BACKGROUND: The Housing Conservation and Development Agency recommends ratification of the attached resolution designating as a Category "B" Project the planning and design of a thirty (30) unit single family residential sales housing development within the affordability range of moderate income families on the three (3) acre City -owned St. Hugh Oaks Academy property. The attached resolution further authorizes the City Manager to advertise for the required professional planning and design Services; appointing a Certification Committee of not leas than three appropriately licensed professionals from the City's staff; authorizing the City Manager to appoint a fourth Certification Committee member from the private sector subsequent to the receipt of proposals and appointing Jerry Gereaux, Director, Housing Conservation and Development Agency as Chairman of the Competitive Selection Committee. w < ` • !` fA r Designation as Category "B" Project (St. Hugh Oaks Property) Page - 2 - In December of 1986, the City acquired a three (3) acre parcel of land located at Douglas Road and Franklin Street, known as the St. Hugh Oaks Academy Site, for the purpose of expanding the availability of housing for moderate income families in connection with the City sponsored Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program. At the February 12, 1988 City Commission meeting, the City Administration recommended the development of a forty (40) unit low density townhome project on the St. Hugh Oaks property, in addition to requesting authorization to retain the services of an architectural firm for the purpose of providing a preliminary site plan and schematic drawings for developing property. Through Motion No. 87- 157, the Commission deferred action on staff's recommendation and instructed the Administration to conduct a townhall meeting in the Coconut Grove neighborhood for the purpose of securing input from the residents of the area in developing a proposal which would be acceptable to the neighborhood. In March of 1987, two public meetings were held in the Coconut Grove neighborhood for the purpose of obtaining public input in the development of an affordable housing development on the St. Hugh Oaks property. Those groups and individuals represented, overwhelmingly rejected the development of townhomes or similarly configured housing on the site as per City staff's recommendation and requested that the feasibility of a single family (detached) housing development be explored. As a result, City staff is now recommending a housing proposal for the development of the St. Hugh Oaks property which calls for the construction of thirty (30) single family homes. During the month of September, 1988, two meetings were held with Coconut Grove neighborhood organizations and residents for the purpose of discussing the single family housing proposal. The overall sentiment and consensus of the neighborhood was positive and favorable relative to the development of single family homes on the property. The key aspects of the housing development plan being proposed for the St. Hugh Oaks property are: 1) 30 single family homes are being proposed for development on the site (see attached preliminary site plan). 2.) Each home will have 3-bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and contain 1,500 square feet of living area (see attached typical). 3) The homes will be situated on 3,075 square foot lots to which the homebuyers will hold fee simple interest. Designation as Category "B" Project (St. Hugh Oaks Property) Page - 3 - 4) The common areas of the developed site will be deeded to a homeowner's association which will be organized to provide on- going common area maintenance. 5) The projected sales prices of the homes is $67,000, exclusive of the cost of the lot. (The City Commission will be required to determine the equitable sales price for the individual lots and for the common area. The disposition of price of the land will, in part, determine the income range of the families able to qualify and purchase the proposed homes). 6) The proposal calls for the City to provide "soft" second mortgages to the qualified moderate income purchasers of the homes being proposed. This is necessary in order to maintain a proper balance between purchaser's income and mortgage related carrying costs associated with homeownership. First mortgage home purchase financing will be provided by one or more local financial institutions. Should the preliminary housing development proposal for the development of the St. Hugh Oaks property be accepted to the City Commission, decisions on several outstanding considerations by the City Commission will be required in order to proceed with the development of this housing project. Among the actions the City Commission will be asked to take are: 1) Approval of the retention of an architectural firm for the purpose of providing final site plan, schematic and working drawings for the housing project. 2) Approval of the proposal, including site plan, unit design, and configuration of the homes, including approval of "down sized lots" which consist of approximately 3,075 square foot (an exception to the City Zoning Ordinance will be required in order to forego the standard City requirement of 5,000 square foot for single family home construction). 3) Determination by the City Commission of the level of land writedown and disposition value of the site. 4) Approval of a "second mortgage home purchase pool" for the purpose of providing second mortgage financing to the prospective homebuyers. 5) City Commission contractors for development. authorization to solicit bids from general the construction of the proposed housing Designation as Category "B" Project (St. Hugh Oaks Property) Page - 4 - In view of the critical need for housing opportunities within the affordability range of moderate income families, it is recommended that the City Commission approve the use of the City -owned St. Hugh Oak Academy site for the development of a thirty (30) unit residential sales housing project within the economic means of moderate income purchasers. The first step in achieving the development of such housing on the site involves site planning and project architectural design consistent with the above stated development objectives. The attached resolution initiates the professional planning and design Consultant Selection process as established by Florida Statutes Chapter 287.055 and City of Miami Ordinance No. 9572, adopted February 10, 1983. City Commission adoption of the attached resolution is recommended.
