A
Of
course,
item
number
32
relates
to
the
barcroft
departments
at
11,
30,
south
george
mason
drive
part
a
is
approval
of
150
million
county
acquisition
fund
loan
to
an
affordable
housing
provider
to
help
finance
the
acquisition
of
barcroft
apartments
and
32.
Part
b
is
the
approval
of
a
short-term
financing
credit
agreement
between
the
county,
the
arlington
county,
industrial
development
authority
and
pnc
bank
to
be
used
to
finance
the
acquisition
and
installation
of
certain
land
facilities
and
equipment.
C
This
proposal
embodies
countless
years
and
hours
of
effort
and
fulfills
plans
and
directions
from
this
board
and
your
predecessor
boards.
We
have
funds
available
in
our
affordable
housing
investment
fund
to
meet
the
annual
debt
service,
while
longer
term
planning
takes
place
and
also
with
a
transaction
of
this
size.
The
details
really
do
matter.
The
last
two
months
involved
literally
every
day
and
night
work
by
a
talented
and
exceptionally
dedicated
staff
team,
and
I
wanted
to
offer
my
deep
appreciation
to
the
staff
and
vanessa
who
you'll
hear
in
a
moment.
D
Hi
good,
this
is
working.
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
That
was
quite
an
introduction.
So
hopefully
this
presentation
will
will
live
up
to
expectations,
so
I'm
ann
vanessa,
I'm
arlington
county's
housing,
director
and
I
will
be
walking
through
the
staff
recommendations
related
to
the
acquisition
proposal
for
barcroft
departments
and
commitment
to
long-term
affordability.
D
D
Barcraft
apartments
is
the
largest
market
rate,
affordable
or
marked
property
in
the
county.
A
mark
means
a
unit
that
is
affordable
to
low-income
households
as
a
result
of
current
market
pricing,
rather
than
local
state
or
federal
affordability
requirements
in
some
areas
of
the
region.
This
is
also
known,
as
naturally
occurring,
affordable,
housing
or
noaa.
D
To
give
some
context
for
this
project
and
its
location,
I'd
like
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
talk
about
the
columbia
pike,
neighborhoods
area
plan.
The
neighborhoods
area
plan,
which
was
adopted
in
july
of
2012,
represents
the
county's
adopted
policy,
guiding
preservation
and
revitalization
of
the
residential
neighborhoods
along
columbia.
Pike.
D
The
area
plan
is
implemented
through
the
2013
neighborhoods
forum
based
code,
also
known
as
appendix
b
to
the
arlington
county
zoning
ordinance.
While
many
portions
of
columbia
pike
are
eligible
for
redevelopment,
both
documents
strategically
identified.
Two
areas
considered
essential
for
preservation,
labeling
them
conservation
areas.
D
While
multiple
sites
met
the
criteria
for
qualifying
as
conservation
areas,
the
focus
of
the
area
plan
was
on
rental
properties,
which
were
at
higher
risk
of
redeveloping,
specifically
barcroft
apartments
and
fillmore
garden
apartments.
Barcroft
apartments

George
mason
drive
south
of
columbia
pike
in
the
western
half
of
the
corridor,
while
fillmore
garden
apartments
lie
just
east
of
walter
reed
drive
north
of
columbia.
D
D
The
preservation
and
renovation
of
the
barcroft
community
also
meets
many
goals
in
the
county's,
affordable,
housing
master
plan.
First,
it
will
prevent
the
loss
of
market
rate,
affordable
housing.
The
project
also
will
provide
family
size
committed,
affordable
or
calf
units,
including
612
two-bedroom
units
and
47
three-bedroom
units.
D
The
strategies
we'll
explore
to
help
with
the
preservation
of
the
barcroft
community
support
the
following
housing
arlington
initiatives
under
land
use
tools.
We
can
explore
tool
opportunities
within
the
columbia,
pike,
neighborhoods
area
plan
for
financial
tools.
We
propose
using
a
county
line
of
credit
which
I'll
explain
more
shortly
to
expand
available
county
resources.
D
The
project
would
also
leverage
new
private
sources
to
enable
affordable
housing
preservation
and
for
county
employee
housing.
The
barcroft
community
is
home
to
county
staff,
including
police
officers.
Preservation
of
this
neighborhood
will
provide
continually
stable
housing
for
segments
of
the
county's
workforce.
D
D
D
These
notices
were
translated
into
some
of
the
primary
languages
spoken
at
the
property,
including
spanish
amharic
and
mongolian
staff
also
has
communicated
with
bugatta
and
resident
advocacy
organizations.
So
we
can
stay
aware
of
any
resident
questions
and
concerns
once
the
acquisition
is
complete,
the
purchaser
will
continue
to
provide
outreach
and
information
to
residents
as
renovation
plans,
progress.
D
I've
shared
some
of
the
envision
policy
goals
for
the
project,
and
should
this
acquisition
move
forward,
significant
work
will
begin
following
the
sale
pending
further
property
condition
report
information.
We
anticipate
the
units
at
barcraft
apartments
may
benefit
from
renovation
from
renovation
or
redevelopment
and,
as
a
result,
a
master
financing
and
development
plan
will
be
created
in
2022
to
consider
rehab
and
redevelopment
options
for
the
site.
D
It
is
anticipated.
The
majority
of
the
affordable
units,
rehabbed
or
redeveloped,
will
use
low
income,
housing
tax
credits
and
this
plan
will
outline
financing
details
of
how
the
150
million
dollar
county
acquisition
loan
may
be
restructured.
As
various
rehab
and
redevelopment
projects
come
online,
the
master
financing
and
development
plan
will
be
finalized,
as
I
said,
in
2022
to
maximize
community
benefits,
while
also
ensuring
long-term
renovations
begin
as
quickly
as
possible.
D
D
To
support
this
acquisition,
the
purchaser
is
requesting
a
150
million
dollar
subordinate
loan
from
the
county.
This
equates
to
about
one
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars
per
unit,
which
is
less
than
the
twelve
year
average
county
loan
amount
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
per
unit
for
typical
third-party
market
market
acquisition.
Rehab
projects,
the
loan
term
would
be
for
35
years
and
carry
a
one
percent
interest
rate
for
the
first
five
years.
This
will
increase
to
two
and
a
half
percent
for
the
balance
of
the
loan
term.
D
D
The
initial
acquisition
financing
will
include
equity
from
the
borrower
and
associated
investors,
an
amazon
loan
and
the
county
acquisition
fund
loan.
The
borrower
is
anticipated
to
close
on
this
financing
by
the
end
of
december
2021
and
post
acquisition.
The
borrower
also
known
as
the
purchaser
will
secure
a
senior
loan
to
repay
a
portion
of
the
equity
used
to
support
the
acquisition.
D
The
total
acquisition
budget
also
includes
over
10
million
dollars
in
funds
for
repairs
that
may
be
needed
prior
to
any
future
rehab
or
redevelopment
projects.
Although
interim
repairs
will
be
made,
the
full
scope
of
renovation
and
redevelopment
work
will
be
addressed
in
future
tax
credit
financing
deals.
D
To
enable
a
county
loan
of
this
size
within
the
acquisition
time
frame,
county
staff
proposes
using
a
line
of
credit
with
pnc
bank
that
is
allowing
150
million
dollars
of
county
funding
to
be
available.
At
closing,
this
line
of
credit
will
be
an
outstanding
will
be
outstanding
for
a
maximum
of
five
years,
with
the
intention
of
refinancing
into
permanent
debt
at
or
before
expiration.
D
Once
a
permanent
development
plan
and
long-term
financing
strategy
are
finalized,
the
line
of
credit
will
be
a
subject
to
appropriation
debt
of
the
county
and
will
have
a
variable
interest
rate
in
fiscal
year.
22.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
debt
service
on
this
debt,
the
first
six
months
of
debt
service
for
interest
only
will
have
a
total
expenditure
of
850
000
in
fiscal
year.
D
23
debt
service
on
this
line
of
credit
is
projected
to
range
from
1.6
million
to
2
million,
depending
on
interest
rates
and
debt
service,
for
the
balance
of
the
line
of
credit
will
be
conservatively
budgeted
based
on
prevailing
interest
rates
interest.
Only
payments
on
the
county's
line
of
credit
debt
will
be
partially
offset
by
the
1.5
million
dollars
in
annual
interest
due
on
the
county
acquisition
fund
loan
and
any
difference
will
be
funded
from
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund
or
ahep.
D
Although
the
county
loan
loan
amount
is
not
anticipated
to
exceed
150
million
until
the
permanent
financing
plan
is
developed
and
implemented,
the
county
will
not
know
the
full
longer
term
financial
and
capital
impacts
as
shared
a
moment
ago.
The
county
term,
or
the
short-term
county
line
of
credit
will
be
refinanced
before
the
end
of
its
five-year
term,
based
on
very
preliminary
analysis,
which
assumes
a
reduction
in
the
county's
loan
as
tax
credit
or
other
financing
sources
are
identified
and
executed.
D
D
So,
with
these
fiscal
impacts
in
mind,
and
even
with
the
planning
and
housing
goals
achieved,
some
may
ask:
why
is
the
county
considering
such
an
expensive
project?
And
the
answer
is
the
residence
and
the
county's
equity
goals?
Housing
is
central
to
achieving
equity
in
arlington,
specifically
in
the
county's
equity
dashboard.
We
see
the
disparities
in
housing,
affordability
and
the
impacts
on
racial
groups
in
our
community.
D
The
resolution
includes
in
part,
direction
to
engage
and
collaborate
with
partners
to
enhance
county
efforts
and
commitment
to
fostering
equity
and
to
apply
a
racial
equity
lens
for
every
project
we
consider,
and
for
that
we
specifically
ask
the
questions
of
who
benefits
who's
burdened
who's
missing.
How
do
we
know
and
what
do
we
do
for
context
while
we
don't
yet
have
specific
demographic
data
for
barcroft
residents?
The
2018
american
community
survey
data
for
households
earning
up
to
60
percent
of
the
area.
D
D
With
this
context
in
mind,
we
start
by
asking
who
benefits
this
acquisition
project
would
benefit
the
current
families
that
are
living
at
the
property,
because
it
would
enable
them
to
continue
to
live
in
their
homes
at
an
affordable
rent
and
with
the
intention
for
future
renovation
or
redevelopment
of
the
barcraft
units.
This
would
ensure
quality
homes
are
being
secured
into
the
future.
D
On
the
other
hand,
if
this
project
does
not
move
forward
and
families
face
displacement,
the
low
and
moderate
income
families
at
barcroft
apartments
are
the
population
that
would
be
burdened
currently
only
11.7
percent
of
arlington's
rental
housing
stock
is
affordable
to
households,
earning
less
than
60
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income
limited
housing
choices
at
this
affordability
level
means
that
losing
existing
housing
stock
would
cause
uncertainty
for
residents
as
to
whether
they
could
even
stay
in
arlington.
D
As
for
who's
missing,
we
will
continue
to
evaluate
this
as
the
renovation
and
redevelopment
plans
are
finalized
in
order
to
ensure
we're
capturing
those
populations
that
may
typically
be
overlooked
in
the
process,
and
how
do
we
know
these
things?
We
know
as
a
result
of
our
data
collection
efforts
through
the
affordable
housing
master
plan,
annual
reviews
and
our
ongoing
work
as
part
of
housing
arlington.
D
Should
this
acquisition
move
forward,
the
purchaser
will
also
engage
with
residents
to
learn
more
about
the
households
living
at
the
property
now
and
lastly,
for
the
question:
what
do
we
do?
We
are
bringing
forward
this
project
as
a
first
step
towards
providing
committed,
affordable
housing
for
barcraft
residents
and
to
close
those
housing
opportunity
gaps.
D
In
summary,
ensuring
stable
and
affordable
housing
for
arlington's
residents
is
of
utmost
priority
to
the
county.
This
acquisition,
this
acquisition
will
help
preserve
the
affordability
of
the
largest,
affordable,
complex
in
arlington
and
over
time,
will
enable
an
opportunity
to
renovate
or
redevelop
these
units
to
ensure
stable
and
quality
homes
in
the
long
term.
D
E
E
Thank
you
so
much
next
slide.
Please.
E
So,
first
of
all,
my
name
is
jair
lynch,
president
ceo
of
gyro,
lynch
real
estate
partners.
We
are
the
applicant
for
this
project.
We
are
very
excited
to
be
here
tonight
and
we
think
we
are
the
precipice
of
really
creating
something
extraordinary
at
the
barcroft
apartments.
We
will
take
you
through
a
brief
presentation
and
then
I'll
be
available
for
questions
we'll
start
with
who
we
are
observations
and
opportunities,
and
then
our
commitment
is
consistent
with
the
county's
commitment
to
affordable
housing
at
this
location.
E
E
E
E
E
Our
core
principles
related
to
housing
will
be
in
full
effect.
At
barcroft
we
orient
our
interactions
with
residents,
not
tenants
to
be
positive.
We
make
sure
that
a
home
is
the
launching
pad
for
economic
mobility.
Much
of
what
I've
heard
from
the
previous
presentation
is
aligned
with
that
next
slide.
Please.
E
E
E
I
was
walking
with
a
architect
that
we
often
utilize
who
was
from
mumbai,
and
he
and
I
were
walking
through
the
through
the
neighborhood,
and
I
I
was,
as
as
a
son
of
an
immigrant
from
colombia,
heard
a
lot
of
spanish
and
said
hello
to
a
lot
of
people,
and
he
is
an
immigrant
from
mumbai
heard
hindi,
bengali
and
dragati.
If
I
said
it
properly,
we
were
immediately
struck
by
the
by
the
multicultural
nature
of
the
of
the
community,
and
we
think
that
that
is
the
first
thing
we'll
try
to
celebrate.
E
We
also
were
struck
by
the
fact
that
there
was
a
lack
of
amenities
and
common
space,
no
pool,
no
tot
lots,
nothing
for
children,
insufficient
bike
storage,
and
we
recognized
that
the
property
had
been
built
in
phases
over
many
many
years,
but
we
want
to
create
places
in
which
people
can
gather
we
want
to.
We
want
to
bring
amenities
in
which
people
could
enjoy.
We
also
want
to
create
a
sense
of
pride
in
the
community
for
that
we'll
spill
out
to
the
schools
and
the
businesses
on
columbia.
Pike
next
slide,
please.
E
E
We
also
need
to
preserve
and
restore
and
elevate
the
long-standing
neighborhood
with
contemporary
spaces
and
amenities
that
honor
the
past
and
build
for
the
future,
but
the
most
important
thing
there'll
be
no.
No
displacement
next
slide,
please
so
the
immediate
opportunities,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
celebrate
the
multicultural
community
that
exists
at
barcroft,
we're
going
to
introduce
new
property
management,
we're
going
to
introduce
new
resident
services.
E
Next
slide,
please
the
long-term
opportunities
as
we
we
will
work
on
this.
For
for
at
least
a
decade,
we
will
make
sure
that
there
will
be
improvements,
but
all
the
residents
will
remain
they'll,
be
new
amenities
and
we'll
create
landing
zones
for
non-profits
and
other
organizations
to
engage
with
the
residents.
E
E
Soon
after
we
purchased
a
mixed-use
mixed
income
property
that
is
the
center
of
tacoma
neighborhood,
with
neighborhood
serving
retail,
including
a
busboys
and
poets,
but
because
we
listened
to
the
community.
We
also
knew
that
there
was
a
need
for
affordable
housing
that
served
seniors
and
we're
now
under
construction
of
that.
That
is
an
example
of
how
we
work
in
the
same
neighborhood.
Over
and
over
again,
the
current
residents
are
our
priority.
They
will
not
be
displaced
and
they'll
be
part
of
the
planning
process
going
forward.
E
We
understand
this
is
a
big
commitment
for
the
county
and
we're
ready
to
stand
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
you
for
the
next
decade
to
preserve
this
important
community
while
building
for
the
future.
Thank
you
for
your
for
my
resilient
team.
I
I
cannot
end
without
saying
a
big
shout
out
to
all
of
them
who
worked
tirelessly
over
the
last
60
days,
but
we
still
have
energy.
We
have
energy
to
close
and
we
have
energy
to
to
see
this
project
forward
and
we
appreciate
your
support.
B
Thank
you,
mr
lynch,
I'll
note
that
I
believe
if
we
have
questions
mrs
pewell's
here
with
amazon,
but
we
will
note
also
that
we
have
our
advisory
group
chairs,
I
believe
eric
berkey.
I
think
I
saw-
and
I
think
mr
tim
are
available.
Eric
berkey
is
our
housing
commission,
chair
and
david
tim
is
our
tenant
landlord
chair,
mr
kushner.
Are
there
any
public
speakers
on
this
item.
F
Mr
chair
yeah,
I'm
here
the
the
planning
commission
hasn't
acted
on
this
or
been
briefed,
but
of
course
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
to
the
extent
that
I'm
able
to.
B
Thanks
very
much,
mr,
we
appreciate
it
now
to
speakers.
Mr
kushner
of.
G
Okay,
I'm
andre
clement,
I'm
from
westover
welcome
members
of
the
board
and
the
county
manager.
The
barcraft
deal
is
amazing
for
its
lack
of
transparency.
G
G
You
don't
need
to.
Evidently
you
don't
need
to
know
the
assessed
value
of
the
property
or
even
the
purchase
price.
Nor
do
residents
need
to
know
the
cost
of
improvements
to
the
property.
All
you
need
to
know.
According
to
a
flyer,
the
county
has
distributed
is
that
1300
market
rate
units
will
be
kept
affordable
for
99
years
and
no
one
will
be
evicted
since
the
project
comports
with
the
county's
housing
goals.
There
is
no
need
to
perform
a
fiscal
impact
analysis
justifying
the
expense
to
county
taxpayers.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair
members
of
the
county
board,
so
for
the
record,
daniel
weir.
I
want
to
disclaim
that
I
wear
a
couple
of
hats
that
are
adjacent
to
this
project.
I'm
the
incoming
chair
of
the
planning,
commissioner
and
the
vice
president
of
the
barcroft
school
and
civic
league,
and
the
only
reason
I'm
mentioning
that
is
so
that
the
record
can
reflect
that.
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
neither
of
those
entities
right
now,
so
that
set
in
my
individual
capacity.
F
I
think
that
this
is
quite
possibly
one
of
the
deals
of
the
century.
For
for
arlington,
it
is
a
fantastic
opportunity
to
take
a
complete
and
holistic
and
comprehensive
look
at
one
of
the
areas
upon
which
the
entirety
of
the
neighborhood
form-based
code
and
commercial
form-based
code
turns
in
its
success
or
failure.
F
I
I
just
I
can't
say
enough
good
things
about
about
what
we've
learned
about
this
project.
So
far,
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
Let's
get
the
deal
closed
and
let's
get
to
work.
That's
it
that's
the
comment.
Thank
you
have
a
good
one.
H
H
H
H
The
county
has
done
all
of
that.
Here
of
note,
the
project
will
provide
a
significant
number
of
badly
needed
family
sized
units,
and
we
have
learned
particularly
from
our
experience
at
the
serrano,
how
very
much
in
need
of
those
units
we
are
speaking
of
the
serrano
and
turning
to
the
tenant
protections
here,
we're
glad
to
see
those.
We
have
learned
that
they
are
absolutely
critical
and
we
urge
the
county
to
monitor
developments
as
this
process
unfolds
and
ensure
that
those
tenant
protections
indeed
are
implemented.
I
No,
no
relation
hello.
My
name
is
jane
green.
I
am
here
to
applaud
the
county
board
and
all
of
the
county
staff
members
and
the
private
sector
staff
members
who
have
involved
in
this
incredible
project
coming
together
on
a
project,
but
proposals
coming
together
so
quickly.
I
can't
even
imagine
what
was
going
on
behind
the
scenes,
as
some
of
us
in
the
housing
advocacy
community
had
heard
that
this
sale
was
pending
and
had
you
know,
we're
really
concerned
about
what
the
future
would
hold
for
the
property
and,
most
importantly,
for
the
residents
there.
I
So
to
see
this
as
the
hopeful
first
step
in
a
forward
moving
process
are
so
pleased.
I
think
the
highlight
of
this
is
the
decision
to
prioritize
our
neighbors,
who
are
living
at
barcroft
currently
and
those
who
are
make,
because
they
are
part
of
what
makes
arlington
a
diverse
and
vibrant
community
so
emphasizing
that
there
will
be
no
displacement,
that
rent
will
be
stabilized
for
the
first
year
and
then
grow
up
grow
three
percent
annually,
god,
if
only
my
first
rent,
was
only
three
percent.
I
I
would
be
very
happy,
so
I
think
the
60
ami
up
to
60
ami
is
really
promising
and
look
forward
to
ways
that
we
can
expand
to
have
a
portion
of
that
be
for
for
even
lower,
and
I
just
look
forward
to
the
public
engagement
process
around
the
master,
financing
and
development
plan,
which
will
be
really
exciting.
I
It
seems
like
from
the
presentation
here
we
have
an
excellent
partner
in
this
that
has
a
great
reputation
and
so
there's
a
great
opportunity
to
maximize
what
this
property
can
be
for
both
the
current
residents,
the
future
residents
and
all
of
arlington.
I
appreciated
that
the
housing
director
said
that
there
will
be
trade-offs.
This
is,
money
doesn't
grow
on
trees.
We
have
to
be
honest
about
that,
but
I
can't
imagine
there
would
be
anything
that
would
be
worth
this
trade-off.
So
thank
you.
So
much
and
good
luck.
J
J
Indeed,
when
we
were
first
arrived
in
arlington
county
and
we're
looking
for
a
place
to
live
the
diversity,
the
racial
ethnic
diversity
of
south
arlington
was
particularly
meaningful
to
us
and
for
the
24
intervening
years,
we've
been
certainly
blessed
to
have
this
to
be
living
in
part
of
that
community
ourselves,
specifically
the
barcroft
community,
the
subject
of
this
project.
I
applaud
it.
J
It's
it's
wonderful
and
speaking
from
my
experience
of
these
barcroft
residents
as
my
neighbors
great
neighbors,
good
people,
and
I
just
applaud
that
they
will
have
the
opportunity
to
continue
living
in
my
community.
Thank
you.
B
B
L
Good
evening,
everyone
county
board
sheriff
du
ferrante
category
members
and
county
manager.
That's
the
lutheran
in
the
midst
of
everything
that
the
community
has
gone
through,
and
people
here
in
arlington,
there's
good
news
specifically
for
the
barker
of
the
residents
displacement
at
this
time
would
have
been
detrimental
catastrophic.
L
I
applaud
the
county
for
the
work
that
to
preserve
this
community
and
the
property.
Thank
god.
This
did
not
result
in
another
arnold
valley,
for
those
who
are
familiar
with
that,
where
rush
decisions
were
made-
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
as
bugatti
do
not
approve
of
you-
know
the
behind-the-scenes
types
of
deals.
I
don't
think
that
the
circumstances
will
repeat
themselves,
and
this
will
be
you
know
we
wouldn't
want
it
to
be
set.
L
A
percent
this
instance
resulted
in
is
resulting
in
the
preservation
of
something
similar
to
buckingham
gardens
right.
L
However,
in
that
case,
the
deal
was
was
open
with
an
rfp
and
resident
participation
on
the
front
end
and
through
the
planning
process,
not
at
the
back
end,
and
I
can't
stress
enough-
the
importance
of
having
the
residents
take
part
of
the
decision
making.
So
for
this
project,
our
barcraft
to
be
successful,
the
new
owner
needs
to
ramp
up
communication
with
the
community,
including
the
community,
in
the
decision
making.
L
It
is
key
and
essential
and
very
important,
and
there
needs
to
be
a
total
and
complete
survey
done
of
existing
tenants
as
of
right
now
in
december
2021
to
include
rent
family
size,
ethnic,
racial
background
income
etc.
All
the
needs
in
the
community
many
residents
can
afford
to
pay
the
high
rents
and
have
chosen
to
live
a
barcroft,
but
also
there
may
be
overcrowding,
and
so
there
needs
to
be
an
ironclad
agreement
that
nobody
will
be
evicted
because
of
overcrowding.
L
Eventually,
relocation
plant
will
be
needed
and
you
know
we
need
to
think
about.
Who
will
do
that?
Who
will
manage
the
property
as
well?
Will
they
accept
new
tenants
when
there's
vacancies
and
what
guarantees
there'll
be
and
what
criteria
will
be
for
hiring
a
management
company?
L
The
new
owner
seems
to
be
very
neighbor
friendly,
but
want
to
ensure
it
and
urge
the
county
to
ensure
that
there's
quality
renovations
and
quality
management
that
is
respectful
of
residents.
As
you
know,
we've
experienced
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
You
know,
so
this
is
very
important
that
there
is
good
customer
service
good
service
to
residents
as
well.
So
with
that,
that's
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
B
M
Hi
good
evening,
pardon
apologies
for
my
tardiness.
The
sid
fed
meeting
is
now
at
the
same
time
as
your
meeting,
so
I
came
to
just
briefly
add
my
support
to
the
decision
to
provide
this
loan
on
the
property.
I
think
the
logistics
of
how
this
is
executed
will
be
important
and
look
forward
to
engaging
with
you
all
on
that.
M
But
for
the
time
being
from
what
I
understand,
the
immediacy
of
executing
this
deal
is
paramount,
and
I
want
you
all
to
know
that
people
from
all
ranges
of
the
county
from
fiscal
conservatives,
to
you,
know
people
that
are
extremely
into
the
affordable
housing
advocacy
world
that
I'm
I
like
to
affiliate
myself
with,
have
spoken
to
me
privately
in
support
of
this
deal.
M
M
Guarantee
for
affordability
will
be
interesting
to
play
out,
but
I
hope
that
there
are
some
sort
of
I
don't
want
to
call
them
clawbacks,
but
there
is
a
plan
to
ensure
that
that
longevity
is
held,
because
that
can
be
touchy
with
you
know,
a
certain
type
of
buyer.
So
all
that
to
say
thank
you
for
figuring
this
out.
M
I
know
a
lot
of
people
were
very
nervous
about
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
because,
as
a
buy
right
development,
this
was
not
a
guaranteed
outcome
and
so
for
all
the
staff
that
helped
make
this
happen
and
for
all
of
your
leadership
on
the
board.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you.
So
that's
all
thanks.
B
N
This
is
a
major
upsizing
of
the
unaffordable
affordable
housing
deals.
The
county
board
has
approved
over
the
past
several
years
as
part
of
the
county
board's
decades-long
addiction
to
new
urbanism,
also
known
as
suburban
renewal,
also
known
as
infill.
Elitist
growth
for
the
sake
of
growth,
gentrification
renovated,
barcroft
apartments
would
largely
be
tax
force,
housing
for
amazon
employees,
low-wage
employees
who
work
on
the
pike
could
not
afford
to
live
in
renovated.
Barcroft
60
of
ami
in
2021
amounts
to
three
dollars
and
37
dollars
per
hour,
37
dollars
per
hour.
N
The
workforce
has
already
been
gentrified
out
of
the
pipe
corridor
via
the
farm-based
code
and
so
have
essential
amenities
which
are
being
replaced
by
boutique,
retail
and
expensive
personal
services.
So
significantly
more
vehicles
would
use
the
pike,
so
their
owners
could
commute
to
actually
affordable
housing
from
places
of
of
employment.
Far
from
the
pike,
even
more
pike
residents
would
drive
to
the
route
7
corridor
in
fairfax,
county
for
essential
products
and
services.
N
This
is
what
we
get
from
40
years
of
one-party
government,
where
plutocrat
elitists
who
govern
us,
mr
de
ferrante,
and
their
media
facilitators
and
their
corporate
and
non-profit
cronies,
live
in
upscale,
suburban
enclaves
and
hugely
profit
from
making
every
older
middle-class
neighborhood
in
arlington
a
redevelopment
opportunity.
A
redevelopment
opportunity,
new
urbanism
is
nothing
but
urban
renewal.
Gentrification
of
urban
neighborhoods
during
the
1960s
exported
to
older
neighborhoods
between
1990
and
today,
back
to
you.
O
Thank
you
good
evening.
I
am
martha
bosman
and
I
am
here
tonight
as
the
interim
executive
director
for
the
alliance
for
housing
solutions
to
say.
Thank
you
for
your
vision.
Congratulations
on
all
the
work
so
far
and
the
work
to
come
and
since
aahs
advocates
for
educates
and
advocates
for
affordable
housing
really
excited
to
see
this
happening.
Thank
you
so
much
for
making
it
happen.
O
We've
heard
about
all
the
protections
that
are
going
to
be
taken
and
put
in
place
for
residents,
and
we
appreciate
that
very
much
and
it's
just
a
thrilling
opportunity.
So
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
and
we
look
forward
to
being
a
part
in
whatever
way,
in
the
engagement
of
all
the
various
communities
and
stakeholders,
as
the
long
range
is
planned
here
and
as
the
short
range
happens.
P
Good
evening
mr
chair
vice
chair
members
of
the
board
and
to
county
manager,
I
had
to
change
up
my
notes
because
I
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
here
tonight
about
the
future
of
barcroft,
and
you
know
the
naacp
only
plays
a
small
role
in
some
of
the
things
we
do
here
in
the
community,
but
housing
as
you're
daily
aware
of
is
one
of
them
and
as
we
look
and
study
housing
conditions
and
a
host
of
other
things,
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
displacement
will
not
occur
with
to
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents
in
our
community.
P
But
I
am
a
bit
concerned
as
a
leader
that
the
public
policy
decision
making
process
was
kind
of
made
or
made
public
24
48
hours
prior
to
tonight,
and
that
gives
a
lot
of
leaders,
perhaps
some
pause.
But
I
also
understand
the
sensitivity
surrounding
the
decision-making
process.
P
There's
two
things
and
I
had
to
shorten
up
this
speech
a
little
bit
my
comments,
because
I
did
hear
some
good
things
today
and
I
spoke
with
anna
earlier.
So,
thank
you
and
you're
a
great
partner,
there's
a
few
things
that
naacp
wants
to
know
would
like
to
know.
Would
you
the
county
commit
that
the
arlington
relocation
guidelines
and
access
to
the
tenant
assistant
fund
be
used
to
assist
tenants
during
any
future
redevelopment?
P
And
the
next
thing
we
need
to
know
and
and
numbers
are
important
that
is
important.
You
know
we
have
about
1300
units
over
there
right
now
right,
but
we
also
know
of
those
1300
units
you're
talking
about
perhaps
three
four
thousand
actual
people
right.
Some
are
kind
of
doubled
up
in
some
of
these
houses,
so
we
need
to.
P
We
would
like
to
know
the
hard
number,
the
real
number
of
who
these
individuals
are
in
and
around
in
bar
crawl,
particularly
so
because
that's
important
for
us
to
monitor
and
I'll
just
I'll
just
say
this.
You
know
I've
been
to
arlington
since
2009
and
and
the
numbers
don't
lie
y'all,
you
know
arlington,
the
demographics
at
least.
Have
we've
experienced
tremendous
demographic
transformation
over
the
years?
P
This
right
here
is
going
to
be
a
challenge.
The
naacp
will
be
here
as
a
partner
to
help
you
along
along
the
way,
but
I
just
hope
and
pray.
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
we're
able
to
retain
these
current
residents
in
in
these
projects,
because
you
know,
people
that
come
here
to
arlington
want
to
come
here
and
call
it
home,
and
we
need
to
do
everything
in
our
power
to
help
aid
in
the
system
along
the
way.
So
with
that
again,
my
remarks
are
quite
short
tonight.
P
Perhaps
I
should
have
called
in
on
teams,
but
I
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
here.
I
know
it's
difficult.
Some
of
us
knew
about
this
decision.
What
was
going
on
a
couple
weeks
ago,
but
sometimes
you
have
to
let
the
process
run
its
course
and
we
look
forward
again
to
the
engagement
and
if
you
need
the
naacp
for
anything,
we're
here
to
support
you.
So
thank
you.
Q
Good
evening
my
name
is
john.
B
Q
Q
Instead
of
displacing
with
new
development,
we've
actually
added
over
500
new,
affordable
units
in
new
projects,
which
is
pretty
remarkable,
there's
also
about
200
that
are
being
preserved
before
this
deal
came
along.
But
in
all
of
these
we're
wondering
what's
going
to
happen
when
barcroft
decides
to
redevelop.
Q
What
are
we
going
to
do
we
heard
about
arnold
valley
earlier
tonight?
We
don't
want
to
repeat
that
experience
this.
This
development
is
twice
as
big
as
arnold
valley,
so
it's
twice
as
important
one
of
the
core
values
of
our
organization
and
everybody
on
the
pike
has
been.
We
want
to
keep
our
neighbors
in
the
neighborhood,
it's
really
simple,
but
that's
what
a
neighborhood
is
about
the
neighbors
and
we
want
people
to
stay.
Q
One
of
our
favorite
books
is
living
diversity,
which
is
the
photo
collection
of
the
dike
pike
documentary
project,
and
it's
really
important
because
the
idea
is.
We
want
that
book
to
be
about
what
the
pike
is
like,
not
what
it
used
to
be
like
right
and
now,
with
this
action,
that's
going
to
be
happening,
they're
still
going
to
be
changed,
but
the
biggest
part
of
this
change
is
not
going
to
happen
and
our
residents
are
going
to
remain
in
the
same
place
now.
A
lot
of
this
is
through
the
form
based
code.
Q
The
original
one
didn't
cover
residential
properties,
so
no
one
would
be
displaced.
The
neighborhood's
plan
was
built
exactly
for
this
issue
and
the
neighborhoods
plan,
as
I'm
sure
the
board
is
aware,
allows
for
redevelopment
that
will
help
make
this
fee.
This
transaction,
the
whole
transaction
economically
feasible
and
that's
one
of
the
the
legacies
of
the
planning
process
that
we've
been
through
going
forward
tonight
is
really
we
celebrate
the
opportunity
to
get
to
start
with
the
county.
Helping
with
this
acquisition.
Q
We
get
to
start
the
real
planning
process
on
exactly
where
the
building
is
going
to
be.
What
are
they
going
to
look
like
how's,
the
conservation
area
going
to
work,
and
as
part
of
that,
and
the
first
step
that
I
probably
should
have
taken
earlier.
Mr
lynch
welcome
to
the
neighborhood,
we're
really
glad
you're
here,
and
we're
really
glad
for
everything
that
the
county
has
done,
that
the
county
staff
has
done
that
amazon
is
doing
by
contributing
to
this,
and
that
everyone
is
doing
to
make
this
work
going
forward.
Q
B
Thank
you,
mr
snyder,
with
that
this
is
the
discussion
is
now
with
the
board
colleagues,
a
number
of
areas,
I
think,
will
do
at
least
one
perhaps
two
rounds
of
questions
on
this.
B
B
So
I
think
that
this
question
is
probably
from
miss
vanessa
and
mr
mr
schwartz,
but
also
there'll,
be
a
question
I
think,
probably
from
miss
core
as
well,
and
perhaps
mr
lynch
too,
but
I'll
start
with
with
with
miss
vanessa
and
mr
mr
schwartz,
it
can
turn
concerns
the
protections
that
we've
thought
about
and
conceptualized
on
making
sure
that
we're
at
the
start
we
have,
as
I
understand
it,
we
have
some
knowledge
of
of
these
units,
but
there
is
much
more
that
needs
to
be
done
to
figure
out
the
condition
of
the
1334
units.
B
So
I
believe
it's
page
27,
there's
a
couple
of
protections
that
are
put
into
this
is
of
the
the
county
acquisition
fund
loan
agreement
right
in
that
area.
There's
a
there's,
some
protections
with
respect
to
on-site
inspections,
and
I
wondered
if
you
could
speak
probably
for
you
to
start
miss
vanessa,
to
the
protections
to
make
sure
that
the
conditions
we
put
into
the
these
documents
protections
for
the
conditions
of
the
units
and
there
may
be
other
provisions,
but
probably
at
the
conceptual
level.
B
First,
can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
what
we've
done
to
as
we
learn
more
about
the
units
to
make
sure
that
the
county's
investment
is
protected
so
that
we're
that
we're
we're
taking
care
of
our
residents
as
the
interiors
of
the
units
before
the
development
occurs?.
D
Sure,
yes,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that,
so
we
are
committed
not
only
a
bar
crop,
but
really
all
of
our
projects
to
making
sure
that
residents
are
afforded
quality
and
dignified
housing,
and
so
what
will
happen
following
closing
when
we
have
a
better
idea
of
what
the
unit
conditions
are,
we
will
be
working
very
closely
with
the
new
owner
to
see
if
there
are
any
immediate
needs
that
need
to
be
addressed.
B
Great
thank
you
and
maybe
I'll,
ask
and
I'm
sure,
mrs
crystal
just
one
more
or
one
or
two
more
follow-ups
and
then
to
you
on
this
and
colleagues.
If
you
want
to
jump
in,
I
guess
it
would
be
to
our
county
attorney
first
or
mr
schwartz.
It's
sort
of
have
I
tracked
to
the
right
provision
in
chapter
in
in
page
27.
Is
that
on-site
inspections?
The
way
I
read
it?
That's
perhaps
one
of
the
stronger
protections
that
we
have
with
respect
to
to
tenant
conditions.
B
R
There
are
several
provisions
that
talk
about
the
onsite
condition.
Inspections
is
one
of
them,
but
we're
also
holding
the
a
new
owner
to
certain
standards.
R
That's
in
505,
relating
to
property
condition
in
the
loan
document.
It
requires
normal
and
routine
maintenance.
It
requires
adherence
to
chapter
29
of
the
housing
standards
ordinance.
It
requires
a
huge
adherence
to
the
maintenance
code
and
also
to
the
housing
quality
standards
of
section
8.,
and
so
I
don't
know
how
I
would
characterize
as
far
as
which
one
is
stronger,
but
I
will
say
that
there
are
numerous
provisions
in
here
that
talk
about
the
condition
of
the
property.
R
In
our
attempt
to
make
sure,
as
miss
vanessa
said,
the
residents
are
are
taken
care
of.
In
that
way,.
C
Perhaps
mrs
vanessa
wants
to
go
into
further
detail,
but
you
did
make
reference.
There
was
reference
in
the
documents
too
needing
approval
for
a
tenant
relocation
plan
that
comes
through
that
would
come
through
me
and
also
we're
working
with
and
miss
vanessa
could
talk
a
little
bit
or
maybe
mr
lynch,
about
the
information
right
now
in
the
process
of
getting
a
census
done
as
to
actually
who
is
there
and
what
the
units
are
like,
but
that
might
be
better.
Coming
from
mr
lynch.
E
I
think
it's.
This
is
a
great
question
and
we're
very
pleased
with
the
work
that
we've
done
with
the
county
in
terms
of
negotiating
not
only
the
terms,
but
some
of
these
protections.
These
protections
are
supported
by,
like
we've
indicated
over
10
million
dollars
for
immediate
repairs,
and
that
is
that
is
part
of
the
business
deal.
E
There's
also
vacancy
at
the
property
like
there
isn't
any,
and
we
will
utilize
that
vacancy
to
make
sure
if
there's
any
any
units
that
are
substandard,
that
will
immediately
be
able
to
move
a
family
to
another
unit
on
on
property
or
on
site.
So
we
will
utilize
vacancy
as
a
means
to
be
able
to
to
take
care
of
any
immediate
issues
as
well
as
use
vacancy
through
the
comprehensive
renovations
when
they
happen
in
the
phases
coming
in
the
coming
years.
D
The
only
other
thing
that
I'll
add
is
that
we
have
had
conversations
already
with
mr
lynch
and
his
team
about
any
these
future
phase
projects
that
we're
referencing,
that
they
would
be
abiding
by
the
county's
approved,
tenant
relocation,
guidelines
and
so
and
the
process
that
go
along.
That
goes
along
with
that,
and
so
we
will
be.
D
You
know
working
closely
with
them
to
ensure
that
they
are
following
those
guidelines
that
you
all
have
approved
and
again
going
through
the
process
that
we
would
expect,
which
does
include
review
by
our
tenant,
landlord,
commission
and
ultimately
sign
off
by
mr
schwartz
and
and
me
as
well
so
just
wanted
to.
Let
let
folks
know
that
too.
B
Thanks
to
each
of
you
start
with
miss
crystal
and
we'll
colleagues
certainly
join
in
well.
S
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I'm
so
glad
that
line
of
inquiry
could
tease
out
a
couple
of
what
I
think
are
really
important
conditions
right.
The
10
million
dollars
included
as
part
of
the
acquisition,
as
well
as
the
currently
vacant
units.
I
think
for
for
those
of
us
who
are
very
concerned
about
this
state
of
these.
I
have
been
in
the
habit
of
calling
them
post-war
apartments.
S
It
sounds
like
some
of
them
were
constructed
during
war,
even
so,
perhaps
even
a
couple
years
older
than
we
had
thought
so
so
recognizing
that
there
are
some
kind
of
infrastructure
available
to
to
help
support
tenants,
as
maybe
necessary
repairs
are
done
on
their
units.
I
think,
is
really
reassuring.
One
of
the
other
lenses
through
which
I'm
looking
at
this
potential,
the
the
the
magnitude
of
the
need
that
may
arise
once
god
willing,
the
sale
of
the
of
the
property
and
transfer
to
the
new
owner
is
complete
thinking
about.
S
I
think
it
was
teed
up
and
a
couple
of
our
speakers.
Mr
reyes,
for
example,
talked
about
the
overcrowding
of
the
units
which
we're
aware
of,
and
I
wondered
miss
vanity.
It
might
make
sense
to
start
with
you.
I
also
think
we
maybe
had
some
representatives
of
dhs
on
the
line
with
us
as
well.
I
know
you
all
have
worked
very
closely
together
in
context
of
the
toronto
and
and
and
really
just
the
pandemic
in
general,
to
think
about.
S
The
kind
of
interplay
of
eviction
prevention
and
human
services
needs,
as
well
as
housing
quality.
Is
there
anything
else
that
you
would
add
to
to
round
out
that
picture,
to
give
some
confidence
that
for
the
tenants
who
who
may
take
some
reassurance
of
knowing
that
their
rent
will
not
go
up,
but
maybe
you're
concerned
about
a
crowding
situation,
or
you
know
whether
they'll
be
taken
care
of
when
the
the
sort
of
more
attention
is
brought
to
the
current
condition
of
the
units.
D
D
We
have
a
sense
of
some
situations
that
may
be
going
on,
but
we
don't
really
know
for
sure,
and
so
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
we
really
do
need
more
information
about
the
residents
who
are
living
at
the
property
now
and
we'll
be
working
very
closely,
of
course,
with
the
new
owner.
We
also
have
a
number
of
wonderful
resident
advocates
that
work
very
closely
with
a
lot
of
the
residents
in
that
community
already.
T
Thanks
sam,
yes,
so
we
know
currently
that
there
are
33
housing
grant
clients
at
barcroft.
We
don't
have
any
psh
or
housing
choice,
voucher,
clients
there.
But
that
being
said,
we
are
providing
millions
of
dollars
of
assistance
to
residents
in
need
who
are
not
able
to
pay
their
rent,
and
so
we
are
committed
to
continuing
to
do
so
for
any
and
all
residents
who
need
assistance
and
we
will.
We
will
continue
to
do
so.
T
They
can
call
703
228
1300
and
we
will
help
them
pay
their
rents
and,
if
they're,
having
any
issues
with
doing
so,
then
we
will
work
with
them
on
on
those
wrap
around
supports.
U
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think
I'll
just
pursue
this
a
little
bit.
I
I
think
a
lot
of
people
listening
are
wondering
they
don't
know
who's
in
there.
Why
don't
they
and
I
think,
we're
probably
going
to
find
some
difficult
conditions
in
some
of
these
apartments,
and
I
think
people
are
going
to
say
hi
to
arlington
county.
Let
that
happen.
U
So
I
think
there's
some
very
good
legal
reasons
why
that
might
be
the
case,
and
I
just
wonder
if,
if
I
don't
know
if
miss
vanessa
or
mrs
core
might
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
restrictions
we
have
on
going
into
barcode
or
we
have
had
going
into
barcroft
apartments
and
why
it
is,
we
don't
have
such
a
good
idea
of.
What's
there
exactly
or
maybe
it's,
mr
lynch,
I
don't
know,
I
know
it's
going
to
change.
That's
my
understanding.
E
But
well,
there's
a
couple
things
to
consider
when
we
buy
assets
across
across
the
the
region.
You'll
have
varying
levels
of
information
that
may
come
from
from
private
owners
who
don't
have
any
public
dollars
or
don't
have
any
existing
government
programs
that
are
embedded
in
the
property.
If
this
was
an
existing
litec
property,
the
files
would
would
be
very
deep
for
each
resident
because
they'd
have
not
only
incoming
income
qualification
but
also
annual
certifications.
E
This
property
does
not
have
that
because
it
has
none
of
these
government
programs,
and
so
what
we
need
to
do,
as
we
walk
into
the
new
phase,
is
to
earn
the
trust
of
the
residents,
be
able
to
get
information
from
them
and
be
able
to
understand
their
not
only
their
economics
status,
but
also
the
the
amount
of
residents
that
are
in
in
each
unit.
E
It's
it's
a
private
transaction
that
has
been
run
by
a
private
company
and
therefore
there's
less
information
than
you'd
find
if
you
were
buying
a
a
an
asset
that
had
all
these
other
government
programs
as
part
of
it.
U
U
We
didn't
have
the
right
to
go
in
and
look
at
the
units
we
didn't,
and
so
we've
really
had
very
little
ability
to
say
anything
much
at
all
about
what
goes
there,
because
it's
private
property
and
now
that
we're
having
this
relationship
with
you,
mr
lynch,
we
will
have
a
lot
more
right
and
I
think
we
also
have
someone
who
wants
to
make
it
work,
which
is
a
huge
difference
and
really
appreciate
that.
U
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
get
that
out
there,
because
I
think
there
may
be
some
misunderstanding
in
the
community
about
what
we
can
and
can't
do
and
actually
how
good
this
is
going
to
be
for
us
so
and
the
residents
for
the
residents.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
miss
carvey.
It
is
privately
owned,
and
so
that
is
part.
That
is
the
rationale
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
community
understands
and
we
have
steps
that
are
coming
in
the
viewing
in
the
ensuing
days
and
weeks.
Mr
caron
tonight
then,
mr
mr
dorsey,
if
that
can
work.
V
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
presentations
today
and
for
the
very
very
hard
work
we
will
get
back
to.
Thank
you
again
about
that.
I
think
we
cannot.
Thank
you
enough
for
this.
I
have
a
question
that
is
related
to
the
protections
and
to
the
transition
regime
over
the
next
year.
V
So
part
of
the
idea
is
that
there
are
rents
that
are
under
60
ami
right
now.
V
The
idea
is
that,
with
a
present
deal,
these
rents
will
be
frozen
for
the
next
year,
so
they
won't
be
any
increases
and
then,
after
that,
the
reds
that
will
have
to
increase
towards
the
sixty
percent
ami
if
they
are
today
below
that
they
will
only
be
capped
in
their
increase
every
year.
Three
percent
is
that
correct.
They
understand
it
correct.
D
V
Okay
and
in
the
meanwhile
the
the
support,
the
rental
support,
and
you
know
the
support
that
we
have
been
and
we
continue
to
provide
as
eviction
protection,
etc.
It
will
be
funded
from
the
funds
that
we
have
already
earmarked
for
that
and
are
already
in
place.
Correct.
B
W
Oh,
that's
right.
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
the
line
of
conversation
that
ms
garvey
had.
You
know
in
just
a
plea,
more
less
so
than
a
question,
given
the
the
fact
that
for
80
years,
barcroft
has
been
operated
as
a
private
concern,
without
involvement
with
government
programs
for
its
tenants,
there
is
not
going
to
be
for
anybody
who
lives
there,
any
sort
of
experience
or
history
with
people
telling
you
I'm
from
the
government,
I'm
here
to
help.
W
So
given
what
may
be
a
reluctance
within
a
community
that
may
be
dealing
with
immigration,
status
and
other
issues,
given
that
the
prospective
buyer
has
not
actually
taken
title
to
the
property.
Yet
is
that
right,
mr
lynch,
so
has
not
had
an
opportunity
to
fully
exercise
due
diligence
as
to
the
condition
of
the
property
and
to
establish
any
sort
of
plan,
let
alone
long-term,
but
certainly
not
even
an
immediate
plan
for
exactly
what
he
is
going
to
do.
W
I
just
issue
a
plea
for
everyone
to
let
him
do
do
his
work
before
we
all
descend
with
our
demands,
desires
and
requests
for
doing
this.
That
or
the
other
thing
he's
going
to
do
it
right
he's
going
to
need
to
be
able
to
take
stock
and
we're
going
to
need
to
be
able
to
support
him
on
that,
and
the
best
we
can
all
do
is
to
give
a
reasonable
amount
of
time
for
that
to
occur.
And
so
I
guess
I
will
back
into
a
question.
E
Well,
first
of
all,
the
the
suggestions
today
about
taking
good
good
surveys
of
existing
suggestions
of
understanding
the
community.
All
are
right
in
line
with
what
we're
doing
so,
we're
very
happy
to
see
that
there's
alignment
you're
absolutely
right,
though
we
will
have
to
be
careful
and
we
will
have
to
introduce
ourselves
and,
as
you
know,
walking
into
someone's
home.
E
The
first
thing
you
need
to
do
is
bear
a
gift,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
the
rent
is
going
to
be
frozen
in
22
to,
hopefully
that
opens
up
a
conversation
we're
going
to
have
to
meet
formally
and
informally
with
each
one
of
the
residents.
So
it
is
going
to
take
months
as
we
go
through
many
of
the
leases.
I
think
believe
this
is
public.
Knowledge
is
on
a
month-to-month
lease
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
transitions
are
smooth
and
people
are
very
comfortable
with
those
transitions.
E
But
it's
going
to
take
several
months,
and
so
we
have
indicated
with
the
county
that
we
would
work
through
this
master,
finance
and
development
plan
over
the
years
over
the
next
12
months
through
the
end
of
22,
and
that's
primarily
because
we
have
to
spend
several
months
gain
that
trust,
get
information
and
then
be
able
to
create
a
plan
in
which
we
can
protect
the
existing
residents.
That
are
there
all.
W
B
Thank
you
and
that
sort
of
moves
us
to
what
we
can
say
about
without
rushing
too
much.
But
my
impression
is
both
there's
description
of
ten
years
as
in
in
the
in
this
staff
plan
and
wonder
I
guess
it's
for
mr
lynch,
but
also
a
little
bit
from
this
miss
vanessa
with
a
property
this
size,
you
would
anticipate
phases
to
the
development
and
don't
know
if
you
in
your
experience.
B
You
know
if
there's
any
it's
premature,
probably
to
say
how
many
phases
I
also
know,
there's
a
commercial
component,
that's
separately
financed.
Are
you
able
to
speak
at
all
to
kind
of
the
process
that
you've
gone
through
in
other
jurisdictions
and
your
development,
team's
kind
of
approach
to
developing
those
phases
and
then
probably
I'll,
ask
you
miss
vanessa
a
little
bit
about
you
know
or
mr
schwartz,
about
the
the
plan,
cphd
planning
and-
and
you
know
that
that
would
take
if
you
were
able
to
describe
a
little
bit
of
of
our
process
that
will
apply.
B
E
Well,
first,
this
is
a
a
single
apartment
community,
but,
as
indicated
earlier,
it
was
built
in
many
different
phases.
I
believe
there
are
nine
sections
currently
described
by
the
current
owner.
There
are
approximately
eight
to
ten
phases
that
were
built,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
found
remarkable
is
that
if
they
put
this
to
get
this
community
together
through
eight
or
nine
or
ten
phases,
we
may
be
able
to
pull
it
apart
and
renovate
in
in
the
same
fashion.
E
One
of
the
interesting
characteristics
that
I've
noticed
when
I've
walked
out
there
is
that
there
are
11
fairly
large
chimneys
that
are
on
the
property.
I
find
them
very
intriguing.
They
could
be
a
great
wayfinding
opportunity,
but
they
represent
the
11
boilers
and
boiler
rooms
that
are
on
the
property.
So,
where
you've
gone
into
other
complexes-
and
you
want
to
turn
the
water
off
or
turn
the
heat
off
and
you
affect
everyone,
we
may
be
isolating
those
effects
to
a
specific
section
or
phase.
E
That
will
be
our
natural
tendency
to
try
to
replicate
that.
We
also
have
the
existing
neighborhood
plan
and
others
that
are
concentrated
up
near
columbia.
Pike,
those
do
split
some
of
the
sections,
and
so
we'll
have
to
be
very
careful
about
where
how
we
break
those
down.
But
we
do
see
that
there's
probably
five
to
seven
different
phases
to
be
able
to
achieve
the
the
scale.
The
responsiveness
and
also
balance
the
number
of
vacant
units
that
are
on
the
property,
so
that
we
can
have
relocation
happen
on
site.
B
Thank
you,
that's
very
helpful
and
I
guess
to
miss
vanessa,
mr
schwartz.
It's
a
little
bit
of
I
mean
to
some
extent
in
the
documents
it's
laid
out
that
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
some
people
could
think
would
just
mean
keeping
it
exactly
the
same
which
preservation
from
19
for
units
from
1939
to
53
is
eventually
they'll
run
out.
So
can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
development
process
and-
and
I
guess
each
of
those
phases
would
be
an
opportunity
where
cphd
would
engage
as
with
the
housing
division.
D
Sure,
yes,
and
so
so,
I
think
a
couple
of
things
to
comment
on
there,
as
mr
lynch
described,
we
do
have
the
neighborhoods
area
plan
and
conservation
areas
that
are
already
in
effect
on
the
burkhoff
community,
already
exists
within
those
and
so
just
to
speak.
First
to
that
I
think
the
this
multi,
or
this
master
financing
and
development
plan
that
we
mentioned.
D
We
at
the
start,
really
want
to
work
within
the
planning
that
the
community
spent
years
and
years
already
being
thoughtful
about
and
thinking
about,
and
so
I
think
we
want
to
try
to
work
primarily
within
that
existing
context.
And
then,
if
we
were
to
deviate
from
that,
because
there's
a
really
good
opportunity
to
do
something
different.
There
would
be,
of
course,
extensive
community
engagement
around
anything
that
deviates
from
that
so
again,
just
to
just
to
set
the
stage
there
on
that
piece
and
then
in
terms
of
how
we
might
phase
things
over
time.
D
You
know
again,
as
mr
lynch
said,
and
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
you
know
we
really
do
want
to
be
thoughtful
about
how
we
bring
different
units
on
at
different
points.
In
time.
We've
talked
about
also:
we've
talked
about
renovation
and
we've
talked
about
redevelopment
within
the
conservation
areas
of
the
site
which
encompasses
about
1100
units,
which
is
the
bulk
of
the
units
that
are
at
the
property.
D
We
really
want
to
lead
with
an
opportunity
and
an
eye
to
rehab
and
preservation
so
trying
to
preserve
as
to
the
extent
we
can
what's
there,
unless
there
really
is
just
no
feasible
way
to
do
that.
So
we
want
to
keep
options
open,
but
again
we
want
to
lead
with.
How
can
we
try
to
preserve
those
those
portions
of
the
site
and
then,
meanwhile,
up
at
the
northern
parts
of
the
parcel
or
of
the
site
closer
to
the
columbia
pike?
Frontage?
D
Now
again,
all
of
this
would
need
to
go
through
this
process
that
we
want
to
do
next
year
and
we
need
to
know
more
about
the
unit
conditions
and
the
building
conditions
the
residents
living
there,
all
of
those
different
things
we've
been
talking
about,
but
again
just
to
kind
of
lay
the
context
you
know
we
do
want
to
be
mindful
of
what
the
plan
has.
The
neighborhoods
area
plan
is
already
laid
out
for
the
property
and
see
what
we
can
do
within
that
in
terms
of
opportunities.
B
C
The
only
thing
I
wanted
to
mention-
and
I
can't
put
a
defen
definite
time
frame
on
it
as
you're
aware
we're
doing
improvements
along
columbia,
pike
with
a
multimodal
project
and
the
actually
the
area
right
in
front
of
columbia
that
columbia
pike
area
over
the
next
few
years.
Depending
on
how
we
are
working
on
getting
easements,
there
will
be
significant
county
investment
along
that
part
of
the
pike
to
make
that
similar
to
the
other
parts
of
the
pike
we've
worked
on.
C
S
You
this
is
just
the
the
the
planning
opportunity
is
tremendously
exciting.
I
I
really
associate
myself
with
that,
and
I
think
mr
snyder's
comments
too
really
indicated
for
those
who
who
helped
author
and
put
fingerprints
on
the
foreign
base
code
and
then
ultimately,
the
neighborhoods
plan,
and
for
those
of
us
who
are
just
fortunate
enough
to
live
in
the
neighborhood,
the
opportunity
to
really
think
comprehensively,
not
only
with
mr
lynch's
vision
of
that
mix
of
amenities
and
programming
that
really
supports
housing
as
a
launch
pad
to
opportunity.
S
I
think,
as
you
described,
but
also
as
our
manager
was
indicating,
that
these
significant
investments
in
public
works
that
the
county
is
making
to
say
nothing
of
everything
that
we
have
learned
in
the
years
since
from
biophilic
design
and
and
and
so
on.
So
I'm
trying
to
that
is
the
the
sort
of
thing
we
get
incredibly
excited
about,
and
it
is
very
much
in
the
future,
but
I
I
can't
help
it
but
be
be
thrilled
to
talk
about
it.
S
One
of
the
things
I
did
want
to
ask
sort
of
similar
right.
We've
talked
about
the
next
step.
If,
if
the
sale
is
completed,
being
both
the
the
master
planning
effort,
but
also
the
the
master
finance
restructure
or
the
the
master
financing
deal-
and
I
wondered
you
know-
certainly
like
planning
so
many
of
those
specifics
would
be
to
be
understood
in
the
future.
S
But
I
do
think
I
mean
for
most
of
us
we're
probably
most
familiar
when
it
comes
to
loans
with
affordable
housing
with
sort
of
their
residual,
see
residual
receipts
model
right.
We
make
a
loan
from
our
ahif,
we
get
paid
back
out
of
residual
receipts
and-
and
you
were
indicating
as
vanity
in
your
presentation
about
you-
know
these.
The
the
estimates
that
we're
making
about
our
debt
service
assume
some
restructuring
of
debt
recognizing
how
much
is
still
to
be
determined.
Can
you
just
help
us
understand
a
little
more?
S
D
Yes,
and
so
I
think,
really
one
of
the
opportunities
that
that
may
arise
through
these.
These
future
deals
is
as
we're
able
to
to
introduce
additional
sources
into
the
projects.
So,
for
instance,
one
of
the
sources
that
we'll
be
able
to
introduce
as
renovation
and
redevelopment
are
both
considered
is
tax
credits.
That's
something
that's
a
tool
that
we
use
on
many
of
our
projects
in
arlington.
D
The
difference
I
think
in
this
situation
is
that
if,
if
and
when
tax
credit
equity
comes
in
to
help
with
some
of
the
phasing
and
some
of
the
redevelopment
and
renovation
of
the
projects,
typically
in
most
of
our
other
projects,
the
county
then
comes
in
as
the
sole
gap
financer
on
the
back
end.
So
all
the
other
sources
are
considered
and
then
the
county
fund
loan
is
the
final
source
in
this
particular
situation.
D
We
are
very
fortunate
that
amazon
has
come
in
to
share
that
gap,
and
so
in
a
typical
deal
where
the
county
might
have
to
put
in
the
full
amount
of
that
gap,
we
would,
in
this
situation,
be
have
an
opportunity
to
share
that
gap
with
another
financing
partner.
That
would
also
be
subordinate,
and
so
that
I
think,
is
probably
the
most
tremendous
opportunity,
but
also
too,
in
addition
to
tax
credits.
D
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
next
year
during
this
planning
process
is
really
look
at
the
full
breadth
of
opportunities
for
resources
that
could
be
brought
into
the
project
not
just
for
affordable
housing,
but
really
for
all
the
different
aspects
of
the
parcel,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
explore
with
mr
lynch,
and
I
see
him
nodding.
So
that's
a
good
sign
is,
as
there
are
other
potentially
infrastructure
funds
or
other
resources
that
really
benefit
the
whole
of
the
site.
D
The
whole
of
the
parcel
could
there
be
offsets
to
some
of
the
costs
on
the
affordable
pieces
as
well,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
think
really
creatively
again.
Think
outside
of
our
affordable
housing
box,
I'll,
be
leaning
a
lot
on
our
other
partners
within
the
county
and
outside
of
the
county,
so
that
we're
looking
beyond
our
usual
tools
to
really
see
what
else
is
out
there.
D
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
vanessa
and
I
think
we're
getting
towards
the
place
of
a
motion
we'll
go
to
mr
karen
tonis
and
then
mr
dorsey,
we
do
still
have.
I
appreciate
the
patience
of
everyone
in
the
room.
Some
of
these
items
feel
it
wise
to
just
spell
out
a
little
bit
in
our
discussion,
even
though
many
many
will
be
aware
of
this,
but
mr
carantonis.
V
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
we'll
try
to
be
brief.
It's
it's
just
a
it's,
not
a
small
detail.
It's
outside
the
contract.
I
mean
the
the
financing
part
it's
about
the
little
commercial
strip,
where
you
know
very
cherished
that
retail
neighborhood
retail
is
resigned.
You
know
it
is
also
affordable
retail.
E
The
the
commercial
components
are
very
interesting
at
this
at
this
location.
There's
actually
2500
linear
feet
along
columbia,
pike
with
five
signalized
intersections,
and
while
you
have
certain
components
that
that
help
a
healthy
neighborhood
like
a
grocery
store
across
the
street
primary
care,
there's
also
plenty
of
gems
of
small
local
retail
that
are
along
the
pike.
And
we've
worked
in
corridors
like
the
u
street
corridor
in
d.c
the
h
street
corridor
and
we've
always
found
that
the
the
local
gems
are
the
really
the
vibrancy
that
comes
with
this
with
with
any
retail
programming.
E
And
so
we
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Thinking
about
the
mix
between
local
programming
and
national.
And
so
we
are
very
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
the
existing,
the
existing
retailers
and
other
retailers
that
are
incubating
somewhere
out
there
on
the
pike
that
we
can
bring
them
to
this
location,
because
we
think
there's
a
great
opportunity
to
create
a
tremendous
node
or
a
hub
along
the
pike
as
we'll
be
able
to
develop
at
least
two
corners
on
the
main
intersection.
E
And
I
think
that
in
itself
will
really
bring
excitement
and
vibrancy.
That
will
spill
into
the
the
other
residential
components
of
the
project.
B
W
W
So
I
moved
that
the
county
board
adopted
county
managers,
recommendations
that
are
contained
in
32,
a
and
b,
which
specifically
are
to
allocate
150
million
dollars
of
loan
proceeds
in
general
fund
non-departmental
to
the
barcroft
project,
which
is
a
1334
unit,
garden
apartment
complex
located
at
1130,
south
george
mason
drive,
and
then
we
also
approve
the
terms
of
what
is
the
substantially
final
attached
county
acquisition
fund
loan
documents
for
said:
150
million
dollar
loan
to
the
1130
south
george
mason
drive
res
owner
llc,
an
entity
affiliated
with
jair
lynch
real
estate
partners
and
for
item
32b
that
the
arlington
county
board
adopt
the
county.
W
Manager's
recommendation
to
approve
the
attached
resolution
authorizing
the
county
to
issue
revenue
notes
to
finance
the
acquisition,
certain
land
equipment
and
other
projects
on
a
revolving
credit
basis
that
we
appropriate
150
million
dollars
in
loan
proceeds
to
finance
the
barcroft
acquisition
plan
and
that
we
appropriate
0.85
million
dollars
from
unallocated
ahip
balances
to
cover
debt
service
for
the
first
for
the
remainder
of
the
fiscal
year
2022,
which
is
approximately
six
months,
and
that
is
the
recommendation
contained
in
board
report.
32
b.
B
W
I'll
speak
to
it
briefly.
Clearly,
the
manager
prefaced
this
conversation
several
days
ago
by
calling
this
transformative.
W
When
I
was
elected
to
the
board
these
many
years
ago,
I
identified
it
to
him
through
conversation
as
one
of
my
big
priorities,
as
mr
schneider
mentioned
before
the
entire
plan
for
columbia,
pike
in
terms
of
unit
preservation
and
the
mix
entirely
hinges
on
barcroft.
It
is
not
workable.
W
The
math
does
not
work
if
barcroft
doesn't
work,
so
this
is
clearly
important
and
when
we
think
about
this,
this
deal
this
partnership,
who
none
of
us
knew
years
ago
when
this
property
came
up
to
be
disposed
of
what
it
would
look
like,
but
from
everything
that
we
know
now.
This
is
really
the
realization
of
not
only
our
our
absolute
pain
points
and
pressure
points,
but
the
realization
of
really
a
lot
of
our
hopes
and
dreams.
W
So
that's
that's
something
that
is
is
thrilling,
and
I
won't
conclude
all
of
my
remarks
but
to
say
that
this
is
a
really
big
deal.
I'm
thankful
for
all
the
great
great
words
that
we've
heard
from
we've
had
from
our
public,
and
you
know
I'll
note
that
even
some
of
our
chief
critics
were
working
hard
not
to
not
to
say
good
job,
so
that
that
was
very
interesting.
But
let's,
let's
continue
to
have
conversation
on
this.
B
U
B
Sure,
thank
you.
So
it's
really
just
one.
We
have
not
spoken
in
in
extensive
detail
on
32b
and
just
wanted
to
kind
of.
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
general
question,
but
it's
sort
of
for
miss
cowan
or
mr
freeze.
Can
you
just
describe
a
little
bit?
We
have
a
of
a
first
year
commitment
of
ahif.
B
Then
we
have
a
interest
rate
that
proceeds
for,
I
believe,
the
following
five
years
and
then
an
interest
rate
that
goes
up
if
development
has
not
proceeded
a
one
percent
change
in
interest
rates
can
mean
a
significant
difference.
X
So
if
I
could
speak
initially,
though,
to
the
line
of
credit
itself,
so
in
order
to
secure
the
150
million
to
contribute
to
this
acquisition,
we
extended
an
agreement
that
we
have
to
mature
approval
with
pnc
bank,
which
gave
us
easy
access
to
those
150
million.
And
the
great
thing
about
this
line
of
credit
is
that
it's
very
flexible.
X
So
you
heard
ms
vanessa
and
mr
lynch
discuss
how
we'll
be
going
through
this
long-term
planning
process
and
over
a
10-year
redevelopment
phase
to
figure
out
what
the
sources
of
financing
are
with
the
potential
that
it
would
buy
down.
The
county's
investment,
then
in
the
property
right,
150
million
loan,
and
so
this
line
of
credit
is
very
flexible
and
allows
for
prepayment
so
that
it
could
reduce
that
long-term
obligation.
And
so
that's
the
rationale
for
what
we
did
there.
Now.
X
The
interest
rate
on
the
ahaf
loan,
which
is
great
about
this
initial
investment,
is
that
it's
a
hard
pay
loan
of
one
percent,
as
you
noted
in
the
first
five
years,
and
that
initially
in
certain
for
certainly
for
the
first
year,
given
what
we
know
about
the
interest
rate
on
the
line
of
credit
will
largely
cover
the
majority
of
debt
service
in
fy
22,
with
the
balance,
if
there's
any
delta
coming
from
ahifs
and
then.
Similarly,
we
expect
the
same
in
23
as
long
as
there's
not
a
significant
increase
in
interest
rates.
X
So
that
was
part
of
the
rationale
for
doing
that,
and
then
once
we
get
through
the
long-term
finance
plan,
we'll
have
a
better
sense
of
how
we
should
structure
the
county's
loan
or
the
line
of
credit
right.
You
know
what
I
mean:
do
we
lock
in
part
of
it?
Do
we
not?
And
so
that's
how
we
put
the
overall
deal
together.
The
rationale
for
the
increasing
interest
rate
after
five
years
on
the
hip
loan
in
some
ways
followed
the
amazon
deal
and
just
to
keep.
X
B
Thank
you
appreciate
it,
and
just
you
know,
I
think,
there's
language
that
seeks
to
reflect
that
that
we
cannot
plan.
We
have
planned
for
eventualities
and
protected
the
county,
but
we,
but
there
there
has
to
be.
You
know
we
cannot
guarantee
the
order
of
things.
I
believe,
there's
one
estimate.
B
Maybe
you
could
speak
to
a
little
bit
that
in
the
most
challenging
scenarios
or
or
this
could
result
in
an
approximately
of
a
commitment
that
might
range
five
to
seven
million
in
a
hif
funding,
just
so
that
we're
transparent
with
our
public
verbally
in
addition
to
in
our
staff
report.
X
Sure
so
you
know,
based
on
mr
luncheon's
team,
have
been
really
great
about
providing
us
with
the
super
preliminary.
X
It
could
be
five
to
seven
million
dollars
annually
and
that
could
be
the
number
now
it
could
be
better
or
it
could
be
worse,
there's
a
lot.
We
put
this
deal
together
very
quickly.
I
think
we
had
a
great
team
working
on
it
and
we'll
see
once
we
get
through
this
next
year
and
go
through
this
longer
term
process.
What
that
exact
number
is.
B
W
You
know
this
has
really
been
one
where
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
jair
lynch,
real
estate
partners
and
arlington
county's
role
in
all
of
this
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
give
a
little
bit
air
to
the
role
of
the
organization
that
would
come
before
us
if
we
were
all
listening,
alphabetically
amazon,
so
amazon,
as
many
people
know,
has
a
two
billion
dollar
housing
equity
fund
that
they
are
going
to
invest
in
their
their
communities
here,
nashville
washington-
and
that
was
a
big
deal
when
it
was
announced-
and
you
know
with
that-
came
a
commitment
and
a
desire
to
get
20
000
units
with
that
two
billion
dollar
investment.
W
If
you
do
the
math
that's
about
100
000,
a
unit
amazon
is
all
in
on
this
deal
a
little
bit
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
So
we
thank
you
all
for
making
the
stretch
and
for
realizing
the
value
in
this,
and
we
really
know
that
without
your
providing
below
market
capital,
in
addition
to
our
below
market
capital,
we
could
be
dealing
with
a
very,
very
different
result.
So
thank
you
and
with
that
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
from
people
in
our
community
wondering.
W
Why
did
this
happen
have
to
happen
so
fast,
and
why
couldn't
you
share
more
with
us
and
couldn't
you
push
the
closing
date,
and
I
want
to
remind
people
that
this
wasn't
just
simply
one
side
negotiating
with
a
buyer.
This
was
a
competitive
process.
You
know
like
years
ago
in
the
housing
market,
where
they
were
escalating
offers
upon
escalating
officers.
Well,
that's
what
we
were
dealing
with
here
so
gyre
lynch
real
estate
partners
had
to
put
together
a
package
that
could
offer
the
cleanest
possible
terms
for
closing
at
the
highest
possible
premium
price.
W
So
all
of
those
desires
to
to
do
the
arlington
thing
of
sitting
with
it
and
deliberating
and
deliberating
some
more
wasn't
to
happen,
so
we
needed
to
act
in
the
best
interest
of
our
community.
I
feel
confident
that
we've
done
so
in
a
way
that,
well,
quite
frankly,
is
is,
is
going
to
help
stabilize
our
community
and
really
that's
where
I
just
get
really
excited
about
this
deal
in
the
near
term.
W
We
have
talked
about
the
fact
that
there
will
be
no
displacement,
that
households
will
be
stabilized,
which
means
kids
will
be
able
to
go
to
school,
where
they've
previously
been
going
to
school,
that
the
pandemic
will
not
exacerbate
bad
outcomes,
that
job
security
won't
be
threatened.
We've
got
a
situation
where
their
middle
term
security
is
even
more
certain
than
it
was
before,
because
they'll
have
the
availability
and
offer
of
longer
term
leases.
W
This
deal
brings
with
it
the
capitalization
to
make
sure
that
the
deferred
and
ongoing
maintenance
needs
are
going
to
be
better
addressed.
This
is
a
very,
very,
very
good
deal
for
people
who
live
at
barcroft
apartments,
and
of
that
I
am
most
grateful.
Mr
reyes,
thank
you
very
much
for
reminding
us
all
about
arnold
valley.
I
think
the
trauma-
and
I
don't
use
that
word
lightly-
that
went
into
all
that
occurred.
There
has
very
much
informed
our
ability
to
respond.
W
Favorably
this
time
around-
and
I
appreciate
your
recognizing
that,
as
I
mentioned
before,
barcroft
is
essential
to
the
columbia
pike
community
without
a
favorable
disposition
of
it
columbia.
Pike
really
doesn't
work
is
the
community
that
engaged
in
planning
its
long-term
future
desired.
So
this
is
wonderful
to
stabilize
the
community
and,
as
ms
marlene
mentioned
on
the
on
the
the
teams,
call
fiscally
prudent
people
can
look
at
this
and
see
a
lot
to
love
as
well.
W
Hundred
thousand
dollars
per
unit
for
our
subsidy
is
fantastic
for
what
we
do
when
we
consider
all
manner
of
affording
affordable
housing
deals
in
our
community,
and
when
we
look
at
the
the
financing
package
that
ms
cowan
talked
about,
you
know
it's.
It's
really
reflective
of
the
county's
credit
worthiness
overall
that
we
were
able
to
execute
such
favorable
terms
very,
very
quickly,
so
I'll
try
to
speed
through
this,
mr
lynch,
and,
on
behalf
of
I'm
sorry,
I
hope
you
will
accept
to
your
entire
team.
W
W
That's
really
an
exemplification
of
what
we
mean
by
you
know,
equity
in
in
in
looking
at
people
and
talent,
and
I
just
I
love
it,
and
you
know
I
realize
that
we've
got
this
hugely
long
and
complicated
loan
document
that
outlines
the
terms
and
conditions
that
our
resources
come
with.
W
But
I
want
to
you
know,
say
sincerely
that
we
look
forward
to
hearing
what
your
approaches
are
to
place
making
and
community
and
capacity
building,
because
I
hope
from
your
very
development
experiences
elsewhere,
that
we'll
have
a
lot
to
learn
as
well,
that
we
can
incorporate
for
the
rest
of
our
county
and
you
know,
look
to
everyone
else,
just
as
I
mentioned
before.
Please
give
them
time.
This
was
80
for
80
years.
W
This
was
a
black
box
to
the
wider
community,
and
now
that
it's
going
to
be
opened
up,
please
don't
take
advantage
of
that
by
not
letting
us
do
our
best
work.
So
hopefully
I
I
make
the
plea
for
patience,
and
you
know
for
all
of
those
who
would
have
loved
to
have
dug
into
this
more.
W
I
do
sincerely
appreciate
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
in
arlington
who,
who
probably
could
have
made
a
contribution
if
they
had
gotten
into
this
and
deliberated
over
it
for
a
while
before,
but
you
know,
half
a
billion
dollar
deals
are
hard
enough.
I
mean
in
this
one
I
counted
10
pages
of
definitions
alone
in
our
loan
agreement,
which
is
crazy.
W
Clearly,
we
could
not
have
negotiated
that
with
the
community,
so
I
will
just
trust
that
as
people
pour
over
this
over
the
weeks
ahead,
they
will
come
to
the
conclusion
that
we
have
that
we
absolutely
need
to
do
this
and
we're
getting
into
it
under
pretty
good
terms,
and
thank
you
for
indulging
me
and
being
long-winded.
U
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,
this
is
the
season
for
gift
giving
and
celebrating.
It
feels
really
right.
I
got
on
the
board
in
2012
march.
Actually,
I'm
almost
10
years,
it's
interesting
and
I
very
quickly
I've
been
on
the
school
board.
So
look
at
education.
I
very
quickly
kind
of
dived
into
things
a
little
bit
land
use-
and
I
got
to
this
real,
quick
shorthand.
I
had
two
worries:
nsa
and
minecraft
apartments.
Nsa
was
the
shorthand
for
our
commercial
vacancy
rate.
U
U
U
We
also
like
to
be
in
the
forefront
of
things,
and
often
I
think,
being
in
the
forefront
is
maybe
not
the
best
place
to
be.
You
can
make
mistakes
and
stuff,
but
on
something
like
this,
I
think
we
really
want
a
need
to
be
in
the
forefront.
Nobody
has
figured
out
how
to
do
affordable
housing
in
a
popular
commercial,
a
popular
urban
area.
I
don't
think
anywhere
in
the
world
and
the
idea
of
coming
in
and
creating
a
community.
U
I
loved
what
you
said
about
creating
communities,
not
buildings,
and
you
said
that
your
your
your
customers
are
residents
and
families,
not
tenants,
and
that's
just
a
really
great
way
to
start
you've
met
some
of
our
people
here.
Mr
reyes
can
help
you
a
lot
and
talk
with
you
probably
met
him
already,
which
is
great.
We've
got
a
lot
of
people
who
are
active.
Some
of
this.
This
came
from
some
places
along
the
pike
we
had
some
treats
with
mr
takas
swearing,
and
maybe
we
could
give.
U
Mr,
mr,
we
will
give
you
one
of
these.
It's
delicious
and
you
should
you'll
stop
by
cafe
sea
zone
right
there
on
columbia,
pike,
it's
great,
you're,
gonna
love
it
here.
You're
gonna
love
it
here
anyway.
I'm
just
delighted
that
you're
here,
the
one
thing
I
want
to
warn
you
about
is
trees,
we're
really
big
on
saving
trees
and
there's
some
gorgeous
trees
there.
U
So,
as
you
work
on
the
amenities,
pools
tot
lots
and
all
of
that
which
so
needed
for
that
community
anyway,
just
just
remember
the
trees
and
I
I
could
go
on
for
quite
a
long
time.
I
think
we're
probably
gonna
have
a
fairly
long
relationship.
I
think
you're
going
to
be
here
for
a
while.
This
is
a
great
community
and
I'm
just
excited.
I
think
this
partnership
between
amazon
and
and
you
and
the
county
and
our
community
and
really
bringing
in
the
people
who
live
here.
U
Sometimes
it's
like
what
a
strange
concept
you
talk
to
people
actually
live
here
about
what
they
need.
I
mean
that's
the
way
it
should
be
done,
but
it
often
is
not
so
thank
you
so
very
much
for
coming
happy
holidays.
Thank
you.
B
V
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
mr
lynch
good
to
see
you
again.
I
tried
to
remember
when
it
was
last
time
that
we
were
in
the
same
room,
and
it
was
about
10
years
ago,
2011.
H
V
And
back,
then,
you
were
actually
touring
columbia,
pike,
some
of
these
risk
properties,
as
I
it
was
my
job
to
present
them
to
you
and
and
to
make
you
aware
what
the
county
board
of
that
time
of
the
what
the
community
wanted
to
see
happening
there
and
what
the
project
envisioned
by
the
columbia
pike
initiative,
of
which
this
is
the
22nd
year.
V
So
I'm
very
happy
that
this
investment
paid
off
and
that
and
that
you
are
back
and
doing
taking
this
very
courageous
decision,
and
that's
true
also
for
us,
so
so
to
our
fellow
taxpayers
and
to
our
fellow
residents
in
arlington.
V
This
was
a
really
really
big
decision.
This
is
a
really
big
decision
and
nobody
none
across
this
dice
has
taken
that
easily,
and
I
know
that
on
the
staff
side,
I
will
come
to
that
a
little
bit
later,
even
less
so.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
work
and
thought
behind
that
also
a
lot
of
hope
and
talking
about
hope.
V
I
want
to
assure
our
residents
our
taxpayers
that
actually
this
is
investment.
This
is
not
subsidy.
This
is
investment.
There
is
a
positive
side
on
this
balance
sheet
and
it's
mighty
we're
enabling
your
investment
in
a
very
compact,
big,
but
very
compact
campus.
It
has
momentous
development
potential
and,
of
course
it
it
retains
its
value-added
capacity
and
it
has
even
even
increased
that
over
time.
V
If
I
were
your
investor,
mr
lynch,
I
would
feel
quite
comfortable
tonight
actually
at
the
prospects
of
what
is
going
to
happen
in
barcraft,
in
a
both
in
a
profitable
way
for
you,
but
also
in
a
profitable
way
in
all
possible
dimensions
for
our
community
as
well.
The
size
and
the
economies
of
scale
of
this
campus
are
absolutely
unique,
definitely
unique
in
northern
virginia,
I
believe,
unique
in
the
general
context
of
the
metropolitan
region.
V
This
property,
by
the
way,
will
also
be
paying
taxes.
This
is
not
like
they're,
not
and
so
much
more
so
this
word,
I
believe-
and
at
least
I
start
there-
I'm
not
only
interesting.
You
hear
it
from
a
housing
advocate,
I'm
not
only
interested
in
that
the
preservation
of
foreign.
V
I
am
equally
interested
in
the
contribution
of
this
development,
future
development
and
of
this
faith
development
plan
to
take
columbia,
pike
to
the
place
envisioned
by
the
columbia
pike
initiative
on
columbia.
Back
there
are
40
000
linktonians
living
one
out.
Four,
the
riskiest
properties
also
present
the
biggest
opportunities
here.
V
Barcroft
should
not
continue
to
be
a
bedroom
community.
It
should
be
a
community,
a
desirable
place
to
live
in
10
years
from
now.
I
I
really
envision
barcraft
to
be
a
place
where
we
will
be
inviting
people
from
across
the
nation,
maybe
across
the
world,
to
show
them
what
we
did
to
get
them
to
visit
arlington,
because
of
that
so
back
to
those
who
have
worked
so
much
about
this
on
this,
so
miss
vanessa,
I
misread
so,
mr
novsky.
V
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
for
all
the
work
that
you
invested
and
you
will
be
continuing
to
invest
in
this.
The
county
attorney's
office,
the
unsung
heroes
of
this
as
well,
miss
hefferman
and
ms
core
and
everybody
who
has
been
supporting
you.
It
is
really
tough
to
pull
this
off.
We
understand
that-
and
this
is
really
something
I
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
V
I
want
to
also
name
some
people
who
are
not
in
the
room
today,
but
they
were
in
the
room
before
some
of
them.
Those
who
have
been
working
on
the
neighborhoods
plan,
the
columbia
pike
neighborhoods
plan
when
we
talk
about
was
the
community
aware
of
that
or
was
the
community
involved?
Well,
I
can
tell
you
that
by
2011
10
years
from
back,
there
was
a
thorough
process
that
went
through
all
scenarios,
including
the
scenario
we're
living
today.
We
actually
estimated
back
then
that
the
gap
financing
would
be
about
73
thousand
dollars.
V
V
I
also
saw
for
a
moment
in
here
in
in
the
team's
meeting
mr
matusek,
who
was
a
planner
back
then,
and
miss
jennifer
smith.
So
this
is
a
right
moment
to
thank
them
for
their
work
as
well
and
so
to
thank
miss
cohen
and
and
and
the
entire
team
of
the
county
managers
office.
We
know
that
they
have
been
working
on
this
as
well
and
last
but
not
least,
amazon.
V
I
have
to
tell
you
it
is
a
very
big
investment
that
you
are
making
and
it's
it's
very
appreciated
it.
I
consider
that
not
only
as
a
strategic
investment,
but
actually
a
partnership
that
is
forming,
and
if
I
look
on
what
happened
this
year,
crystal
house
was
another
one
significant
and
we
did
some
some
more,
mr
chair
in
this
year,
greenbrier
park,
shirlington
and
now
barcroft.
V
I
do
believe
that
closing
this
december,
that
we
are
presenting
to
arlingtonians
a
very
solid
commitment
of
of
their
political
leadership,
something
that
the
voters
award
rewarded
that
we
are
serious
about
preserving,
affordable
housing
in
ireland.
We
are
not
done,
though.
The
size
of
this
commitment
just
reflects
the
size
of
the
problem,
so
we
will
keep
working
on
this.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
will
of
course,
support
the
motion.
S
Thank
you.
I
want
to
echo
mr
carontos
comments
about
the
magnitude
with
the
possible
possible
exclusion
of
the
water
pollution
control
plant,
although
I
think
that
was
made
through
multiple
actions
of
the
board.
I
think
this
is
perhaps
the
largest
single
appropriation.
This
board
has
ever
voted
on
on
anything,
not
just
affordable
housing,
and
there
are
opportunity
costs
for
these
funds.
The
debt
service
alone
will
have
impacts
on
our
annual
operating
budget.
S
It
will,
in
other
ways
constrain
our
affordable
housing
portfolio
and
it's
important
to
acknowledge
the
size
and
the
magnitude
of
that
and
it.
This
is
that
important.
This
is
an
action
that
is
so
important
to
our
community
as
a
whole
to
all
of
our
affordable
housing
goals
to
all
of
our
goals,
for
the
future
of
columbia,
pike
and
for
the
realization
of
the
community
vision
that
mr
carontone
has
talked
about.
So
compellingly,
150
million
dollars
stretches
the
county
so
far.
S
If
amazon
were
not
here
in
arlington,
county
and
part
of
this
community
and
is
committed
to
keeping
this
community
intact
as
we
are,
this
community
wouldn't
be
staying
intact.
So
I
I
we're
joined
tonight
by
a
few
members,
mr
stout
ms
buell,
mr
swift
and
mr
benson,
and
we're
we're
so
glad
to
have
your
partnership.
S
I
think
it's
the
understatement
of
the
day
to
say
that
amazon
has
done
the
right
thing
here
and
now
it's
on
all
of
us
to
execute.
S
S
We're
also
so
fortunate
to
have
a
mission-driven
county
staff
because,
as
my
colleagues
have
echoed
as
our
manager
has
echoed,
I
mean
this
has
been
a
burn:
the
midnight
oil
for
about
six
weeks
straight
type
of
project
and
that
mission
drivenness
has
been
as
true
of
our
attorneys
and
our
management
and
finance
analyst.
As
it's
been
of
our
housing
staff
and
human
services
leads.
S
It's
truly
taken
an
amazing
team
working
around
the
clock,
in
close
collaboration
with
your
team,
mr
lynch,
to
to
get
us
to
this
point,
and
I
am
so
grateful
to
for
them
and
I'll
speak
a
little
bit
personally
for
a
moment,
just
in
closing
as
a
douglas
park
resident
who's,
just
a
couple
blocks
away
from
the
barcraft
apartments.
How
much
it
meant
to
me,
mr
lynch,
as
I
think
it
did
to
ms
garvey,
to
hear
you
describe
folks.
S
These
are
my
son's
playmates
at
doctors
run
park
and
in
a
couple
of
septembers
they'll,
be
his
classmates
at
randolph
elementary
school,
and
it's
it's
just
so
meaningful
to
have
a
partner
who
who
sees
these
families
as
families
as
arlingtonians
as
true
drivers
of
of
our
community,
and
I
feel
lucky
to
live
in
their
neighborhood
and
I'm
so
glad
to
know
that
that
we
will
be
able
to
for
many
years
to
come
and
to
just
conclude
I
was
thinking,
is
ms
venezia,
so
compellingly
describe
the
way
the
equity
questions
map
on
to
the
analysis
that
staff
has
done.
S
You
know
that
kind
of
final
question
of
of
what
did
we
do
right?
That's
that's
the
equity
question
we're
asking
ourselves
now,
but
what
did
we
do?
That's
also
the
question
that
history
will
ask
of
us.
This
board
the
staff,
our
partners,
when
it
came
time
to
preserve
the
largest
market
rate,
affordable
housing
complex
in
this
community
and
with
it
preserves
so
much
of
what
makes
the
pike
an
amazing
place,
and
I
am
thrilled
to
be
able
to
take
this
vote
and
to
be
able
to
answer
that
question
so
affirmatively
tonight.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
miss
crystal,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
staff
and
vanessa.
I've
tried
to
make
sure
that
nothing
else
so
little
we're
trying
you're
doing
so
much
and
just
a
huge
thank
you.
You've
been
relentless.
B
I
don't
know
when
whether
brenda
heffernan
is
here
but
a
huge
thank
you
to
miss
core
brenda
heffernan
for
all
of
the
work
there's
so
many
different
people
that
have
to
work
had
to
work
over
the
last
month,
virtually
non-stop
and
every
moment.
There's
issues
at
play
and
just
a
huge
thank
you
to
our
attorneys
ms
cowan
and
dmf.
B
Thank
you
so
much.
I
hope
it's
okay
to
say
that
I'm
hoping
that
there
will
be
some
long
nights
of
sleep,
because
I
know
you've
been
working
so
so
hard
and
the
entire
team
just
a
huge.
Thank
you
thanks
as
well
to
the
rest
of
the
housing
team,
melissa,
danoski
and
and
sarah
piso,
and
and
to
erica
moore
and
briana
helfer.
B
B
You
also
know
that
these
pages
can
cover
in
broad
terms
the
relationship
that
we
are
starting,
but
not
in
total,
and
I
am
very
heartened
by
your
commitment
and
I'm
con,
I'm
confident
without
being
certain
that
we're
going
to
work
together
through
the
the
the
process
of
the
five
to
seven
different
development
pieces
and
families
will
be
respected
and,
and
we
will
build
on
this
community
to
amazon,
the
crystal
houses
was
381.5
million
that
you
made
as
a
commitment
to
our
community.
B
B
This
is
not
easy,
but
this
is
exactly
the
partnership
that
we
could
have
only
hoped
for
at
the
best
of
what
we
were
doing
and
the
partnerships
mean
that
things
get
detailed
and
you
might
not
agree
on
every
point
at
every
moment,
but
you
agreed
to
commit
as
you
as,
as
I
know,
resonates
and
I
hope
resonates
with
the
leadership
and
and
the
partners
that
really
we
have
in
our
community.
So
I
can't
say
this
is
perhaps
the
most
grateful.
B
I
am
with
respect
to
the
partnership
on
this,
because
I
agree
with
miss
crystal
that,
but
for
your
partnership,
there's
nothing
inevitable
about
this
private
property
staying
affordable.
So
I
would
I
do
have
to
say.
I
think
it's
important
just
to
mention.
Mr
reyes
is
right
that
there's
a
long
road
that
is
still
left
to
go
and
we
will
have
to
live
our
values
every.
Second,
I'm
very
pleased
to
answer
mr
spain's
questions
regarding
relocation
guidelines.
B
B
I
will
wrap
up
just
by
saying
this
is
I
think
mr
snyder
said
we
are
celebrating
the
opportunity
to
get
to
start.
B
We
still
have
to
close,
and
we
still
have
to
then
start,
and
mr
dorsey
is
right
that
we'll
we
ask
for
time,
but
you
know
between
1939
and
1953,
when
these
were
built.
This
was
the
middle
class.
This
was
the
way
to
make
your
way
up
the
economic
ladder
and
what
we
are
asking
and
what
we
are
doing
tonight
is
our
chance
at
history
to
keep
making
that
real
for
as
many
people
as
we
possibly
can
on
this
night.
So
I
said
when
I
voted
for
at
different
times.
B
I
said
we
gotta
close
the
distance
between
the
way
the
world
is
and
the
way
the
world
should
be,
and
this
vote
absolutely
does
it.
So
with
that,
the
question
is
on
mr
dorsey's
motion.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
not
available.
