The results from our negotations for Affordable Housing with Tim Sheehan ,Candance Schafer and Atty. Frank Zullo for the 20 North Water St.Development were fairly successful. As you know P & Z Workforce Regulations, which were adopted By P & Z, do mandate that the Workforce Housing can be built out side of the development site. Thanks to all for your cooperation. Our State Representative ~ill be attending the Norwalk Common Council, Planning Committee Thursday night 8/2/07 to voice our approval for the,said development.

Bests regards,

Bobby Burgess Chairman Ward B Democratic Committee

Bobby:

As we discussed this afternoon Tarragon the developer of 20 North Water Street has agreed to produce 17 units of affordable housing. Of the 17 units, 4 units will be on site (2 studios and 2 (1) bedrooms), seven one bedrooms will be located off-site at 50 Connecticut Avenue and the remaining six two bedroom units will be located in a multi-family zone within a reasonable distance from the 20 North Water Street location. The location of the six units must be identified to the Redevelopment Agency and approved, prior to Tarragon filing with Zoning for Site Plan Approval. I believe that this commitment on the part of the developer lives up to the spirit of the agreement that was struck last week. Unfortunately it came as a surprise that the 50 Connecticut Avenue site does not have any two bedroom units nor can the structure be reconfigured to feasibly accommodate the required two bedrooms units. I concur with your point of last week however that these two bedroom units are important components our affordable housing inventory and should not be substituted for one bedroom units. The developer has agreed to provide the two bedroom affordable units and site them in a reasonable location that is subject to Agency approval. Please let me know if you have any remaining questions or concerns that might need to be resolved before Thursday.

Collectively we have come a long way from what was presented to the Planning Committee in February. We have succeeded in moving the developer to provide 4 affordable units on-site, increase the number of two bedroom affordable units being created and increase the initial required number of affordable units by 30% while preserving the facade of the building which provides an invaluable sense of identity to the South Norwalk community and the proposed building itself.

Thanks

. Tim
