SOUND SIDE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT Presentation and update on the Sound Side Housing Development.

Michael Beedie, City Engineer, briefly reviewed the background on the project that will replace 50 units with a 200 -unit affordable housing development which initially applied for funding through tax credits through Freddie Mac but has since fallen through. Tim Bolduc, Building Official, gave a power point presentation with an overview of the affordable housing development which meets the goal of the CRA Plan to provide a wide range of quality housing opportunities and choices for people of all income levels; will provide workforce housing and market housing through the allocation of units based', on the income of potential residents with families earning 60% of the Area Median Income ( AMI) to occupy 80 % of the units and families earning between 80% to 120% of the AMI to occupy the remaining 20% of the units; explained when the funding source changed it created a gap with an estimated funding shortage of approximately $ 2. 5 million; and a potential solution to close the funding gap would be for the City to provide in -kind services for the project. He explained the preliminary estimate for the City to provide in -kind services is $ 2, 000,000 for labor and materials to construct the infrastructure including demolition, potable water, fire service, sanitary sewer, stormwater, site grading, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and paving, and a cash outlay of $ 200, 000 to pay for a current market rate study, survey information, engineering work, submitting an application to HUD, and other items needed to get to the closing and which would be reimbursed upon closing. He mentioned the PUD documents would need to be amended to give the City easements to all the right -of -way work, and that the City will collect the user fees on all the utilities as well. 1- 32 Special Council 11 - 10 -09 SOUND SIDE HOUSING'.DEVELOPMENT cont.: Discussion was, held on the-Aesire.for' additional information' on the fair market value of the 2. 7 acres given to 11he Housing Authority; .-information on the $ 200, 000 investment to cover preclosing costs, market 'study, architect and engineer fees, and to submit the application to HUD, etc., and an updated marketing analysis.
