MINUTES Planning and zoning Cam Lission Meeting of 10/20/88 Page 3 Mr. Geuka staters that they have talked with the New Tribes Mission relative to sharing costs of the water and sewer lines run to service both developments. There are 465 planned units to be developed. They have decided to do the apartment complex first because the State has passed the sail program which is a state apartment incentive loan program, this is in effect, a second mortgage fund which provides money to leverage first mortgage financial contributions. Because of the availability of those funds and the fact that they are getting strong encourgement from the State, they have decided to do the apartment phase first. The second phase would probably be the elderly housing because these funds have already been included in the sale program. Mr. Jacoby stated that there is some land set aside outside of the fenced area for recreation and open space. Mr. Geuka stated that on the plan where it shows the detached, forsale units, this is where the apartment complex will actually go and the single family houses will be shifted over.
