Review and Inteqration of Comments from Public Forum:
· Phillip submitted minutes/notes from public meeting for discussion and review.
Editinq of Draft: HAC modified draft that was provided to the public. Phillip will edit and
send to the Town Board.
Preparation of Meetinq with the Town Board: HAC will meet with the Town Board on
Tuesday, July 28th at 10a.m. In addition to discussing affordable apartments, members
will discuss setting affordable sales and rental prices for 2009. Historically
recommendations have been for sales price 2.5 times the HUD Nassau/Suffolk median
income for a family of four. Rental prices are "Low Home" rates. John suggested that
prices should possibly be lower to reflect the Town's median income which is lower than
Nassau/Suffolk. He requested we try to get 2000 and more current data in making
recommendations. Yet all agreed that we will stay with existing formula with Town Board
meeting. Phillip also noted that while we are making affordable rental recommendations
and setting maximum rental prices, previously resolutions had cited "affordable housing
units in the AHD Zoning District, pursuant to Chapter 28030(D) of the Town Code". He will
speak with the Town Attorney for clarification.
Suffolk County Comprehensive Plan Housinq Data: Heather Lanza and Phillip are
collecting current data of affordable housing units in the Town and Village for SC Planning.
Next Meetinq Date: Wednesday, August 12th at 5:30 p.m. Supervisor's Conf. room.
Resiqnation of Don Leslie, Jr. With regrets, Don has resigned from the HAC.
Respectfully Submitted,
Phillip Beltz
