Chair Soderberg asked if the covenants being removed are a condition of the mortgage being
satisfied. Community Development Coordinator Lupini answered that they are not, but since the
loan recipients are no longer occupying the home and proposed paying off their loan balance, the
covenants could be removed in addition to satisfying the mortgage.
Commissioner Larson asked if the covenants are tied to the mortgage or the land. HRA Manager
Barnes stated they are bound to the land.
Chair Soderberg asked if there had been any conversations with the property owners or the renter
about the income of the renter. Community Development Coordinator Lupini stated there had not
been, since the owners proposed paying off the balance of their loan.
Chair Soderberg said she would be more concerned to remove the covenants if they had ten years
until they expire, but since it is less than four years she would support staff’s recommendation.
Commissioner Larson asked if we knew how long the current lease is. Community Development
Coordinator Lupini stated we do not. Commissioner Larson also inquired whether we knew how
much the rent was for the unit. Community Development Coordinator Lupini stated we do not
know.
Chair Soderberg asked if we have done this in the past. HRA Manager Barnes stated that we have
removed approximately five covenants for various reasons in the recent past.
MOTION by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Huddleston, to adopt
Resolution 2020-08 removing Restrictive Covenants from the property at 13808 52nd Avenue
