AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation of Code Compliant Small Modular Units as an
affordable alternative housing solution on scattered sites throughout Monroe County
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County Mayor declared a State of Local Emergency on
September 5, 2017 due to Hurricane Irma, a "threat of danger to the populace inhabiting Monroe
County" and that the County "may require expedient action in order to protect the health, safety and
welfare of the community."
Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017,
causing substantial damage to and loss of property.
During the initial recovery phase, many vendors selling various housing products contacted county
staff and elected officials to promote their alternative housing products. Staff received several types
of housing in emails from various vendors; however, those did not include detailed costs or budget
information or details on code compliance.
Jim Saunders, a local modular housing developer, has developed several locations in the Keys with
small modular elevated housing units. Knowing the amount of damage that occurred to our lowest
cost housing, in the Florida Keys, Mr. Saunders assisted staff by providing sample modular products
that meet the Florida Building Code and floodplain regulations, with potential costs. Mr. Saunders
will be present at the BOCC meeting and can present local knowledge and construction cost
examples of a potential small modular housing unit prototype — like a teaching tool for redeveloping
after the storm.
Staff is seeking discussion and direction on whether the County Commission would consider issuing
an RFP for construction of a small modular home that meets codes on a site currently owned by the
County as a prototype for affordable, workforce housing. A funding type for a potential prototype
has not been identified; however, the BOCC has approved a legislative change request to add
construction of affordable housing to the Land Authority funding.
The County already owns a couple of housing units rented to county staff, based on a lottery. After
bidding and constructing this prototype, the unit could be rented in the same way.
The County owns:
• Key Largo Park duplex 2 units that are 1,300 SF each. The rent is $550 /month ($5 /SF /year)
• Big Pine Key Park unit that is 2,006 SF. The rent is $1,672month ($10 /SF /year)
If developed, this prototype could be viewed by the local community as a potential example for
property owners to consider in their re- building options. This prototype could also be utilized as an
example for the potential development of scattered sites (Tier III subdivision parcels) through an
RFP process, assuming the BOCC directs the Land Authority to target these properties for the future
development of workforce housing.

Small Home Pricing To Monroe County Standards
Assembled are some examples of small homes built as modular homes to Monroe County Code, and single wide modular replacement housing for both
low sets where elevation allows, and on elevated foundations where required with parking underneath. There is no contractor profit or overhead shown
in theses budgets which may $10,000 to costs.
All pricing shown includes metal roof, Hardi (cemplank concrete siding), and impact windows and doors. Delivery costs have been calculated to
Marathon for pricing examples.
All of these homes are priced to meet Monroe County Codes with 180 MPH wind loads. The single wide modular homes have 9 foot high sidewalls, and
nominal 2.5/12 pitch to meet delivery height restrictions. The typical sidewall in mobile homes is 7'6" or a max 8'. The 9' high sidewalls allow for 60"
high windows instead of 48" high windows. Typical appliances included in the homes are 18CF refrigerator, 4 burner stove /oven combo/ and dishwasher.
In all cases upgrades are available.
Prices can be lowered by using shingle roofs, vinyl siding, and non - impact windows (would need shutters), but as this last hurricane demonstrated
shingle roofs, vinyl siding and non - impact openings don't do well.
Home costs are not in direct relationship to square feet size. It costs the same to deliver a 13 feet wide 500 SF small home as it does to deliver a 765 SF 2
BR, 2 BA single wide modular. Electric service, plumbing connections, plans, elevation certs, delivery, set, tie down, stairs HVAC, etc. are very similar for
a 500 SF home as for a 2 BR 765 SF home.
Homes can be built to any size and with any floor plan design.

Monroe County Modular Replacement Housing Summary
Single Family replacement homes to meet Monroe County codes are more expensive than mobile homes.
Pricing for similar style homes with increased square footage is not directly increased per square feet size (The
Larger home the lower square foot price).
Issues and suggestions
Frame modular housing costs tends to be a less costly solution that CBS, and is built to the same building code
standards.
Concrete modular homes are available, but are heavy and typically require two cranes or one very large crane
usually not available in lower keys. Typical lot sizes aren't large enough to spot two cranes, and access to lots
doesn t usually allow this type of construction.
Single family re- developments have an economy of scale when multiple homes are being done at the same
time.
The least costly type of affordable housing is multi - family development.

Discussion and Direction
Item C.4
Consider issuing an RFP for construction of a small modular home that meets codes on a
site currently owned by the County as a prototype for affordable, workforce housing. A
funding type for a potential prototype has not been identified; however, the BOCC has
approved a legislative change request to add construction of affordable housing to the
Land Authority funding.
