently discovered that our river is not as healthy as I was led to believe. Look at the 2002 baseline report regarding fecal coliform, incised channelization and nutrient levels. I apologize for missing the deadline but asking for this right at the kick off of our busy time is a problem. Consider that next time when asking for a survey to be done by.

We need real affordable housing. We need an alternate route thru or around downtown. Traffic is terrible and getting worse.

Why are both grocery stores at same end of town?

West of town needs supermarket and post office to eliminate having to drive through town to shop & pick up mail, and adding to traffic problems. Designated trails and/or times for off leash dogs.

#86 should be blank.

Finding a way to re-route traffic thru town espeically when "Tripple Crown" is in town from June thru mid August!

Our sense of community is changing rapidly. The influx of wealth and a sense of entitlement is deteriorating our legacy of an integrated socio-economic community. The concept of sustainability needs to be at the core of all decisions made for this valley. We will only get one chance to influence the type of development that our children will inherit.

Find cleaner materials on highways. Scoria is dirty, damages cars and carpets. Check out Sun Valley. Their roadsides are always pristene.

Base Area needs updating badly

Too much concern about stopping so-called big box retail. Too little affordable shopping, such as clothing, other than Wal-Mart. Too much focus on creating density in mountain base area.

Like many resort towns, afforable housing and living wages for employees is a challenge here. While growth is inevitable, the City Council needs to focus more energy into helping the middle-working class people in town.

This may not be a community issue, but at this time, the Steamboat Ski area is NOT friendly to Front Range Skiers. Their 10, 15 and 20 day passes are NOT competative with other local resorts for cost or flexibility. There are virtually NO discounts for members of my family and friends who cannot commit a full ten days of skiing at Steamboat. My friends have been coming to the area much less in the winter in the last few years because of the virtual elimination of the Steamboat Card. I was just there last weekend with my teenage son and three of his friends (ages 15 and 16). They would have liked to ski all three days, but only skied two because of the price ($59/day).

I would HATE to see the town allow any more high buildings to built on the mountain. Understand that Bear Claw is planning a 10 story bld. Horrible!

Let the marketplace address affortable housing.

We love the "real community" feeling of Steamboat. Also the small-town feel, which is diminishing, I'm afraid. I think Steamboat was at it's best about 15 years ago. We fell in love with Steamboat in the mid 80's for lots of reasons, but mostly because it was a real community...a real small town with real people who were friendly. We loved it bacause it wasn't Aspen or Vail. I'm afraid it is steadily moving in that direction, however...more traffic, more mansions, more fur coats...ack!

VERY CONCERNED ABOUT LARGE-SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND EMPHASIS ON WEALTHY SECOND-HOME OWNERS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGING CHARACTER OF COMMUNITY. MANY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE MOST POSITIVE ABOUT COMMUNITY ARE BEING LOST (IE: FRIENDLINESS, LACK OF CROWDS, SCENIC QUALITIES, MIXED ECONOMY, ETC.) construction in steamboat is becoming a problem for a typically small community. wanting to over build a town that was meant to be a friendly vacation spot, with people expecting something original, rather than "just another ski-town", is what we are experiencing. goodbye to the old western flair, in with more high rise, money hungry developers that never could imagine how beautiful this place once was! its sad to see it go , and to know there is no way to stop it from happening..:(

Base Area Improvement Needed

We love Steamboat's small town & western feel. We are saddened to see the extensive building especially the area where the balloons used to take off. That area would have been better served as a huge park with the Strings in the Park being there too. We realize the economy needs the new buildings and it will come at a price. We hope Steamboat can avoid the greed and complete $$$ mind set of Vail, Aspen, etc. Good Luck.

Development should be regulated with all other related issues and closely monitored or it will destroy our community.

#81= both 2 & 3 are marked. "Build affordable housing concurrently w/ luxury housing on site to prevent exodus of locals and exclusive real estate only for ultra wealthy in 30 years time."

"I wish there would be more of an effort toward a green community. Tax credits would be great. Building codes need to migrate toward green building. - like Mtn. Village in Telluride."

Building is out of hand.

Follow a slow growth plan. I do not want more condos in town.

"We need more walking trails. It is difficult to walk from the Yampa Cove Trail to either super market or any shopping center or to the health and rec. pool. Traffic has taken over our down town." #95= Both 1 & 5 are marked.

"Maintain character of small town - not too much rapid developement of commercial & residential real estate. No big box stores."

"Ordinary people being pushed out by out of control real estate prices."

"Maintain small town feel by limiting large chain stores." graduate - level educational programs lacking

"Affordable housing, traffic, changing demographics (too expensive for younger families) are among issues that need addressing."

"Go to New York for good paying union job - construction electrician - round up illiables and send them home."

"Our community needs and all-inclusive recreation center and especially an indoor swimming pool."

"Stop bringing more tourists & developers who want to "improve" our way of life" - we are a community here of familys - we are being pushed aside by all this new growth & traffic - Our community is being divided & spoiled! More is NOT better!!"

It would be a great pleasure to have a city council that understood how to manage growth and knew how to communicate it.

"Accessible open space - very poor! Air quality extremely poor! -diesels! Idling all night"

"Need affordable housing. Growing too rapidly."

Like many retired residents, we travel a lot so most of our restaurant dollars are spent elsewhere & like all travelers we tend to buy clothes while traveling. (But not sports related clothes, bought here).

Enforce traffic laws, esp. stop signs & speed limits. Teach new comers not to be so stressed out!

Under qualified city government and personnel - especially Planning Staff. Under funded county infrastructure. Under funded arts for the community - HUGE ISSUE. U.S 40 traffic through down town major issue. Parking in entire area huge issue - underfunded verticle planning for same. Affordable housing issues addressed in completely wrong direction - needs non city council planning and open market resolution.

WAY TOO MUCH HIGH PRICED/HIGH END DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION. TOWN IS IN DANGER OF LOSING IT'S SMALL TOWN, FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. NOT MANY "BLUE COLLAR" TYPE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD THIS AREA, AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS BECOME JUST ANOTHER "BEDROOM" COMMUNITY FOR EXCLUSIVELY WEALTHY TOURISTS & PART-TIME RESIDENTS.

When I have friends visiting...there isn't a lot of great shopping. Also lacking is hardware and discount such as target. I dislike Walmart.

The 'community' of Steamboat Springs is extremely selfish and I am happy to finally remove my children from the unmannerly and spoiled rotten atmosphere that belittled and humiliated them for the last 6 years. Your children will get what is coming to them when they step onto the streets of the real world while in college.

Proximity to the Yampa Valley Regional Airport which allows for nonstop flights into the area from our primary residence in Houston, Texas is a very important reason for our decision to buy a second home in Steamboat Springs. We would like to see the YVRA continue to expand and grow, and to have more nonstop flights from Houston during the summer and fall, as well as during ski season.

"Check city of Frisco as to affordable housing they know how -We talk - city should zone & purchase AF Prop. Take bids from developers & choose best not cheapest. Remove ALL fees, permit tap, etc."
