TELEPHONE (612) 559-280.0 DATE: January 20, 1978 MEMO TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Milt Dale SUBJECT: Metro Council Staff and Association of Metra Muncipallties AMM) Housing Workshop On January 12, 1978 staff attended a housing workshop sponsored by the Metro Council: staff and the AMM. The intent of the workshop was to sound out various staff people, ie City Managers, City Planners and HRA Directors, in the Metro area regarding:a workshop proposed for City Council members and other elected City off- icials on the topic of "What Municipalities Can Do to Reduce the Cost of Single Family Detached Homes. " Discussion centered on the various contributory factors that made single family detached housing so expensive. Then it focused in on what part municipal zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations played in.the overall cost. The workshop moderators wanted those present to examine ways their munici palities might modify their community's zoning ordinance and/or subdivision regul- ations to reduce land costs, utility service costs, etc. Then the moderators proposed to the workshop participants three ways the ANN recommends to resolve the problem: i. Allow smaller single family lots, ie 6,000_ t 8,000 square feet 2. Eliminate minimum house square footage+ 3. Eliminate requirement of a garage"Ibut provide for space for one on the lot) Workshop moderators explained that should municipalities not choose to make: ordinance changes, than the Minnesota State legislature would impose such changes anyway. The concern they expressed was that "unless you do it, they'll do it to you." a paraphrase and not a direct quote!) Staff takes some exception to this contention. Some observations I had and expressed to other workshop attendees: 1. Workshop moderators stressed the projected need for more single family detached homes in the next 10 year period. Tonder if its not more of a desire on the part of many people rather than a housing need. page 2 2. Should many moderateacrd lower ince families be natsiated" UO single family homes, would they be able to ifford all the "hidden" costs of home ownership? 3. Mith today's current need to conserve energy, the single family de- tached hone is not the best way to go. Also increased nobility, divorces and reduced family size would apparently dictate a greater aeqd for other kinds of housing. In closing. should HRA members find themselves in attendance at a Metro/AMM sponsored workshops attention should be paid to their original promises to see if they hold up.

In the funding: year 1977-78 the. Home Im- provement Grant Program was provided with $20,000. At this time it appears as if all of this money plus the $13,794 in the state program could be used up by the 9 pending applicants and the five applicants in process. Consequently the Housing Rehab Commity recommends to the HRA that its recommendation to the Council be for 30,00' to be spent on the dome Improvement Grant Program in the 1978-79 funding year. Furthermore it recommended that the income limits be Increased. from $6,500 genual gross adjustedincome to $7,15001 annual, gross adjusted income. The reason for the requested change in the income 1.1mit is to widen somewhat the scope of the programa. The thinking by the Rehab Committee members is that in the initial year or two at the program the very needy homeowners have been served and there now is an opportunity to assist homeowners in the modest income category.

Again I fill in the blanks and you and the tenant sign. 5. Security Deposit Information.. This would only apply where a new tenant applies and would rent from you. Incidentally present Fair Market Rents (the rent ceiling established by the federal government. for Hennepin County) are $202 and $244 for 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units respectively. It is my understanding your rents are 192 and $232. To those rents we must add a utility allowance of $8 (for 1 bedroom units) and $14 for (2 bedroom units) this would up the "rent" to $206 and $246 or slightly over the Fair Market rents. However the federal government does allow increasesof up to 10% over Fair Market Rents where Justifiable, i.e. when there are no other rental units in the City any lower! 3025 HARBOR LANE. PLYMOUTH.

PIYMOUTR Enclosed is the chart you requested showing our City's apartment units to Section 8 program according to allocation and by elevator and Ron elevator characteristics. Please notice in the last column of the chart labeled Total Units that the Jan. 39 1978 proposed program totals 47 Section 8 rentals units while we have been allocated 50 units. The difference between 47 units and 50 units occurs because of the .proposed increase in the number of two bedroom Ston-e1•derly units earlier rquested- on Dec. 9, 1977. I -am including a copy of that letter and a chart for your use. I trust this infermation is sufficient for your purpose. Sincerely, AM W.- - V Milt Dale, Plymouth NRA 3025 HARBOR LANE. PLYMOUTH.
