16. Flathead Builders Association Requestinteroff ice to: Lawrence Gallagher, Director Planning, Economic and Community Development from: Susan Moyer, Housing Manager Planning, Economic and Community Development subject: South Woodland Lot Sales Request date: June 14, 1996 Larry, attached is the formal request from the Flathead Builders Association to purchase two lots in the South Woodland subdivision. Some additional information follows: l . During preliminary discussion between staff and the home builders, it has been agreed that, if approved, a sign will be posted on the property indicating the g` project is a community effort involving FVCC, School District #5, the Flathead Builders Association and the City of Kalispell. This sign is to remain throughout the construction of both units. 2. Since this activity is part of School District 45's curriculum for the 1996 and 1997 school years, no wages will be paid to the students working on the project. As a result, there will be labor cost savings that will occur. We have proposed that the City share in both the labor cost savings and any profit in the actual sales price of the two homes. As the present time, their Board of Directors has agreed to a 50-50 split. Their portion of the profit will go into their community activity budget for future "community efforts" and the City's share will directly buy down the purchase price of the homes by two lower income families than could normally qualify for these properties. 4. The builders would like the second lot to be adjacent to the first, have a different floor plan assigned to it, be highly visible, and be located near the road so that the students don't have to drive too far into the site. The lot that meets all these requirements is Lot #17 which has a four bedroom home allocated to the site.
