ITEM BACKGROUND:(1)
In April 2016, the County received requests from Victoria
(2)
Castellanos, owner of affordable housing unit #34 in Islander Village, and from Gary Lee
Lovette II, owner of affordable housing unit #35 in Islander Village, and Nickolas Frank Formico,
Jr., and Victoria Ashley Commander-Formico, sub-lessees of affordable housing unit #35 in Islander
Village, to waive the 1.5% Administrative Fee stipulated in the Ground Lease between Monroe
County and Islander Village, LLC. Per the ground lease, the 1.5% of the purchase price is an
administrative fee to be paid to the County for review of the contract and assistance with
coordinating the closing on the Affordable Housing Unit.

County staff notified Ms. Castellanos, Mr. Lovette, and Mr. and Mrs. Formico, that staff could not
administratively waive the Administrative Fee, and that these requests would need to go before the
BOCC. In the interim, Ms. Castellanos, Mr. Lovette, and Mr. and Mrs. Formico have agreed to
escrow agreements to establish interest-bearing escrow accounts for the 1.5% Administrative Fee
fee is $4,950, or $9,900 total.
At the February 2016 meeting, the BOCC waived the administrative fee for Steven and Jessica
Foureman (#38 Islander Village) as well as Paul Reed and Sophie Tornek (#13 Park Village) and
re that the maximum sales
price is not exceeded. Staff is currently in the process of calculating that flat fee and amending those
ground leases. However, amending leases will take some time, as the leasor's must be contacted and
agree to the amendments and the BOCC must approve amendments. Staff is asking for this interim
resolution to allow real estate transactions to close without escrowing large lump sums of money
based on the currently requested 1.5% fee.
As discussed on previous occasions with the BOCC, the County has limited resources for the
monitoring and qualifying of affordable housing. The BOCC recommended establishing a fee based
on the staff time it takes to process qualified applicants and tracking units.
