7. STAFF AND GENERAI" COMMUNICATIONS
John Harney opened a discussion regarding zoning and planning regarding modifications for Rural
Land stewardship Areas. He stated 2 villages have gone forward without any affordable housing
included. cormac said that all villages must have a mix of pricing, incomes and styles, but ther;
is nothing that states what those levels should be. we are suggesting that 2.s% of the acreage be
set aside for affordable housing. This would equate to approximately 10 units per acre and Jbout
L0% of all overall units.
a Housing Trust Fund Subcommittee update - Mary waller stated the Trust Fund subcommittee
has met and are putting together a rist of possibre sources for funding. They are arso setting up
a meeting with Commissioners to try to get funds from private sources. Mary asked the land
trust committee members to go the hearings to find out what is happening. The goal would beto write a n informed letter to the Bcc in support of the land trust. cormacwill draft a short andtothe point letter. steve Hrubywill contact other Boa rds th is week to get th e ir support. Litha
Berger motioned to write the retter, Mary waler seconded, and the vote was 9-0 in favor. Thegroup asked if it would be possible to hold a joint workshop in January and invite Habitat, HELp
and other non-profits.
Project U pdates:
Bembridge PUD -There has been a lot of neighborhood opposition to having affordable
housing. steve Hruby suggested that AHAC members should go to the public meetings and
show support for affordable housing and speak for themselves as well as the committee. our
members should also get other organizations to attend and show support as weu, such as The
chamber a nd the school Board. Cormacwill makesureall of the public meeting dates are sent
