Disc~ssion ens~ed on the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement between the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and Goldrich & Kest Associates for a senior citizen development. Robert Hirsch spoke at length s~bmit- ting in part that it is their recommendation that consideration be given to constr~cting two smaller units rather.than one say for 120 units or more; that HUD or the California Ho~sing Finance Agency would probably be more favorable to this type of facility. He cited an instance where HUD would not accept more than 50 ~nits in one given location; that it will ~ndoubtedly be difficult to locate a site large eno~gh for more than that number and that HUD wo~ld probably only consider the smaller number of ~nits ~nder Section 8 Subsidy Program .. that it wo~ld be pos- sib Ie to s~bmit a second application b~t it would be their recommenda- tion to focus on obtaining maximum funding the first time around. Incl~ding the land units would cost approximately $50,000 each to con- str~ct ... land cost is somewhere in the $10,000 per unit bracket and in Arcadia it will probably be a problem because of the higher density of the land .., that the most they co~ld probably obtain in f~nding would be 90% or about $45,000 ... perhaps less. Mr, Hirsch explained that the units wo~ld not be sold ... that the company manages their own units and explored in detail how the manage- ment fee is established by HUD. In response to questions Mr. Hirsch said in part that they wo~ld eventually record a covenant restricting the property to senior citizen ~se for a period of say 40 years that the City is entitled to be given a guarantee that when the loan is paid off it will remain for the same ~se. Steps necessary to commence the program were explained; following the execution of an agreement they would endeavor to.locate the land with the help of the Agency; the architects wo~ld then design a type of fa- cility; the Senior Citizen Committee would review the design and then the Agency.. if approved then the tons of paper work req~ired would be accomplished and s~bmitted to HUD and/or the California Ho~sing Fi- nance Agency.. there would then be a waiting period. If all goes well and the project is completed a Certified Public Accountant will examine their books, certify to his audit to ascertain whether or not they have spe n t more than the 90% loan. During these proceedings a replacement cost is also placed on the facility. The proposed agreement provides for the Agency to review the concept plans, the architect~ral design; the Agency and the developer have to -1- 10-14-80 EXECUTIVE SESS ION and RECONVENED HOTEL CONCEPT APPROVED ADJOURNMENT 25:0140 agree on the site and the developer would be required to put up a de- posit to guarantee faithful performance in an amount to be specified... it also would provide that if an adequate site is not located, or if the concept plans have not been prepared, or if a satisfactory Disposi- tion and Development Agreement has not been negotiated during the speci- fied period, the agreement would be terminated.
