REPORT: Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. It was moved by Commissioner Edmonson that the foregoing proposed resolution be forwarded to the County Commission with a favorable recommendation. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Seijas for discussion. Referring to written language on handwritten page 11 of this resolution, Commissioner Rolle asked if it would take twelve (12) years to build out the total project. Mr. Chris Peterson, representing Carlisle Development Group, LLC, 2950 SW 27th Avenue, Suite 200, noted the plan was to develop the project in five phases and build out all 445 units within a 12-year period. Assistant County Attorney Libhaber added that the proposed project was to be constructed in various stages, and the first phase involved constructing 222 units within 54 months. He noted the remaining stages would be completed over the course of twelve years. In response to Commissioner Rolle’s question whether this was the most economic way to complete this project, Mr. Leland Salomon, Assistant Manager and Development Specialist, Real Estate Division, General Services Administration (GSA), noted the proposed project was scheduled in five phases over a 12-year period to allow the developer sufficient time to construct 455 units, and comply with all the requirements for developing an affordable housing project. He explained that for each phase of the project, the developer must apply for low income tax credits before proceeding with construction, and that process could take up to one year to complete. He also noted the developer must convert the tax credits, once received, and then apply for permits and plan approval by the County. Mr. Salomon said he felt the 12-year period was a reasonable time to develop the entire project, provided 50% of the project was completed within the first 54 months. He noted the construction should commence immediately, and the first 90 units should be built within the first thirty-six months. Referring to handwritten pages 9 and 10 of this resolution, Mr. Salomon noted the first phase was funded; the low income tax credits were promised for the second phase, and the developer would need to apply for low income tax credits in the third phase. Commissioner Edmonson asked Mr. Salomon to address the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements for this project. Mr. Salomon noted the DBE requirements for this project were standard and listed on handwritten page 198 of the lease agreement. He also noted, as long as the land was leased by the not-for-profit corporation and under development pursuant to the agreement terms, the tenant would be obligated to comply with DBE requirements outlined in this contract. If the tenant exercised the option to purchase the property, the tenant would no longer be obligated to comply with the DBE obligations. In response to Chairwoman Jordan’s questions regarding whether this project involved any county funds, and whether the developer requested any subsidy for this development, Mr. Salomon noted this development did not involve county funds, and the only request made by the developer was for low income tax credits. He also noted most of this project involved rental units, however, once development began on the condominium portion, the developer might apply for subsidy. Chairwoman Jordan asked that the Area Median Income (AMI) levels, listed on handwritten page 9 of this agreement, be translated into dollar amounts for each category. Hearing no further comments or questions, the Committee proceeded to vote.
