Discussion on Laurel Depot and Spruce Grove Project 22 7/21/2020 Laurel Depot Affordable Housing Development Information & Background Development Team Laurel Depot will be co-developed by Andrew Chanania, North Fork Development and Gene Leuwer of GL Development. Formerly an employee of the Montana Department of Commerce, Andrew founded his consulting and development firm in 2017 and works with a range of local governments, non-profits, and for-profit entities to address community development needs in Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. Gene Leuwer was the Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Development Council (the Human Resources Development Corporation for Broadwater, Jefferson and Lewis and Clark Counties) from 1974 to January 2013, until he decided to focus on affordable housing development state-wide. NeighborWorks Montana, a state-wide non-profit whose mission is to, “strengthen our communities by providing education and financing that gives every Montanan the opportunity to live in a home where they can thrive” will also partner with us to facilitate a critical piece of gap financing. The Development Team have/are working on a number of comparable developments, and resumes and relevant information about those developments are attached.

We understand the City of Laurel’s Planning Department is in the middle of a major update to the City’s Growth Management Policy, which includes a significant discussion of growth priority areas and overall goals for Laurel’s future growth. Furthermore, we appreciate the fact that the areas to the west of Laurel city limits (including the property we are considering at 202 8th Ave) are a high priority for development due to their proximity to city services and established transportation corridors, and annexation and development of land in this area presents a viable option for growth. We are committed to working with the City to achieve development goals such as meeting City engineering and development standards, enabling future westward development through certain easements, and achieving the City’s annexation goals. As envisioned Laurel Depot, Laurel Depot will provide a new affordable housing resource for families by offering 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments with inviting grounds and green space as well as a play area for kids. If our budget allows, we intend to construct a community building complete with a community kitchen, meeting area, and restrooms. The chart on the following page shows the unit mix and rent limits we are considering at this time, but please note that this may change to some extent based on a final market study, construction costs, and the total amount of Housing Credit funding we decide to seek. 24 bedrooms # of units subsidy type AMI set aside util allow max rent charged rent 1 0 LIHTC 30% $65 $431 $366 1 1 LIHTC 40% $65 $575 $510 1 4 LIHTC 50% $65 $718 $653 1 1 LIHTC 60% $65 $862 $797 1 1 LIHTC 70% $65 $1,006 $797 1 1 LIHTC 80% $65 $1,150 $797 2 2 LIHTC 30% $88 $517 $429 2 2 LIHTC 40% $88 $690 $602 2 6 LIHTC 50% $88 $862 $774 2 1 LIHTC 60% $88 $1,035 $924 2 0 LIHTC 70% $88 $1,297 $924 2 1 LIHTC 80% $88 $1,380 $924 3 0 LIHTC 30% $110 $597 $487 3 0 LIHTC 40% $110 $797 $687 3 1 LIHTC 50% $110 $996 $886 3 1 LIHTC 60% $110 $1,195 $1,079 3 0 LIHTC 70% $110 $1,394 $1,079 3 2 LIHTC 80% $110 $1,594 $1,079 For reference, a chart showing a few data points illustrating income and household sizes for Yellowstone County follows: Household Size 30% of AMI 50% of AMI 80% of AMI 1 $16,110 $26,850 $42,960 2 $18,390 $30,650 $49,040 3 $20,700 $34,500 $55,200 25
