ATTACHMENT D Bascom Village - St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County (SVDP) and the Housing & Community Services Agency of Lane County (HACSA): SVDP and HACSA requested funding for Bascom Village, a mixed townhome and flat-style development providing 101 rental units to those earning at or below 50% of area median income, including 5 units set aside for clients of St. Vincent de Paul’s Living Independently Following Treatment (LIFT) Program. Bascom Village includes 101 units and two community centers within 29 buildings constructed in two phases (53 units in phase I and 48 in phase II). The 29 buildings consist of 17 two-story townhome style duplexes, 8 three-story apartment buildings, 1 single story community center, 2 combination one- and two-story buildings, and 1 two-story community center that includes a classroom and 5 flats. The two story buildings along Park View Drive are similar in height to the existing single family homes in the Mountain Terrace subdivision, north of Park View Drive. The three story buildings on the south property line are designed to be within the maximum height of 35 feet. Included on site are two community centers, laundry facilities and several play areas. The first phase will be completed by SVDP, with the second developed by HACSA. Once complete, both phases will be managed by SVDP and include resident services delivered by SVDP. SVDP requested $346,000 in HOME funds, $249,593 in Eugene SDCs, and a $58,671 EWEB SDC grant for Phase I. HACSA requested $244,000 in HOME funds, $224,346 in Eugene SDCs, and a $53,136 EWEB SDC grant for Phase II. Each developer will also apply for Eugene’s 20-year Low-Income Rental Housing Property Tax Exemption. Total local funds requested: HOME - $590,000, Eugene SDC waivers - $473,939, EWEB SDC grant - $111,807. Phase I includes a large community center with a Head Start Classroom and residential units on the second floor, children’s play areas and covered bicycle storage. Phase II includes a smaller community meeting room, children’s play areas and additional covered bicycle storage. Total estimated project cost for both phases is approximately $17.5 million. SVDP and HACSA formed a team of local professionals to design and develop Bascom Village. The design team includes Bergsund DeLaney Architecture and Planning, P.C. and Meili construction. SVDP and HACSA take a great deal of care and attention in designing developments that will enhance existing neighborhoods. In addition, each has strong histories of dependable and solid property management. Both vigorously screen prospective tenants (more so than market rate owners).
