Snowmass Draw Site project expected for November ballot
The Snowmass Village Town Council took the first step in placing the Draw Site affordable housing project on the November ballot during Monday’s Town Council meeting.
Council members authorized the town to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Pitkin County to add a Draw Site project ballot question. A Snowmass ordinance requires voter approval for any single project that costs more than 40% of the town’s most recent general fund revenue (about $11 million). The projected cost of the Draw Site is $80 million.
The Town Council has not finalized the ballot language for the Draw Site. It has until Sept. 6 to submit the ballot language to the clerk and recorder’s office.
For months, the Draw Site has gone through the town’s planned unit development (PUD) process, requiring several stages of approval from the planning commission and Town Council. Council members have approved the first two stages of the PUD, despite some expressing concern about the mass and scale of the 80-unit project.
