AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution authorizing the assignment of two ROGO allocations
to Habitat for Humanity, Upper Keys for affordable housing on Lot 5 and 6, Winston Park Subdivision, Key
Largo.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Habitat for Humanity, Upper Keys is sponsoring the construction of new homes for
two families under its single-family affordable housing program. The two new single family units are to be
constructed on Lot 5, Block 1 (Permit #02-3-2751; RE 00545400.000000) and Lot 6, Block I (Permit #02-3-
2740; RE 00545410.000000) in Winston Park Subdivision, Key Largo.
Unfortunately, Habitat for Humanity was unable to receive approval of the Building Permit applications in order
to enter ROGO by the July 12,2002, deadline for this ROGO Quarter. Therefore, these applications will not be
eligible to receive ROGO awards until after the end of this ROGO Quarter, which is October 12, 2002. The
earliest date for action by the Planning Commission on these ROGO awards would not be until sometime in
November of early December.
The ROGO allocations for these two affordable housing applications will be assigned from the pool of 20 I
ROGO allocations authorized the County under its Chapter 380 Agreement with the Florida Department of
Community Affairs, dated May 3, 2002. Prior to issuance of the building permits, affordable deed restrictions
would have to be placed on both properties.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Approved on June 19, 2002, assignment of affordable housing
ROGO allocations based on the Chapter 380 Agreement between DCA and the County for Meridian West, Ltd.
(9 allocations) and Tradewinds Hammocks-Phase II (52 allocations).
