At this point the City Attorney asked for citizen input. Michael Katrosh asked if there would be costs to the City for the development of the project, what their target age group was and if they were to be income restricted. City staff assured him that no City funds would be used for the project. Mr. Detkas from Miller-Valentine stated that it would be for ages 55 and older only, that it would be income based on 60% of the area median (basically Greene County). He said that Miller Valentine would retain ownership of the villas for a minimum of 15 years in order to receive tax credits to assist in the project costs. After 15 years they would be available to purchase. There would be one year leases and there also might be a lease to buy option. Kyle and Sue Burch asked if there were going to be low income housing. They also asked about the company’s history with upkeep and maintenance. Mr. Detkas explained that it would not be low income housing. He also said that upkeep and maintenance are very important to them with these projects. The Committee asked if the rents were going to be the same for all residents. Mr. Detkas said that residency is based on an average of the area’s median income and that determines what the market can bear and the maximum that can be charged. Mr. Detkas stated that he thought that the rent would be in the $500.00-$550.00 range. The City Attorney closed the public hearing. Chairman Nicholls called the meeting to order.
