$48mm for CBCS School Expansion
Heather Connor, Your Local Crested Butte Realtor. 970.440.2975. Heather@cbblackdiamond.com HeatherConnor.com
Today, our podcast will be short and sweet as we cover the School District expansion project.
On January 11th school board meeting, RTA architects shared project plans as well as preliminary costs for the Crested Butte Community School, Gunnison High School Gunnison Community Schoo, Lake School and a district stadium. The entire project comes in at a tune of $98mm and change.
As many of us are well aware, there is a strong need for expansion at the Crested Butte Community school. Enrollment is increasing at the rate of 24 students per year over the previous 10 years. Thre are currently 800 students enrolled and the capacity is only 750. There was a modular placed in hte 2020/2021 school year and there have also been students that enrolled in the Pathways 100% online learning program due to Covid-19. This has helped balance the number of students in-house, but only temporarily.
The Crested Butte Community School facility design is estimate to cost approximate half of the total budget, approximately $48mm. This will allow an increase of just a little over 1,000 students and is meant to cover the next 10-years of student expansion for all grade levels.
So, where will the funds come from? The school board will gather community feedback on the concept designs and whether to put together a bond proposal. It is undetermined if this bond proposal will be on this year's November ballot or on the 2022 ballot.
If you would like to see a visual of the proposed facilities, you can visit the link in the podcast show notes. As well, the website includes a QR code so you can experience a 3D view of the new school spaces.

Town Vacation Rental Licenses

As real estate continues to have low inventory we see properties go under contract in days or weeks if priced correctly. As well, for those purchasing property in the town of Crested Butte, the unlimited vacation rental license continues to be desirable. As of today, there are no licenses available, despite all the folks living in the homes full-time and all the transfers that have taken place recently. However, there is also not a waitlist. Remember that if you do purchase a property and want to vacation rent your home in the town of Crested Butte, you cannot apply until you have closed on your property.
In Gunnison County, the number of veterans living in our valley has decreased in numbers but the services available has gone up. According to federal data in 2016 there was a veteran population of 826 people. in 2019, the veteran population has decreased to 759. However, federal dollars for expenditures and services for those veterans have gone up by $796,000.
The recently passed Veteran’s Compact Act contains an initiative related to rural recreational and therapeutic opportunities as well as educational opportunities and research potential. The new law will create a task force to study outdoor therapeutic opportunities for military veterans to design and then design and leverage public lands for those specific uses.
“Seeing that Gunnison County houses one of the oldest adaptive therapeutic outdoor institutions in the nation we are, I dare say, at the tip of the spear for potential action and potential data sharing to these federal agencies. I know Adaptive is involved in collecting some of their own data and they have been for a while,” said Otero.
Commissioner Roland Mason inquired why our number of veterans is decreaing. “It has to do with politics, money and access to services,” Otero answered. He said he fields a number of calls from local veterans, many with passionate opinions.

House Fire Near Riverland

To see what is happening locally listen to this week's podcast and view additional details on CrestedButteNews.com
Good morning everyone, this is Heather Connor, your Local Realtor, sharing the local news for the Crested Butte and Gunnison Community. My goal is to get you updated on the relevant local happenings, in just a few minutes.
A house fire near Riverland displaced 8 local community members. The call came in at 11:23pm last Monday night. One of the residents that lived on the third floor woke up when he smelled smoke and heard the smoke alarm. He quickly notified all other residents to leave the building. Luckily all the household members were able to escape, sadly however, two pets, one cat and one dog did not make it. According to Crested Butte Fire Protection District chief Rob Weisbaum, the fire appears to have originated from the wood-burning stove located in the lower living dwelling. While the exact cause has not been determined, it is suspected that the nearby combustible items, ash trashcan, an old chair and ski clothing could have helped progress the speed of the fire. As well, the glass on the stove door was blown out for unknown reasons. In true Crested Butte style, the community has rallied together to help with lodging, food, donations, even furniture. If you are interested in contributing to this effort, send me a message and we'll get you in touch with a coordinator and the Go Fund Me page.
And not surprisingly, affordable housing was one of the main topics for the Crested Butte Town Council on the December 21st meeting. While several ideas were tossed around, some included asking citizens to approve a tax that would specifically fund workforce housing, performing a water well study at the Brush Creek parcel south of town and focusing on coordinating projects already in the works with Crested Butte, Mt. Crested Butte and Gunnison County. Currently, 100 deed-restricted units are slated to become available in Gunnison next year. Current major projects that could bring hundreds of affordable housing units into the valley are Slate River annexation in Crested Butte, the potential North Village project in Mt. Crested Butte and the Brush Creek and Whetstone parcels. Currently in effect is the InDeed program which allows town to purchase non deed-restricted properties and place a restriction so they become deed-restricted for future. This program has funds set aside to be able to compensate the owner for placing the restriction on their property. As well there is the student-build project in Paradise Park, the Redden "tiny home" development and the Homestead at Prospect housing project in Mt. Crested Butte. Crested Butte community development director Troy Russ indicated that next year would be spent primarily in the planning phase. Crested Butte is starting its comprehensive "Community Compass" planning and Mt. Crested Butte is updating its Comprehensive Plan and the county commissioners are starting their Strategic Plan update. "Everything needs balance" said Russ. "That is part of the Compass and all the planning initiatives. It is part of hte challenge going forward."

Good morning everyone, this is Heather Connor, your Local Realtor, sharing the local news for the Crested Butte and Gunnison Community. My goal is to get you updated on the relevant local happenings, in just a few minutes.
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season. Around here we have had clear, bright bluebird days with some below-zero mornings. We also had some snow and with it has been some fun days on the ski resort, but brings extra, extra caution for the backcountry. Personally, I have taken my backcountry excursions to skinning up and skiing down the ski resort in the mornings and a lot of nordic skiing in areas that are safe from potential snow slides. Everyone, please be extra safe and enjoy the snow.
Locally, we also have free coronavirus testing held last week. In Crested Butte 824 people were tested and in Gunnison an additional 800. The results were 1,572 negative cases, 44 positive cases, and 8 with insufficient data. The tests came back with a 2.7% positive rate compared to the 7 or 8 percent which is the state's average. However, in general, there is concern that our valley, due to some concerning cases including 58 new positives, that we may be moved into the next state level, of which we are currently at yellow on the state meter and blue on the county coronameter.
And David Baumgarten has been the Gunnison County attorney for 31 years and at the end of this year will step down. He has held this position since 1989 and Matthew Hoyt will step into the position. While Baumgarten plans to help with the transition, it sounds like he plans to enjoy some time at home and be able to hang out with his dog and kittens.

Gunnison County has begun COVID-19 vaccinations. The vaccine arrived at the county Health and Human Services in Gunnison on December 15th. The 300 doses were sent via FedEx and packed in dry ice and then transferred to an ultra-cold -80 degree F freezer to keep the vaccine very cold. The county's vaccine distribution plan has several tiers. The first group is health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic and those living in senior housing. The second priority group will be other health care workers in the valley who has less regular direct contact with coronavirus cases. The next group would be higher-risk individuals, those with underlying health conditions and people over the age of 65. School staff, other workers with a lot of public contact such as grocery store employees would be next, then followed by the general public. As far as timing, it is dependent on the timing of the vaccine shipments. The plan is to have the first group vaccinated this winter, second group this spring, and everyone else sometime this summer.
And friendly reminder to everyone to be safe this winter. Our backcountry is set up for high avvy danger this winter. We just recently have had a local man injured on Snodgrass as he was caught in a soft slab avalanche and carried approximately 200 -300 feet. Another long-time local man and previous ski patroller for our resort was also caught in an avalanche and was killed this last Friday. According to CB Avalanche Center's website, the local Schneider was caught in a large persistent slab avalanche in the Anthracites, on a run known as Friendly Finish.
And to everyone out there whether you are celebrating with us here in Crested Butte or celebrating elsewhere, please have a wonderful holiday season. 2020 has been one for the books and I hope each of you are finding some time to relax, enjoy time with friends and family, even if it means this year, it will be via Zoom. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heather-connor/message

Mt Crested Butte's Three Mile Plan

For additional information on any of the topics, visit the CrestedButteNews.com
CB Town council will be taking time this winter to gather information and feedback on the recent summer's one-way configuration of Elk Ave. Town is considering if Crested Butte will still be under Coronavirus restrictions by June of 2021. Based upon a recent town survey of which 40 responded, approximately 75% were in favor of the one-way reconfiguration for this coming summer season. Some negatives that were expressed was the impact to available parking as 58 parking spots were eliminated with the new configuration. As well, residents on the adjoining side streets expressed increased traffic and speed of vehicles. Some residents also expressed varying opinions of the outdoor seating looking either festive or "junky". Feedback and consideration will continue towards a decision this March.
Old emotions are stirred up as the town of Mt. Crested Butte approved a 2020 update to the town's Three Mile Plan. The Three Mile Plan is a long-range planning opportunity for the town to consider territory they might want to annex in the future. A previous annexation by the name of Hunter Ridge, located at 45 Hunter Hill was rejected back in 2018. Once the project was rejected by the Town of Mt. CB, developer Jamie Watt then took the proposed development application to the county. The county resolution included conditions placed on the application by the Planning Commission. Issues included compatibility with the neighboring properties, geologic hazards, water and sewer plans, traffic studies, snow storage plans wildlife considerations and wildland delineations as well as others. According to Watt, all those issues were addressed and he is wrapping up the next phase of his application. Currently, there is disagreement in having the Hunter Ridge annexation included in the 2020 plan. According to Mayor Janet Farmer, "I don't see a situation in any form or fashion that I'm going to find that land suitable for development and so I have a problem having it in there." According to interim town manager Carlos Velado, he believes it will weaken their position if they do try to protect the property. According to Velado, if town doesn't include it in the plan, then he believes it is giving the county the impression that town does not want it and the county can have it. He says, "it's not that we don't want the property, it's just that we didn't want that particular project." In the end, the council agreed to approve the 2020 Three Mile Plan update.

Good morning everyone, this is Heather Connor, your Local Realtor, sharing the local news for the Crested Butte and Gunnison Community. My goal is to get you updated on the relevant local happenings, in just a few minutes.
Ski season is opening this week for Thanksgiving. As CBMR preps for opening day, thus far, they plan to operate the Red Lady Express and Peachtree lifts. It is reported that Thanksgiving lodging bookings are pretty normal an then they ramp up for Christmas and New Year's. This all seems fairly standard compared to previous years. Passholders have exclusive access to the slopes from opening day to December 8th and can make unlimited week-of reservations through the entire season as availability and their pass-type allows.
And to look back at the previous internet outage on November 12th, it, reminds all of us of our internet and communication fragility in our valley. As we remember, all cell, internet, landline and even the ability to dial 911 was down for the majority of the day in both Gunnison and Hinsdale county. According to Corey Bryndal, when he realized there was a problem, he drove towards Montrose and found workers dealing with the situation. Bryndal started chatting with the workers and found out that "A contractor working on a water line in the morning fell victim to insufficient utility locates. Apparently the old MNT/centuryLink fiber was put in place in 1995 and had an unmarked "jog" in the line near Cimarron Visitors Center campground. The need for redundancy into the valley was clearly outlined on the 12th and it may be coming sooner than later. Currently the only live fiber line runs from Montrose to Gunnison. According to Virgil lTurner, regional broadband project director at Region 10, said that Lumen formerly Centurylink worked in conjunction with the recent Cottonwood Pass road realignment to put in a second fiber over the pass.
And, in Colorado, we are seeing various counties enter the red zone on the state COVID meter. The local school district is asking families not to travel for the holidays. And speaking of holidays, wherever you may be this coming week, have a wonderful and safe thanksgiving and indeginenous peoples day. Let's all remember to be thankful for what matters most to us.

Summer Ski Anxiety
Thanks to the Southwestern Monsoon season the fire ban has been lifted for Gunnison County. The local Crested Butte softball season has started and local hometown hero Aaron Blunck has set the halfpipe world on fire by being the first individual to successfully land the switch dub cork 1440. As well, town council and the broad community through the One Valley Leadership Council has started to talk about the possibility of the ski resort not opening this coming winter season.

July Real Estate is Hot
This week in Crested Butte, RMBL is protected in perpetuity under a Conservation Easement. As well, local pizza joint, Mikey's Pizza has new owners, former employees Collin and Mastisse plan to keep the Mikey's Love alive. The Crested Butte Musical Festival kicks off with events in the Center for the Arts exterior area, and tickets are selling fast. Social distancing and other typical safety protocol will be required. And real estate is flying here. It appears there is a wealthy demographic that is looking to leave their urban area and make Crested Butte their temporary or not-so-temporary new home.

New Gunnison County Commissioner
Gunnison County has a new Commissioner, Liz Smith, who was elected to replace John Messner. Messner retired from the position to accept a job with the state. New middle-income housing project, tentatively named "Paintbrush" is a 77-unit development projected being built in Gunnison by Gatesco. Gates is hopeful to be able to have residents in the property by February of 2021.

Locals Chainless Race Going Rogue
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July. It looked quite a bit different for us here as it did across the country. While there was no parade, there were a few spirited individuals that rode down Elk in their finest festive wear. The outdoor seating configuration for Elk Avenue seems to be working for most, minus the few stray bicyclists and skaters going in the wrong direction. As well, cases are starting to go up and Town is talking about preventative measures so we can continue to stay open to visitors this summer season. If you're curious about the real estate market, we offer weekly updates on HeatherConnor.com. Call me anytime if you have questions about buying or selling in our beautiful valley.
