Request for extension of ROGO allocation reservation for remaining 22 Affordable Homes that have not been issued building permits. Most recent resolution reserving allocation awards for this property was o18-2013 (attached). Dear Mayor, County Commissioners and Planning Staff: Today we are asking the Commission for a 1 year extension for the assignment of the remaining 22 Affordable ROGO's for the Islander Village Development at 5030 5a' Avenue, Stock Island. Please accept this letter as a short explination of the project and where we are today. As you know, Islander Village is an 89 unit affordable housing development in Stock Island where the land is owned by the County, and under a 99 year land lease Islander Village, LLC has been building moderate deed restricted affordable units. In 2007 and 20o8 Isladner Village completed 43 of the Moderate Income Affordable homes. These have been sold or rented to moderate income Monroe County families for the past 8 years. Unfortunately, due to the housing market crisis we became unable, like many others, to obtain construction financing and could not move forward until this year. We are currently under construction on the remaining houses. We obtained a construction loan for all 46 homes, built and received Certificates of Occupancy on 14 homes, have an additional io homes permitted and in construction scheduled to be completed by Jan 31s' Our building permits for the remaining 22 homes have been submitted to the Building Department. Unfortunately, due to the building code change, they have determined that the plans for the remaining homes must be updated. This process will take approximately 4 weeks, and will delay our building permits being issued before our current deadline. Thus the need to request this extension for the ROGO allocation for these 22 homes. We do not need a year extension, however it has been determined in the past that when extensions are done it is most rational to extend all dates to the same date to avoid future confusion. Through the Commission we have recently extended the Completion deadline in the Land Lease to Dec 7`h 2o16 Sept 161h BOCC). And through the Planning Commission have extended the Major Conditional Use to the same date, Dec 7th 2016 ( 27-15). Thank you for your continued support, time, and effort on behalf of Monroe County and Affordable Housing.
