APPROVING a request to provide $75,000 in financial assistance from the Housing Trust Fund to
Heritage-Cliffs, LLC., and approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the related loan
documents for the construction of five, for-sale, affordable four bedroom single family detached units in
order to satisfy the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements for the development of 35 residential
units in Village L-l of the Calavera Hills Master Plan.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The Calavera Hills Village L-l project is located on the northwest corner of Harwich Drive and future
Edgeware Way in the Calavera Hills Master Plan. The proposed project will provide a total of 35 single
family detached housing units.
The affordable project consists of five (5) single family detached units which will be distributed throughout
the project and will be developed concurrently with the market rate units. Each affordable unit will contain
1,330 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms and a two-car garage. The units will be restricted and
affordable to households with incomes not exceeding 80% of the area median.
On September 11, 1997, the Housing Commission recommended approval of the site development plan
for the five affordable units to the Planning Commission. On November 5, 1997, the Planning Commission
approved the Village L-l project. On February 12, 1998, the Housing Commission recommended
approval of the applicant’s request for financial assistance for the project. The request for financial
assistance is now being forwarded to the City Council for approval and authorization to execute the
appropriate documents.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT
Developer, as well as City assistance, has been structured in a form which is first used for project
construction and then for deferred financing for the actual homebuyer. This subsidy financing is
structured as a loan which is repaid to the City upon resale of the unit. Any real appreciation is shared
between the City and the homebuyer based on the contribution to the initial purchase.
Proiect Aareements
In order for the project to receive the $75,000 loan, the Developer is required to enter into loan and
regulatory agreements with the City of Carlsbad. These agreements and related documents are attached
for review as Exhibit 2. As one of the actions set forth within this report, the City Council is being asked to
approve, in substantially the form presented, the Loan Agreement, Developer Deed of Trust and Security
Agreement, Developer Promissory Note, Borrower Promissory Note, Borrower Deed of Trust and Security
Agreement and Borrower Disclosure Statement. These documents are explained below.

The maximum amount of the loan to the Developer shall be $75,000. As each individual home is sold,
the developer will be credited with repayment of $15,000 of the City Loan. The loan will then be

l Developer Deed of Trust and Security Agreement - this document outlines the security for the
construction loan to be made by the City of Carlsbad to Heritage-Cliffs, LLC. The security provided for
the loan includes: 1) the owner’s fee interest in the property, 2) interest in all easement, right-of-ways,
and other rights used for access purposes, 3) all buildings and improvements of every kind and

description on the property, and 3) interest in all personal property or fixtures on the property.
l Borrower Disclosure Statement - this document explains the major provisions of the Promissory
Note and Deed of Trust to help the borrower better understand the terms and conditions of said

HOUSING COMMISSION/STAFF RECOMMENDATION
At their meeting on February 12, 1998, the Housing Commission reviewed the request from Heritage-
Cliffs, LLC., for financial assistance related to the subject affordable housing project. The Commission
also reviewed the draft financial assistance agreements/documents. The Commission recommended by a
vote of 5-l (Calverly - No), that the City Council approve the loan in the amount of $75,000 from the
Housing Trust Fund and related loan and regulatory documents.
SUBORDINATION OF CITY AGREEMENTS
It is important to note that by approving the subject agreements, the Council is also agreeing to
subordinate the City’s loans and agreements to the lien of deeds of trust securing the Construction and
Permanent Financing provided by a private lender. The lenders will require that the City subordinate its
loan and agreements to those of the Bank. As with similar previous projects, staff will ensure that the
Bank provide commitments reasonably designed to protect the City’s investment in the event of default.
These protections include a notice of default to the City and a right of the City to cure the default.

approval of the project in July of 1997. No further environmental review is required as part of the approval
of the financial assistance.

has a current undesignated fund balance of approximately $5.1 million. The $75,000 loan will be in the

appreciation, upon sale or transfer of each individual property.

default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, nor shall it invalidate any act done
pursuant to notice of default, or prejudice the City in the exercise of any right, power, or remedy

ARTICLE 6
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property in compliance with, and shall not cause or
permit the Property to be in violation of any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations
relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions on, under or about the Property
including, but not limited to, soil and ground water conditions. Trustor shall not use, generate,
manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the
Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or
related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the
definition of “hazardous substances,” hazardous wastes, ” “hazardous materials,” or “toxic
Heritage-Cliffs Deed of Trust 7
substances” under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to
hereinafter as “Hazardous Materials”) except such of the foregoing as may be customarily kept
and used in and about multifamily residential property.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written
notice of(i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory
actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any
applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous
Materials, (“Hazardous Materials Law”); (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party
against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation,
loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
above hereinafter referred to a “Hazardous Materials Claims”); and (iii) Trustor’s discovery of
any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that
could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as “border-zone property” under the
provision of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted
in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership,
occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law.
Beneficiary shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims and to
have its reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith paid by Trustor. Trustor shall
indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary and its councihnembers, supervisors, directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost,
expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation,
storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on,
under, or about the Property including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential
damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the
Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required
plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with
clauses (a) and (b), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
Trustor shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials
on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other
compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement,
consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgement, impair the value of
the Beneficiary’s security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary’s prior consent shall not
be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the
Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is
of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably
possible to obtain Beneficiary’s consent before taking such action, provided that in such event
Trustor shall notify Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees
not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (i) a particular
remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Trustor will or may be
subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii)
Trustor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable
Heritage-CMfs Deed of Trust 8
alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary’s
security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the
Beneficiary’s written request for information (and the Trustor’s response) concerning the
environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other
Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation
and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the
Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an “environmental provision” for purposes of California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be “environmentally
impaired” (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or
to be an “affected parcel” (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section
7265(e)(l)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary’s or the
Trustee’s rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its
rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such
environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and
remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to
judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining
the Beneficiary’s right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or
acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(l), if the release or threatened release of
hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee,
occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of
the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or
threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys’ fees, incurred
by the Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any
action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree
to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the rate specified in
the Note until paid, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be
due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion
of such action.

Event of Default and the unpaid Principal of the Note shall immediately become due and
payable, upon written notice by the Beneficiary to the Trustor (or automatically where so
specified in the Loan Documents), and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise
such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right.
7.3 The Beneficiary’s Right to Enter and Take Possession. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by
a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the
Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own
name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to
preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the
income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the
Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Default (as defined below)
hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such Default or pursuant to such Notice of
Default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, Beneficiary shall be
entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of
any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a
receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof;
(c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written

Default and Election to Sell”), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed

(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which
the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter
evidencing, creating or securing all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby, or provided
by law.
7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale. Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by
exercise of the power of sale herein contained, the Beneficiary shall give notice to the Trustee
(the “Notice of Sale”) and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby
(and the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the unpaid principal
amount of the Note is immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any
expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require.
Heritage-Cliffs Deed of Trust 10
(4 Upon receipt of such notice from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be
recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as then
required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse
of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and
Election to Sell and after Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security,
at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate
lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine
unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at
public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the
time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient
deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary,
may purchase at such sale, and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such
purchaser or purchasers.
(b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, including costs of
evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment
of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other amounts owed to Beneficiary under
the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to
Trustor.
(c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without
further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion,
give a new Notice of Sale.
7.5 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under
the Security, and without regard to the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or
receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such
appointment and waives further notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or
receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases, and all
the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as
such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless
such receivership is sooner terminated.
7.6 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Heritage-Cliffs Deed of Trust 11
7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every
right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary. No consent or
waiver, expressed or implied, by the Beneficiary to or any breach by the Trustor in the
performance of the obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or
waiver of obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the part of the Beneficiary to
complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long
such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of its right hereunder or
impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default by the Trustor.
(b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of
any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security or the payment of any sums
secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Loan Documents, (iv)
releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or otherwise changes any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents, (v) consents to the
granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (iv) makes or consents to any
agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge,
modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any other obligation of
the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or any maker, co-
signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor shall any such act or
omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or
intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default,
nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by the
Beneficiary shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby.
7.8 Suits to Protect the Security. The Beneficiary shall have power to (a)
institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any
impairment of the Security and the rights of the Beneficiary as may be unlawful or any violation
of this Deed of Trust, (b) preserve or protect its interest (as described in this Deed of Trust) in the
Security, and (c) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other
governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the
enforcement for compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security
thereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of the Beneficiary.
7.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership,
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
proceedings affecting the Trustor, its creditors or its property, the Beneficiary, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings
and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Trustor hereunder after
such date.

BORROWER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER
THE CLIFFS AT CALAVERA HILLS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The City of Carlsbad (the “City”), through its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, has
required the developer of The Cliffs at Calavera Hills to sell the homes in the development to
qualified households under terms that make the home affordable to you and the other new
homebuyers. The City has also provided financial assistance to the developer to assist in making
the Cliffs at Calavera Hills homes affordable. Your new home is affordable to you because the
City and the developer are providing you with second mortgage financing through the Cliffs at
Calavera Hills Homebuyer Assistance Program (the “Program”) so that you will be able to buy
your home. The City offers the Program in order to enable low income households to own their
own homes in Carlsbad.
As a condition of the financing, the City will require you to sign a Promissory Note and a
Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust will be recorded against vour m-ooertv.
This Disclosure Statement explains the major provisions of the Promissory Note and the
Deed of Trust to help you understand their requirements. You should, of course, read all of the
City loan documents yourself and become completely familiar with them.
A. PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND LEASING YOUR HOME
Under the terms of the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust, the house you buy with the
assistance of the City loan must be your main place of residence. This means you must live in
the house no less than 10 months out of each calendar year. Each year, you must certi@ in
writing to the City that you are living in your home as your main place of residence. In addition,
you cannot lease your home. If you fail to follow these provisions, you are considered to be in
default, and the City may declare its loan immediately due and payable.
B. NOTICES TO CITY
1. Notice of Intent to Sell. Assim or Transfer. If you decide to sell, assign or
transfer your home or any partial interest in your home, or if you record a mortgage or deed of
trust against your home, you must let the City know in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the sale, assignment, transfer, or the recording of a mortgage.
2. Notice and Certification of Purchase Price. If you go to sell your home, at least
fifteen (15) days before the sale closes (close of escrow), you must give the City a copy of the
sales contract and a written statement that declares, under penalty of perjury, the gross sales price
of the home. The written statement must be signed by both you (as seller) and the proposed
Heritage-Cliffs Borrower Disclosure 1
buyer. The written statement must also certify that the proposed buyer, or any other party, has
not paid and will not pay to you money or any other consideration that is not set out in the sales
contract for the home. The statement must also certify that you (as the seller) have not received
and will not receive from the proposed buyer, or anybody else, money or other consideration that
is not included in the sales contract.
3. Deliverv of Reauired Notices. Any notice you must provide to the City under
the terms of the City loan documents must be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
express delivery service with a delivery receipt, or personally delivered with a delivery receipt
obtained.
C. INTEREST ON THE CITY LOAN: “CONTINGENT INTEREST”
The City loan charges “contingent interest”. The contingent interest represents the
benefit you received from the City loan, and may generally be described as the percentage of the
sales price that the City loaned to you, with an adjustment or discount applied. The contingent
interest on your loan is due immediately if:
. You default under the City loan or the First Mortgage, or . You sell or transfer title to your home, or . The end of the term of your loan is reached, with exceptions (see section
E. below)
The contingent interest on your City loan has three (3) parts:
(1) Appreciation Amount;
(2) Contingent interest percentage; and
(3) Automatic 25% discount to account for any improvements you may make
to the house.
An example is used to show each of the three (3) parts and how each would be calculated.
Example 1 Your loan from the City is $18,200. The original sales price you paid for your
home was $140,000. When you sell, the sales price is $173,600.
1. Annreciation Amount. The appreciation amount is generally the difference
between the original sales price you paid for the home and the price at which you sell it. For
example:
Price of House When You Sell:
Minus
$173,600
Price of House When You Bought: - $140,000
Appreciation Amount: $33,600
Heritage-Cliffs Borrower Disclosure 2
77
The appreciation amount is calculated differently under certain circumstances. If you (a) prepay
your City loan, or (b) transfer your home by means other than selling it, or (c) are in default
under the terms of the City loan, the appreciation amount will be figured by using the Fair
Market Value of the home (instead of the price of house when you sell, as above). Fair Market
Value is the value of the home as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by the City. If
such an appraisal is necessary, the cost of the appraisal would be paid by you. If a creditor takes
title to your home, the appreciation amount will be figured by using the amount paid for the
home at the creditor’s sale.
2. Contingent Interest Percentage. The contingent interest percentage is the
percentage of the sales price that the City loaned to you. This percentage is figured by dividing
the amount of the City loan by the purchase price you paid for the home. Continuing with the
example:
City Loan Amount: $18,200
Divided By
Price of House When You Bought: + $140,000
Contingent Interest Percentage 13%
3. Automatic Discount For Possible Canital Imnrovements. During the time that
you live in your home, you may make improvements to it that will increase its value. For
example, you may put in a new central heating system or update the bathroom. To recognize the
possibility that you have invested in improvements which have contributed to an increase in
value beyond the increase due to a rise in the general real estate market, the contingent interest
on the City loan provides for a 25% discount. This discount is given automatically, even if you
have not made any improvements. Continuing with the example, the discount for capital
improvements reduces the contingent interest owed the City as follows:
Appreciation Amount: $ 33,600
Multiplied By
Contingent Interest Percentage x .13
Multiplied By 4,368
Automatic Discount X .25
Total Dollar Amount of Discount $ 1,092
$ 4,368
1,092
Contingent Interest You Owe City $ 3,276
Heritage-Cliffs Borrower Disclosure
The automatic capital improvement discount shall be calculated by the City as set out in
the Promissory Note under Section 4. “Contingent Interest”. The result is the same as with the
calculation above. A mathematical step has been eliminated.
Appreciation Amount: $ 33,600
Multiplied By
Contingent Interest Percentage x .13
$ 4,368
Automatic Discount Applied .75
Contingent Interest You Owe City $ 3,276
D. PAYING BACK YOUR CITY LOAN
1. No Pavments Reauired for 30 Years Unless You Sell, Transfer. or Default.
Your loan from the City is a “deferred” loan. This means that you do not have to make
payments on your loan for the entire 30 year term. If, however, at any time you sell, assign or
transfer the home or if you break the terms of the loan documents, both the principal and
contingent interest owed on the loan will be immediately due and payable. The refinancing of
your first mortgage loan does not trigger immediate payment of principal and contingent interest
if the refinancing meets the terms of Promissory Note (as described in section F. below).
2. When You Sell Your Home.
When you sell, transfer, or assign your home or any interest in it, the principal and
contingent interest owing is immediately due and payable. The only times when this is not the
case is when a transfer is to an existing husband or wife who signed the Promissory Note, to a
husband or wife who then becomes a co-owner of the home, to a husband or wife as part of a
marriage or a divorce, to an inter vivos trust in which you are the beneficiary, or to a husband,
wife, or child upon death of the borrower.
Example 2 shows the repayment process for the City loan when the house is sold.
Example 2 You have lived in your home for 8 full years and now must sell it because you
received a promotion to a job in another state. You bought your home for
$140,000. The City provided you with a loan of $18,200 to help you buy your
house. The sales price of your home is 200,000.
(a) Amount of PrinciDal Owed Uwon Sale. Since the City Loan is a
deferred loan, and you have made no payments during the time you have held the loan, the full
amount of principal must be repaid to the City at the time of sale. In this example, the principal
amount due is $18,200.
Heritage-Cliffs Borrower Disclosure
(b> Amount of Contingent Interest Owed. To figure out the amount
of contingent interest you owe the City, we need to calculate the appreciation amount and the
contingent interest percentage, and then apply the automatic discount.

E. POTENTIAL FORGIVENESS OF CONTINGENT INTEREST
Under the terms of the Promissory Note, the contingent interest on your loan is due at the
end of the 30-year loan term. However, you will not have to pay the contingent interest at the
end of the loan term if you meet all of the following conditions:
(1) You live in your home and there has been no sale or transfer during the entire 30
year term, and
Heritage-Cliffs Borrower Disclosure 5
(2) You have repaid all of the principal you owe the City, and
(3) You are not in default under the City loan.
F. REFINANCING FIRST MORTGAGE LOAN
The Promissory Note allows you to refinance your first mortgage loan without triggering
repayment of your City loan if the following conditions are met. The refinancing must be
approved by the City. The amount received from the refinancing can be no more than the
remaining principal amount of your first mortgage plus reasonable closing costs of the
refinancing. The refinance cannot result in higher monthly payments on the first mortgage loan
than were due before the refinancing. If these conditions are not met, principal and contingent
interest on your City loan must be paid to the City when you refinance.
G. DEFAULT PROVISIONS
When you accept City loan assistance, you agree to meet all of the conditions of all of the
City loan documents. If you violate any provisions of the documents, you are considered to be in
default under your City loan. Also, if you default under the first mortgage loan, you would also
be considered to be in default under the City loan. If you do not correct the violation, the City
could require you to immediately repay the principal and contingent interest owing on the City
loan. The City could also go to court and get a court order to enforce the provisions of the City
loan documents, which may result in a foreclosure on your home.

The C3ty of CazX~Eaad Housixz~ & Redeudopment Depax-tment
AREPORT TO THE
HOUSING+ aOMMISSXON
Btafi: Craig Ruiz Mana@snent JLnalymt
XITEM NO. 2
DATE: FEBRUARY 12,1998
SUBJECT: CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE L-l - RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO
THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE $75,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FIVE, FOR SALE, AFFORDABLE FOUR
BEDROOM SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED UNITS IN ORDER TO SATISFY
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 35 RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN VILLAGE L-l OF
THE CALAVERA HILLS MASTER PLAN.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Housing Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 98-003 recommending
APPROVAL to the City Council to provide $75,000 in financial assistance from the
Housing Trust Fund to Heritage Builders, Inc., for construction of five, for sale,
affordable four bedroom single family detached units fee in order to satisfy the
requirements of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance for the development of 35
residential units in Village L-l of the Calavera Hills Master Plan.
II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
On September 11, 1997, the Housing Commission recommended approval of the
construction of the site development plan for five affordable units to the Planning
Commission. At the September meeting, the applicant had not requested financial
assistance for the project. Subsequent to that meeting, the applicant determined that
financial assistance is necessary to develop the affordable housing product, as
approved.
III. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located on the northwest corner of Harwich Drive and future Edgeware
Way in the Calavera Hills Master Plan. The affordable units will be distributed
throughout the project and are to be developed concurrently with the market units.
Each unit will contain 1,330 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms and a two-car
garage. The five affordable for-sale units in Village L-l will be restricted and affordable
to households with incomes not exceeding 80% of the area median.
CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE L-l
FEBRUARY 12,1998
PAGE 2
Iv. FINANCIAL
The developer has made a request for financial assistance to support the sale of the five
units at affordable prices. The Affordable Housing Policy Team is recommending that
financial assistance be provided in the amount of $15,000 per unit or a total of $75,000.
The following factors were considered in arriving at this recommendation.
A. Development Team
It is important that the developer have the capacity to successfully implement the
proposed project. Although the developer is not experienced with assisted for-sale
development, the team is experienced and has been successful in developing
conventional homeownership projects.
B. Cost Reasonableness
The developer has provided detailed proforma development cost information for
review by staff and the Housing Commission (See Attachment 5). Since
development costs are one of the key variables deter mining the need for subsidies, it
is important that those costs be reasonable. At $207,000, including land but no profit,
these average unit costs are consistent with typical development within the City.
C. Undue Gain
It is important that any financial assistance have the effect of making the units more
affordable and not creating undue gain for any party. In the proposed affordable
project there is no developer return or profit factored into the project proforma and
there are no other incentives tied to either the market or affordable projects which
would create any gain for the developer.
D. Subsidy Analvsis
With projected costs and a known restricted purchase price based on the maximum
household incomes, it is possible to determine the estimated level of subsidy
required to develop and sell the affordable units. With this subsidy estimate, an
amount of City assistance is recommended which effectively “leverages” the City’s
housing funds. Leveraging is defined as the ratio of City subsidy to subsidy
provided from other sources. The following chart estimates the required subsidy for
the affordable project and shows the recommended level of City assistance and
developer subsidy necessary for the project to be feasible.

The Subsidy Analysis shows estimated subsidy needs for two levels of homebuyer
income. Eighty percent (80%) of Area Median Income (AMI) is the maximum allowed
income and is used to determine the maximum allowed purchase price. However,
actual buyers will have incomes below 80% AMI, therefore, 70% AM1 is used to
illustrate the subsidy requirement based on the realistic actual average incomes of
buyers. Based on 70% of AM1 the recommended level of City assistance would provide
$1 of subsidy for each $4.70 from the developer or some other outside source (leverage
of 4.7: 1). Although this is a lower level of leveraging than rental projects such as Villa
Loma and Laurel Tree Apartments, staff believes it is acceptable for a homeownership
project where there are no “deep subsidy” funding programs available to assist in
production.

E. Form of Assistance
City as well as developer assistance would be provided in the form of funds which
are first used for construction and then for deferred (no payment for a period of
time) financing for the actual homebuyer. This subsidy financing is structured as
loan which is repaid to the City upon resale of the unit. Any real appreciation is
shared between the City and the homebuyer based on the contribution to the initial
purchase. No “windfall” comes to the subsidized buyer.
City assistance will be structured to provide for a reduction in the amount of
assistance if the proceeds from the sale of the affordable units exceeds their actual
cost, not including the land value.
F. Securitv
As indicated, the City takes a security interest in each property. Because the amount
of City assistance is only a portion of the total subsidy, the City will have a
significant “cushion” of equity protecting its actual cash loan.
G. Risks I
The two major types of risk in this for-sale development are construction risk (units
do not get built) and market risk (units do not sell). In addition, it is likely that any
City financial assistance will be subordinated to conventional bank financing. If a
problem did arise, the bank’s interest would come ahead of the City’s. Although the
City would be taking on some of the risk inherent with development, there are
several factors that mitigate these risks. First, the City’s financial involvement
would constitute a very small portion of the project, meaning that the other lenders
and developer will be motivated to insure successful completion. Second, in terms
of market risk, the City’s assistance will be fixed and additional subsidies required
to insure sale of all units will be the obligation of the developer.
V. AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
Prior to final map or issuance of building permits, the developer will be required to
enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City which binds the developer
to the specifics of the affordable housing project including, but not limited to the
affordable purchase price and household income limits. The Housing Commission
approved the drat Affordable Housing Agreement on September 11,1997. Execution of
the agreement is pending.
VI LOAN AGREEMENT
A draft of the Loan Agreement is attached for review by the Housing Commission. Staff
is requesting that the Housing Commission recommend approval of the agreement in
substantially the form presented, subject to final approval by the City Attorney.

VII. SUMMARY
It is the role of the Housing Commission to make recommendations to the City Council
based on several considerations with respect to affordable housing projects. These are:
The proposal’s effectiveness in serving the City’s needs and priorities as
expressed in the Housing Element of the General Plan and the HUD
Consolidated Plan.
The proposal’s consistency with the City’s affordable housing policies and
ordinances as expressed in the Housing Element, Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance, Density Bonus Ordinance, etc.
The proposal’s development and operating feasibility, emphasizing the
development team capacity, financing sources and the role of the City in
providing financial assistance or incentives.
Staff recognizes that affordable homeownership units of the size and type proposed are
costly in comparison to other affordable housing alternatives. The financial information
contained in the Proforma demonstrates the need for financial assistance to assist in the
development of this project. The project will meet an affordable housing need and is
consistent with City policies and ordinances on affordable housing.
The Affordable Housing Policy Team (staff) is recommending that the Housing
Commission approve a recommendation to the City Council to commit a total of $75,000
to the Calavera Hills Village L-l for-sale affordable housing project. The funding will be
provided from the City of Carlsbad’s Housing Trust Fund and will be provided to the
builder/ developer, Heritage Builders, Inc. The team (staff) is also requesting that the
Housing Commission review and recommend approval of the Loan Agreement in
substantially the form submitted subject to final approval by the City Attorney.

2. CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE L- 1 - Request for recommendation of approval to the Planning Commission of
the construction of five, for-sale, affordable four bedroom single family detached units and the payment of 25 of
the City’s in-lieu fee in order to satisfy the requirements of the Inclusionary housing ordinance for the
development of 35 residential units in Village L-l of the Calavera Hills Master Plan.
Craig Ruiz stated that this project was also previously before the Commission. The original project was to allow a higher density project, which included nine affordable townhomcs. In response to the concerns raised by the
surrounding property owners about the density issue, the project has been redesigned.
Mr. Ruiz stated that the project currently being presented provides for 35 single-family homes, five of which will bc
for-sale affordable units. The five homes will be similar in style to the market-rate units as far as architecture and
design. The project will consist of four bedroom units with 1,330 square feet of living space and two-car garages of
4.50 square feet. Mr. Ruiz explained the location of the project and showed how the affordable units are distributed
throughout the overall project.
Mr. Ruiz stated that this project is consistent with the City’s Affordable Housing Policies and Ordinances, in addition
to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. This project will be the second for-sale project in the City, and it is meeting an
unmet need in the City. These large four-bedroom units are quite desirable as affordable units according to Mr. Ruiz.
They will be affordable at a minimum of 80 percent of median income.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked if there were questions of Mr, Ruiz.
Commissioner Calverley asked if there will be restrictions on the developer as to whom they sell to, i.e., the family size
occupying the affordable units.
Mr. Ruiz responded that the City will not put any restrictions on the developer.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked if there are large families on waiting lists who would qualify for four-bedroom for-
sale homes.
Ms. Fountain responded that generally the City is in short supply of large units in the rental market. The City does not
carry any waiting lists for the for-sale market, however. She added that the rental assistance program is for people who
are 50 percent or below the median, SO they may not actually be able to qualify for a for-sale product.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked about extended families purchasing these units.
Mr. Ruiz responded that extended families are okay as long as they qualify on their combined incomes.
Vice Chairperson Wellman invited the applicant to speak.
Mr. Mike Howes, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday Avenue, Suite 120, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission
and introduced the property owner, Don Chuman, and the site designer, Lex Williman. He said that he is not aware of
any other four bedroom, affordable ownership units being proposed in this portion of Carlsbad (the northeast quadrant).
He added that this is an excellent location for four bedroom, affordable units because they are in walking distance from
an elementary school, a City park, a future commercial site, and a future junior high school site, with existing and
future public transportation. Mr. Howes stated that at this time it has not been determined if any financial substantial
subsidies will be required for this project.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked if there were any questions of the applicant.

put into the project so the City can reinvest the money in another project on a first-time home-buyer product. Ms. Fountain said that there will be restrictions on the property so that if the home is sold, the new buyer will know
what the requirements are. If the Property is sold, the City will be notified. Ms. Fountain added that 55 years is the
term of affordability.

3. DEVELOPER PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED RANCH0 CARRILLO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECT
Craig Ruiz informed the Commissioners that this item is an informational item only and there will be no request for
action by the Commission; however, this project is going to come before the Commission at a later date. This item is to
introduce the Commissioners to the development team. The developer of Ranch0 Carrillo, the architect for the
affordable project, and the non-profit developer are all present and will make a brief presentation, he said.
Mr. Ruiz gave the background of the project describing it as an approved Master Plan for over 1,800 units. This
project was previously before the Commission with affordable units in Villages E and F. Currently the affordable
project will be moving into Village B to be built in phases including multi-family units with a mixture of both
affordable units and potentially some market-rate units as well.
Vice Chairperson Wellman invited the development team to speak.
Mr. Chris Chambers, Continental Homes, 12636 High Bluff Drive, San Diego, addressed the Commission and said it
has been over four years since he was last before the Commission in connection with the approval of the Master Plan of
Ranch0 Carrillo. Mr. Chambers’was also before the Commission for the approval ofthe fist tentative maps in Rancho
Carrillo.
Mr. Chambers stated that this is the largest grading project that has been undertaken in Carlsbad since Aviara. He said
they will be moving about 9 million cubic yards of earth all within the boundaries of Ranch0 Carrillo, being about 80
percent done with the grading and all the infrastructure work.
When Ranch0 Carrillo first came before the Commission, it was comprised of four ownerships. Continental Homes
owned the south and eastern comers. UDC, Scripps, and an individual by the name of Don Woodward, later taken over
by Merrill Lynch, owned other parts of the project. When it came time to develop, Continental Homes purchased the
other parcels of the project. Having a single ownership gave Continental Homes an opportunity to re-evaluate the
planning efforts of Ranch0 Carrillo. Even before this time, the contributions of Ranch0 Carrillo to the City of Carlsbad
continued to escalate. Today the project has almost 300 acres of open space out of the original acreage of 650. The
land on-site approaches 40 percent of open space; and there is another 20 acres off-site that has been acquired.
Mr. Chambers said they have contributed Village G, which was at one time designated and allowed for 101 detached
dwelling units. Today it is 39 dwelling units. There is a plant species (wild onion plant) which will have the largest
population preserved in the County of San Diego, and there are extensive negotiations to preserve the eastern edge and
the middle part of the project as wildlife corridors of all manner of animals; but primarily on the eastern edge to

Commissioner Scarpelli asked the developer how he is going to make this project work.
Mr. Howes responded that it is not going to be easy--it’s going to be painful. He added that the site has been
previously graded and the number of utilities are already in. The adjacent street, Harwich, is in with full
improvements, and Edgeware has been graded in.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked about the price ofthe market-rate and affordable units.
Mr. Howes estimated the range to be between $220,000 to $225,000. He said he is aware of the large difference in cost between the market-rate units and the affordable units. He added that there is going to be quite a bit of subsidy for
the affordable units with a $35,000 to $40,000 negative cash flow on the affordable units.
Commissioner Scarpelli asked why the developer chose four bedroom over three bedroom units.
Mr. Howes responded that the idea W% compatibility with other homes in the project, which are all four bedroom
homes. He added that there is a need for four bedroom homes. *
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked if there will be much difference in the quality ofthe units and whether landscaping
will be included.
Mr. Howes responded that the units will be very similar in architecture and style. The affordable units will be a little
bit smaller, but they will fit right in. Mr. Howes said that the front yards will be landscaped.
Commissioner Rose asked about the amenities.
Mr. Howes responded that there is a common ret facility, half basketball court, and a tot lot in the center of the project
that will be accessible to all members--affordable and non affordable. In addition, there will be ocean views and be
within walking distance to Calavera Park.
Vice Chairperson Wellman opened the item for discussion among the Commission members.
Commissioner Calverley thanked the applicant for the completion ofthe package, wiEh its elevations and blue lines.
Commissioner Walker applauded the developer for having these units integrated the way they are.
Commissioners Latas and Scarpelii suggested the developer return to the Commission if they are in need of some type
of modest subsidy.
Ms. Fountain added that the prices of the other units are in the moderate income range for the size of units so this
project is actually a good mix of units in both the low and moderate mcome category, which the City has a need for as
well. The City does not require developers to do anything for the moderate income, but it is nice to see the mix come
in with this type of project, she said.
Vice Chairperson Wellman asked what happens to the affordability of the units when they are sold.
Mr. Howes responded that it is put in the CC&Rs that the unit has to be sold to another low-income household.
Ms. Fountain added that there are two options or ways the developer can market these homes. They can either choose
to continue the affordability by making sure that the next buyer qualifies and the unit is sold at an affordable price. Or,
if the home is sold at a non-affordable price or to a non-qualified person, the City recaptures the subsidy the developer

SUBJECT: Calavera Hills Village L-l Affordable Housing Subsidy
Dear Ms. Fountain:
Per our discussions with you and your staff, this letter formally requests a financial subsidy for the five affordable housing units within the Calavera Hills Village L-l project. These for-sale
units will be similar in style to the market rate units and will be developed concurrently with the
market rate units. The affordable units within the project will each have four bedrooms with
1,330 square feet of living space and two-car garages.
For the construction of each of these affordable housing units, we will be incurring a negative
cash flow between $40,000 and $50,000 per affordable unit. In light of the economic difficulties
posed by providing affordable units, we are requesting an affordable housing subsidy. During
our meetings, a subsidy of $15,000 for each unit was discussed. We are requesting this amount
due to the higher costs associated with providing affordable four bedroom ownership units for
lower income families in the northeast quadrant of Carlsbad.
We appreciate your support and consideration. +s

2. CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE L-l - Recommendation of approval to the City Council to provide $75,000 in
financial assistance from the City of Carlsbad’s Housing Trust Fund for the construction of five, for sale,
affordable four bedroom single family detached units in order to help satisfy the requirements of the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance for the development of 35 residential units in Village L-l of the Calavera
Hills Master Plan.
Craig Ruiz reminded the Commissioners that this project was before them in September of 1997. He said the project is
located in the Calavera Master Plan with a total of 3.5 units, five of which will be affordable for-sale units for families
earning 80 percent or less of the area median income. He added that the five affordable units are spread throughout the
development and will be developed concurrently with the market-rate units. Each unit will include 1,300 square feet of
living area with four bedrooms and two-car garages. At the September meeting, the Housing Commission
recommended approval of this project for the construction. At that meeting there was not a discussion of financial
assistance. Subsequent to that meeting, there was a transfer of the property and the property was sold to a home
builder. The new developer has prepared a detailed proforma, which was included in the Commissioners’ packet as
Attachment 5. Based on this profoma, the applicant has determined that financial assistance is necessary to help
develop the project.

Mr. Ruiz discussed the “Proforma Subsidy Analysis” that Staff provided in the Staff report (page 3), which summarizes
the detailed proforma. He said that typically the Housing Commission has reviewed rental projects, which have a
higher level of leverage than this project.
Mr. Ruiz said that Staff is recommending $15,000 per unit for a total of $75,000 for five units. He said that this may
seem high on a per-unit basis; but Staff feels there are extenuating circumstances that justify the cost. First, this is a
for-sale project--only the second for-sale project in the City. Second, these are four bedroom units, and there are few,
if any, affordable large for-sale units in the City; so these units will serve a very under-served segment of the City’s
population.
Chairperson Wellman asked if there were any questions of Staff.
Chairperson Wellman asked for confirmation that the subsidy from the City is in the form of a loan.
Mr. Ruiz responded affirmatively and said that the “gap” amount would be taken back against the property in the form
of a second trust deed. The buyer would not have to make any payment on it, but when they go to re-sell the property,
there will be no restrictions on who they can re-sell to, but the second deed would be repaid in full to the City plus the
City’s subsidy at that time, which would go into the Housing Trust Fund to be used for other housing projects. No
money would go to the developer, according to Mr. Ruiz. He said this is the same setup the City used with Sambi. The
developer would, however, get the full purchase price of the homes.
Chairperson Wellman invited the applicant to speak.
Mike Howes, Hoffman Planning and Associates, 2386 Faraday Avenue, Suite 120, Carlsbad, CA, addressed the Commission, and said that Mr. Ruiz did a very good job in summing up the project and the applicant’s request. He
stated that Phil Jones of Heritage Builders is available to answer questions about the proforma.
Commissioner Calverley asked why a developer would buy a project that does not “pencil.”
Mr. Howes responded that the applicant felt they could make it pencil.
Commissioner Calverley said that it is not logical to close an escrow on a project with a $15,000 negative cash flow on
five units. She is assuming that the negative cash flow does not exist.
Mr. Howes asked Mr. Jones to explain the cash flow issue.
Mr. Philip Jones, 4809 Dulin Road, Fallbrook, CA, addressed the Commission and said that the affordable houses do
not pencil, and said they will be making up the losses in the market-rate units.
Commissioner Calverley responded that prior to closing escrow part of the proforma would be knowing how much
they were going to make per unit and how much of a difference they had to make on the market-rate units in order to
make the affordable units pencil. She said she feels the applicant is before the Commission asking them for “gravy”;
that they have already done their numbers and know the project pencils as is with nothing coming from the City, or else
they would not have bought the project.
Mr. Jones responded that when they did their proformas they figured they could sell the affordable units for a littler
higher than what is on Mr. Ruiz’s proforma. He added that this is their first affordable housing project, and they did
not really understand all the rules that were applying to the affordable housing project. He said they assumed that they
-would be able to sell the houses for at least $145,000.
- .-
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 12,1998

Commissioner Calverley asked Mr. Jones where he got this number from.
Mr. Jones responded that this was the number he was told. He said that they are still trying to figure out who the
buyers are and how much they can afford. In reality, as Mr. Ruiz said, the buyer may not even be able to afford
$141,000. They may be able to afford $125,000 to $126,000, making the applicant’s losses increase even more than
Mr. Jones projected. Mr. Jones said that as a builder looking at the actual numbers and what it costs to build and what
the units can be sold for, there is actually an increase loss.
Chairperson Wellman asked if there were any follow-up questions of Staff.
Commissioner Walker asked about the developer and City subsidies being a second returning to the City after the sale
of the home, and about interest on the subsidies.
Mr. Ruiz responded that instead of interest the City does a shared equity. For example, he said that if the City and
developer contributions equal 25 percent of the total purchase, the City would take roughly 25 percent of the equity
.when the unit is sold.
Chairperson Wellman asked if the developers will ask for more money if it is difficult to find buyers who qualify for
the affordable units.
Mr. Ruiz responded that the developer would have to answer this question,
Ms. Fountain added that the developer can come back and ask but the Commission can also make it clear that this is all
they are willing to put into the project. If they do come back, the agreement will have to be amended and the Housing
Commission would have to approve the agreement if the developer wanted to ask for additional money.
Chairperson Welhnan asked if the applicant would like to address this issue.
Mr. Jones responded that at this time he assumes this is all they will be asking for. He said he has never been in this
position before where he has had to build affordable units and said they are in the position to take the $50,000 loss on
the affordable units. He said it depends on the kind of buyers they have. He is assuming that they will get a lot of
buyers that can come in and afford the homes at $140,000. If that’s the case, then it is not a problem. Mr. Jones said it
is difficult for him to say “absolutely, no way will I ever come back here.” He does not plan on it and hopes that the
market increases enough to make up the difference with the other homes. He hopes and assumes buyers will come in
that can fall within the qualifications of the program. The program, as he understands it, is a very tight program and it
is a little difficult to get a person to qualify with this program. He said they are determined to make this thing work and
will work really hard with Staff, the mortgage companies, and with the applicants of the homes to make it work.
Chairperson Wellman asked when the applicant will start the project.
Mr. Jones said they will file their final map in about two weeks, so they will probably start in July or August.
There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairperson Wellman declared the
public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members.
