AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
TR Ridge Partners, LLC (the "Company")
Project Sienna, 1100 Clark Street, Evanston, Illinois
The Company submits this Affordable Housing Plan to set aside "affordable units" that
will be made available only to income -qualified buyers. Many aspects of the Affordable
Housing Plan are modeled after the City of Evanston single family affordable home
ownership program. This Affordable Housing Plan shall govern the sale and ownership
of certain affordable units in the Project.
The Affordable Units
The affordable units shall be indistinguishable from other units in the Project in terms of
the standard features and design. Since the one -bedroom units in the Project are
anticipated to represent almost two-thirds of the unit mix, and since smaller units tend to
be more affordable, approximately two-thirds of affordable units shall be studios and
one -bedroom units. The balance of the affordable units shall be two -bedroom units.
Within these parameters, affordable units shall include a balance of the standard
layouts of one -bedroom and two -bedroom units shown in the plans for the Project. •
Affordable units shall be dispersed throughout all buildings and not concentrated in any
one building or floor. Based on the proposed design, there shall be twelve (12)
affordable units.
To implement this Affordable Housing Plan, the Company shall develop a preliminary
list of the affordable units as the marketing of units in each phase of construction
commences and shall submit such list to the Community Development Department of
the City of Evanston. To retain the greatest flexibility in matching the needs of
individuals and households who qualify for affordable units, whenever a buyer is
otherwise income -qualified but desires to purchase a unit that has not been pre -
designated, the Company shall have the right to substitute another unit (of the same
bedroom count) as the originally designated unit (i.e., one -bedroom unit can be
substituted for a different one -bedroom unit) but the overall mix among one- and two -
bedroom units for the Project shall be maintained.
Income Restrictions For Buyers
Eligible buyers include only those individuals or households:
■ With a household income at or below 80% of the area median income level, as
adjusted for family size and determined by the City of Evanston Community Planning •
Department, based on the "Low Income Limit" (80% of median) that represents the
maximum allowable income for a family in order to be eligible for any program
14
• funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds where there are
income eligibility restrictions. The area for which income eligibility shall be
determined is the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area (Chicago MSA), including
Cook County. Current maximum income limits for 80% of area median income for
various family sizes are the following (as of February 2003):
CDBG Eligibility
Familv Size Low Income Limit (80% of area median income)
1 $39,550
2 $45,200
3 $50,850
4 $56,500
5 $61,000
6 $65,550
7 $70,050
8 $74,600
In order to determine income eligibility, the Company will obtain third -party verification of
all income sources (such as verification of employment letter) for all adult household
members age 18 and older, as well as benefits paid on behalf of minors in the
household. Income from assets will be included in annual income. The determination of
• maximum income for a household and the permissible household asset limit shall be
made in the same manner as the City of Evanston employs in determining eligibility for
the City's single family affordable home ownership program. In the event that the City
discontinues such program or otherwise makes eligibility modifications, the standards
used in classifying income inclusions and exclusions, calculating income from earnings
and benefits, calculating income from assets, classifying assets to be included and
excluded and in determining eligibility under this Affordable Housing Plan shall be
modeled on federal programs that rely on 80% of area median income levels, as
published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to
determine program eligibility, such as the Home Buyer Equity Fund Program
administered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
■ Full-time students will not be eligible to purchase the units.
■ The affordable unit shall not be rented, but must remain occupied by the income -
qualified buyer.
■ The Company may enter into an agreement with the City of Evanston or non-profit
housing organizations to provide for placement of qualified individuals or households
from among waiting lists. If required by the City, the Company shall conduct a lottery
as the method for selecting among qualified buyers.
• ■ The Company or an agent retained by the Company shall complete a worksheet (the
"Income Worksheet) that details the calculation used to arrive at the annual income.
15
The Company shall submit such worksheet to the Community Development •
Department of the City of Evanston before the closing of the sale of any unit that will
be set aside under this Affordable Housing Plan in order that the City may verify that
the program requirements are being met.
Affordable Unit Initial Sales Prices
The initial sales prices for the affordable units ("Affordable Unit Prices") shall be set by
the Company at amounts that are no higher than two-thirds (2/3rds) of the actual, base
list prices for the same or comparable units in the Project when such units are not
restricted for sale to income -qualified buyers. Base list prices shall be the prices
assigned by the Company before any modifications for upgrades or custom alternates
are added to the base price. When base prices among different units have factors that
cannot be exactly compared (i.e., unique, floor plans due to the ziggurat step -backs,
differences due to views, terrace features or other factors not exactly reproducible in the
comparison), the Company shall assign the same weight to such factors in determining
the underlying base price for an affordable unit as the Company shall regularly employ
for calculating all other base list prices in the Project.
Subsidv Provided As Second Mortaaae With Shared Appreciation
The difference between the actual, base price of an affordable unit and the Affordable
Unit Price for such unit shall become the principal amount of a loan made by the •
Company to the buyer, to be evidenced by a note and secured by a second mortgage
("Second Loan") that shall be subordinated to any first mortgage loan obtained by the
buyer for the purchase of the affordable unit (including any refinancing of the first
mortgage loan).
Under most circumstances, unless the Company elects to provide a higher loan
amount, the principal amount of the Second Loan will be one-third (1/3rd) of the base list
price for the affordable unit.
The Second Mortgage shall have a term of fifteen (15) years, with principal and interest
repayable in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) Prior to maturity, after any sale of the affordable unit to an income -qualified buyer
or other exempt transaction (i.e., certain transfers in the event of death or among
related parties), the Second Loan shall transfer to the new buyer and no principal
or interest shall be due upon such sale.
(II) Prior to maturity, if there is a sale to a non -income qualified buyer or other non-
exempt disposition, or at maturity, the principal shall be repaid and interest shall
be due in an amount equal to the greater of:
Stated Interest equal to three percent (3.0%) per annum; or •
r7.1
• Net Appreciation Interest equal to the Company's share [i.e., thirty-three
percent (33%)] of the unit's "Net Appreciation".
Net Appreciation shall be based on the net sale proceeds after sale of the unit to a non -
income qualified buyer or, in the case of the Second Loan maturing prior to the sale of
the unit, on an appraisal issued not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to
maturity.
The buyer's share of net appreciation shall be an increasing percentage correlated with
the number of years that occupancy of the unit by such qualifying individuals or
households is maintained. The buyer's share of appreciation shall be based on the
following scale, providing for an increase of 1/10th of 2/3rds of the net appreciation in
each of the first ten (10) years of ownership, and leveling out thereafter. This structure
discourages the unit from being sold out of the affordable housing program in the early
years of the program, while at the same time allowing qualified buyers to enjoy the long-
term financial advantages of home ownership. The Company's share of Net
Appreciation will remain fixed at 33%, so that if the unit is transferred to a non-exempt
buyer before year 10, then a portion of the appreciation that otherwise would have
accrued to the unit owner will instead be paid by the Company to the City to allow the
City to continue sponsoring affordable homes.
