She said that in Philadelphia,Pulte Homes build smaller homes within bigger developments and that worked well. Michael Puchalla said he would like to see a website that contains all the current housing resources. This would be a great avenue for the videos that were created for the media giving affordable housing definitions. Mary Waller asked if she could get the videos to put on the NABOR website. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS AND PRESENTATIONS a. SHIP Program Disaster Response-Lisa Carr,SHIP Grant Coordinator,told the group about the BCC direction to use all of the unexpended funds in the SHIP program for Irma disaster recovery. The SHIP down payment will be closed for now. The Board of County Commissioners approved the recommendation on October 10th.Applications were taken in Everglades City,Immokalee and Naples at the main office. Triage was set-up to talk to 233 people regarding applications and eligibility. Applications must be turn in by November 9th. The rehabilitation program will allow $15,000 maximum for insurance deductible reimbursement and out of pocket expenses. The disaster grant offers a 15-year forgivable loan for demo and replace of mobile homes and repairs of extensive home damage of owner-occupied and homesteaded properties. b. Apartment Report -Jason Rummer told the group that apartment rentals have gone up in cost an average of 17.2%since last year. He also stated that 10%of all available rental units are currently under construction due to Hurricane Irma. c. Cirrus Point PUD-Cormac gave the affordable housing density bonus recap in regard to Cirrus Point PUD. Although the AHAC recommended approval,the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to deny the approval. Joe Schmitt explained that it was denied because the size of a one bedroom unit was changed to 650 sq.ft.,the representation was poor and the application itself was poorly written. The petitioner withdrew the application instead of continuing on to the BCC due to this action. Steve Hruby stated that he felt that insurmountable damage was done in regard to affordable housing in Collier County because of the denial and Taylor McLaughlin called it "appalling". d. Housing Plan-The AHAC recommended adoption of the plan at the BCC meeting held on October 25. The Board voted 5-0 to accept the plan. Cormac is currently working with the County Manager to bring back items by order of importance to be discussed and approved by the Board. At the Board meeting in December staff will bring an item for the Board to approve the RFI for the Bembridge,Manatee Park and Grey Oaks properties in order to send a letter to potential developers of interest regarding the properties. In February,staff will take additional items for adoption including the definition of affordable housing,trust fund and changing the impact fee program among others. The rest of the Housing Plan implementation will follow in the early part of next year. 2 7.
