Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Dai~y News on
March 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication f~led w~th
the Clerk, a public'hearing was opened.
Greg M~hallc, Affordable Housing D~rector, stated tha~ the pro-
posed ordinance w~l~ allow for a waiver of ~mpac~ fees fo= rental
affordable housing project developers for a s~x (6) year period. He
explained that the County can gran~ the deferral w~thout having to
reimburse the ~mpact fee f~ds because It fails within the seven
year w~ndow available for pa~ent for caplTa~ Improvements; however,
~f capital Improvements ~ust be completed and funds are not available,
the County ~ay have to pay for the Improvement and reimburse the
~mpac~ fee funds but the chance ~e slight tha~ this w~l occur.
Mr. Mlhallc stated that the number of years that a project must
remain affordable has been left blank In the proposed ordinance and
years ~s being reco~ended by S~aff because ~t coincides with the low
~ncome housing t~ credit ~d sale progr~ that the State ~d Federal
governments offer.
Mr. Mlhal~c stated that the presen~ ordinance allows for a 50
percent deferral of ~mpact fees for ~5 years If the project services
low ~ncome ~nd~vlduale only but the proposed ordinance would allow 100
percent deferral for six (6) years.
Co~ss~oner Norris questioned the mechanism to ensure that the
deferrals are repaid when due?
Mr. M~l~c ~nformed the Board that the deferral ~e secured by a
supe=~or lien on the property.
R~chard Yovanov~ch, Assistant County Attorney, etated that the
propert~ o~e~ ~s required ~o enter ~n~o an Affordable Housing
Agreement with Collier County which Is recorded and the County can
Pmge 2
March 30, 1994
foreclose on the property, if necessary.
Xn response to Couissioner Norris, Mr. Mlhalic replied that no
out-of-pocket monies will be required by the County for the lapact fee
f~nds.
Couuleeloner Volpe stated that the County does not want to be
placed in the position of dispossessing and/or becoming the owner of
the properties If foreclosure Is necessary. He questioned If personal
guarantees are required?
Commissioner Natthews stated that the bank will want to protect
the mortgage since the County lien is superior.
Co~u~lssloner Saunders stated that It wtll be easier to obtatn the
real estate than pursue a personal guarantee.
Martin Hennassay, Saddlebrook Village, stated that the impact
fees are approximately $4,400 per unit or about $2,0000000 on his
pro~ect and the project w111 be worth approximately $30 to $31
million. He explained that as part of the finance package, he will
have a co--ltment by the lender that the cash flow In six (6) years is
adequate to meet the debt service coverage requirements.
Co-~leeloner Volpe questioned if the ordinance can contain a pro-
vision that the applicant must establish a co~u~ltment from the primary
lender or lenders that the cash flow will be sufficient at the end of
six (6) years?
Commissioner Constantine pointed out that the County could eel1
the property for ten cents ($.10) on a dollar and come out ahead.
Mr. Hennassay stated that 40 to 45 percent cash will be privately
Invested In the project between hisself and the investor group. He
pointed out that the companies that have invested billions of dollars
in this type of project have never experienced a loss or they would
never get anyone to Invest again.

In response to Co~u~tsstoner Hatthews, Hr. Nlhallc replied that
every year a project must certify that they meet the guidelines for
affordable housing.
Couissloner Natthews questioned If the the ordinance includes a
penalty clause to guarantee that after the Impact fees are paid In six
(6) years that the project remains affordable for 15 years?

Affordable Housing Agreement and enjoin them from renting to an
unqualified applicant. He informed the Board that he will include in
the ordinance language providing that costs and fees for enforcing the
Agreement Is to be paid by the defaulting party.
