Message: Commissioners, Next week, you will be reviewing the Affordable Housing Ordinance.
I'd like to propose that you re-consider the proposed 1000 sq. ft. minimum, 2 bedroom 1 bath
house requirement that is currently in the ordinance. I don't believe the 1000 sq. ft. minimum is
appropriate or in the communities best interest. I have designed a number of houses in Valley
West Subdivision that have been built and sold in the past year that were 840 square feet, 2
bedroom 2 bath. By reducing the square footage requirement, this allows the house to be sold at
a more affordable price. Currently we have built and sold 4 of these homes on Cottonwood in
Valley West for $197,900. We have 2 more under contract at $205,000 also on Cottonwood. My
current residence that I designed and built is a 904 square foot 2 bedroom 2 bath home in Valley
West at 4212 Toole St. I would encourage you to look at these properties if you have the time as
it will show you what is possible.
