This program is designed to increase the availability of housing for low and moderate income persons. Specifically, the program can provide CDBG construction loan financing at an interest rate substantially lower than market rates to a developer building housing for low and moderate income persons. The anticipated interest rate is two (2) percent. Grant awards are limited to $750,000 for 36 month projects and $4,000,000 for 18 month projects. Runyon Colie Woods of the Colie Development Compairy was available to answer questions. He stressed that the required letter of credit would be provided by the Colie Development Company so that the County will not bear any financial burden if the anticipated funds from the project are not realized.

He asked that the cost of administering this program not bs added to the loan total. This would further lo~uar the cost of each house by $600.

On January 3, 1989, the Sward of County Commissioners approved a major amendment to the Subdivision Regulations involving plat specifications and approval procedures. The change will go into effect on February 1, 1989. Under the new provisions, major subdivisions will require Concept Plan approval by the Planning Board prior to submittal of a Preliminary Plat and the Final Plat will be approved administratively. Under the existing provisions, a sketch plan is approved administratively and the Final Plat is approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Department recommends that a policy be established regarding the handling of those projects which are already in • progress. It is the desire of the Planning Department to minimize and avoid any disruption to those projects which have already received some form of approval. The Planning Department recommends that those Sketch Plans, Prelf~ninary Plans and Final Plats in various stages of the approval process be handled in the following manner: Sketch Plan Approval A Concept Plan will not be required where there is already an approved Sketch Elan. This would apply to all Sketch Plans approved since February 1, 1988 (sketch plena are valid for one year). After February 1, any modification of an existing Skstch Plan would requite Concept Plan submittal. However, the preliminary plat would be subject to the revised apecificatioas. Pending Preliminary Plats (with Planning Board Approval • Preliminary Plats approved by the Planning Board prior to February 1 will not be subject to the new provisions. This category only includes the two preliminary plats scheduled on the January 23 agenda (Laws Estate, Fox Run Annex). It is anticipated that the Board of Commissioners decision will be made on February 6. Pending Preliminary Plats (No Planning Board Approval) All grelitainary plats which have not received Planning Board approval by February 1 will be subject to the new plat specifications. One preliminary plat application was received on January 18 and another is expected by January 23. Both of these projects have received sketch plan approval. Final Blots (Major Subdivisions) All Final Plats submitted after February 1 which received Preliminary Plan approval prior to February 1 would continue to be processed under the current procedure and would be approved by the Planning Hoard. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed policy. Best suggested that Staff notify nny applicants who are is the Sketch Plan stage of the new procedures that they must adhere to for the preliminary .plat. Scearbo responded that could be done by-letter. --- MOTION: Hest moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Eddlemaa. Yuhasz questioned the logic in requiring that final plans come back to the Planning-Board for approval.. Scearbo responded that when the new system is started there will be a new format so that it will be very clear at the time of prelinary plat approval everything that needs to be done to submit a final plat but also sverything that needs to be done to record a final plat. In some cases, there are some conditions that are required for recordation of the final plat that are not necessarily included in the preliminary plat stage. • ~J U1~ ~ ~ u -.~... . .6 Jacobs indicated concern with not seeing a ~ concept plan of those projects already in the sketch plan phase. Scearbo responded that Staff felt that up to this point the applicant had done everything required of him. If an applicant is required to submit a concept plan as well, it would create an additional step for the applicant unnecessarily. vOTEs Unanimous. Meeting adjourned 11:10 p.m. • •
