PlanningBoard | 2020-05-11 | 9 | President Curtis asked about financing for the project. Ms. Thoe explained why they provided a range for each block so depending on funding and needs they can determine what works. Kathleen Mertz, Housing Authority, gave a breakdown of housing authority's financing. Ms. Bascom then described Habitat for Humanity's financing, it's very different from Housing Authority's. It can be "horrible" and they are always looking for financial aid. President Curtis wanted clarification on the construction schedule and if they would have the proper finances to begin in 2021. Ms. Thoe said that the Housing Authority looks for projects that are "shovel" ready. They will be more prepared at each stage of the development. Board Member Ruiz discouraged the use of the fence facing the paseo, it's a type of segregation. If it's temporary that's fine but would like to see it removed. President Curtis opened public comments. Courtney Shepler sent an email to the Clerk regarding insufficient parking and a lack of communication on behalf of the Housing Authority with the Alameda Landing HOA. The email can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=8408262&GUID=4709FB3F-9D24 4BBE-85B5-575028E5OF1E President Curtis closed public comments.
