Housing Committee Minutes of June 10, 2020 Meeting A remote meeting of the Portland City Council’s Housing Committee was held on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 5:30 P.M. via ZOOM. Councilors present at the meeting included Committee members Councilor Pious Ali, Councilor Kim Cook, and Councilor Jill Duson, Chair of the Committee. City staff present included Mary Davis Division Director Housing and Community Development, Victoria Volent Housing Program Manager, and Greg Mitchell Division Director Economic Development, Item 1: Review and accept Minutes of previous meetings held on May 13, 2020 Motion by Councilor Ali to accept the minutes from May 13, 2020. Motion was seconded by Councilor Cook and the minutes were approved 3-0. Item 2: Review and Recommendation to the City Council of Funding Requests Received from the Affordable Housing Development Applications – 200 Valley Street, 337 Cumberland Avenue and 577 Washington Avenue (Washington Gardens) Mary Davis introduced this item. Staff was impressed with the quality of all three applications, agreeing that each application had strengths and weaknesses across the scoring categories. All three proposals are quality projects that are in line with the City’s goals for housing. The proposals were reviewed by staff according to the selection criteria stated in the 2020 Affordable Housing Development Application. Staff scored the applications with the caveat that final scoring is pending underwriting information. Staff will re-evaluate the scoring after review of the underwriting reports. All projects requesting HOME funding or an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing are required to undergo underwriting. The City has recently hired an underwriter. Total Housing Development funding available for affordable housing development is $1,571,245. The three proposals requested $1,495,000 in funding. Staff is recommending all three proposal receive funding. 200 Valley Street received a total score of 80 points; 337 Cumberland Avenue received a total score of 76 points; and 577 Washington Avenue received a total score of 76 points. The Affordable Housing Development requests and AHTIF requests will be reviewed by the Council during their July 13 and August 3 meetings. Councilor Ali- Disclosed his prior participation with 337 Cumberland Avenue and indicated he would not be voting on that funding request. 1 Councilor Cook- Suggested Councilor Ali also recuse himself from the discussion on 337 Cumberland Avenue. Councilor Duson- Indicated the Committee would first discuss 200 Valley and 577 Washington Avenue and take action on those items. 337 Cumberland Avenue vote and discussion would be taken up separately. Councilor Duson opened the meeting to public comment on 200 Valley Street and 577 Washington Avenue. Karen Snyder- 72 Waterville Street. Concerned that the affordability term for 200 Valley is not longer. Would like to confirm 337 Cumberland is a low-income housing TIF. How is the term decided? Is 337 Cumberland owned by PHA? What is the affordability term for 577 Washington Avenue? George Rhault- West Bayside. 200 Valley Street is a great example of how historic preservation is discriminatory. The house at 200 Valley Street has not been recognized for its historic value. 577 Washington Avenue should demolish the buildings and create greater density with taller buildings. How does the City enforce the Passive House and Green Building Ordinance? Seeing no further comment, the public hearing was closed. Mary Davis- During site plan review by the Planning Board, Permitting and Inspections inspects the site plans to ensure standards are met. Additionally, the Certificate of Occupancy would not be issued if the Ordinance standards were not met. Mary Davis- The terms of the tax increment financing do not have a bearing on the term. Rental housing projects that receive HOME/Housing Trust funding would have a term of 90 years. AHTIF requests have a requirement of a minimum of thirty years. Due to the layering of funding requests, the highest term is the term that is used. Mary Davis- PHDC is the development arm of the Portland Housing Authority. Motion by Councilor Ali. Seconded by Councilor Cook for passage of a recommendation for funding of 200 Valley and 577 Washington Avenue. Councilor Cook- These are three great projects and acknowledged the pain of the antiquated building ordinance, which does limit the developers, including affordable housing developers. She sympathizes with the distress over this issue. Willing to support these proposals. Approved 3-0 for passage. Councilor Ali recused himself from the discussion and vote on a funding recommendation to the Council for 337 Cumberland Avenue. Councilor Duson opened the meeting to public comment. George Rheault- Hanover Street. Declared the city should not approve projects until they are in the Planning Board process. Where will the children go to school? What will the outdoor play space look like? 2 Seeing no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Matt Peters- PHDC. The current play space area would receive a face-lift. It would be available for the children of the apartments. There would be two additional play areas. Mary Davis- Neighborhood outreach is required in the Planning Board process. Matt Peters- Two meetings with the Bayside neighborhood have occurred. There will be a community meeting as part of the Planning Board process and public comment will be taken during the Planning Board meetings. Motion by Councilor Duson. Seconded by Councilor Cook for recommendation for funding of 337 Cumberland Avenue passed 2-0 (Councilor Ali recused). Item 3: Discussion and Housing Committee Direction Related to an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing Request for a Proposed Housing Development at 45 Brown Street Mary Davis introduced this item. The Housing Committee is being asked for any comments/recommendations for the Economic Development Committee for their upcoming meeting. This item is not an action item, so a vote would not be taken. There have been changes to the project, so costs are not available. Councilor Duson- Asked Committee members how they wished to proceed. Councilor Cook- Okay with allowing the Economic Development Committee to take action. Councilor Ali- Okay with the process as outlined. The City of Portland’s Division of Housing and Community Development recently received an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (AHTIF) application from Presidium for a project located at 45 Brown Street. 45 Brown Street is located in an existing city council approved area-wide TIF district, the Downtown TIF. The area-wide TIF district will need to be amended to carve out this site to enable a free standing 30-year affordable housing TIF district to be established. The Presidium Real Estate development team is proposing a 7 story new development project that would result in 278 new units of rental housing. The project has an estimated total development cost of $88,186,655. Greg Mitchell- The Housing Committee is seeing the project before the Economic Development Committee’s review. The terms of the TIF structure do require more work so this is not scheduled with EDC for the month of July. Councilor Duson thanked the developers for bringing affordable rental units to the downtown area and closed this item from further discussion. 3 Item 4: Communication Item: FY21 HUD Annual Allocation Plan Mary Davis introduced this item. Each year, the City of Portland submits an Annual Action Plan which details the activities and resources that will be used to address the priority needs and goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. A copy of the FY 20/21 HUD Annual Action Plan is posted on the city’s website (https://www.portlandmaine.gov/762/Plans-Reports). An electronic copy is included in the agenda packet in the Agenda Center. The document is over 100 pages long; paper copies are available upon request. The plan was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on May 15, 2020. HUD is currently reviewing the plan. The City anticipates final approval along with a grant agreement within the next few weeks. The plan includes the projects, activities and resources recommended for funding through the Housing and Community Development annual allocation process including CDBG funding recommendations, Housing Program Budget, and ESG Program Budget as approved by the City Council on May 4, 2020. Councilor Duson- Appreciated seeing the details and the allocation of funding. Mary Davis- The City Council approved CDBG task force has been meeting since March every other week to discuss the current allocation system, the City’s goals and priorities, and the scoring system. The task force will compile a report for the City Council. The Council will determine the goals and priorities for the next five years. The new five-year plan will not be filed until May of 2021. This planning is for FY 22. The Committee’s schedule is on the city website and the meetings are being conducted through Zoom. The public is welcomed to participate in the process. The FY21 HUD Annual Allocation Plan will be posted on the City website. Councilor Duson asked if the Plan is sent to the Council as a communication item. Mary Davis- Not sure, but it can be done. Councilor Duson- Comfortable with sending an email message to the full Council with a link to the Plan. Item 5: 2020 Work Plan Discussion Session Mary Davis introduced this item. Jack Kartez formerly of the Muskie School assisted the City during its 2016 Housing Committee Forum. He has provided initial comments on a possible 2020 Portland Housing Committee Forum. In his memo, he notes “The 2016 forum was needed to allow affected citizens and organizations to be informed of the results of five months of efforts in working groups and meetings—the extensive “bucket list”—and as a step towards proposals to Council for new actions. It was also an opportunity to test the acceptance and feasibility of those proposals with the public. The current situation however is different. Though the list is still an active tool, the Council made significant decisions to act or not act on the list’s various items over the last few years. The City has also pursued 4 its commitment to monitor and report on the affordable housing stock and city efforts. (There is) still a narrative that the City isn’t doing enough or isn’t treating affordable housing as a priority. Because of that, a present forum should involve informing along with listening.” The overall purpose of a 2020 forum would be to take stock of housing affordability efforts and ongoing needs. Staff is looking for Committee members thoughts on a virtual meeting. Councilor Ali- Would rather not have a virtual meeting. The homeless should attend and they would not have access to technology to attend. Councilor Duson- Agrees with Councilor Ali. Prefers to go out to the community to build goals and objectives. A housing forum would be a good place to stress accomplishments around housing development and housing safety. Would like Permitting and Inspections to be involved for a keep/stop/ start review. A virtual meeting would not allow broad input. When the Housing Committee makes its recommendations at the end of the year to the incoming Committee, a new housing forum should be prioritized. Councilor Duson opened the meeting to items not on the agenda. George Rheault- West Bayside. Portland, Oregon’s Planning Department commissioned the history of zoning policy in its city, which detailed how zoning has systemically hurt people without housing. Believes Portland, Maine badly needs this type of review. Zoning is political. Those without power receive the leftover crumbs. We need to confront that legacy to make the city the most we want it to be. Seeing no other comments, the public comment period was closed. Motion to adjourn by Councilor Cook, seconded by Councilor Ali, (approved 3-0), the meeting adjourned at 7:10 P.M. Respectively submitted, Victoria Volent . 5 CITY OF PORTLAND Economic Development Gregory A. Mitchell, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Housing Committee FROM: Greg Mitchell, Economic Development Director DATE: July 1, 2020 SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement Post-Closing Obligations to support mixed use development, including residential apartments. This is being presented to the Housing Committee for review and direction at their July 8, 2020, meeting. The EDC reviewed this request at their June 16, 2020, meeting and directed staff to seek Housing Committee input. The EDC is planning to hold a public hearing on this proposal at their July 21, 2020, EDC meeting. I. ONE SENTENCE DESCIPTION Amendments to the 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement post-closing obligations are proposed to substitute construction of upwards of 171 residential rental units, with 8,000 square feet of commercial retail space, in place of redeveloping 18,000 square feet of warehouse space into maker units. II. BACKGROUND Mr. Watson was selected through a public bid process to redevelop two properties located at 44/52 and 82 Hanover Street properties. 82 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement. Redevelopment of 82 Hanover Street is complete and fully leased. 389 Congress Street • Portland, Maine 04101 • 207-874-8683 info@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov 1 of 45 Redevelopment of 104 Grant Street, a condition of 82 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement, requires redevelopment into 23 residential units. This Project has received Planning Board approval and a request for City Council action on an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Credit Enhancement Agreement (CEA) is scheduled to be presented to the City Council on July 13, 2020. 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement. A condition of the 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement included the requirement to redevelop the existing 18,000 square foot former Public Works Fleet Services Metal Building into maker space. See attached Purchase and Sale Agreement. Mr. Watson’s Proposal is to demolish the existing Fleet Services Building to construct upwards of 171 residential apartments with 8,000 square feet of commercial retail space with courtyards. I note that Mr. Watson’s proposal does not require a rezoning nor requests any City financial investment through the City Housing Trust Fund or TIF CEA financial assistance. Attached is Mr. Watson’s Proposal entitled “52 Hanover, LLC, Port Property Management, Executive Summary”. III. INTENDED RESULT AND OR COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED City Council Goal is to “Increase access to rental and home ownership that is safe, affordable and accessible.” IV. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no financial impact associated with City Council action on proposed amendments to the 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement post-closing obligations. V. STAFF ANALYSIS City staff reviewed Mr. Watson’s proposal and are in agreement with the residential density analysis. It is noted that the proposed mixed-use project will require Planning Board site plan approval. VI. RECOMMENDATION City Planning, Housing and Community Development, and Economic Development staff have reviewed Mr. Watson’s proposal and support the change in the development program to include mixed-use residential and commercial development to gain upwards of 171 apartments. VII. LIST ATTACHMENTS - 44/52 Hanover Street Purchase and Sale Agreement - 52 Hanover Street Proposal Executive Summary 389 Congress Street • Portland, Maine 04101 • 207-874-8683 info@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov 2 of 45 14th 3 of 45 b. The parties agree that the City will continue to occupy and lease the Premises from Buyer after Closing (as defined herein) until at least March 31, 2019 by entering into a lease agreement with Buyer or Buyer’s successor or assigns, as Buyer shall elect, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Lease”); provided, however, that the City shall have the right to continue to occupy the Premises until September 30, 2019. The City hereby agrees to notify Buyer in writing on or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date if it intends to occupy the Premises beyond March 31, 2019 or the City shall be limited to a lease ending on March 31, 2019 unless Buyer and City shall otherwise agree. At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against (that is, a reduction of) the Purchase Price in the amount of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500.00) per month for the number of months remaining between the Closing Date and the end of the term of the Lease, which shall be no earlier than March 31, 2019 (the “Rent Credit”). If the first month which the City will occupy the Premises after Closing is less than a full month, the Rent Credit for that month shall be prorated. The Rent Credit shall serve as City’s nonrefundable advance payment of rent for the Lease of the Premises to the City by the Buyer or the Buyer’s successor or assigns, as Buyer shall elect. At Closing, the parties shall execute a Lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Regardless of the length of the term of the Lease or the date that the City vacates the Premises, in no event shall the Rent Credit be less than $75,000.00. c. The Buyer shall pay the remainder of the Purchase Price to the City after the Purchase Price is reduced by the full amount of the Rent Credit. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer (or as otherwise reasonably requested by the City) at Closing. 3. TITLE AND DUE DILIGENCE. a. Due Diligence Period. Subject to extension as set forth in Paragraph 3(b) and (d), Buyer will have from the Effective Date of this Agreement until 4:00 PM Portland, Maine time on the later of July 23, 2018 or the day that is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Due Diligence Period”) to complete any survey, environmental review and title examinations, and to undertake such other investigations, testing or inspections as Buyer shall deem appropriate. b. Property Description. The property description contained in the deed will be a survey description based upon a Boundary Survey performed by a Maine Licensed Surveyor to be obtained by the City (the “Survey”) which will more specifically describe the property shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “Premises Description”) in form reasonably acceptable to the City and Buyer. The Premises Description will be distributed to the parties hereto at 4 of 45 least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If the Premises Description is not received by City and Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Due Diligence Period shall be extended to a date thirty (30) days after it is received. The parties will agree on the final Premises Description prior to closing. If the parties cannot agree upon the final Premises Description prior to closing, then Buyer shall have the option to (1) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit (after which neither party will have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Agreement) or (2) waive the approval provision and close using a description to which the City will agree. c. Financing Contingency. Buyer shall have from the Effective Date of this Agreement until 4:00 PM Portland, Maine time on the day that is fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Financing Period”) to obtain a commitment for commercially reasonable financing acceptable to Buyer, provided, however, if the Due Diligence Period shall be extended, then the Financing Period shall be extended to expire on the date which is thirty (30) days after the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall take timely and commercially reasonable steps to secure such financing. If Buyer does not obtain a financing commitment acceptable to Buyer within the Financing Period, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to City, or may elect to close under the Agreement despite the lack of such commitment. If Buyer so exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, then the City shall refund to Buyer the Deposit, if previously paid, without interest, within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer's termination notice, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Any termination notice sent by Buyer with respect to this Agreement may merely state that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, shall have no formal requirements, and shall be immediately effective. d. Title, Survey and Environmental Objections. In addition to the Survey described above, the City agrees it has caused a Phase II Environmental study of the Premises to be performed. Buyer will have until the end of the Due Diligence Period to deliver to City any written objections to title, environmental, or survey matters that Buyer determines materially affect insurability of title at standard rates, or the use of the Premises, the value of the Premises, the cost of development of or the cost or feasibility of construction on the Premises. Objections not made prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period will be deemed waived; provided, however, that objections pertaining to matters of record first appearing, or utility easements discovered by Buyer, after the end of the Due Diligence Period may be made at any time prior to the closing. If the Survey and any environmental study (including, without limitation any Phase II Environmental study) are not completed and distributed to the parties at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, 5 of 45 the Due Diligence Period will be extended (without the need for further action by the parties hereto) to a date thirty (30) days after the date upon which the later of the Survey or any environmental study to be completed and received are completed and are received by Buyer and City. e. Option to Cure. (1) In the event of a title, Survey or environmental objection by Buyer, City will have the option, but not the obligation, to cure the objection and will notify Buyer of its election within ten (10) business days after receipt of the objection. In the event that the City elects to cure the objection, it will have sixty (60) days from the date of the notice of election, or such other reasonable time as the parties may agree, to cure the objection. In the event that the City does not elect to cure the objection, or, having elected to cure the objection fails to timely do so to Buyer’s satisfaction, Buyer will have the option to: (A) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit (after which neither party will have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Agreement); (B) waive the objection and close; or (C) undertake the cure of such objection at its own expense (in which case it shall have 60 days to do so and the Closing Date shall be extended to a date ten (10) days after the expiration of such 60 day period); if Buyer determines it is not satisfied with the results of its own cure efforts, Buyer shall be entitled at any time prior to the expiration of the ten (10) day period following Buyer’s sixty (60) day cure period set forth in this subsection (C) to terminate this Agreement as set forth in subsection (A) set forth above, or to waive its objection and close under this Agreement. (2) In the event City shall elect not to cure any objection by Buyer, Buyer shall have until the later of the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period or fourteen (14) days after receipt by Buyer of the City’s notice of election not to cure such Buyer’s objection in which to make its choice and to notify City whether it elects option A, B or C set forth in the previous subparagraph. If the City does not timely respond to the Buyer’s objection or if the City responds to Buyer’s objection but does not state whether or not it elects to cure all of Buyer’s objections, then Buyer shall have until the later of the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period or thirty (30) days after the date of Buyer’s objection(s) in which to make its choice and to notify City whether it elects option A, B or C set forth in the previous subparagraph. In the event City shall elect to cure all of Buyer’s objections, Buyer shall have until the later of the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period or fourteen (14) days following the end of the City’s 60-day cure period to make its choice and to notify City whether it accepts 6 of 45 the City’s cure with respect to all objections or whether it elects option A, B or C set forth in the previous subparagraph. (3) Nothing contained in this subsection (e) is intended to, nor shall in any way limit, Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and obtain a refund of the Deposit. f. Deed. City shall convey the Premises to Buyer at the closing in fee simple by a municipal quitclaim deed without covenant. Title shall be good and insurable title at standard rates, free and clear of all encroachments, liens and encumbrances except (i) easements consented to by Buyer; (ii) easements for utilities servicing the property, (iii) City ordinances, and (iv) real estate taxes not yet due and payable. Buyer further acknowledges that the deed shall contain a restriction stating that in the event that the Premises or any portion thereof shall become exempt from real and personal property taxes, by transfer, conversion, or otherwise, during the City’s fiscal year that begins following the Closing or in the fiscal years thereafter, then the then-owner of the exempt portion shall make annual payments to the City in lieu of taxes in the amount of the lesser of (a) the amount of property taxes that would have been assessed on the exempt portion of the real and personal property situated on the Premises had such property remained taxable, or (b) such other target percentage as may be approved as part of a City PILOT policy that may be in effect at the time taxes are due on such property. Such restriction shall also confirm that Buyer and its successors and assigns shall possess and be vested with all rights and privileges as to abatement and appeal of valuations, rates, and the like as are accorded owners of real and personal property in Maine. 3.1 TITLE DOCUMENTATION: The City agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s requests for documentation related to the title of the Premises or any tax taking of the Premises. 4. INSPECTIONS. a. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and its employees, consultants, contractors and agents shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to enter on the Premises at reasonable times in order to (i) inspect the same, (ii) conduct engineering studies, percolation tests, geotechnical exams, environmental assessments, and other such studies, tests, exams, and assessments as Buyer shall deem appropriate or desirable, and (iii) do such other things as Buyer determines, it is sole discretion, to be required to determine the suitability of the Premises for Buyer's intended use (collectively, the “Inspections”). The City acknowledges that such Inspections may include the digging of test pits, which the City hereby approves. 7 of 45 b. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City against any mechanics liens that may arise from the activities of Buyer and its employees, consultants, contractors and agents on the Premises, except those arising from labor or materials furnished at the City’s request. c. Buyer shall exercise the access and inspection rights granted hereunder at its sole risk and expense, and Buyer hereby releases the City from, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against, any and all losses, costs, claims, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and costs) (collectively, "Damages") suffered by the City on account of any injury to person or damage to property arising out of the exercise by Buyer of its rights hereunder, except to the extent that such Damages result from the act or omission of the City. d. Buyer shall cause any contractors, consultants or any other party conducting the Inspections to procure automobile insurance, if applicable, and general public liability insurance coverage in amounts of not less than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury, death and property damage, listing the City as an additional insured thereon, and also Workers’ Compensation Insurance coverage to the extent required by law; the forms of all such insurance to be subject to City’s Corporation Counsel’s reasonable satisfaction. e. In the event that Buyer does not purchase the Premises, Buyer agrees to either return the Premises as nearly as reasonably possible to its original condition after conducting the Inspections, or, at the City’s option, reimburse the City for any material physical damage caused to the Premises in connection with the Inspections; provided, however, the City hereby acknowledges and agrees that the term "physical damage" does not include any disturbance of any pre-existing environmental contamination on the Premises caused by such inspections, nor any studies, tests (including test borings or pits), exams, and assessments, and that Buyer shall have no obligation to clean-up, remove or take any other action with respect to any pre-existing environmental contamination disturbed thereby. f. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is a condition to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement that the results of the Inspections and other due diligence be acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. If the results of such Inspections or other due diligence are not acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion Buyer may terminate this Agreement. If Buyer exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, then the City shall refund to Buyer the Deposit, if previously paid, without interest, within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer's termination notice, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Any termination notice sent by Buyer with respect to this Agreement may merely state that Buyer elects 8 of 45 to terminate this Agreement, shall have no formal requirements, and shall be immediately effective. 5. REAL ESTATE TAXES, PRORATIONS AND TRANSFER TAX. Buyer shall be liable for all real estate taxes beginning as of the start of fiscal year following the closing and continuing thereafter except as provided in this Agreement and in the Lease. Because the Premises is currently owned by the City of Portland, which is exempt from real estate taxes, no taxes were assessed or will be due for any portion of the current fiscal year, and no taxes will be prorated at the closing. In the event that the Parties agree to not execute the Lease and the City does not continue to occupy the Property after the Closing Date, any utilities for the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. The Buyer’s one half share of Maine real estate transfer tax shall be paid for by Buyer in accordance with 36 M.R.S.A. § 4641-A. City is exempt from paying the transfer tax pursuant to 36 M.R.S.A. § 4641-C. The recording fee for the deed of conveyance and any expenses relating to Buyer’s financing or closing shall be paid for by Buyer. 6. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. In the event that Buyer defaults hereunder for a reason other than the default of the City, City shall retain the deposit as liquidated damages as its sole remedy. In the event City defaults under this Agreement, and if Buyer is not then in default hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to pursue specific performance and the City agrees it shall not invoke any sovereign immunity defense nor any defense based upon its status as a City, municipality, body politic or the like. Buyer at all times may elect in substitution for any other remedies available under this Agreement, as its sole remedy, the right to a return of its deposit. 7. RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss or damage to the Premises by fire, eminent domain, condemnation, or otherwise, until transfer of title hereunder, is assumed by the City. The Premises is to be delivered in substantially the same condition as of the date of this Agreement unless otherwise stated. In the event City is not able to deliver the Premises as stated, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit without interest, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, or Buyer may elect to close hereunder and receive an assignment of any applicable insurance proceeds payable to the City relating to such loss or damage. 8. PROPERTY SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS.” Buyer acknowledges that Buyer will have an opportunity to inspect the Premises, and to hire professionals to do so, and that Premises will be sold “as is, where is” and “with all faults.” City, and its agents, make no representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy of any statement as to boundaries or acreage, or as to any other matters contained in any description of the Premises, or as to the fitness of the Premises for a particular purpose, or as to development rights, merchantability, habitability, or as to any other matter, including without limitation, land use, zoning and subdivision issues (other than City’s agreement to obtain subdivision approval as set forth in Paragraph 10 of this Agreement) or the environmental, mechanical, or structural condition of the Premises. Acceptance by Buyer of the Deed at closing and payment of the purchase price shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge by the City of every agreement and 9 of 45 obligation contained herein except as set forth in the Lease, if executed by the parties, and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. 9. ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, costs, or expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’, and experts’ fees incurred in investigating, defending, settling, or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding, that may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Buyer or the City and relating directly or indirectly to the violation of or compliance with any federal, state, or local environmental laws, rules, or regulations governing the release, handling or storage of hazardous wastes or hazardous materials and affecting all or any portion of the Premises, except to the extent that such a claim results directly from the City’s release, handling or storage of hazardous wastes or hazardous materials on the Premises. This duty to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless shall be included in a covenant in the deed and shall run with the land conveyed and be binding upon Buyer’s successors, assigns, and transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the longer of the Lease term or the period in which the City occupies the Premises, the City shall be responsible for complying with all applicable state, federal and municipal environmental obligations, laws and regulations. 10. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING. It is a condition precedent to Closing that: a. The City shall obtain subdivision approval by the City of Portland Planning Board, in order to obtain approval for the creation of the parcel which constitutes the Premises, unless the City as Seller and Buyer agree in writing, such subdivision approval is not required (hereinafter the “Subdivision Approval”). b. In the event the City is unable to obtain the Subdivision Approval prior to the Closing Date, as defined below, then the Buyer may either (1) extend the Closing Date set forth in Paragraph 11 by a time period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days to permit the approvals to be obtained or (2) elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the later of the scheduled Closing Date or the expiration date of any extension period based on an extension as provided above. In the event Buyer shall elect to so extend the Closing Date, the City agrees to make reasonable efforts to pursue the Subdivision Approval. c. If Buyer shall elect to terminate this Agreement then the City shall refund the Deposit, if previously paid, without interest, and this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, unless the parties mutually agree to 10 of 45 extend this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the City is acting as Seller, and not in its regulatory capacity, in connection with this Agreement. The delivery to Buyer, and acceptance and recording by the Buyer of a deed to the Buyer of the Premises, will evidence conclusive and final consent by the Buyer to the waiver or completion of all these conditions. 11. CLOSING. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. The closing shall be held at the offices of Buyer’s counsel or Buyer’s Lender’s counsel at a time agreeable to the parties on or before the day that is the later of five months after the Effective Date of this Agreement or thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; (ii) the deadline for the City to resolve any title, Survey or environmental objections; or (iii) the date to which Buyer elects to extend the Closing Date under Paragraph 10 (the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, City agrees to close on a date earlier than that specified above upon Buyer’s request at least 10 days prior to Closing. At the Closing: a. City shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer a municipal quitclaim deed conveying to Buyer good, insurable title to the Premises at standard rates, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except as otherwise set forth herein. b. Buyer shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to any adjustments set forth in section 2 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, reduction by the Rent Credit, to the City by wire transfer (or as otherwise reasonably requested by the City); and c. Each party shall deliver to the other such other documents, certificates and the like as may be required herein or as may be necessary to carry out the obligations under this Agreement, and for the Buyer to obtain owners and lenders title insurance at standard rates in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and to Buyer’s lender. d. Buyer shall deliver evidence, reasonably satisfactory to City’s Corporation Counsel, that the entity receiving title to the Premises is in good standing under Maine law, and that the individuals acting with respect to the Closing and executing documents on behalf of Buyer are authorized to do so. e. City shall deliver to Buyer a copy of all City Council Orders approving this Agreement and authorizing the City Manager or other City officials to execute this Agreement, the deed, the Lease, and any other documents necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Agreement. f. Except as otherwise provided in section 2(b), the parties shall execute the Lease. 11 of 45 12. BUYER’S POST CLOSING OBLIGATIONS; ESCROW AGREEMENT. Buyer agrees as follows: a. Buyer agrees at Closing (and only upon Closing) to deposit $50,000.00 to be held in escrow (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in form mutually acceptable to Buyer and City with a mutually acceptable escrow agent. b. Buyer agrees to commence development of a project at the Premises in substantially the form described in the portion of the plans depicting the Premises that are attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference, and which project was presented to the City’s Economic Development Committee on or about July 19, 2017 (the “Project”), within one (1) year after the later of the end of the term of the Lease or the last date of the City’s occupancy of the Premises (the later of the two such dates hereinafter is referred to as the “City’s End Date”). The Project shall be deemed to be "in substantially the form described in the portion of the plans depicting the Premises that are attached hereto as Exhibit B" if it proposes to include (or is constructed to include): (i) multiple separate spaces, which may have separate or shared access to the street; (ii) one large central space of a size and for a use to be determined; and (iii) an emphasis on rental affordability. The Project may also be modified in a manner that is reasonably necessary for Buyer to obtain City Planning board, City Council or any other municipal or other necessary approval, and the Project, if otherwise "in substantially the form described in the portion of the plans depicting the Premises that are attached hereto as Exhibit B" shall, notwithstanding any such modifications, continue to be so considered. In addition, if Buyer determines that interest rates or community demand for the use of the Premises change such that Buyer wishes to make changes to the Project, or if Buyer wishes to make other changes to the Project, Buyer shall request the City’s approval of such changes. c. Buyer’s commencement of development of the Project shall be effected by Buyer or its successors, assigns, or transferees submitting a site plan review application (an “Application”) for the Project within one (1) year after the City’s End Date. d. If Buyer does not submit an Application for the Project (which Application may include modifications as described above) within one (1) year of the City’s End Date, then $10,000.00 shall be released from escrow to the City’s Housing Trust Fund, and until an Application has been filed, an additional $10,000.00 shall be released from escrow to the City’s Housing Trust Fund each ninety (90) days thereafter. e. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of an Application for the Project, the remaining balance of the Escrow Account shall be released to Buyer. If no Closing takes place under this Agreement, the Buyer shall 12 of 45 not be required to fund the Escrow Account nor make any payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the event that a Closing on the sale of the Premises to Buyer under this Agreement takes place and Buyer fails to submit any Application for the Project within the later of 5 years from the Closing Date or 4 years after the City’s End Date, the entire remaining balance of the Escrow Account shall be released to the City’s Housing Trust Fund. f. City hereby agrees that despite the references in this Agreement to Buyer as the developer with respect to the Project, that the Project will be undertaken by a different Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) to be formed, or corporation to be formed, which will be an assignee of Buyer, and the City hereby consents to the same and consents to Buyer’s assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any such LLC or corporation, provided that Thomas Watson will be a manager or co-manager of any such LLC and President or Vice President of any such corporation. g. The provisions of this section shall survive closing. 13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire and complete Agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, between the parties with respect to the acquisition or exchange of the Premises hereunder. This Agreement cannot be amended except by written instrument executed by City and Buyer. 14. NON-WAIVER. No waiver of any breach of any one or more of the conditions of this Agreement by either party shall be deemed to imply or constitute a waiver of any succeeding or other breach hereunder. 15.

WHEREAS, Tenant has recently conveyed to Landlord certain property located at or about 44 Hanover Portland Street in Portland, Maine and wishes to continue to occupy and use such property; and WHEREAS, Landlord has sufficient right, title and interest in and to the real property and has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement in respect thereto, and is willing to have Tenant occupy and use the 44 Hanover Street property on the terms and conditions set forth herein; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually agree as follows: 1. Premises. Tenant, as of the date of this Lease, exclusively occupies certain land and a building or buildings located at or about 44 Hanover Street, Portland, Maine (hereinafter the “Building”) (the land and Building are referred to herein as the “Premises”) as generally depicted on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. Landlord does hereby agree to lease, demise, and let the Premises unto Tenant, subject to the access and parking easement benefitting the owner of the property located at 55 Portland Street (the “Access Easement”), which easement is depicted on Exhibit A. Tenant shall have no authority to modify or make any substantial changes (whether cosmetic, structural or otherwise) to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. 2. Term. The initial term of this Lease shall commence ________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and terminate _______________, 2019 (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided herein, or extended as provided herein. The Initial Term together with any Renewal Term (as defined herein) are referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Term.” In the event Tenant shall continue in occupancy of the Premises after the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (as defined herein), such occupancy shall not be deemed to extend or renew the terms of this Lease, but occupancy shall, at the option of the Landlord, continue as a tenancy at will from month to month upon covenants, provisions, and conditions herein contained, and at the rent in effect prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as 21 of 45 defined herein) whichever last occurred, increased by twenty five (25%) percent, prorated and payable month to month on the first day of each month for the period of such hold-over occupancy. This paragraph shall not be deemed or construed as giving the Tenant any right to hold over after the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term thereof. 2.1. Renewal. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, at the request of the Tenant, the Term of this Lease may be renewed for one (1) three (3) month extension (which such extension hereinafter will be referred to as the “Renewal Term”) subject to and conditioned upon Landlord’s written consent, and provided that the Tenant is not in default of the terms of this Lease prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and provided that Tenant gives Landlord at least three (3) months’ notice in writing of its request for a Renewal Term. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. The Renewal Term shall commence the day following the expiration of the Initial Term of the Lease. If the Tenant exercises its option to renew Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, or its designee, rent on the terms described in Paragraph 4 below at the new rental rate for the Renewal Term as set forth in Paragraph 4. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to the Premises during the entire period in which the Tenant occupies any part of the Premises (hereinafter the “Occupancy Period”) including, without limitation, for the entire Term of this Lease (and any Renewal Term if applicable), all costs and expenses with respect to utilities as set forth in this Lease Agreement. 3.

Landlord, by its initials here: ______ acknowledges receipt of the Rent Credit in the amount of $____________. Tenant agrees that the agreement to pay rent in advance is a substantial inducement for Landlord to purchase the Premises at the purchase price set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and 22 of 45 accordingly, all of the rent paid and credited at Closing, including, without limitation, the Rent Credit, shall be non-refundable. b. Rent During Renewal Term.

If none of the agents or appraisers proposed by Tenant are acceptable to Landlord, Landlord may request an appraisal from Landlord’s agent which shall be averaged with one from an agent or appraiser selected by Tenant from the three proposed by Tenant to determine the then market rental rate. c. Renewal Term Rent Payments; When Due. Rent during the Renewal Term (and rent for any time period for which rent is not fully paid in advance at the Closing on the sale of the Premises) shall be payable in advance the first day of each and every calendar month during such Renewal Term (and any other applicable period during which rent is due) and rent payments shall be made to the Landlord’s manager, Port Property Management, 104 Grant Street, Portland, ME 04101 or such other address as Landlord shall in writing direct.

Upon receipt of a tax bill from the City of Portland, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount due and Tenant shall pay said amount within 30 days of receipt of such notice. In the event that the Term of the Lease is due to expire prior to the end of the six month tax period that is the subject of such a tax bill, the amount Tenant is required to pay shall be prorated accordingly. b. Utilities. Tenant shall also be responsible for paying all the costs of all utilities servicing the Premises during the Initial Term of this Lease and any Renewal Term, including but not limited to electrical, gas, water, sewer, heat and air conditioning (together with all other HVAC expenses), internet, cable and telephone. Tenant shall also be responsible for payment of all 23 of 45 stormwater fees and stormwater service charges due to the Portland Water District or City of Portland, as well as any other assessments or fees against the Premises by the City of Portland, Maine or the Portland Water District.

Tenant shall not do anything to cause nor permit the Premises nor the activities therein or thereon to violate any municipal, county, state or federal law, ordinance or requirement, and shall promptly act upon direction of any officer of competent authority. 8. Responsibility for Repairs and Maintenance; Tenant’s Acceptance Of Premises In “As Is” Condition. a. Maintenance and Repair. Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises and does hereby accept the Premises and Common Areas in their present “AS IS” condition as of the Effective Date. During the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain and make any reasonably necessary repairs to the Premises at its sole expense. b. Capital Repairs. Tenant hereby warrants and represents that it has inspected the Premises and that it knows of no capital repairs that are presently necessary. The term “Capital Repair” is agreed to mean the repair or replacement of a major component or structural part of the Premises and shall also include the rebuilding of a major component or structural part of the Premises after the end of its useful life. Based on the information acquired in its inspection, together with its historic use of the Premises, Tenant represents that it has no actual knowledge that any Capital Repairs will be required during the Initial Term or if the Lease is renewed, during any Renewal Term. In the event any Capital Repairs to the Premises are reasonably necessary during the Term and Tenant does not wish to make such Capital Repair at Tenant’s sole expense, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or not to make, such Capital Repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that whenever it determines that it is reasonably possible to make a temporary repair or patch and defer the need for a Capital Repair, it shall make such temporary patch or replacement. In the event Landlord elects not to make any Capital Repairs, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation to make such repairs at its own expense. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that even if Tenant determines it is unable to occupy the Premises due to the condition of the Building or the 24 of 45 Premises, all of its rent payments shall continue to be non-refundable even if Tenant determines that it could occupy the Building or the Premises if a Capital Repair was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event of a casualty loss or event (hereinafter “Casualty”) causing material physical damage to the Premises or Building for which there is insurance coverage as determined by the insurer issuing the applicable policy of insurance, that subject to and conditioned upon any requirements or conditions imposed by Landlord’s lender (including, without limitation, any restrictions or conditions on disbursement of insurance payments or proceeds), funds paid by an insurer with respect to such Casualty shall be released to fund the cost of a Capital Repair resulting from such Casualty, upon such terms as shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and provided that Landlord shall not be required to make any payment of any kind toward such Capital Repair. 8.1 Improvements/Alterations. No improvements or alterations to the Premises which materially change or alter the Premises shall be made without Landlord’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Any request by Tenant for such approval shall be submitted with written specifications and drawings reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All improvements made to the Premises by Tenant must be done in accordance with all local Building codes and ordinances and all applicable State and Federal statutes and regulations, and Tenant must obtain all necessary permits prior to commencing improvements. Tenant shall promptly pay for any and all trades furnishing services and/or alterations to the Leased Premises. With the exception of any of Tenant’s removable property, including without limitation, all of its personal property and trade fixtures, any and all property left by Tenant in the Leased Premises shall become property of the Landlord at the expiration or termination of Tenant’s tenancy. A list of trade fixtures which are owned and controlled exclusively by Tenant and which Tenant shall remove at the end of the Term or when Tenant vacates the Premises, whichever shall be earlier, is attached as Exhibit B. 9. Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, promptly observe and comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, requirements, orders, directives, rules and regulations of the federal, state, and county and city government. 10.

Tenant shall maintain occurrence based General Liability Insurance, which shall include liability insurance with respect to automobiles, trucks and other motor vehicles, in the amount of $400,000 per occurrence for causes of action pursuant to the Maine Tort Claims Act, and the policy for such insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate evidencing such General Liability Insurance coverage prior to execution of this Lease. Tenant 25 of 45 shall be responsible for covering its personal property with such property and casualty insurance as it deems reasonably necessary and shall provide Landlord with documentation of such policies of insurance or self-insurance prior to execution of this Lease. Landlord shall not be responsible for any damage to Tenant’s personal property except for damage caused by Landlord. Claims brought by Landlord against Tenant for damage to the Premises, that are not covered by an insurance policy, and are the result of Tenant’s use and/or negligence, and not resulting from the Landlord, its employees, subcontractors, or others using the Access Easement to access the property at 55 Portland Street, shall be Tenant’s responsibility to repair or reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to that reasonably necessary to return the Premises, to substantially the same condition in which they were at the start of this Lease. This provision shall not be deemed a waiver of any defenses, immunities or limitations of liability or damages, available to the Tenant under the Maine Tort Claims Act, other Maine statutory law, judicial precedent, common law, or any other defenses, immunities or limitations of liability available to the Tenant. For the purposes of this Lease, an insurance claim will be deemed to be “not covered by an insurance policy insuring Tenant” if such claim is denied by the insurer issuing the policy against which the claim is made. b. Glass. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cleaning, maintenance and replacement of plate glass and other windows located within the Leased Premises and is advised to obtain insurance coverage with respect to damage thereto. Tenant agrees to repair promptly any damage to such glass and windows at its sole expense. Tenant shall not be responsible for damage to glass or windows caused by Landlord, its employees or subcontractors, or others using the Access Easement to access 55 Portland Street. Any such cleaning, maintenance and/or repairs shall be to return all glass and windows to substantially the same condition in which they were at the start of this Lease. c. Workers Compensation. Tenant self-insures for workers compensation coverage and shall provide Landlord with evidence of its self-insured status. d. Property and Casualty Insurance. Landlord shall procure and maintain such Property and Casualty insurance as it deems reasonably necessary in regard to the Premises, and Tenant shall pay Landlord upon execution of this Lease for annual premiums in an amount up to and including ten thousand dollars ($10,000). Such coverage shall be in form and amount to coverage as commonly written for comparable buildings. In the event that the Term of this Lease exceeds the term of Landlord’s Property and Casualty insurance policy, Tenant shall pay landlord for applicable premiums within 10 days of Landlord’s request for such payment. Any deductibles and/or retentions in an amount higher than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) shall be subject to approval by Tenant. Tenant shall be named an additional insured on such policy for coverage only in those areas where government immunity has been expressly waived by 14 26 of 45 M.R.S. A. § 8104-A, as limited by § 8104-B, and § 8111. This provision shall not be deemed a waiver of any defenses, immunities or limitations of liability or damages available to the Tenant under the Maine Tort Claims Act, other Maine statutory law, judicial precedent, common law, or any other defenses, immunities or limitations of liability available to the Tenant. e. Pollution Liability Insurance. Tenant shall procure and maintain premises pollution liability insurance in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord considering Tenant’s use of the Premises as a vehicle maintenance garage and fueling station in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, for the Term of this Lease, or if the Occupancy Period ends later than the end of the Term, then, for the entire Occupancy Period, naming Landlord as an additional insured thereon. The pollution liability insurance policy (hereinafter in this sub-paragraph referred to as the “Policy”) shall provide at least such coverage as is commonly written for buildings comparable to the building(s) located on the Premises and uses comparable to Tenant’s use of the Premises. The Policy shall provide liability coverage on a claims- made and reported basis which covers claims first made against or by an insured and reported to the Insurer, during the policy period. The Policy shall also provide coverage for remediation costs which covers pollution conditions first discovered and reported to the insurer during the policy period. Tenant shall include in the pollution coverage of the Policy, conditions emanating from storage tanks (including gas and oil tanks) on the Premises. Tenant additionally agrees to purchase a so-called “tail” or extended reporting period coverage (hereinafter “Tail Coverage”) for at least a one-year term in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord that provides coverage for claims pursuant to said Policy. The Tail Coverage shall, at minimum, extend the period for reporting claims under the Policy for at least a year after the expiration of the Occupancy Period. Tenant agrees to procure and submit for Landlord’s review a certificate of insurance and binder for the Policy and Tail Coverage at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of this Lease Agreement as well as such other documents detailing the proposed terms of coverage as Landlord shall reasonably request. Tenant further agrees that the Policy shall be in full force and effect upon commencement of the Term. f. Self-Insurance, Large Deductibles and/or Retentions. Tenant is solely responsible for all deductibles and or retentions on any insurance policies required by this Lease, and agrees to pay all deductibles and retentions with respect to any such policies. Any coverage required by this Lease for which Tenant chooses to self-insure shall be the responsibility of the Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay any covered claims for which it chooses to self insure. g. Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant shall procure waiver of subrogation on any insurance policies required under this Lease in which it is able to do so. Tenant agrees that it shall waive subrogation with respect to any matters for which it self-insures, 27 of 45 including, without limitation, worker’s compensation insurance. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s general liability insurance coverage shall not include a waiver of subrogation. Landlord may choose to either waive subrogation or list the Tenant as a named insured in lieu of waiving subrogation under its property and casualty insurance policy. h. Notice. All of the insurance policies in which the Tenant or Landlord are an additional or named insured under the terms of this Lease shall, contain a clause that the insurer shall not cancel or reduce the coverage of the insurance without first giving Tenant, Landlord and any mortgagees of Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. 10.1 Tenant’s Responsibilities. a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby agrees to assume all risk of injury, harm or damage to any person or property (any such injury, harm or damage hereinafter is referred to as a “Liability Event”), including but not limited to all risk of injury, harm or damage to Tenant's officers, agents, employees, contractors, customers and invitees (all of whom hereinafter are referred to as “Tenant’s Affiliates” in the plural or as a “Tenant Affiliate” in the singular) or to any of their property, arising out of, during, or in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Premises from Landlord, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or any other use by Tenant of the Premises (all such risks are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Assumed Risks”), but only to the extent (i) any such Liability Event is a result of actions or omissions by Tenant, one of Tenant’s Affiliates or any other person or entity for whom Tenant may be liable and (ii) is a negligent act or omission, an intentional act which is not a discretionary function, or an act or omission for which Tenant is liable under the Maine Tort Claims Act. Such Assumed Risks do not include injury, harm, or damage caused by (1) any act or omission of Landlord, its officers, agents, employees, contractors or anyone else for whom Landlord may be liable except Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate, or (2) any act or omission of any third party who is not a Tenant Affiliate utilizing the Access Easement. Tenant’s obligations hereunder are subject to and limited by the defenses, immunities and limitations of liability available to the Tenant under the Maine Tort Claims Act, 14 M.R.S.A. § 8101 et seq, and other applicable law. b. Tenant and Landlord agree that, subject to Landlord’s right to enforce the terms of this Lease and to terminate this Lease as provided herein, and except to the extent that the Access Easement is used by others, Tenant shall have during the Term until the later of the expiration of the Lease, the earlier termination of the Lease, or when Tenant vacates the Premises, full control over the Premises (including, without limitation, all buildings or structures located on the Premises, including, without limitation, the Building and any parking lot, or walkways or other grounds located on the Premises) and shall be solely responsible for all maintenance and repairs to the Building and Premises except as expressly set forth in this Lease. 28 of 45 c. Covenant against liens: Tenant shall not cause nor permit any lien against the Landlord’s property or the Premises or any improvements thereto to arise out of or accrue from any action, omission or use thereof by Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant may in good faith contest the validity of any alleged lien. In the event Tenant contests such lien, upon the request of the Landlord, Tenant shall post a bond approved by the court in which such lien claim is pending or if not yet pending, a court with jurisdiction over such lien, warranting payment of any such lien. If Tenant does not contest a lien, it shall pay off and cause the discharge of any such lien within twenty (20) days of its recording. If a court or other proceeding is commenced, Tenant shall cause such lien to be “bonded off” to Landlord’s satisfaction within forty-five (45) days of commencement of such proceeding. Should Landlord be subjected to any claim(s), suit(s) or lien(s), including, without limitation, any claim(s), suit(s) or lien(s) relating to any mechanic’s lien claim for any services or materials associated with Tenant’s improvements or alterations to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from all damages and costs (including any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord) arising out of or relating to any such claim(s), suit(s) or lien(s), and shall pay any and all costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in defense or prosecution of such actions within ten (10) days of demand by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to comply with the foregoing requirements regarding liens shall constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. 10.2 Environmental Compliance. During the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period, the Tenant shall be responsible for complying with all applicable state, federal and municipal environmental obligations, laws and regulations (hereinafter collectively “Environmental Laws”) and taking all necessary steps to prevent any violation of any such Environmental Laws. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of the costs and expenses relating to any violation of Environmental Law regarding any Hazardous Material (as defined below), substance or waste which comes on, which comes from or affects, the Premises during the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period, or which is hereafter placed upon or under the Premises at any time during the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period (including, without limitation payment of all fines, penalties or the like, as well as the costs of removal and remediation) including, any and all losses, damages, suits, penalties, costs, liability and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable investigation, laboratory fees, environmental audit and legal expenses) arising out of any claim for loss or damage to any real or personal property or to person(s) including the Premises, injuries to or death of person(s), contamination of or adverse effects on the environment or any violation of statutes, ordinances, orders, rules or regulations of any governmental entity or agency, caused by or resulting from any Hazardous Material (as defined below), substance or waste which comes on, which comes from or affects, the Premises during the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period, or which is hereafter placed upon or under the Premises at any time during the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period. Tenant’s obligations under this paragraph do not apply to any violation of Environmental Laws or claims resulting from the actions or omission of Landlord, its employees, subcontractors, or others using the Access Easement to access the 29 of 45 property at 55 Portland Street. This paragraph is only intended to govern Tenant’s actions during the longer of the Term or the Occupancy Period of the Lease and does not apply to Tenant’s ownership of the Premises. The term "Hazardous Materials" or “Hazardous Material” as used in this Lease Agreement includes but is not limited to any and all substances (whether solid, liquid or gas) defined, listed, or otherwise classified as pollutants, hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, extremely hazardous wastes, or words of similar meaning or regulatory effect under any present or future State, Federal or municipal environmental law, regulation or ordinance including but not limited to any such law, regulation or ordinance relating to petroleum or petroleum products, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, radon, radioactive materials, flammables or explosives.

Assignment/Subletting. Tenant shall not sublet all or any portion of the Premises, nor sublease, transfer or assign this Agreement or the rights granted hereunder at any time during the Term of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. No such assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any obligations hereunder, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, including, without limitation, with respect to payment and any person accepting such assignment shall take the Agreement subject to all prior breaches and shall be liable therefore in the same manner as Tenant. 12. Casualty Damage. a. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other unavoidable casualty so that the same shall be thereby rendered unfit for use, then, and in such case: (i) if such fire or unavoidable casualty occurs during the Initial Term, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease; or (ii) if such fire or unavoidable casualty shall occur following the expiration of the Initial Term and during the Renewal Term or any other term, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease. Such right of termination, if available, shall be exercised by giving the other party written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, and upon the giving of such notice, the Term of this Agreement shall cease and come to an end as of the earlier of the date Tenant fully moves out of the Premises or the expiration or earlier termination of the then application term of the Lease. Upon the date Tenant fully moves out of the Premises, Tenant’s obligation to pay utilities shall end, except for such charges for utilities as shall have accrued prior to the date of move-out. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Lease Agreement, Tenant shall not receive any rent refund or credit for such early termination of the Lease or for any early move out, but Tenant shall not be obligated to continue to pay rent due if the Lease is so terminated during any Renewal Term. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree no rent shall be 30 of 45 refunded to Tenant upon such termination (or under any other circumstance) and that the Rent Credit shall be permanently retained by Landlord. b. Tenant shall be responsible for covering its equipment and supplies with such property and casualty insurance as it deems necessary and Landlord shall have no responsibility therefor. Tenant assumes all risk of damage, loss or casualty to its property, equipment and/or supplies while located at the Premises, whether it is owned or leased by Tenant. 12.1 Condemnation.

Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord with respect to any such taking or condemnation. In the event that a substantial portion of the Premises itself is taken or condemned, both Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon giving notice in writing ten (10) days in advance of proposed termination date. Notwithstanding any such condemnation, taking or termination, no rent shall be refunded to Tenant, and all rent shall be permanently retained by Landlord. 13. Default; Termination. a. This Lease is made on the condition that if the Tenant shall fail to pay any rent or any other monetary obligation to Landlord within five (5) days of its due date, or fail to perform any other obligation to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, or in case of an obligation that cannot with due diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, fail to proceed within said thirty (30) day period to commence to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the performance of such obligation with due diligence and within a period of time that under all prevailing circumstances shall be reasonable or if Tenant shall violate or fail to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Lease and such failure to comply or violation of this Lease shall reoccur or continue after written notice of such violation from Landlord, or if the estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or other process of law, or if Tenant shall be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or if Tenant shall file bankruptcy, or if an involuntary bankruptcy shall be filed against Tenant which shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days, or if the Tenant shall hold over at the termination of the Lease as herein provided, then and in any of said cases, notwithstanding any license or any former breach of covenants or waiver or consent in former instances, the Landlord lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter, without prior demand or prior notice whatsoever, (a) terminate this Lease by notice in writing which termination shall be effective immediately or at Landlord’s election on a date stated in said notice; (b) with or without process of law, enter into and upon the leased Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same; and (c) expel the Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant and remove its effects (together with any third parties’ property) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preventing a breach of covenant, and upon entry as aforesaid, all rights of Tenant hereunder shall terminate; and Tenant covenants that in case of such termination, Tenant will during the remainder of the then-current term or any Renewal Term pay to Landlord on the last day of each calendar month the difference, if any, between the rental, and other monetary obligations of Tenant, which would have been due for such month had there been no such termination and the sum of the amounts being received by the Landlord from occupants of the leased Premises, if 31 of 45 any. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay the Landlord, as damages for any above-described breach, all costs of reletting the Leased Premises including, without limitation, real estate commissions, costs of advertising, costs of damage repair, cleaning, costs of renovation of the Premises to suit a new tenant, and costs of moving and storing Tenant’s personal and trade fixtures. b. Legal Fees and Expenses. (i) Tenant further agrees to pay and indemnify the Landlord against all reasonable legal costs and charges, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Legal Expenses”) incurred by Landlord if Landlord prevails in a civil action to obtain possession of the leased Premises (including, without limitation, in any forcible entry and detainer or eviction action). (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such Legal Expenses within ten (10) days following the entry of a final judgment and the passing of any applicable appeals period in such civil action. c. Surrender. Upon any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all Rent due under this Lease Agreement which has not yet been paid to Landlord. The Rent Credit shall remain nonrefundable and shall be permanently retained by Landlord. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for incidental, special, or consequential damages of any nature claimed as a result of the breach of any term of this Agreement or termination of this Agreement. d. Termination for Convenience. Tenant may terminate this Lease for its convenience upon no less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Landlord.

Upon such notice, the Landlord and its representatives, agents, or employees, may enter the Premises. 15. Signs.

Tenant shall pay any and all costs associated with any such signage approved by Landlord. 16. Zoning. 32 of 45 It is the responsibility of Tenant to determine all zoning information and secure all necessary or required permits and approvals of its proposed use of the subject Premises. Landlord makes no representations or warranties as to the suitability of, or the ability to obtain regulatory approval for, the subject Premises for Tenant’s intended use. 17. Self-Help. In the event of a dispute between Tenant and Landlord, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold all or any part of the rental payment then due unless and until a forum of appropriate jurisdiction has so ruled. The acceptance of a check by the Landlord for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, to the effect that such lesser amount constitutes payment in full shall be given no effect and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. 18. Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the foregoing, the covenants and agreements of the Landlord and Tenant shall run with the land and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of them and their respective successors and assigns, but no covenant or agreement of Landlord, expressed or implied, shall be binding individually upon any LLC manager or member nor any fiduciary nor any trustee or beneficiary under any trust. 19.

Port Property Management Executive Summary 52 Hanover, LLC in partnership with Port Property Management and Tom Watson & Company (the “Sponsors”), propose to redevelop the property located at 52 Hanover Street, previously owned by the City of Portland. We are looking to create a new multipurpose building including four (4) 2,000 SF commercial retail spaces and one hundred and seventy-one (171) apartment units. Included in the 171 units would be seventeen (17) or 10% workforce rental units restricted at or below 100% of the Area Median Income (AMI) level and regulated under the City of Portland’s Inclusionary Zoning. The remaining one hundred and fifty-four (154) or 90% will be traditional market rate rental units. The Sponsors’ goal for the project and new development is to create a truly unique mixed- use rental property in the City of Portland that provides a significant increase in the number of available rental units. In addition, this project continues the momentum and builds on the goals of redeveloping the Bayside neighborhood into an improved, vibrant environment for Portland citizens. Lancaster Court Parris Street Financial Plan The Sponsors will raise $10 million in private investment funds along with an additional $40 million in bank financing through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Public Benefits Our mixed-use concept will provide a number of public benefits. The Portland City Council cited housing as the #1 goal in their 2020 Goal Setting Summary. “#1. Increase access to rental and home ownership that is safe, affordable, and accessible.” 40 of 45 52 Hanover, LLC. Port Property Management Public Benefits (con’t) Portland’s Comprehensive Plan has many policy statements that support exactly this type of development. Specifically, the Plan calls for City action to produce housing and “Reinforce the Center”. Two specific goals apply: More specific to the Bayside neighborhood, the 2000 “New Vision for Bayside” called for additional density and housing in West Bayside: “The Bayside Plan will fill in, extend and enhance the existing residential fabric with a substantial amount of new housing units.” The following themes illustrate how this project is positioned to achieve community objectives and goals. • First major residential housing project since 2017 The City has set a goal of constructing 256 new rental units per year. There are very few residential market rate and/or workforce apartment buildings being built in the City of Portland due to the high costs of construction. The last large apartment building project built in the City of Portland – the Hiawatha – was completed over three years ago. There are currently over 13,000 market rate rental apartments in the City of Portland, with a vacancy rate of an estimated 2%. In order to create market equilibrium, where tenants and landlords equally share in negotiating rates, the City of Portland would need its vacancy rate to reach 6% (per historic standard). To make that happen today, an additional 540 apartments would need to be built. This project is a huge step towards that equilibrium. 41 of 45 52 Hanover, LLC. Port Property Management Public Benefits (con’t) • Wide-ranging mix of new apartments including 17 affordable units The property will have broad appeal to tenants of various demographic and economic backgrounds. It will contain a diverse mix of apartment sizes and styles ranging from 400 square foot micro-units to 1,400 square foot townhouses. Thirty-seven (37) studios, ninety-seven (97) one-bedrooms and thirty-six (36) two-bedrooms are included in the plan. In addition to the rental units, we will be creating two (2) levels of parking with one hundred and sixty-six (166) parking spaces. The project will provide much-needed affordable housing in the City of Portland with its broad range of unit types and the corresponding variation in rental prices. Additionally, by adding 17 new workforce rental units this project adheres to the intent of the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance– which was to add units, not fees in lieu. It will also be the single largest aggregation of workforce units within a market rate project in history of the City of Portland. • Development of a residential presence in a commercial-heavy neighborhood The Property currently sits as a large, vacant steel framed warehouse with significant updates needing to be made. The neighborhood consists of various small businesses and larger companies including Bayside Bowl and the United States Post Office. Housing creates a 24/7 presence in the neighborhood. The proposed new building will create a unique residential opportunity in this neighborhood, create a vibrant community in West Bayside, and serve as a catalyst for change in the neighborhood from primarily commercial tenants to residential living. Additionally, we anticipate a number of the 52 Hanover courtyard commercial tenants to be daytime venues (ex. Coffee shop, café, lunch spot). • Development of a new “destination” in Portland with the creation of new courtyard This project will create a welcoming and new courtyard space in the Bayside community between 82 Hanover and 52 Hanover. Currently 82 Hanover is 100% leased with 3 pub/eateries located on “Lancaster Court”, each with substantial outdoor patio space abutting a 10’ wide bike/ped running from Hanover to Parris Street. The shops at 52 Hanover will have similar sized patio spaces running from the building façade to the bike/ped path creating a vibrant walkable courtyard. The new commercial spaces, along with their outdoor patios, will create an inviting and exciting open community space which will spur an essential dynamic shift in the neighborhood. 42 of 45 52 Hanover, LLC. Port Property Management Public Benefits (con’t) • Design for future density This is a unique location in the City of Portland to develop density and increase housing. The site is 1.3 acres and is located within the Bayside Height Overlay District, allowing for increased density. In terms of accessibility, the property’s location lends itself to reducing downtown traffic. Those living in this neighborhood can easily walk, bike and car share to downtown Portland for work or leisure. The property is also ideal given its proximity to 295 Northbound and Southbound. • Road map of successful public/private partnership as a model for future housing development This project has a strong history of partnership between the private Sponsors and the City of Portland. o The property was sold by the City of Portland in a public bidding process to the Sponsors for their winning bid o The City of Portland received over $1.2 million in market rate proceeds from the Sponsors. o The property was leased back to the City of Portland’s DPW until its Canco Road facility was finished. o The Sponsors extended the lease for an additional two months at no cost to the City in order for the Portland Fire Department to host their new-recruit physical ability testing. o The Sponsors have devoted substantial financial resources towards the environmental clean-up of the contaminated site. Completed activities include the removal of underground gas tanks and above ground pump stations. Next Steps The 52 Hanover Street project represents an opportunity to take a creative and collaborative approach to a challenge we all acknowledge – housing availability. This site is an ideal location to bring a large volume of apartments to the rental market in an expedited time frame. Excluding the renter household incomes of those in Portland already receiving housing assistance, the median renter household income is $57,022 to $61,000– often referred to as “the missing middle”. The new units being proposed for 52 Hanover would serve this population. Increasing the volume of apartments in this segment of the market will have countless positive impacts including more choice for tenants and more incentives for landlords to improve the quality of their properties and services. We look forward to working with the City of Portland to continue our partnership and leverage this opportunity, and our experience, to create housing for Portland’s renters. 43 of 45 52 Hanover, LLC. Port Property Management APPENDIX A - 52 Hanover: Continuing the Evolution of West Bayside In large part because of the City of Portland’s efforts to capitalize on Bayside as an area of potential growth, including the sale of City-owned property, the Bayside neighborhood has seen significant improvements in many of its area buildings. For example:  Schlotterbeck & Foss – This property was converted from a food production plant to 56 residential units.  195 Lancaster Street – A vacant, unused brick building will now be the home of Two Fat Cats bakery.  Bayside Bowl – Previously a city works building has become a vibrant and busy bowling center and restaurant.  Century Tire Plaza – A former auto repair show has now become home to several small business including Orange Theory and Chipotle.  82 Hanover – Another city works building that is fully leased to 12 commercial tenants including restaurants, breweries and office users.  55 Parris – A vacant parking lot is now 23 owner occupied condominiums.  Kennebec Street – Another dirt parking lot currently being converted into 55+ housing.  65 Hanover – A public works building converted into shared office space and event space.  Fork Food Labs – A vacant brick building that was made into a shared kitchen space. 44 of 45 52 Hanover, LLC.

At the December 16, 2019 meeting of the City Council, the Council authorized staff to move forward with the disposition of these properties and requested staff investigate options to maximize housing development potential and recommend preferred disposition approaches, working with the Economic Development and Housing Committees (Resolve 10-19/20). During the joint Economic Development and Housing Committee meeting held on March 4, committee members passed motions authorizing staff to issue RFPs for the three properties. The RFPs were issued on April 7 with an opening date of June 16. This memo highlights the key points from each RFP as it applies to the three City-owned properties. Committee members may wish to make a recommendation to the Economic Development Committee when EDC reviews and discusses the RFPs during their July 21, 2020 meeting. Abutters within 500 feet of each property received a public notice. The notice included a reference to both this Housing Committee meeting (July 8) and the Economic Development Committee meeting on July 21. Staff acknowledges the public notice for this Housing Committee meeting was distributed late. There will be an opportunity for public comment at the July 21 Economic Development Committee meeting. The Housing Committee will review and provide input to the Economic Development Committee regarding the proposed housing types, affordability, etc. The Economic Development Committee will review and provide staff direction on the real estate transaction. 389 Congress Street Room 312 • Portland, Maine 04101 207- 874- 8711 mpd@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov 21 Randall Street Two proposals were received for the disposition and development of 21 Randall Street.

The proposal is for a 3 story 12 unit building providing five (5) one-bedroom, (5) two-bedroom, and (2) three-bedroom units. All of the units would be reserved for families whose income is between 60-120% AMI. The breakdown of the units by AMI level was not provided. All four of the first floor units would be designed and built to ADA or Type-A standards. There would be shared access laundry on the first floor. The site would provide twelve dedicated parking sites, bicycle racks, and a pocket park. The project would request supplemental funding in the form of; low income housing tax credits (LIHTC), Brownfield Closeout Funds and, local Housing Trust Funds. The amount of the funding requests was not provided. Volunteers of America and Avesta Housing have expressed an interest in being the occupant and manager of the building at completion. The development schedule is based around the issuance of a Tax Credit Award by MaineHousing. Construction is expected to begin in June 2021 and be completed by May 2022. The total development budget is approximately $3.2 million. Financial proforma includes a $7,500 purchase price for the city-owned property. • Greater Portland Community Land Trust is requesting conditional rezoning to allow for density and use of space requirements as set forth in the R6 Zone. GPCLT has submitted two proposals. The first proposal (aka Back Cove Row Houses) is for seven 2½-story row houses providing seven (7) three-bedroom units. The second proposal (aka Back Cove Flats) is for thirteen one-level homes with five (5) one-bedroom units and eight (8) three-bedroom units within a 3-story building. Using the Community Land Trust model, homeowners would enter into a long-term ground lease with GPCLT who would retain ownership of the land. The ground lease contains a deed restriction which would limit the price of the unit when resold, preserving the affordability of the dwelling in perpetuity. Each unit would be individually owned (with a fee simple title) within a homeowner association. GPCLT plans to sell the units to households in the 80% to 120% AMI level. The breakdown of the units by AMI level was not provided. Projects will 389 Congress Street Room 312 • Portland, Maine 04101 207- 874- 8711 mpd@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov meet ADA guidelines. Each unit would provide washer/dryer hook-ups. The site would provide seven dedicated parking sites, bike storage, shared communal green space, and gardens. Proposed project 1 (Back Cove Row Houses: 7 three-bedroom units) would request supplemental funding in the form of; MaineHousing Community Solutions Grant ($100,000), Brownfield Closeout Funds, other grant or subsidy loan ($564,000) and, Housing Trust Fund ($88,000 to be returned to the City in twelve to fourteen months). Proposed project 2 (Back Cove Flats: 13 one-level homes) would request supplemental funding in the form of; MaineHousing Community Solutions Grant ($100,000), Brownfield Closeout Funds and, Housing Trust Funds ($400,000 to be returned to the City in twelve to fourteen months). GPCLT, with assistance from Coastal Enterprise Inc.’s Home Buyer Education Program, would play an active role in helping lower income buyers qualify for mortgage financing and would help negotiate with lenders to see that appropriate mortgage financing is available to these homebuyers. GPCLT would also provide a variety of training and support services (such as financial management, HOA governance, and basic maintenance) to households once they have become homeowners. Construction is expected to commence no later than March 1, 2021 and be completed by late 4Q 2021. The total development budget for proposal 1 (Back Cove Row Houses) is approximately $2.3 million, and $3.4 million for proposal 2 (Back Cove Flats). The Greater Portland Community Land Trust (GPCLT) is proposing the City of Portland transfer ownership of the Randall Street property to GPCLT at a minimal cost of $1.00. As a 501(c)(3) GPCLT does not expect to pay taxes on the land, however, the individual units will be taxed at an assessed value that takes into consideration the deed restriction placed on each unit. 43 & 91 Douglass Street Two proposals were received for the disposition and development of 43 & 91 Douglass Street.

The proposal is for a 40-unit rental building, a 30-unit condominium building, and the potential development of 10 single-family homes. The rental and condo 389 Congress Street Room 312 • Portland, Maine 04101 207- 874- 8711 mpd@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov structures will be 3-story, elevator buildings. The 40-unit rental development will have efficiencies, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units (the bedroom mix was not provided). There will be six ADA or Type A compliant rental units. All 40 units will be affordable for households at or below 60% AMI. The 30-unit condo building will include one and two-bedroom units (the bedroom mix was not provided). 24 units will be affordable for households earning 120% AMI and the remaining 6 units will be market rate. The potential 10 single-family homes would include garages and 450sf of accessory dwelling units for additional housing options. The homes would be sold at market rate. The campus site would provide a community room for use by residents, local community groups or organizations. The site would contain 50 dedicated parking sites, 16 on-street parking sites, bike storage, community garden, and a patio. Avesta Housing HomeOwnership Center would provide homebuyer classes and free credit, financial and budgeting capabilities counseling to individuals and/or families. The 40-unit rental building would request supplemental funding in the form of low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) from MaineHousing, and an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (AHTIF) from the City. The cost of environmental remediation was not noted as requiring subsidy funding. The 30-unit condominium building and 10 single-family homes are not subject to the timeframes of federal financing. Therefore, it is expected that construction could begin during the summer of 2021. The condominiums would be ready for occupancy in the summer of 2022. The 40-unit rental building would use MaineHousing financing which is cyclical in nature; financing would be secured within approximately one year of selection. Construction would then start approximately nine to twelve months from the date financing is secured, anticipated during summer/fall of 2022. The building would be ready for occupancy in spring of 2024. The 30-unit condo development budget is approximately $6.9 million. The 40-unit rental building development budget is approximately $11 million. The 10 single-family homes with accessory dwelling units has a development budget of approximately $5 million. The financial proforma includes a purchase price for the city-owned property of $575,000. Upon acquisition, either the land would be subdivided, or a land condominium would be formed. The campus would include two or three land units (“Land Unit X”) based on the development proposal selected by the City. Land Unit 1 would be owned by Avesta Housing for the purposes of developing a 40-unit affordable rental property. Land Unit 2 and Land Unit 3 would be owned by Jack Soley and Tim Hebert / Hebert Construction. The land associated with Unit 2 would be for purpose of the development of a 30-unit condominium, and Land Unit 3 will be retained for the potential development of single-family homes. • The Szanton Company and Maine Cooperative Development Partners are requesting a zone change to allow for density and use of space requirements as set forth in the R-6 Zone. The proposal is for a 4-story 56 unit apartment building with 28 one-bedroom, 17 two-bedroom, and 10 three-bedroom units. Forty of the fifty-six units would be affordable to households earning 50% (16 units) to 60% (24 unit) AMI. The remaining sixteen units would be market rate. Also on-site would be three 3-story buildings with 12 units each (total of 36 units), and four 2-story building with 4 units each (total of 16 units). These 52 units would be Limited Equity Ownership homes (i.e. Co-op). Together the Co- 389 Congress Street Room 312 • Portland, Maine 04101 207- 874- 8711 mpd@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov op units would contain eighteen (18) one-bedroom, twelve (12) two-bedroom, and six (6) three-bedroom units plus 16 three-bedroom townhouses. Co-ops would be affordable to households earning 60% (14 units), 80% (17 units) to 100% (21 units) AMI. Eighty-five percent of the total units would be affordable for households earning between 60% and 100% of AMI. Affordability restrictions on Limited Equity Co-op units would be permanent, and for the apartments, the longest period allowed by law, secured by covenants. The Co-op buildings would contain community rooms. The Apartments would have a fitness room, community room, bike storage room, and an on-site resident services coordinator and property manager. The site would contain 81 dedicated parking sites with a covered parking/bike parking structure, a community garden, and potential food forest and EV charge station. Cooperative Development Institute would manage the Co-op, help cultivate community cohesion, and would ensure implementation of the permanent affordability provisions. The Co-op ownership structure is a Limited Equity Cooperative as defined in Maine State Law, meaning that residents rent from an entity that they co-own. This type of cooperative is democratically owned and operated similar to a condo structure, but allows for a wider range of income affordability, as residents do not have to qualify for a mortgage. Resident-owners pay a share price similar to a small down payment, then have a monthly payment similar to rent or mortgage. The Co-op itself holds the mortgage for the property, and over time, the homes become more affordable as expenses increase only with actual expenses - there is no profit motive. New residents must meet income requirements, and monthly costs must not exceed 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) income bands. These rules continue in perpetuity. The apartments would be managed by Saco Falls Management. The 56-unit rental building would request supplemental funding in the form of low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) from MaineHousing, and an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (AHTIF) from the City. The 52-Co-op units would request supplemental funding in the form of an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (AHTIF) from the City, Housing Trust Funds ($400,000), MaineHousing Community Solutions Grant ($400,000), and GPCOG and EPA Brownfield Funds (up to $750,000, if needed). The 56-unit rental building would use MaineHousing financing which is cyclical in nature; financing would be secured within approximately one year of selection. Construction would then start during the summer of 2022. The building would be ready for occupancy in spring of 2023. The Co-op development would begin construction during the summer of 2022, and be ready for occupancy in summer 2023. The apartment development budget is approximately $14.1 million. The Co-op development budget is approximately $15.7 million. The financial proforma includes a purchase price of $475,000 for the city-owned property. 165 Lambert Street Maine Cooperative Development Partners is requesting a contract zone (or a judgment by the planning board that the co-operative structure would classify the homes as Multifamily under the Zoning Ordinance). Alternatively, the project should also work as an R-3 or R-5 PRUD (which would require a form-factor change of some or all homes from single-family style to duplex style). The proposal, a copy of which is attached, is broken into two phases. Phase one is for 20 single family homes. Phase two is for 26 single-family homes. Each 389 Congress Street Room 312 • Portland, Maine 04101 207- 874- 8711 mpd@portlandmaine.gov • www.portlandmaine.gov home would be 1,250 sf and would contain three bedrooms and two baths. One hundred percent of the homes would be permanently affordable to households earning between 60% and 100% AMI. The project would be structured as a limited-equity housing co-operative (“Co-op”) under the Maine Cooperative Affordable Housing Act (13 M.R.S. §§ 1741, et seq.) which is specifically designed to create permanently affordable housing. The site design offers access to existing trails by creating green space and pathways connecting transit, trails, and sidewalks while also preserving the existing wetlands and open space for wildlife. The site also offers the potential to create community center resources for the neighboring community if the Co-op and the City can agree on an appropriate partnership. The Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) would be responsible for the creation of the cooperative ownership and management structure and ensure implementation of the permanent affordability provisions. Andy Reicher, executive director of UHAB, which manages 25,000 units of limited equity cooperative housing in New York City, would be a consultant to CDI to set up a structure to train future residents in managing their buildings, and using lessons learned and management fees to seed future cooperative ownership projects. The project would be a limited equity cooperative, meaning that residents rent from an entity of which they are an owner. This type of cooperative is democratically owned and operated similar to a condo structure, but allows for a wider range of income affordability, as the share price is low and residents do not have to qualify for a mortgage. The construction loan becomes a long-term loan paid by the association. Resident-owners pay an up-front share price similar to a down payment, then have a monthly payment similar to rent or a mortgage based on the actual operating costs of the property. New residents must meet the income requirements, and monthly carrying costs must not exceed 30% of the income bands based on Area Median Income (AMI). These rules continue in perpetuity. Phase 1 (20 single-family homes) would request supplemental funding in the form of an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Financing (AHTIF) from the City, local Housing Trust Funds ($200,000) and, a MaineHousing Community Solutions Grant ($200,000). Phase 2 financing was not provided. Construction would then start during the summer of 2022. Homes would be ready for occupancy in fall of 2022. The phase 1 development budget is approximately $7.4 million. The phase 2 development budget was not provided. The financial proforma includes a purchase price of $0.00 for the city-owned property. With only one proposal received for this project, the review team did not score the proposal.

In response to the RFP issued for affordable housing on the lot at 21 Randall Street we are proposing to build a 3 story 12 unit building providing a mix of 1 BR, 2 BR and 3 BR units. All of the units will be reserved for families whose income is between 60-120% of AMI. The building we have designed can accommodate families just starting out to families in their golden years. With ample space in each unit and each floor offering a variety of unit sizes this building offers maximum versatility in its response to the public need. All four of the first floor units will be designed and built to ADA standards allowing for any one or all of the 1st floor units available to families with disabilities. As designed we are offering a mix of unit sizes with (5) 1 bedroom units, (5) 2 bedroom units, and (2) 3 bedroom units. The building will be served by a single egress stair centrally located that provides access to both the front of the building along Illsley and the rear of the building parking lot. There will be a shared access laundry facility within the building on the 1st floor. The site affords the development with enough parking spaces for a 1:1 ratio, allowing each unit to have a dedicated parking space, a luxury not always available for infill developments. Unit interiors have been designed to provide the best features of open concept living with galley kitchen open to the dining and living spaces. The unit interiors will be provided with contemporary finishes selected as much for aesthetics as performance. Units will be provided with Luxury Vinyl Plank floors, and energy star rated appliances. These layouts and interior finish selections provide a variety of configurations within each unit allowing the individual tenants to decorate and accent through furniture and finishes of their choosing. 2 The site plan we have provided has offers several benefits to the occupants of the building and neighborhood. These included an onsite pocket park, dedicated parking for every unit, bicycle racks, and a conscientious landscaping package offering the beauty of a landscaped site with low maintenance and drought tolerant plant selections. In addition we have maintained the Portland Water easement access by using that land as the driveway. The parking lot as been designed in the rear of the building to conceal it from view and provide an added level of security to the owners of the vehicles. The building’s size and shape is consistent with those common in the neighborhood. The building will be designed as a rectangle; however the elevations will be provided with setbacks allowing for a graceful transition of siding types. As you will see from the locus map and images of nearby buildings – our proposed building will be of similar design and proportion common in the neighborhood. The site is well situated for family housing as an urban infill development. Located near Back Bay, Payson Park, The Presumpscott Elementary School, and walking distance to downtown via the back cove trail it offers several conveniences within a few minutes’ walk. There is a bus stop no more than a 5 minute walk from the front door, allowing easy access to the public transport network. In summary the benefits and features of the building we are presenting are as follows: - (12) Income restricted units from 60 – 120% AMI. - (4) Ground floor units that are ADA compliant and accommodate single story living for seniors who struggle with stairs. - Units that are open to all levels of income, even those below 60% AMI should the individuals prove their ability to pay the rent. - A balanced distribution of unit offering between 1 bedroom units and 3 bedroom units designed to allow for open living space and multiple configurations. - Onsite parking concealed behind the building and out of the public eye line. 3 - An onsite pocket park. - Low maintenance and drought tolerant landscaping. Team Ducas Construction Inc is the development team proposing the project. Ducas Construction Inc. (DC) is a southern Maine based Construction Manager & Developer that develops builds within all sectors of the commercial market in Maine and southern New England. Led by Patrick Ducas, the DC Team is staffed with an acquisition & development coordinator, project managers, construction estimator, and field team that execute complicated and multi-faceted projects on time and within budget. With significant experience in the multi- family housing market, DC has the knowledge base and experience to oversee the development, tax credit and syndication, design, procurement and construction of this project from concept to completion. DC’s has a proven track record of successfully steering projects through the planning board process for re-zoning and sub division approval. DC has also been a team member on projects that have used LIHTC as a source of funding and has been a key contributor to the success of those projects. For this project our alliance with the end user will make this project a very strong candidate and likely recipient for the award of tax credits. 4 A few representative projects are: - 415 Cumberland Ave – The re-development of a 15,000 GSF commercial office building into 10 market rate apartments. Ducas Construction acquired and managed the re- zoning and sub division approval process before selling the permitted building off. Ducas Construction performed the construction for the new owner 415 CA LLC. - 175 West Elm Street – The purchase of a defunct 2 unit complex in Yarmouth ME. Patrick Ducas dealt with Yarmouth in the re-zoning and “contract zone amendment” to allow for the property to remain a multi-family project despite its lot size not meeting current zoning standards. Significant improvements were made to the building exterior, systems and unit interiors to create market rate rental units. - DC At The Downs – Ducas Construction acquired the land, and has taken the project through planning board approval for the construction of a new multi-tenant flexible office/industrial space within the Innovation District of The Downs in Scarborough. 5 Acorn Engineering, Inc. is a Portland-based civil and environmental engineering firm of nine full-time employees and four construction inspectors. Acorn’s team has a diverse portfolio providing Maine with quality engineering and environmental services as well as state-wide construction administration on behalf of the Maine Department of Transportation. A cornerstone of Acorn Engineering is the attention to quality and exceptional level of service on every project, regardless of size. Our engineers and scientists pride themselves on their extensive experience, which is backed by a broad knowledge of civil and environmental engineering practices from smaller residential projects to larger commercial projects that integrate environmental assessment and site redevelopment. Acorn Engineering has demonstrated the ability to breakdown and synthesize widely disseminated regulations into accepted engineering practices and practical site assessment and development. As a result of Acorn’s efforts, the Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District recently recognized Acorn as the Contractor of the Year. This was the first award associated with the nationally recognized Long Creek Restoration Project and the first time the Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District ever recognized an engineering firm as their Contractor of the Year. Acorn’s expertise covers the areas of: civil/site design, evaluation, development, and permitting; and construction phase services such as construction administration, construction documents, project bidding, and site inspection including erosion and sedimentation control. Acorn’s experience also includes the field of environmental engineering and compliance such as: Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, soil and groundwater remediation planning and design; Maine’s Voluntary Response Action Program (VRAP); and stormwater treatment system design and permitting. Acorn’s engineers have designed, permitted, and overseen construction on numerous single- family and multifamily residential projects including traditional subdivision designs featuring on-site sewage/septic disposal and drilled wells. Furthermore, Acorn has demonstrated extensive experience and capabilities with municipalities, the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP), soil & water conservation districts, conservation commissions, municipalities, and the private sector on environmental and site development projects as demonstrated by the following: • Listed on Maine DEP’s Pre-Qualified Vendor List for Environmental Consulting Services • Listed on Maine DOT’s Pre-Qualified Consultants for eight service areas (listed under Section I.D) • Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District Contractor of the Year for work on the Long Creek Restoration Project 6 • Public Works Redevelopment – Meeting House Hill Over the past two years, Acorn Engineering has worked in close association with the City of South Portland, neighbors, and private clients on the re- development of the former Public Works facility. The 6-acre site is nestled in the middle of the Meeting House Hill residential neighbor- hood and is currently a mix of storage buildings, fuel fill stations, miscellaneous stockpiles, and pavement. The site will be redeveloped into a mix of multifamily townhomes and single-family dwellings comprising 38 units along with a public park and community gardens. In addition to the environmental remediation, Voluntary Response Action Program (VRAP), and other environmental considerations given the previous land use, the project is subject to a Maine DEP stormwater management law. The redevelopment design results in a reduction in impervious area of over 50% and reduces land use intensity across the site. Though not required, several stormwater BMP’s have been implemented into the site as a best practice, further attenuating and treating stormwater runoff. In addition to the significant redevelopment plan, Acorn has designed an infrastructure plan to separate the storm and sewer mains. This will include installing 400 feet of new storm drain along the existing O’Neil Street right-of-way and 700 feet of new storm drain along the proposed O’Neil Street right-of-way extension. Overall, this effort will reduce the effects of combined sewer overflows (CSO) into Casco Bay which occur due to wet-weather events and the wastewater treatment plant’s inability to provide capacity for both storm and sanitary sewer flows. As part of this project, Acorn held a multitude of meetings with the City including the assistant City manager, the former Mayor, the entire planning division, and the chief engineer of Public Works. Furthermore, Acorn has collaborated with department heads of the Fire, Parks, Public Works, and Water Resource departments to ensure a feasible and ideal project for all parties. As a result, the process was truly a collaborative effort with a number of stakeholders weighing in on the design. 7 • Munjoy Heights Acorn provided civil/site engineering and permitting for the design of Munjoy Heights – a six townhome, 29- unit development on the steep slopes of Munjoy Hill in the City of Portland. Acorn designed and developed construction drawings for the sanitary sewers, storm drains, water mains, driveways and pedestrian circulation, retaining wall locations, building locations, and drainage infrastructure to be built in compliance with City standards. A key component to the project was coordinating with the City on the future combined sewer separation project and the site’s overall stormwater management. Additionally, discussions with neighbors and stakeholders were paramount in the project’s success. The innovative urban infill project compliments the Munjoy Hill neighborhood with a communal design and plentiful native landscaping that replaced invasive species which previously dominated the eroding banks prior to the development. The $22 million project features a courtyard, terraced landscaping, a Portland Trails-maintained path that connects the redevelopment to the existing trail system, and low impact development (LID) techniques that meet MDEP Chapter 500 regulations. The stormwater management includes an underdrained sand filter and chambers that detain and treat stormwater on site in tandem with strategically placed rain gardens. The project required extensive coordination and collaboration between the client, City of Portland, Portland Trails, the structural engineer, the architect, and the contractor to successfully complete the project with the first “woonerf” in the state and maintaining the existing public walking path through the property. 8 • 200 Valley St Working with Avesta Housing, Acorn Engineering provided civil engineering and permitting for Avesta’s 60-unit project in the St. John Valley neighborhood. This urban infill project replaces the existing single-family house and abutting vacant lots into new affordable housing opportunities with two levels of covered parking, amenities, and a rebuilt project frontage with new sidewalks, street trees, and bicycle hitches. As part of the project, Acorn developed a transportation and parking analysis to ensure that the provided parking will adequately serve the redevelopment. Furthermore, the design team identified and implemented multiple strategies to encourage residents to efficiently utilize the many modes of transportation available on the Portland peninsula. • Little Dolphin Drive & Jocelyn Place In collaboration with the South Portland Housing Authority and Risbara Holdings, Acorn provided civil engineering design and permitting of a multi-use subdivision at the end of Little Dolphin Drive in Scarborough. Proposed uses include a two-story office building and a three-story 60-unit senior housing facility with associated parking and landscaped areas. In addition to a voluntary neighborhood meeting, the project went through a 3-step master plan phase with the Town of Scarborough in which the project was collaborated on with Planning Staff, the Planning Board, and neighbors. The project is subject to Maine DEP and US Army Corps permits. To adequately treat stormwater on the site, Acorn has designed multiple stormwater BMPs meeting Maine DEP Chapter 500 regulations resulting in a low impact design. 9 • 89 Anderson Street In collaboration with Redfern properties and the East Bayside neighborhood, Acorn developed the civil/site engineering design of a mixed use 53-unit redevelopment of an existing under- utilized, urban infill lot in the East Bayside neighborhood. Acorn’s scope of services included in the initial phase applying for and obtaining a zone change and conducting Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments to evaluate potential environmental contamination at the site. After conducting the environmental remediation efforts, Acorn developed the site layout and design of sanitary sewers, storm drains, water mains, site driveway, retaining wall locations, building locations, parking lot design, building drainage structures, utility connections and landscaping plan (with a landscape architecture subconsultant) to meet the City of Portland Technical Standards. Acorn also integrated sidewalk and improvements associated with the project into the City’s Anderson Street ByWay project. Furthermore, the project team worked with a non-profit organization, the Telling Room, to provide public art along the Fox Street streetscape in lieu of traditional fencing. Overall, the project established an important mixed use building on a prominent corner lot adjacent to Kennedy Park which contains popular recreation space. The building houses a restaurant and the Gear Hub bicycle school on the first floor with residential apartments above which encourages an active street presence with housing, goods, and services that help tie the neighborhood together and keep eyes on the street. 10 RYAN SENATORE ARCHITECTURE RYAN SENATORE ARCHITECTURE Information and Qualifications 11 RYAN SENATORE ARCHITECTURE Ryan Senatore Architecture is a full service architectural firm providing clients with design services for a broad range of project types, including: new construction, additions, renovations and adaptive re-use of existing structures.

The building design process began with an extensive analysis of the Architecture of the existing historic neighborhood. The proposed building is a contemporary design that responds to existing neighboring buildings through scale, texture and rhythm. YARMOUTH PUBLIC SERVICES MAINTENANCE FACILITY The town has outgrown its existing facility located at North road, the proposed new facility will serve the Public Works department and the Transportation function of the School Department. The design team held programming workshops with both departments to determine their current and potential future needs to develop the working program for the facility. This program served as the basis for both schematic site and building plans. The resulting design takes advantage of the sites solar orientation and natural grading to improve both energy efficiency and operational efficiency. WORK 14 RYAN SENATORE ARCHITECTURE MUNJOY HEIGHTS Munjoy Heights is a 29 unit urban residential condominium development perched upon Portland's Munjoy Hill. The high performance building's take advantage of passive solar energy with large expanses of southwest facing glazing which open the living spaces up to an abundance of natural light and views toward Back Cove and the mountains beyond. WORK 15 Readiness, Financing & Schedule Our team has the availability and capacity to start on this project as soon as award is made. Our Civil Engineers have a clear understanding of what is needed to submit for the contract zone amendment needed, and with confirmation from Portland’s finance department that they are willing and able to assist with this process we understand that is the 1st step. At the same time our Development coordinator will work with RSA architects to develop a submittal package to Maine Housing for 2021 QAP submission deadline for fall 2020. Typical with most low income developments, this project requires the injection of outside funding to help make up the difference between interest payments and a restricted income stream. This project is targeting (3) sources supplemental funding in addition to a standard construction loan: the first being revenues from syndicating low income housing tax credits, the second being a grant from the Brownfields Closeout Fund for site cleanup, and the third being a possible grant from the Housing Trust Fund. In order to achieve/win these sources of funding our team has the past experience and understanding of what is needed to submit and secure funds in this competitive process. Enclosed you will find a letter from Gorham Savings Bank pledging their support to our development of this project. In addition you will find e-mail correspondence from Volunteer’s of America expressed interest in being the occupant and manager of the building at completion. In conclusion we believe we have a very strong team and project for consideration – a seasoned and experienced development, architectural, civil and construction team, with identified sources of funding, and expressed interest in the project. A clearly defined project scope and target occupant mix. Interest from 2 proven operators and management agencies with a portfolio of local low income housing assets. 16 Our success on this project will not be from lack of knowhow, vision or ability – the fate of this project lies in its ability to secure the supplemental funding to make it possible. We believe our submission will score highly in the Maine Housing review process making it a top contender.

PROPOSAL Description of the Project The GPCLT Back Cove Homes project targets the “missing middle” and helps families achieve home ownership of an exceptional quality at a substantial discount (30%-45%) from market rate. While the 80%-120% AMI selling price represents the upper band of the affordable housing limits, it does so without requiring the typical subsidies (like affordable housing tax credits, or other Federal and State assistance) while minimizing the cost to the City of Portland; and will surpass most market rate projects in quality of construction, site planning, and finishes. The GPCLT is focused on achieving five objectives to achieve design and construction of affordable housing on the 21 Randall Street parcel: GPCL’s 5 Objectives 1. Urban Design: Improving the fabric of the community 2. Environmental Sustainability: Materials, energy use, renewable energy, high quality build (200+ year longevity). 3. Minimize TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): Quality of construction minimizes the expenses over the lifetime of ownership 4. Affordability: Keep Initial Cost down by low land costs, no developer profit, and private grants 5. Exceptional Design: Aesthetically pleasing, efficient workable floorplans, neighborhood fit Schemes In response to the Request for Proposal issued by Portland for the disposition of City owned land at 21 Randall Street, The Greater Portland Community Land Trust (GPCLT) is offering two possible scenarios: 1. Back Cove Row Houses - Seven row houses, each with three bedrooms (each ~1280 SF) on the 13, 956 SF parcel. Parking spaces for 7 vehicles are located on the 3,956 SF lot that has a water/sewer easement. The GPCLT board and membership initiated the 7-row house design because it would be very attractive to young, larger/intergenerational families; fit in with the neighborhood well; and 3 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST provide a very pleasing streetscape. Based on an analysis of building and soft costs and discussions with general contractors and lenders, the project would not be would not be able to be built without an additional ~$500,000 grant or subsidy. For Drawings of 7 row house option see Attachment A 2. Back Cove Flats - The second concept, a thirteen-unit condominium consisting of eight 3-bedroom units (each ~1280 SF) and five 1-bedrooms (~ 620 SF) provides six additional units versus the row house plan option. It offers one-story living, and a diversity of household size to better meet the goals of affordable housing. The neighborhood is a mix of PHA’s Front Street housing, multi-units and single- family homes. GPCLT is committed to making Back Cove Flats an attractive addition to the neighborhood and appropriate to the neighborhood context. Based on an analysis of building and soft costs; and discussions with general contractors and lenders, a multi-unit condominium concept is financially viable. Our proposal is for individually owned units within a homeowner association. While each owner would have a fee simple title to their row house or condominium, the land on which the row houses/flats are situated would be owned by the Greater Portland Community Land Trust (GPCLT). The project would have a 99-year renewable ground lease with GPCLT that would contain deed restrictions and require a minimal fee to lease the land. Note: The 7-row house scheme was the initial desire of the GPCLT’s board and membership. This concept is very appealing in trying to achieve cost savings of a larger unified structure yet provide a feeling of single- family homes. As we continued to work through the details of costs with General Contractors there was not confidence that the project costs could be brought down to where they needed to be to succeed financially. Part of this calculus is the number of units. Each unit would have to carry the cost of essentially similar soft costs for either a 7 unit or 13-unit project. That allocation is cut in half with 13 units. Michael Belleau volunteered a considerable amount of time and effort in creating the drawings and renderings for the 7-unit row houses which you see as part of this submission. The 13 unit design is of a similar footprint but adds a full 3d level. It is a very similar form factor. Although the concept is worked out, we are not including drawings as this will be completed by a paid architect if we are awarded the Randall Street parcel. Zoning Change The project proposes a higher density than allowed under current R-5 Zoning (4 units) and requires the lots to have a Conditional Rezoning to R-6. This is in alignment with the City’s goals of increasing housing supply and creating housing that is more affordable. R5 zoning excludes the ability to build affordable housing on this particular parcel. 4 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST While our project proposes higher density in this East Deering Neighborhood, it does so with great sensitivity and design compatible with existing character of the area and would be below the maximum of nineteen units allowable under the R-6. For Photographs and Maps of Site and Area see Attachment B Limited Equity: Ground Lease and Deed Restriction to ensure long term affordability Using the Community Land Trust model, homeowners would enter into a long-term, ground lease with GPCLT who would retain ownership of the land. The ground lease contains a deed restriction which would limit the price of the unit when resold, preserving the affordability of the dwelling to families with average incomes in perpetuity. Residences can only be purchased as primary residences. They cannot be an investment property or rented out for short-term periods. Greater Portland Community Land Trust plans to sell the units to households in the 80% to 120% AMI level .

FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY Budget & Financing GPCLT has put together a Capital Stack that will allow for the successful completion of our vision for 13 units in Back Cove Flats. To successfully execute on the 7-unit row house concept requires being rewarded a $400- $550,000 grant which to date has not been secured. GPCLT feels that this is possible, but it most likely would negatively affect the project timeline.

While each owner would have a fee simple title to their unit, the land on which the units are situated would be owned by the Greater Portland Community Land Trust. The project would have a 99-year renewable ground lease with GPCLT that would contain resale restrictions and require a minimal fee to lease the land. The ground lease contains a deed restriction which would limit the price of the unit when resold, preserving the affordability of the dwellings forever in the future, to households of average incomes. The terms of the ground lease will give the homeowners the rights of homeownership, but also impose certain key restrictions on the use and resale of the homes within the context of an established Homeowner Association (HOA) model. As the ground lessor, the Greater Portland Community Land Trust will retain a right of first refusal in order to ensure affordability. When a homeowner wants to sell, GPCLT may assign the option to another income qualified household or oversee the sale of the home directly to another income-qualified household for a price not exceeding the purchase option price formula. In its role of overseeing the resale of affordable homes, GPCLT will make sure that the buyer is income-eligible and that the price does not exceed the limit established by the resale formula. Management Plan GPCLT, with assistance from Coastal Enterprise Inc.’s Home Buyer Education Program, will play an active role in helping lower income buyers qualify for mortgage financing and will help negotiate with lenders to see that appropriate mortgage financing is available to these homebuyers. GPCLT will also provide a variety of training and support services (such as financial management, HOA governance, and basic maintenance), to these households once they have become homeowners. The costs incurred by the GPCLT in carrying out this work will be defrayed in part by the lease fee that is collected, and will also be defrayed by a mark-up of the resale price or transfer fee added to the price paid by the new homebuyer. Greater Portland Community Land Trust will work with the Home Owners Association to establish a monitoring and enforcement program for compliance with the requirements of the ground lease that respects their privacy while preserving affordable homes as long-term assets for future generations of homeowners. Upon turnover of the project to the HOA, GPCLT shall present management options that would include self- management, accounts management, and full professional management in order to ensure proper functioning of the project and adequate reserve saving to ensure long term viability. For Operating Budgets see Attachment F 7 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST Purchase Price The Greater Portland Community Land Trust (GPCLT) is proposing that the City of Portland transfer ownership of the Randall Street property to GPCLT at a minimal cost of $1.00. The financial feasibility of our proposal is premised on a donation of land to Greater Portland Community Land Trust to develop our affordable housing project. As a 501(c)(3) GPCLT does not expect to pay taxes on the land, however, the individual units will be taxed at an assessed value that takes into consideration the deed restriction placed on each unit. Marketing The GPCLT is marketing this project with a focus on Portland residents, especially teachers, nurses, EMT’s, Fire and Police, Municipal and County employees, and workers at NGOs. We currently have interest from 17 different families and expect significantly more interest if the GPCLT is awarded the parcel at 21 Randall Street. GPCLT marketing will explicitly encourage diversity of persons of all races, genders, ages, creeds, and places of origin. 8 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST OVERVIEW OF RFP SCORING 1. Proposed Use to Achieve the City of Portland’s Goals Market Demand 20 Points All the homes in GPCLT’s proposal will be sold between 80% and 120% AMI. GPCLT will sell the units at the lowest possible price. The project is focused on home ownership for the missing middle. The GPCLT is achieving affordability by (1) eliminating profit (2) Donation of Land from the City (3) Smart design (4) Volunteer efforts of its members. (5) $100K MHA Community Development Grant Economic Diversity 10 Points The Back Cove Flats project is designed to attract economic and social diversity through its mix of 1BR and 3 BR units; low cost of utilities and maintenance; proximity to parks and amenities; inclusion of gardening space and bike storage that allows a family to live without a car or with only one vehicle. The interior layouts are designed to lend themselves to greater flexibility in living situations. For instance, the 1 BR units are designed to easily allow a young couple to remain in the unit even after having a child. They are generously sized, have 1.5 bathrooms and have a raised platform bedroom to allow for significant storage space. This allows for the space to continue to accommodate a couple as they progress through different phases of their life. The 3 BR units can accommodate larger families from 4-6 people and the choice to offer 3-bedroom homes is intended to encourage larger families who otherwise find it challenging to find appropriate, quality homes at an affordable cost. Age Inclusive 10 Points The unit designs in either GPCLT design option accommodate people at any stage of life who wish to become homeowners. From young families to middle age families or retired couples, this project will allow 7 or 13 families priced out of Portland a chance at home ownership. The mix of 1- and 3-bedroom units in the 13-unit Back Cove Flats accommodates people from a variety of economic situations. The one floor living easily allows aging in place and five first floor, ADA accessible units permits diversity and attracts people of different ages and life situations. Both concepts’ larger units would allow for families to bring in an aging relative for multi- generational household living. 9 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST 2. Impact on Surrounding Neighborhood (25 Points Total) Project Design 15 Points The design of either option will be contextual and enhance the neighborhood by creating an attractive, active streetscape based on the proven model of beautiful row houses found around the world. Attention to aesthetics and creating an appealing streetscape instructs the design. The thirteen flat unit project would be articulated as to conform to the scale and styles of the neighborhood context. The sidewalk along the front will connect to the entry of each unit and to adjacent parking spaces on the west side. At the back, all of the homes will share a communal green space and gardens. Specifications exceed the City’s Green Building Code efficiency levels. The project will utilize environmentally friendly materials, water conserving fixtures, LED lighting, and energy star rated appliances. The exterior walls and roof will be highly insulated and in combination with triple glazed windows will create a thermal envelope approaching or meeting Passive House design criteria. These homes will assure homeowners lower utility and maintenance costs, high indoor air quality, and a safe living environment. Amenities and unit design 10 Points The project will include several amenities to enhance the lives of project’s residents and the community. Improvements to the site will include landscaping that will incorporate native plantings, rain gardens, and porous paving, and building orientation allows installation of photovoltaic panels on the south facing roof. Every unit is provided with garden space for growing vegetables and flowers and residents will enjoy secure and covered bicycle parking. The location is within walking and biking distance of most daily needs including grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, parks, and USM, UNE. The neighborhood would benefit from a new population of stakeholders committed to building and maintaining safety and prosperity within their community. As a community benefit, GPCLT is coordinating with PHA and Portland Trails to seek approval to help construct a path along the two-block utility easement through Portland Housing Authority land from Illsley Street to Back Cove. 10 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST 3. Applicant's ability to complete the project, including financial feasibility, development team experience, capacity, and timeframe for completion. (35 points Total) Readiness to proceed 15 Points The GPCLT is ready to commence working on the project immediately after being awarded the Randall Street property. The CEI pre-construction loan of $75,000 allows us to proceed hiring the General Contractor and to initiate more detailed architectural designs; begin the re-zoning process from R5 to R6; and assemble the packet for Planning Board approval. Letters of Interest and Term Sheets are secured to move forward with the project. We will need commitments from the City and MHA for $500,000 of funding. Timetable GPCLT believes the project can be completed by late 4Q 2021. This is an aggressive timeline and assumes minimal times for rezoning, planning board approval and permit issuance. A more typical time period for these events would add 2-3 months to this schedule. Construction is expected to take 9-12 months after permit issuance and construction financing final approval (contingent on pre-sales). A 4Q 2021 completion is predicated on the following assumptions: 1. The City of Portland rewards the RFP NLT (No Later Than) August 1, 2020 2. City approves Rezoning NLT October 15, 2020 3. GPCLT is able to secure Planning Board approval for Level III site plan and secure building permits NLT December 31, 2020 4. The GPCLT is able to reach pre-sales levels of 70% of the units by February 1, 2021 5. GPCLT is awarded an MHA Community Solutions Grant for $100,000 by January 31, 2021 6. The City of Portland approves $400,000 from the Housing Fund. This money is to be returned to the City within 30 days of 100% unit closings. We expect to reach 100% closings within 30 days of Certificate of Occupancy issuance. 7. Bank Financing is secured and released to allow construction to commence NLT March 1, 2021 We envision six phases to our project: Phase 0 - RFP Submission to Award and title transfer Phase 1 - Preparation phase: ~2.5 Month Duration after Award Date Major Tasks: Phase I environmental study, Brownfield funds procurement, Rezoning, City Housing Fund procurement During Phase 1, an environmental assessment would take place to ascertain if hazardous materials are present in the soil, similar to those found in the adjacent soil at the Portland Housing Authority’s Front Street project. If hazardous soils are found, GPCLT will seek funding from the State, GPCOG, and City to fully fund the 11 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST remediation of the site. Concurrently, we would survey the parcel’s legal bounds and topography and start the process of rezoning the property from R-5 to R-6. Greater Portland Community Land Trust would be working with a General Contractor and architect using a design build delivery method, to refine the design and prepare for Planning Board packet submission. Phase 2 - Planning Phase: 3-month duration Major Tasks: Level III site plan Planning Board approval, marketing of project, continuance of design work, securing MHA Solutions Grant, Phase II of Site Environmental Cleanup, permitting. Phase 3 - Financial Phase: 2-month duration Major Tasks: Finalizing pre-sales of a minimum of 70-80% of units. Units can be reserved but cannot be pre- sold until after permits are issued. Closing of Construction Loan. Phase 4 - Construction Phase: 9 -12 month duration Major Tasks: Construction of Project Phase 5 - Occupancy Phase: 1-2 month duration. Major Tasks: Certificate of Occupancy and turn-over of units to buyers. Current capacity of development team 10 points Track record of development team 10 points The development team possesses the human and financial resources to successfully execute this project. The team consists of highly experienced individual team members and companies who have strong track records of success in the different skill sets required to bring this project to fruition. GPCLT has interviewed and received proposals from three General Contractors who have a well-established track record in building affordable housing units. Wright-Ryan Construction, Great Falls Construction and Hebert Construction have worked with Avesta and Portland Housing Authority to build affordable housing projects throughout the Portland area. Once we select one of these GCs, we will work with them using the Design Build delivery method to produce affordable housing with quality construction on budget and on time. GPCLT will have the support of Coastal Enterprise Inc. (CEI) in providing technical services, pre-purchase counseling, and homebuyer education classes for home buyers. The GPCLT did not consider choosing the GC a requirement for this submission. The Board of Directors chose to wait until after submission before voting on acceptance of a GC proposal. As the GPCLT is pursuing a design build delivery method, the GCs (with input from the GPCLT) will contract with the architectural and engineering firms. All three prospective GCs are proposing established professional firms that have executed numerous projects and are well known entities to the City of Portland. GPCLT is also exploring using 12 GREATER PORTLAND COMMUNITY LAND TRUST prefabricated building technologies to create a highly efficient thermal envelope and that could reduce construction cost and increase the speed of construction. Additionally, the members of the GPCLT bring a broad background of relevant experience to guide the process.

There is a tremendous need for affordable housing in Portland and this project will help alleviate some of that housing shortage. We are excited about their plans for Randall Street, and look forward to working with them in further support of the project. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Matthew W. Early Senior Vice President MWE/ckb 38 39 Scott Vonnegut 6/2/2020 Greater Portland Community Land Trust PO Box 8223 Portland, ME 04104 Dear Scott: Thanks for sharing your new community land trust development plans of affordable housing in Portland. CEI has a long history helping new grass roots groups launch their first affordable housing projects in Maine, starting with the Community Housing Initiatives Program or CHIP in the mid-coast nearly 30 years ago in the early 1990’s. CEI has provided financing, technical assistance, counseling and education services and linkage services for non-profit groups and their homeowners or renters. Affordable housing is in short supply nearly everywhere in Maine and CEI has worked statewide with projects in Aroostook County, Washington county, mid-coast Maine, Androscoggin county, York county, and other locations. Many times, CEI has also provided risk capital in the early stages of project development to propel the projects toward a conventional construction loan closing with a bank. For the proposed project on Randall Street, CEI will be pleased to offer assistance with the following: • Upon acquisition of the site by GPCLT, consideration of up to $75,000 pre-development loan financing (pending project underwriting, this is not a loan commitment) for early stage design, permitting and marketing efforts • Free pre-purchase counseling and home buyer education classes for your potential constituents conducted by the award-winning CEI Housing Counseling staff • Early stage technical assistance in the pre-development process including budget work and help selecting the development team. • Offer of a modest technical assistance contract for continuation and deeper involvement on the above issues. You have permission to include this letter in your proposals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your group and thanks for including CEI in your project plans. Please keep me informed on the timeline and milestones.

Unlike other developments which typically are targeted to a specific demographic, Douglass Yards will embrace the idea of a democratic campus where residents of different ages, ethnicities and economic status will share the same community. Douglass Yards will comprise of a 40-unit rental development, a 30-unit condominium, and 10 single family homes. The 40-unit multifamily rental housing will have efficiencies, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and three-bedrooms ranging from 375 to 950 square feet to accommodate households of all sizes. There will be six ADA compliant rental units, beyond the minimum account required by federal law, to promote and enhance accessibility for disabled and/or older residents. All rental units will be affordable to low and very-low income households through income and rent restrictions. The 30-unit condo building will include modest one- and two-bedroom condos ranging from approximately 475 to 600 square feet. The small size of the units will assure accessible prices in perpetuity. Twenty- four of the thirty condos will be priced to be affordable to households of moderate income (120% AMI), and 6 condo units will be sold at market rate. Details of affordability, including rent, income and condo price determination, is described further in the Occupancy and Management Plan section. The 10 single family homes will be made up of 950 sf single family home with 450 sf garage and 450 sf accessory dwelling unit. BrightBuilt Home will provide homes with efficient envelopes, net zero design, sustainable materials and a GREEN construction and delivery method where materials are locally sourced and transported from a factory within 50-miles of the site. Each home will be affordable in town living for a multitude of generations. These provide income for seniors who want to age at home, middle class families, young professionals and everyone in between seeking in-town home ownership. Lower income residents, many of them recent immigrants to this country, may receive housing assistance in order to afford their apartments. As these tenants gain greater financial stability, there will be opportunities for accessible home ownership within their same familiar neighborhood. For residents that continue to attain upward mobility, our single-family homes may present a viable option with their attached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Lower income residents, many of them recent immigrants to this country, may receive housing assistance in order to afford their apartments. As these tenants gain greater financial stability, there will be opportunities for accessible home ownership within their same familiar neighborhood. For residents that continue to attain upward mobility, our single-family homes may present a viable option with their attached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Avesta Housing HomeOwnership Center provides home buyer classes and free credit, financial and budgeting capabilities counseling to individuals and/or families. These services will be offered to future Douglass Yards residents whether they may be buying a condo as the entry into home ownership or may be an existing resident who has the desire 10 04 PROPOSA L (CONT.) to transition from the rental housing into home ownership. For those individuals that meet the criteria, the home buyer classes have the added benefit of providing a $3,500 MaineHousing Advantage grant upon completion to be used towards a down payment or closing costs. Building and Campus Features Avesta Housing, Jack Soley, and Hebert Construction are committed to efficient and sustainable design that supports the goals of the City, the climate control efforts at the State level, and creates a healthy living environment for residents. Both structures will be 3-story, elevator buildings that are complementary to each other and incorporate similar materials and design features. The community, including the single-family homes, will aim to embrace the aesthetic of surrounding neighborhood while remaining consistent with City’s planning objectives. The campus will include a several features that will benefit and enhance the lives of the residents and surrounding community. There will be a large community room that may be used by residents, local community groups, or organizations. The site will provide sufficient parking, bike storage and is within close proximity of a bus stop facilitating various transportation options. Perhaps most importantly, given the sites proximity to existing high- trafficked outdoor areas of recreation, the proposed landscaping will be extensive. It’s our intent to create a campus that not only serves as a continuation of the existing Libbytown neighborhood aesthetics but also acts as a nature-intensive gateway to the existing fields. The landscape for Douglass Yards recalls great urban neighborhoods by making the streets civic spaces where people are safe and welcome. These shared space streets are activated urban open spaces defined by trees, narrow travel lanes, sidewalks, on-street parking, and biodiverse plantings. By using the street as framework for redevelopment, Douglass Yards integrates architecture and site into a seamless expression of place. As with many Portland neighborhoods, Douglass Yards includes open spaces that work with the scale and pattern of development providing opportunities for community gardens, gathering areas, urban rewilding, rain gardens, and connectivity. While the new homes are thoughtfully buffered from the existing neighborhood with trees and understory plantings, the site is a crossroads. Sidewalks, shared space streets, trails, and a boardwalk create connections to Douglass Street, Dougherty Field, and Dougherty Field Path allowing people of all ages to benefit from and identify with this new neighborhood. As responsible stewards of the environment and community, we strive to not only create equitable and diverse housing but energy and water efficient housing that exceeds code and leverages green technology. To this end, we frequently incorporate numerous design features that reduce energy and water consumption and therefore at least partially offset our developments’ carbon footprint. Our most frequently utilized green design features are as follows: • Use of recycled-content building materials that are composed of at least 25% post- consumer or post-industrial material. Such materials include gypsum board (wall and ceiling), countertops, flooring (carpeting & resilient flooring) and acoustical panel ceilings. 11 04 PROPOSA L (CONT.) • Building materials from regional manufactures thus reducing the carbon producing transportation process while also supporting regional and local business. • Better insulation, in conjunction with efficient air exchange vehicles, that result in lower energy usage and better internal air quality. We therefore typically install large R-value insulation, well in excess of currently building code requirements. • Water-conserving fixtures – i.e. toilets, showerheads, kitchen faucets, and bathroom faucets. We find that these features, in conjunction with resident educational materials, can reduce water consumption at our properties. • High performance appliances and lighting such as energy-star rated appliances, kitchen and bathroom fans, and LED lighting in interior, exterior and common areas. • Extensive solar array. Our goal is to provide a significant portion of the energy consumption using an on-site PV system. We are exploring the possibility of creating a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) which would provide a discounted electricity rate to the residents of Douglass Yards. We believe that by incorporating an economically viable solar framework during the design and planning process, this project can become a model for future developments. Our Douglass Street development would incorporate many, if not all, of these features. Part of the impetus of choosing Kaplan Thompson Architects was their reputation as leaders in the field of sustainable building design. Their Bayside Anchor development, a certified energy efficient Passive House, has become a symbol of sustainable building practices in the greater Portland metro and beyond. With the assistance of architects on the forefront of sustainability, the design of the Douglass Street buildings and campus will incorporate many of these energy efficient design elements. Neighborhood Context A site’s history and neighborhood context should inform any new campus’ layout, site, and building aesthetics. To that end we plan to incorporate streetscape features that will allow for residents and the community at large to enjoy the new campus. First, we would construct sidewalks throughout the development so that residents of the Libbytown community can easily walk through the site on their way to the playing fields. Second, we would incorporate vehicle speed reducing features to ensure that traffic entering the campus would not travel in excess of posted limits; our sidewalks would remain safe. Third, to the extent that the City of Portland is willing and able to assist, we will advocate for increased transportation options along the Douglass Street section of Congress Street. Finally, we commit to the long-term maintenance of our facilities and site improvements. We have a proven track record of ensuring that our developments remain pristine. Our direct supervision of snow removal and other landscaping activities helps us ensure that our residents and properties are well cared for even when it snows. We are committed to ensuring everyone’s ability to use our sidewalks, even in the dead of winter. As stewards of the environment and as potential neighbors to the existing Libbytown community, we are committed to ensuring the complete remediation of environmental concerns related to the site’s prior uses. Therefore, we plan to remove problematic soils and materials and replace them with lush indigenous landscaping including grass and local flora. Furthermore, we recognize that remediation of the existing conditions and subsequent 12 04 PROPOSA L (CONT.) replacement with vegetation is not enough. We must also plan for the future and the site’s impact post-completion. With the future in mind, we have designed a robust stormwater system that will slow, collect, and mitigate the effects of heavy rain events. Our design will therefore ensure that the local neighborhood will not be adversely impacted by the addition of our buildings and pavement. Excess water will be directed away from the neighborhood and our buildings thus allowing our extensive landscaping and green space to thrive. It will remain intact for resident and neighborhood use for decades to come. Project Readiness The 30 unit condominium building is not subject to the timeframes of federal financing. Therefore, it is expected that construction could begin within nine to twelve months of selection under the RFP or approximately the summer of 2021. The timeframe between selection and construction start would only be dependent on design development and the City/State permitting processes. The condominiums would be ready for occupancy in the summer of 2022. The 40 unit building would use MaineHousing financing which is cyclical in nature; financing would be secured within approximately one year of selection. Construction would then start approximately nine to twelve months from the date financing is secured, anticipated summer of 2022. The apartment building would be ready for occupancy in the summer of 2023. ZONING & DENSITY - Dynamic Rental and Homeownership Campus The parcels on Douglass Street are currently in the R-5 zone. Under this ordinance, a PRUD development would allow for a maximum of 47 units in approximately four buildings based on the per building max of 12 units and the per square foot minimum of 3000 per dwelling unit. If the site was in the R-5A zone, the maximum of 12 units per building would not apply and there could be a total of approximately 90 units based on a minimum square footage of 1600 per dwelling unit. It is our contention that the size of parcels, and their location in central Portland, just off congress street in the Libbytown Neighborhood, makes the site ideal for a higher density development. This area of congress street is within .25 miles of the Portland Transportation Center with bus and rail service to Boston and beyond. In addition, the parcels are only .4 miles from the Union Station Plaza and .5 miles from the Maine Medical Center Campus. The proximity of these parcels to transportation, retail, and healthcare services make the Douglass Street campus an ideal location for a higher density development. In addition, the Douglass street parcels are within .25 miles of the nearest R-5A zone, which allows for the higher density noted above. The enclosed proposal details a two-building and ten single family home development with approximately 80 units and abundant greenspace for resident and neighbor recreation. This scale of development would fit within the R-5A zone and existing neighborhood aesthetic, but it is not accommodated by the existing R-5 zone. Given the presence of other three-story buildings in the area, including two existing apartment buildings at 49-53 Douglass Street, the Douglass Street Campus fits seamlessly within the neighborhood context and aesthetic. The new campus would be an extension of the existing Libbeytown Neighborhood, it would not be an aberration. 13 04 PROPOSAL (CONT.) We contend that a PRUD development is not the highest and best use of the site given its size and central location. Given the characteristics of the site, its central location, and the limited required zoning changes for this proposal’s feasibly, we request zoning relief from the City Council. The form of such relief will be at the council’s discretion as either a contract zone or a zoning change to R-5A. Such relief will allow for the addition of these affordable units to the City’s housing stock. Furthermore, this proposal is unique in its aim to create a pathway from sustainable renting to homeownership on a single campus; providing a variety of avenues for housing stability and long-term financial success. Homeownership remains the primary means for the American middle class to accumulate wealth and achieve long-term financial stability. The site concept, with rental units, condominiums, and single-family homes with ADU’s allows residents who start as renters to move on to condominium or homeownership. The National Low-Income Housing Coalition’s 2019 “Out of Reach” dataset indicates that a renter earning the State’s minimum wage of $11.00 an hour would need to work 58 hours per week to pay for the average one- bedroom apartment ($823 monthly rent). This “minimum hours worked” statistic would be much more pronounced in Portland where one-bedroom apartments are frequently rented at $1400 and two-bedroom units often reach $1800-$2000. Portland’s rental landscape not only makes it difficult to live paycheck-to-paycheck, but the market makes it nearly impossible for low-income Mainers to save for a home. This predicament, the inability of Portland renters to save for an affordable home, is what we hope to resolve with this campus. A renter will enter the campus and pay rent that is below the Portland market standard. The resident can then remain in their unit as their savings and income increase preparing them to eventually buy one of the single family homes with ADU’s on site.

The parcels are very attractive given their proximity to City athletic fields as well as a commercial center and transportation hub. However, there are also well documented environmental issues with the site that must be addressed before a residential development could take place. In addition, the current zoning allows for a maximum of forty-seven units in the form of single family, two family, and Planned Residential Urban Developments (PRUDs). These types of projects are typically more costly to build and therefore more expensive to the consumer than larger multi-tenanted building. Our goal is to offer housing across the socioeconomic strata, with a strong emphasis on entry level home ownership and subsidized housing. Based on the current zoning, the maximum build-out of forty-seven units at a land cost of $10,000 per unit, Malone Commercial Brokers estimates the value of the property (before discounting due to environmental issues) to be $470,000. Though a Phase 2 Environmental Study has been completed, the full extent of present issues and the cost of their remediation will not be fully known until a comprehensive survey of the site is complete. It is our professional opinion that given the current lack of affordable housing in the City of Portland, we feel that the highest and best use of the parcel is for a denser development. With zoning changes to reflect this density, and a discount to address the environmental expenses, we feel that the land has a value of $575,000. 23 05 FINANCIA L FEASIBILITY (CONT.)

The rents and for sale price points will create housing opportunities for people ranging from below 50% of Area Median Income (“AMI”) to over 120% of AMI per federal income definitions. This approach will create a true economically diverse campus that is representative of demographics and housing need in the City of Portland. Upon acquisition to the land parcel, the land will either be subdivided, or a land condominium will be formed. The campus will include two or three land units (“Land Unit X”) based on the development proposal selected by the City. Land Unit 1 will be owned by Avesta Housing (“Avesta”) for the purposes of developing a 40-unit affordable rental property. Land Unit 2 and Land Unit 3 will be owned by Jack Soley and Tim Hebert / Hebert Construction. The land associated with Unit 2 will be for purpose of the development of a 30-unit condominium, and Land Unit 3 will be retained for the potential development of single- family homes. Land Unit 1 – Ownership and Affordability The development located on Land Unit 1 will funded by Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”). The LIHTC development will be owned by a single-purpose limited partnership, of which Avesta will serve as the General Partner and tax credit investors will serve as the limited partner. Avesta will also manage the property. The 40-unit multifamily development will have long term affordability, with all of the units being restricted to households at 60% of AMI or below, and a portion may have deeper targeting restricted to 50% of AMI or below. The area median income and maximum affordable rents are governed by Internal Revenue Service LIHTC guidelines. The building will remain affordable for at least 45 years as enforced by an extended use agreement with Maine State Housing Authority. However, it is Avesta’s intent and mission to keep the building affordable and restricted to serve people of need beyond the required 45 years. Land Unit 2 and 3 – Ownership and Affordability Land Unit 2 will comprise a 30-unit condominium building. Twenty-four one- and two- bedroom condominiums will be sold at price points affordable to households and individuals with incomes up to 120% of AMI, based on federal income guidelines as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The small size of these units will assure affordability in perpetuity. Using federal income guidelines creates consistency with Low Income Housing Tax Credit property also located on the site and facilitates an opportunity for households to graduate into home ownership. The remaining six modest one-bedroom condos will sell at market rate to folks looking to downsize and simplify their lives. The condominium association and building will be managed by Avesta Housing or another third- party manager. The ten single family homes located on Land Unit 3 will be efficient in size and design to facilitate affordability as compared to other homeownership options within the City of Portland. The homes will modest and include Accessory Dwelling Units to help buyers afford the high costs of home ownership. 30 08 A PPEN DI X A | PROFIL E - JA CK S O LEY B | PROFIL E - H EBERT DEVELO P MEN T / CO N S TR U C TIO N C | PROFIL E - AV ES TA H O U S I N G D | PROFIL E - KAP LAN T H O MP S O N ARCH I T ECT S E | PROFIL E - MRLD LAN DS CAP E ARCH I T ECT UR E + URBANISM F | NE IGHBORH O O D S U P P O RT LET T ER G | BROKE R’S OP I N I O N O F VALU E H | LENDE R INS T I T U T I O N S U P P O RT LET T ERS 31 Jack Soley APPENDIX JACK SOLEY A Jack Soley is a founding partner of East Brown Cow, a real estate investment company. Jack has 31 years of experience in acquisition, development, construction, and management of commercial and residential projects. He owns individually and in partnership approximately two million square feet of commercial and hospitality space in the Portland area. For the past ten years, Jack has focused on residential real estate development including rental and home ownership. Jack’s most recent project was Parris Terraces, a twenty-three unit condominium development in the Bayside neighborhood. Built on land purchased from the City of Portland through an open RFP process, the project included twenty units sold at 120% of Area Medium Income (AMI). In order to achieve this challenging sales price point without using municipal, state or federal subsidies, the average unit size was kept below 500 square feet. Well-designed contemporary interior spaces and the inclusion of balconies created efficient and useful floor plans. Very high standards of insulation and heating and cooling by mini-split heat pumps holds ongoing costs of ownership down. Significantly, the small size of the units will also keep future re-sales at affordable prices, without deed restrictions. Jack is a former member of the Portland Planning Board. He is currently an Instructor and Trustee at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, a Maine Guide Examiner for the State of Maine, as well as a Board member of the Portland Museum of Art. 32 APPENDIX B HEBERT DEVELOPMENT / HEBERT CONSTRUCTION FOUR GENERATION S OF LEADERSHIP & VALUE Hebert Construction is a team of problem solvers first and foremost, and we do our best work amidst the most challenging environments and requirements.

Avesta focuses on five areas of affordable housing: advocacy, real estate development, property management, senior and assisted living, and homeownership. The organization has more than 280 employees, $315 million in assets, and an annual budget of $47 million. The organization currently owns and manages nearly 100 affordable housing developments, for a total of more than 2,900 units in Maine and New Hampshire. The portfolio consists of state and federally assisted family and elderly/disabled housing, affordable rent-restricted apartments, mixed-income (affordable and market rate) rental developments, supportive housing for people experiencing long-term homelessness and visually impaired, and unrestricted workforce housing. Additionally, Avesta owns and operates two assisted-living facilities. Avesta was also the first in Maine to develop projects for chronically homeless people using the Housing First model and has since completed three projects. Because of the diversity of living options provided by Avesta, we have an incredibly diverse resident population. Avesta Housing has developed more than 130 properties and/or housing communities in Maine and New Hampshire, totaling more than 3,500 apartments and homes. These initiatives range in size from less than a dozen units to more than 125 units. Some of these properties were developed or designed in collaboration with a mission-aligned community partner, a town resident committee, or other constituents. As a result, the Avesta development team has adopted a collaborative design process to ensure the needs of all stakeholders are met. This collaborative approach underscores the breadth of experience Avesta development staff has across various types of developments, including new construction, adaptive reuse, historic renovation, occupied rehabs, mixed-use developments, affordable homeownership, and combinations thereof. Energy-efficient design construction is a key focus of our development team. With a Passive House consultant on staff, all new construction and renovations include strategies to optimize energy efficiency. Over the course of Avesta’s work in sustainable construction, the team has built award-winning Passive House and LEED-certified buildings. One of Avesta’s greatest strengths is its ability to leverage various and complex funding sources to successfully develop and rehabilitate properties. Examples of funding used in previous developments include HUD financing, RD 515 with Rental Assistance, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Federal and State Historic Tax Credits, solar tax credits, Community Development Block Grant funding, NeighborWorks capital grants, organizational grants, HOME funds, municipal housing funds, affordable housing tax increment financing, Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program funds, project-based vouchers, continuum of care support, community development financial institution financing, and conventional bank financing. Work across these different funding platforms and underwriting requirements demonstrate the development team’s agility, creativity, and dedication to seeing an early conceptual idea through to physical completion. An important component to Avesta Housing’s development success comes from the competency of its management division, which has significant experience working with diverse populations and administering numerous affordable programs under HUD, USDA Rural Development, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and other local, state, and federal housing programs. 37 A PPEN D I X AVESTA HOUSING (CONT.) C The Avesta development team collaborates closely with the property management team throughout the development process to ensure that building design is responsive to the resident and management needs. Through this collaboration, the team makes strategic decisions to ensure finished buildings are sustainable, operate efficiently, serve resident needs well, and fit in a community. Beyond property management and development services, Avesta Housing also provides leadership and support to the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition, the state’s leading housing policy advocacy organization. It is a member of NeighborWorks America and Housing Partnership Network, both of which are extensive national networks of strong and sophisticated organizations across the affordable housing industry.

We believe that a strong commitment to the following would make the project better: ● Implementations of the recommendations of the Libbytown traffic study ● Acknowledgement of the history of the site in terms of project name and building materials (e.g., the site sits on or near a former brick foundry) ● Streetscape and Bicycle/Pedestrian improvements along Congress Street ● Public transit (such as trolly cars) on Congress Street, car share and other reductions to parking; secure and covered bicycle parking ● Stormwater design ● Environmental mitigation of the site ● ADA access within the site to community spaces in winter months Overall we ​recommend​ this proposal for its commitment to neighborhood design improvements and amenities. The Libbytown Neighborhood is grateful for your consideration of this proposal. Sincerely, Maureen Morse Chair 49 Appendix F June 11, 2020 Honorable Mayor and Councilors: The Libbytown Neighborhood Association held a special meeting to consider the ​Phoenix Fields​ proposal for the redevelopment of 43 & 91 Douglass Street, aka, the old West School site. The meeting was well attended after a robust discussion, we are pleased to express support for this proposal. Please factor these recommendations into your consideration of Design and Amenities​ as specified in the ​Impact on the Surrounding Neighborhood​ section of the RFP score sheet. With respect to design, the LNA supports projects of quality and distinction which may serve as a neighborhood landmark. Given that the existing fabric and architecture lacks a singular quality, the association would like to see something architecturally notable. Furthermore, the Libbytown Neighborhood is somewhat diverse socio-economically with a prevalence of low to moderate income. The Libbytown Neighborhood Association is strongly supportive of new housing particularly mixed income projects with a focus on low and middle income. In terms of this projects’ design program, we: ● Strongly support this project’s ​use of site and integration with park amenities ● Modest concern​ this project’s interaction with adjacent structures and would advocate for the largest possible set back buffers from adjacent properties on Douglass Street The area is underserved as it lacks a school, community space, a vibrant commercial corridor, bus shelters, and other staples of urban life. As such, in terms of amenities we: ● Strongly support the overall commitment to ​housing affordability​ especially the commitment to mixed incomes and to low to moderate income housing 50 BROKER OPINION OF VALUE 43 - 91 DOUGLASS STREET, PORTLAND Appendix G 43 - 91 DOUGLASS STREET, PORTLAND Prepared for Jack Soley and Tim Hebert 5.29.2020 Note: This opinion was prepared solely for you, the client, its purpose and function stated in this report and is not intended for subsequent use.

At your request, I have reviewed the property to determine its’ market value. This opinion is based primarily upon my market experience and professional judgement of the Subject Property’s superiority and/or inferiority of various property specific features as well as the location as compared to similar Property types within Greater Portland. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Sincerely, Peter Harrington Malone Commercial Brokers 52 MALONE COMMERCIAL BROKERS | 5 MOULTON ST STE 3 | PORTLAND ME 04101 | 207.772.2422 | MALONECB.COM MARKET ANALYSIS 43 - 91 DOUGLASS STREET, PORTLAND Appendix G PROPERTY OVERVIEW For the purpose of this Broker Opinion of Value (BOV), I am using general dimensions of 0.3981 AC for 43 Douglass Street and an estiated 2.85 AC of the 91 Douglass Street lot. I am also using the existing R-5 zone requirements, which will allow about 47 units. The goal of the City of Portland in selling these lots is to provide housing opportunities. All units must be affordable to households earning 60% to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Currently, 60% AMI for a family of four is $55,800 and 120% AMI for a family of four is $111,600. Restrictions of units must be in place for a minimum of 30 years for home owner- ship units and the longest period allowed by law for rental units. On another note, my BOV does not take into account any environmental issues related to the site, as the cost to deal with existing environmental issues is currently unknown. It was very difficult to find comparables for this location. The majority of land sales in Port- land in the past few years has been for development of hotels, higher-end condos and other market rate housing, and other commercial uses. Furthermore the Douglass site is a unique location. The site, the former site of a school, is located at the end of a public park and behind some single family homes. The site is also close to I-295 and it’s Congress Street off ramp. I do think the site does have some great positives going for it however. The park is really nice and and highly utilized, with a pool, skate park, baseball, softball and soccer fields. Douglass Street is close to Congress Street and Brighton Avenue. It’s also located close to both the train and bus station. 53 MALONE COMMERCIAL BROKERS | 5 MOULTON ST STE 3 | PORTLAND ME 04101 | 207.772.2422 | MALONECB.COM MARKET ANALYSIS 43 - 91 DOUGLASS STREET, PORTLAND Appendix G There are a great number of retail stores and food establishments within walking distance, including a CVS and a Shaw’s. As I mentioned, there weren’t a great number of close comparables based on lot size and location. I used three, 100 Parris Street, 60 Parris Street and 450 Clarks Pond Parkway in South Portland. COMPARABLES 100 Parris Street is a small 0.22 AC urban site. The property is being built currently into a six story apartment building with a 5,360 SF commercial unit on the first floor. The lot sold for $233,700 plus the lot owner gets to buy the first floor for a pre-determined favorable price. The per unit cost for this project is $4,582/unit. 60 Parris Street was a city owned 0.23 AC lot. This sale was part of Portland’s move to sell off the former public works sites in the Bayside area. The City wanted housing in this area, it was one of the goals they hoped to ahieve in selling. This site sold for $175,000 in 2018. The developer developed work force condos, without any public, financing or other incen- tive. The sale price per unit was $7,291.66. The result was a beautiful building with small efficient units that sold quickly to work force owners. 450 Clark’s Pond Parkway in South Portland was a sale of a vacant land parcel, originally marketed as a hotel site in the Maine Mall neighborhood. This site closed after the purchas- er secured full approvals. For 256 market rate units in four six-story buildings. The 7.9 AC site sold in June 2018 for 1.6Million, or $6,250/unit. This site wound up being included in an opportunity zone and the developer sold the site to URS Capital for significantly more. The per unit price range I used was between $4,582 for the six-story Parris building to $7,291 for 56 Parris Street. From my research, I found that the sweet spot for developing affordable housing is between $5,000 to around $10,000/unit. I believe that the Dougalss Street lots are worth about $10,000 per unit. Currently at about 47 units, this would value the site at about $470,000. 54 MALONE COMMERCIAL BROKERS | 5 MOULTON ST STE 3 | PORTLAND ME 04101 | 207.772.2422 | MALONECB.COM COMPARABLE PROPERTY ONE 450 CLARK’S POND PARKWAY, SOUTH PORTLAND Appendix G Property 450 Clark’s Pond Parkway, South Portland Lot Size 7.5 ACRES Sale Price $1,600,000 $213,333/AC 256 units (in four and six story buildings) = $62,250/unit Sale Date June 2018 Notes This was a sale of a vacant land parcel in the Maine Mall neighborhood.

Douglass Commons Proposal Imagine a neighborhood that has ​gardens, courtyards, and green alleys where children of diverse backgrounds play and ride their bikes. Where adults chat about how to manage the grounds, while gardening in raised beds. Where in winter, a single mom and a retiree can share a cup of coffee in a warm, plant-filled space, while watching kids on the snowy playground outside. A neighborhood where retirees, immigrant families, and single parents have the option to rent or own their home, at an affordable cost, and share outdoor gardens and play space. Douglass Commons​ aims to be that neighborhood, by building ​a mix of affordable apartments and Limited Equity Ownership homes on the former West School Site in the Libbytown Neighborhood of Portland, Maine. We hope that our vision will become a replicable model of diversity, equity, cooperation, and community throughout the city and region. Proposed Use to Achieve the City of Portland’s Goals: Market Demand (20 Points) 85% of homes will be priced to be affordable for households earning between 60%-100% of Area Median Income (AMI). Affordability restrictions on Limited Equity Co-op units will be permanent, and for the Apartments, the longest period allowed by law, secured by covenants. Economic Diversity (10 Points) ​Douglass Street Commons provides housing options which promote economic diversity in the neighborhood by creating a mixed-income community with long-term affordability in both the Apartments and Co-op homes. LIHTC Co-op Apartments + Apartments Ownership Co-op Income Level: % of Area Median Income (AMI) Homes % Homes % Homes % 50% AMI 16 29% 0 0% 16 15% 60% AMI 24 43% 14 27% 38 35% 80% AMI 0 0% 17 33% 17 16% Market Rate 16 29% 0 0% 16 15% 100% AMI 0 0% 21 40% 21 19% Total 56 100% 52 100% 108 100% Total homes between 60-100% AMI 92 85% Age Inclusive (10 Points) ​Both the Co-op and Apartments provide housing which is age-inclusive. There will be large homes and play space for families with children, and small homes, social rooms, and gardens for adults of all ages. Cooperative ownership, shared spaces, and management of co-op by the Cooperative Development Institute will help cultivate community cohesion. We estimate 250 new residents, including 100 children. 2 Impact on Surrounding Neighborhood: Project Design (15 points) Our proposal is consistent with the existing pattern, scale, massing, and materials of the surrounding neighborhood. The 3.24 acre site is a vacant lot bounded by playing fields, a site for a future playground, single family and multifamily homes, and a highway ramp. We hosted two design charrettes with both existing neighbors and future residents, and won support from the neighborhood association for our design. Douglass Commons will improve the neighborhood by: ● Creating green space and pathways, connecting transit, trails, and sidewalks that are welcoming to existing neighbors, bikers, pedestrians, and children. ● Facing new homes towards the future Douglass Street playground, fields, and skate park, will make them safer for neighborhood children. ● Replacing the road behind the existing homes on Douglass Street with trees. ● Placing new two-story homes near existing homes and larger buildings farther away. ● Providing community meeting space to the existing neighborhood. ● Accommodating storm water runoff with rain gardens. Amenities and unit design (10 points) Amenities & unit design have been well thought out and are appropriate for residents. A mix of unit sizes accommodate a wide range of household sizes and types. The Co-op is a combination of townhomes and 12 unit buildings with community rooms that look out onto patios and green spaces for outdoor eating and play, shared guest rooms, balconies, shared cars, garden plots, and EV charging stations. The Apartments will have a fitness room, community room, bike storage room, and an on-site resident services coordinator and property manager. The Apartments and Co-ops buildings will likely be built to passive house standards and have solar panels, exceeding the city’s green building standards. The current unit mix estimates for the Apartments are as follows: 28 one-bedroom; 17 two-bedroom; 10 three-bedroom units. The current unit mix for the Co-op is as follows: 18 one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom, 6 three-bedroom + 16 three-bedroom townhomes. Applicant's ability to complete the project, including financial feasibility, development team experience, capacity, and timeframe for completion. (35 points total) ● Readiness to proceed​ ​(15 points) ​We have letters of commitment or interest from all projected sources of funding except where procurement rules disallow. ● Track record of development team ​(​10 points) ​Every development team member has a successful track record with this type of project and at this scale. ● Current capacity of development team (10 points) ​Our development team members have exceptional depth of human and financial resources to complete this project. (See attachments for details) Proposed Re-Zoning The current zoning, R-5, allows a maximum of 47 units as planned residential unit development (PRUD). Based on the city’s stated willingness to rezone to maximize the number of affordable 3 homes, to allow higher density to further exceptional projects, and to further the city’s comprehensive plan, we plan to request a rezone to R-6 to allow for approximately 108 units.

Occupancy and Management Plan: ​Present a plan detailing the ownership structure (condominium, cooperative, etc.), resale restrictions and resale process, to ensure mixed income and long-term affordability. 10 The Co-op and Apartments will be managed separately. The Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) will be responsible for the creation of the cooperative ownership structure, management, and will ensure implementation of the permanent affordability provisions. Andy Reicher, executive director of UHAB in New York City, will be a consultant to set up a structure to train future residents in managing their buildings, and help seed future cooperative ownership projects. The Co-op ownership structure is a Limited Equity Cooperative as defined in Maine State Law, meaning that residents rent from an entity that they co-own. This type of cooperative is democratically owned and operated similar to a condo structure, but allows for a wider range of income affordability, as residents do not have to qualify for a mortgage. Resident-owners pay a share price similar to a small down payment, then have a monthly payment similar to rent or mortgage. The Co-op itself holds the mortgage for the property, and over time, the homes become more affordable as expenses increase only with actual expenses - there is no profit motive. New residents must meet income requirements, and monthly costs must not exceed 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) income bands. These rules continue in perpetuity. There are currently over 20 households of prospective residents that have been meeting for over a year. The group includes multiple established immigrant families that share a vision of mixed-income ownership housing with shared community facilities and outdoor space. The development team will continue to work with these residents to crystalize their vision for site design, for self-governance, and to recruit more households. The Apartments will be managed by Saco Falls Management, which manages all of The Szanton Company’s buildings. Saco Falls Management was founded in 2013 to manage properties developed by The Szanton Company, of which Nathan Szanton, Robert C. S. Monks, and Amy Cullen are the primary owners. Upon its founding, Saco Falls Management took over management of six properties with the addition of three properties since its opening. Its portfolio includes Casco Terrace, Walker Terrace, and 53 Danforth in Portland, ME; The Mill at Saco Falls and The Lofts at Saco Falls in Biddeford, ME; The Lofts at Bates Mill and The Hartley Block in Lewiston, ME; The Huse School Apartments in Bath, ME; and The Squamscott Block in Exeter, NH. Nathan Szanton, Robert C. S. Monks, and Amy Cullen are the owners of Saco Falls Management. Both Apartment and Co-op homes will be principal residences and will not be used to conduct business (except for a home occupation allowed under the City of Portland zoning ordinance) or as investment properties. Units may not be rented for short-term periods of one to thirty days. 11 G. Purchase Price: The City expects to receive Fair Market Value (“FMV”) for the property. This is a desirable location with many nearby amenities, but its environmental history makes it a difficult and expensive site to develop housing, especially affordable, quality housing with safe outdoor space for families. Historically, the former West School site and most of Dougherty Field were part of the salt marsh that ran from Back Cove almost to the Fore River. The site was under water until 1869, then was excavated for its clay to use in brick manufacturing. The site was then used from the early 1900s until the 1950s by the City of Portland as a municipal dump. In 1961, the City planned and built the West School on the site, then used it as an education, continuing education, and community center until 1997. The site still has solid waste buried 18 to 24 inches under the surface and soil contaminated with lead. The former West School building experienced structural and environmental problems from 1981 to 1997, as a result of settling and methane gas from the former landfill. There are also a gas company easement and sewer easement making significant portions of the site unbuildable. We are committed to avoiding the environmental and site design mistakes that resulted in safety and structural issues for the West School, and creating permanent spaces for future residents, just as we are planning for long-term affordability. Because of the seriousness of the contamination, the environmental remediation costs will be significant. We began our estimate by assuming a value for clean land in this location of $450,000/ acre. Of the 141,487 SF of lot area, we currently estimate 40,000 SF of building footprint, and an additional 5,000 SF of areas for community garden and child play that requires clean soil, and an additional 10% for planning, management, and contingency. At an estimated $20/sf to remove and/or replace soil, our estimate ranges from $750,000 to $1,000,000 in anticipated costs. So we estimate $1,458,000 minus up to $1,000,000 in remediation costs, many of which won’t be known until we are fully committed to the development of the site, and the delay of up to a year’s worth of staff time, property taxes, and uncertainty, while we apply for EPA Brownfield funds and conduct remediation. Taking into account the best interests of the existing and prospective neighbors, and the city’s intention to provide affordable housing to families, and development budget feasibility, we are able to offer $475,000 for the property, which we believe to be Fair Market Value. 12 13 June 11, 2020 Honorable Mayor and Councilors: The Libbytown Neighborhood Association held a special meeting to consider the ​Douglass Commons​ proposal for the redevelopment of 43 & 91 Douglass Street, aka, the old West School site. The meeting was well attended after a robust discussion, we are pleased to express our support for this proposal. Please factor these recommendations into your consideration of ​Design and Amenities​ as specified in the ​Impact on the Surrounding Neighborhood​ section of the RFP score sheet. With respect to design, the LNA supports projects of quality and distinction which may serve as a neighborhood landmark. Given that the existing fabric and architecture lacks a singular quality, the association would like to see something architecturally notable. Furthermore, the Libbytown Neighborhood is somewhat diverse socio-economically with a prevalence of low to moderate income. The Libbytown Neighborhood Association is strongly supportive of new housing particularly mixed income projects with a focus on low and middle income. In terms of this projects’ design program, we: ● Strongly support this project’s ​use of site and integration with Park amenities ● Modestly Support​ this project’s interaction with adjacent structures and would advocate for the largest possible set back buffers from adjacent properties on Douglass Street The area is underserved as it lacks a school, community space, a vibrant commercial corridor, bus shelters, and other staples of urban life. As such, in terms of amenities we: ● Strongly support community ​garden/food forest ● Strongly support the overall commitment to ​housing affordability​ especially the commitment to mixed incomes and to low to moderate income housing 14 ● Strongly support the commitment to ​ethhnic diversity​ and the possibility of thereof (such as ESL training) ● Strongly support this projects commitment to ​sustainability​ especially the solar arrays, passive house standards and ​tree & shrub​ planting ● Strongly support quality ​community space​ that is open and accessible ● Strongly supports ​shared street concept​ or piazza concept which can become a flexible community gathering space ● Support commitment to ​active transport​ and the integration of transit, limited parking, and commitment to traffic demand management The following items are community priorities in design and amenities that may be part of the program but that we did not see as explicit in this proposal. We believe that a strong commitment to the following would make the project better: ● Implementations of the recommendations of the Libbytown traffic study ● Streetscape and bicycle/pedestrian improvements along Congress Street ● Acknowledgement to the history of the site in terms of project name and building materials (e.g., the site sits on or near a former brick foundry) ● Public transit (such as trolly cars), car share, and other reductions to parking ● Stormwater design ● Environmental mitigation of the site ● ADA access within the site to community spaces in winter months Overall we ​highly recommend​ this proposal for its commitment to neighborhood design improvements and amenities. The Libbytown Neighborhood is grateful for your consideration of this proposal. Sincerely, Maureen Morse Chair 15 June 8, 2020 To whom it may concern: The Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) is happy to support the proposal for the creation of a new construction limited equity co-op on Douglass Street. CDI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 1994 by co-op leaders to work with people in the Northeast to create cooperative businesses and networks that grow a prosperous, equitable economy. CDI provides expert assistance, organizational development, and support to groups undertaking cooperative development. In the past decade, CDI has helped create 47 new Resident Owned Communities (ROCs) in New England, representing 4,479 households. 8 of the ROCs are conversions of manufactured home parks in Maine. CDI’s role is to help form new cooperatives, train residents, and ensure that the cooperative has the support it needs to remain permanently affordable. Our intention is that at Douglass Street, CDI will: ○ Lead the creation of the new Co-op entity. ○ Lead resident training and resident participation in the construction phase. ○ Create and administer a long-term management plan that would meet the city's TIF requirements to ensure that the property meets the city’s affordability metrics for at least 30 years. ○ Be the long term training & support organization for the Co-op. We are pleased with the proposal and the development team, and hope to be part of this exciting project! Sincerely, Noémi Giszpenc Executive Director 16 Future Residents of Douglass Commons Co-op June 2020 To whom it may concern: We are writing in support of the Douglass Commons proposal to build housing on the parcel put to RFP by the City of Portland. Many of us have been meeting for the last 2 years to explore strategies to build affordable home ownership housing in Portland that builds community among people of different ages, incomes, and cultural backgrounds. Several months ago, we came to the conclusion that Limited Equity Cooperative Housing was the best way to accomplish this. Limited Equity Cooperatives combines the accessibility of renting with the long-term stability and autonomy of homeownership. We are delighted that this development team has come together to bring Limited Equity Cooperative Housing to Portland and enthusiastically support their projects. We are especially excited about the effort to create designs that will maximize interaction with outdoor spaces, gardens and shared spaces that can be used by residents. We also appreciate their effort to include us and existing neighbors in their early design efforts. We are excited about the location, and hope that we will have the opportunity to become future residents! Sincerely, 1. Rachel Ackoff & Lee Leviter, 19 Lewis St Apt 1F Portland, ME 04102 2.

Fitzgerald Purchasing Manager The City of Portland 389 Congress Street Portland, ME 04101 RE: Request for Proposals for 43 & 91 Douglass Street Dear Mr. Fitzgerald: MaineHousing is pleased to provide this letter of interest for The Szanton Company’s proposal to redevelop a portion of the former West School site. Our understanding is that there will be a mixed-income housing project constructed on the site, potentially financed in part by MaineHousing resources. In our 24-year relationship with The Szanton Company, the applicant has demonstrated an exceptional track record in navigating the processes of market research, site acquisition, design, regulatory approvals, financing, construction, and marketing of a high-quality housing product. While this letter of interest is not a commitment to allocate affordable housing tax credits, MaineHousing would welcome an application in connection with this project. Based on The Szanton Company’s track record, an application would have a strong likelihood of success. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions. Sincerely, Mark C. Wiesendanger Director of Development 18 19 May 27, 2020 The City of Portland Planning Department 389 Congress Street Portland, ME 04101 RE: 43 & 91 Douglass Street To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of Bangor Savings Bank I am pleased to provide this letter in support of The Szanton Company for the above-referenced project. Based on our review of the financial elements of the proposal for the development site, we believe that that the applicant has the ability to finance projected costs and develop a project of similar type and scale from a fiscal perspective. While this letter of support is not a commitment to lend, Bangor Savings Bank would welcome the opportunity to be a resource to The Szanton Company for financing and sponsorship of any equity awards necessary in connection with this project. Please feel free to call me with any questions.

We have reviewed a financing request, including initial plans, pro forma operating budget, the construction budget and initial market information for Douglas Commons Cooperative in Portland, ME. In addition, we have reviewed the experience of the overall development team. Based on this review, we feel that this project is an excellent candidate for financing and will conform to all the requirements to qualify for construction and permanent financing through the FHA 213 program. We feel that this is the right time and place to create a new affordable cooperative given the advantages this particular form of housing provide to its members, primarily affordable home ownership and a greater sense of community. We have now entered the formal application stage for the FHA 213 mortgage insurance and believe that Douglas Commons Cooperative has a high likelihood of obtaining a 40 year, low interest loan for the project of $13,308,200. Additional subordinated financing would serve to further increase that likelihood. We also believe that success at Douglas Commons Cooperative will open an entirely new avenue for affordable housing finance in the state of Maine by making the FHA 213 program finance accepted in the market. Centennial Mortgage has substantial expertise and experience completing FHA financing transactions. We are very active in lending to cooperative housing projects throughout the country Personally, I have been involved in cooperative housing for over 20 years, through financing and serving on the board of the National Association of Housing Cooperatives. We encourage other funding sources to join us in supporting this innovative project and creating up to 98% leverage for future projects through this program. Please let me know should you have any questions or require any additional information.

Since CFNE's founding in 1975, we have made over 1,000 loans, totaling over $60 million, including many loans to support the purchase of cooperatively-owned real estate property. We look forward to seriously consider an application to provide a loan of up to $855,000 for the above-mentioned purpose. The terms of any loan would depend on the strengths of the application, collateral, other funders and financing, and the project’s pro forma for expected cash flow and ability to make payments. Our customary range for interest is 5 -7% and most loans are made with terms of 5-10 years, with a longer amortization possible so that the actual loan payment amounts are affordable. Our loan committee meets the second or third Thursday of each month, and the deadline for an application is the 15th of the previous month. The process for consideration takes a total of three to four weeks, though sometimes longer, and includes a site visit. My colleague, Deborah Hawkins, will be your loan outreach officer and will usher your application through our committee. Please let us know if we can provide any other information and we look forward to working with your loan application and other capital needs. Thank you for using the services of the Cooperative Fund.

Huse Memorial School, built in 1942 and 1949. We re-purposed this elementary school to create 31 apartments and added a new construction wing with 28 apartments, for a total of 59 units. The existing building was restored to its original 1942 appearance, designed by notable Maine architect and Bath native, Alonzo Harriman. Included are new windows consistent with the originals, restored masonry, and new signage which reproduced the original distinctive design. The apartments in the existing building feature original wood floors, high ceilings, and large windows with abundant natural light. Building amenities include wi-fi, fitness center, community room, and secure bike storage. The Huse School Apartments are located steps from the modern YMCA, the 5-mile Whiskeag Trail, and a short walk to downtown Bath with its variety of shops, restaurants, library and more.

In 2004 and 2006, four connected historic buildings on Lisbon Street suffered extensive fire damage and were condemned and demolished, leaving a gaping hole in the city’s most iconic street. One of the buildings was the site of the 1906 art studio of Marsden Hartley, an important early modern American painter born and raised in Lewiston. A mixed-use, mixed-income project, The Hartley Block features 63 apart- ments aimed at a diversity of income groups and 4,000 sq. ft. of retail space along Lisbon Street. The project includes a fitness center, community room, children’s playroom, dedicated bike storage, wi-fi and covered parking directly behind the building. The site is within easy walking distance of the public library (across the street), shops, restaurants, cafes, and two major parks. This project adds momentum to downtown Lewiston’s resurgence, including street-level public art at the entrance.

CDI’s ​mission​ is to build a cooperative economy through the creation and development of successful cooperative enterprises. We are transforming ownership of our economy, so all people can meet their basic needs.​ CDI has 30 staff across the Northeast including six staff members in Southern Maine. New England Resident Owned Community Projects (NEROC) One of our primary activities is creating cooperative housing in Maine and the Northeast. ​When a park is for sale we help residents form a cooperative, get financing to buy the park, and learn how to run it with democratic resident control. This program gives residents control of the land beneath their homes and protects the affordability of their housing. The Resident Owned Community (ROC) model began in NH with the NH Community Loan Fund and became a national model with the formation of ROC USA in 2008. The program has helped people in over 50 parks – comprising more than 4,800 homes — convert to resident ownership. ​Those communities are part of the ROC USA Network, which has helped secure over 15,000 units of affordable housing nation-wide. ​ CDI provides ongoing support as trainers and advisers for the ROCs and other cooperatives in the region. We assist in governance, management, financial oversight, communications, conflict resolution, compliance, and securing financing. Charter Oaks Village Cooperative With the support and technical assistance of the Cooperative Development Institute (CDI), the residents of Charter Oaks Village acquired the land on the 40 unit Arundel manufactured housing park on June 11, 2019 for $1,170,000, helping to preserve the affordable housing community within it. 58 Charter Oaks Village joins nine other Maine manufactured housing communities supported by CDI and financed by Genesis Community Loan Fund, representing 440 homes now under resident control. The newly formed housing cooperative was a recipient of a GrowSmart Maine’s honorary 2019 Smart Growth Award. Mountainside Community Cooperative CDI’s newest Maine Cooperative is the 52-unit Mountainside Community Cooperative in Camden, Maine. Securing affordable housing in a community like Camden is increasingly challenging as housing costs escalate and its population ages. The residents of Mountainside Community purchased the community on December 11, 2019 for $1,900,000 with financing provided by Camden National Bank, Genesis Community Loan Fund and the Local Enterprise Assistance Fund. “We are so pleased to be able to help the residents of the Mountainside Community Cooperative become property owners today,” said Bill Floyd, Executive Director of the Genesis Fund. Wardtown Mobile Home Cooperative The residents of the 60-unit Wardtown Mobile Home Cooperative voted to form the cooperative and purchase the community in May 2015, with assistance from CDI, and combined financing from Maine State Housing and The Genesis Community Loan Fund. As with all of the CDI’s Resident Owned Communities (ROCs), Wardtown members continue to engage in extensive training and organizational development. As Bill Hodgkins, Cooperative Treasurer explains, “We all gained valuable new skill sets as we went through the process of establishing and financing our cooperative...Now we have a very strong board of directors and feel very organized, to the point we are able to assist other ROC mobile home parks with advice about the process.” 59 2019 UHAB ANNUAL REPORT 60 Building for Us This year, UHAB made a considerable effort to build an archive. In doing so, the lesson we learned from decades of growth is very simple: what has always mattered most for affordable housing is community. It is the strength and support that comes from the community inside a co-op that is just as essential as the affordable housing itself. With this in mind, UHAB is proud to offer new and exp†nded programs to low- income homeowners with a refined lens on our work. We have more data and research than ever on the long-term impacts of redlining policies and how communities of color have been resilient in their efforts to remain in their homes, whether in the 1970s or today. By building new affordable co-ops, strengthening tenants’ rights statewide, making share loans through our HomeOwnership Lending program, and working in cooperation with our Interboro Community Land Trust partners to create the first Citywide CLT in New York City, we are actively working to dismantle the detrimental legacies of redlining and community disinvestment. As we look toward the future, our work is expanding in several ways. We are offering more services like Co-ops Go Solar and our energy programs that are tackling the most pressing issue of our lifetime: the climate crisis. Without renewable energy and carbon reduction, low-income residents more than anyone will be affected. Most importantly, we need to recognize that it is not just low-income communities, but people of color in particular who are disproportionately affected by this crisis, just as they have been marginalized from fair and stable housing. UHAB’s CDFI, HomeOwnership Lending, helps ensure that a family is not denied the opportunity to purchase because they don’t have the money to be an all cash buyer. This program makes small loans where other lenders are reluctant and in this way supporting our HDFC and Mitchell Lama co-op communities °ÉК “ÐÉê°Éï°É¨ to ÜßÐú°™ affordable housing. The interest in co-ops and our work is expanding not just in New York City, but in upstate New York where residents can securely remain in their mobile homes; to New Haven, CT where the nearly 50-year old Seabury Co-op struggles to keep up with its aging infrastructure; and to Seattle, WA where a new permanently affordable co-op is being created. UHAB is excited to be assisting a new City financed co-op development program in Oakland, CA and we continue to meet with Ðߨ†É°Ć†ê°ÐÉãК†É™Кofficials in other cities who are seriously considering the limited-equity model. We have come a long way and welcome our next chapter of growth. Sincerely, Andrew Reicher, Executive Director 61 Community through Cooperation UHAB empowers low- to moderate-income residents to take control of their housing and enhance communities by creating strong tenant associations and lasting affordable co-ops. Our Principles I. Continual Learning & Self Help III. Economic Empowerment & Sustainability When residents take the lead on everything from UHAB provides access to affordable, high-quality creating, managing, and preserving their own resources covering areas of energy, finance, co-ops to advocating for affordable housing democratic participation and education. These policy reform, this not only improves buildings tools help residents maintain lower costs of and neighborhoods, but it transforms lives as living while helping to demystify financial well. Ongoing education and training is the key to technicalities. With support and guidance, all preserving affordable housing cooperatives and residents should be able to read and manage strong tenant associations. their finances, in order to make informed decisions about their operating costs. II. Democratic Residential Control & Shared Equity Transparent leadership and the participation of a majority of residents—each contributing unique skills and perspectives—make democratic governing and organizing possible. This collective control of housing helps prioritize a shared equity that keeps affordabiilty manageable for future incoming residents. 62 Housing Justice is Racial Justice This map overlays the location of modern-day HDFC co-ops with redlined neighborhoods from the 1930s. Redlining was a discriminatory housing practice that devalued neighborhoods where people of color lived and made it difficult for people of color to secure safe, affordable housing. In this map, the deepest shade of grey represents the least economically desirable neighborhoods. In the 1970s and 1980s, landlord abandonment and arson led to City foreclosure on thousands of occupied buildings in these same neighborhoods, creating the conditions for the self-help housing movement and the creation of thousands of HDFCs. 63 Through organizing and self-help initiatives, community-controlled housing arose as a way for low-income peoplК†É™ people of color to take control of their housing solutions when the government and private sector would not. Today, neighborhoods like Harlem, the South Bronx, and Central Brooklyn ãê°ÂÂКstruggle with the legacy of redliningϡ high air pollution, increased heat waves, higher poverty rates, and gentrification †ÂÂКthreaten to displace longtime residents from neighborhoods that were once û°™ÂāКabandoned. Through it all, community control remains a tool to provide New Yorkers with decent, affordable housing. HDFCК“ÐЁÐÜs are anchors in their neighborhoods, providing a safe haven to raise families and age in place. Tenant unions build power among renters and win victories like stronger rent laws. `­ßÐ鶴КÐïßКûÐß¿ϗКUHAB helps people of color control, manage, and improve their homes. We know from experience that most of the low- to moderate- income residents in the buildings we serve are Black or Latinx. Our goal is to have as many people from the communities we serve reflected in our organization’s leadership and programs. Currently, †ßÐïə 60% of our Board and ÜßШ߆ÈКãtaff are people of colorϗК†É™КÈÐߝ than half of our organiz†tion is bilingual in English and Spanish, fulfilling an essential need for our Spanish-speaking HDFC board members and residents.

COMPANY PROFILE Acorn Engineering, Inc. is a Portland-based civil and environmental engineering firm of nine full-time employees and four construction inspectors. Acorn’s team has a diverse portfolio providing Maine with quality engineering and environmental services as well as state-wide construction administration on behalf of the Maine Department of Transportation. A cornerstone of Acorn Engineering is the attention to quality and exceptional level of service on every project, regardless of size. Our engineers and scientists pride themselves on their extensive experience, which is backed by a broad knowledge of civil and environmental engineering practices from smaller residential projects to larger commercial projects that integrate environmental assessment and site redevelopment. Acorn Engineering has demonstrated the ability to breakdown and synthesize widely disseminated regulations into accepted engineering practices and practical site assessment and development. As a result of Acorn’s efforts, the Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District recently recognized Acorn as the Contractor of the Year. This was the first award associated with the nationally recognized Long Creek Restoration Project and the first time the Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District ever recognized an engineering firm as their Contractor of the Year. Acorn’s expertise covers the areas of: civil/site design, evaluation, development, and permitting; and construction phase services such as construction administration, construction documents, project bidding, and site inspection including erosion and sedimentation control. Acorn’s experience also includes the field of environmental engineering and compliance such as: Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, soil and groundwater remediation planning and design; Maine’s Voluntary Response Action Program (VRAP); and stormwater treatment system design and permitting. Acorn’s engineers have designed, permitted, and overseen construction on numerous single- family and multifamily residential projects including traditional subdivision designs featuring on-site sewage/septic disposal and drilled wells. Furthermore, Acorn has demonstrated extensive experience and capabilities with municipalities, the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP), soil & water conservation districts, conservation commissions, municipalities, and the private sector on environmental and site development projects as demonstrated by the following: • Listed on Maine DEP’s Pre-Qualified Vendor List for Environmental Consulting Services • Listed on Maine DOT’s Pre-Qualified Consultants for eight service areas (listed under Section I.D) • Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District Contractor of the Year for work on the Long Creek Restoration Project 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 93 ACORN ENGINEERING, INC. REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS • Public Works Redevelopment – Meeting House Hill Over the past two years, Acorn Engineering has worked in close association with the City of South Portland, neighbors, and private clients on the re- development of the former Public Works facility. The 6-acre site is nestled in the middle of the Meeting House Hill residential neighbor- hood and is currently a mix of storage buildings, fuel fill stations, miscellaneous stockpiles, and pavement. The site will be redeveloped into a mix of multifamily townhomes and single-family dwellings comprising 38 units along with a public park and community gardens. In addition to the environmental remediation, Voluntary Response Action Program (VRAP), and other environmental considerations given the previous land use, the project is subject to a Maine DEP stormwater management law. The redevelopment design results in a reduction in impervious area of over 50% and reduces land use intensity across the site. Though not required, several stormwater BMP’s have been implemented into the site as a best practice, further attenuating and treating stormwater runoff. In addition to the significant redevelopment plan, Acorn has designed an infrastructure plan to separate the storm and sewer mains. This will include installing 400 feet of new storm drain along the existing O’Neil Street right-of-way and 700 feet of new storm drain along the proposed O’Neil Street right-of-way extension. Overall, this effort will reduce the effects of combined sewer overflows (CSO) into Casco Bay which occur due to wet-weather events and the wastewater treatment plant’s inability to provide capacity for both storm and sanitary sewer flows. As part of this project, Acorn held a multitude of meetings with the City including the assistant City manager, the former Mayor, the entire planning division, and the chief engineer of Public Works. Furthermore, Acorn has collaborated with department heads of the Fire, Parks, Public Works, and Water Resource departments to ensure a feasible and ideal project for all parties. As a result, the process was truly a collaborative effort with a number of stakeholders weighing in on the design. 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 94 ACORN ENGINEERING, INC. REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS • Munjoy Heights Acorn provided civil/site engineering and permitting for the design of Munjoy Heights – a six townhome, 29- unit development on the steep slopes of Munjoy Hill in the City of Portland. Acorn designed and developed construction drawings for the sanitary sewers, storm drains, water mains, driveways and pedestrian circulation, retaining wall locations, building locations, and drainage infrastructure to be built in compliance with City standards. A key component to the project was coordinating with the City on the future combined sewer separation project and the site’s overall stormwater management. Additionally, discussions with neighbors and stakeholders were paramount in the project’s success. The innovative urban infill project compliments the Munjoy Hill neighborhood with a communal design and plentiful native landscaping that replaced invasive species which previously dominated the eroding banks prior to the development. The $22 million project features a courtyard, terraced landscaping, a Portland Trails-maintained path that connects the redevelopment to the existing trail system, and low impact development (LID) techniques that meet MDEP Chapter 500 regulations. The stormwater management includes an underdrained sand filter and chambers that detain and treat stormwater on site in tandem with strategically placed rain gardens. The project required extensive coordination and collaboration between the client, City of Portland, Portland Trails, the structural engineer, the architect, and the contractor to successfully complete the project with the first “woonerf” in the state and maintaining the existing public walking path through the property. 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 95 ACORN ENGINEERING, INC. REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS • 200 Valley St Working with Avesta Housing, Acorn Engineering provided civil engineering and permitting for Avesta’s 60-unit project in the St. John Valley neighborhood. This urban infill project replaces the existing single-family house and abutting vacant lots into new affordable housing opportunities with two levels of covered parking, amenities, and a rebuilt project frontage with new sidewalks, street trees, and bicycle hitches. As part of the project, Acorn developed a transportation and parking analysis to ensure that the provided parking will adequately serve the redevelopment. Furthermore, the design team identified and implemented multiple strategies to encourage residents to efficiently utilize the many modes of transportation available on the Portland peninsula. • Little Dolphin Drive & Jocelyn Place In collaboration with the South Portland Housing Authority and Risbara Holdings, Acorn provided civil engineering design and permitting of a multi-use subdivision at the end of Little Dolphin Drive in Scarborough. Proposed uses include a two-story office building and a three-story 60-unit senior housing facility with associated parking and landscaped areas. In addition to a voluntary neighborhood meeting, the project went through a 3-step master plan phase with the Town of Scarborough in which the project was collaborated on with Planning Staff, the Planning Board, and neighbors. The project is subject to Maine DEP and US Army Corps permits. To adequately treat stormwater on the site, Acorn has designed multiple stormwater BMPs meeting Maine DEP Chapter 500 regulations resulting in a low impact design. 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 96 ACORN ENGINEERING, INC. REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS • 89 Anderson Street In collaboration with Redfern properties and the East Bayside neighborhood, Acorn developed the civil/site engineering design of a mixed use 53-unit redevelopment of an existing under- utilized, urban infill lot in the East Bayside neighborhood. Acorn’s scope of services included in the initial phase applying for and obtaining a zone change and conducting Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments to evaluate potential environmental contamination at the site. After conducting the environmental remediation efforts, Acorn developed the site layout and design of sanitary sewers, storm drains, water mains, site driveway, retaining wall locations, building locations, parking lot design, building drainage structures, utility connections and landscaping plan (with a landscape architecture subconsultant) to meet the City of Portland Technical Standards. Acorn also integrated sidewalk and improvements associated with the project into the City’s Anderson Street ByWay project. Furthermore, the project team worked with a non-profit organization, the Telling Room, to provide public art along the Fox Street streetcape in lieu of traditional fencing. Overall, the project established an important mixed use building on a prominent corner lot adjacent to Kennedy Park which contains popular recreation space. The building houses a restaurant and the Gear Hub bicycle school on the first floor with residential apartments above which encourages an active street presence with housing, goods, and services that help tie the neighborhood together and keep eyes on the street. 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 97 ACORN ENGINEERING, INC. REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS • 667 Congress Street – The Hiawatha The $28 million project included the civil/site engineering design for the 8- story, first floor retail and 139- unit apartment building on Congress Street in Portland. Vehicle parking is served by two levels with separate access from Vernon and Avon St. The project featured building and site design in an historic district adjacent to Longfellow Square. Services included, but is not limited to, permitting with the City of Portland, layout and design of sanitary sewers, storm drains, water mains, pedestrian and vehicle entrances, building locations, parking lot design, and parking garage grading and drainage. Acorn provided significant coordination between the Architect, Structural Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Construction Management Company, Owner, and the City. 65 Hanover St., Portland, ME 04101 207-775-2655 info@acorn-engineering.com 98 Brownfield Assessment & Cleanup Credere specializes in redevelopment planning, engineering, and environmental sciences with a goal of providing services that positively impact the community, economy, and environment using Smart Growth principles. Credere is SBA certified 8(a); DOT certified DBE in ME, NH and MA; and Self-Certified EDWOSB/WOSB. The word “credere” means “to believe” in Italian. Credere is also an acronym for community revitalization, economic development, environmental remediation, and engineering. It was very important to Theresa and Rip Patten when naming the company that the name communicates something more than crediting the owners. The name should embody the company mission: what the company believes, what it aspires to do for its clients, and the means through which it can be achieved. To us, Credere is the perfect name. We believe that we can use our engineering education and our knowledge of environmental remediation to help our clients achieve community revitalization by successful completion of redevelopment projects. It is our small way to make the world a little better. Credere works with planning commissions, municipalities, economic development boards, private developers, and local and federal government agencies to overcome environmental issues that are hindering the redevelopment process. Credere’s mission is to provide services that positively impact the community, economy, and environment that our clients and employees work, live and play. Credere has extensive experience in completing long-term, sustainable Brownfields Programs and private redevelopment projects, which use smart growth principles. The projects include various tasks, such as, environmental assessment, re-use planning and remediation and redevelopment engineering. 99 Marada Adams School – 48 Moody Street, Portland, Maine The 1.5-acre Marada Adams Community School was used as an educational facility from 1958 until 2006, when the school was closed and the property was vacated. Historically, the property contained a complex of buildings occupied by the Portland Railroad Company and a trolley railroad crossed the middle of the site. During the late 1800s, a portion of the property was also used as the Burgess, Forbes & Company White Lead & Color Works facility (a can and hand grenade manufacturer). Credere performed a Phase I assessment at the property in anticipation of a transfer of ownership from the City of Portland to a private non-profit affordable housing developer, AVESTA Housing. Following the sale of the property, Credere performed Phase II activities to investigate potential hazardous building materials and contaminated soil. Based on the Phase II data, the developer was able to anticipate concerns with worker and future residential exposure, and waste soil disposal. Credere helped the development team minimize the financial and logistical impact of these issues though the re-design of the site layout, enrollment in the Maine DEP VRAP program, and attainment of a $200,000 Brownfields cleanup grant. Between 2012 and 2013, Credere oversaw the remediation of hazardous building materials, contaminated soils, and the redevelopment of this site into 16 units of affordable homeownership housing, a public greenway and a playground. The project transformed an underutilized Brownfields site located in an otherwise vibrant neighborhood and returned it to the community. Thornton Heights Commons – 611 Main Street, South Portland, Maine The South Portland Housing Authority acquired the forma St. John parish church, rectory (i.e. a residence for clergy), and a church school in Thornton Heights or South Portland, Maine. The buildings on the 1.81-acre site were severely dilapidated and contained substantial hazardous building materials including lead, asbestos, and PCBs, and soil was contaminated from lead paint around all of the Site buildings. Credere performed several phases of environmental investigation, geotechnical investigation, assisted the housing authority in obtaining a $500,000 EPA Brownfields cleanup grant, and cleanup and redevelopment planning. In 2020, Credere oversaw the solicitation of bids from cleanup contractors and subsequently implemented the abatement and remediation of the site, demolition of the Site buildings, and preparation of the site for redevelopment. The project is currently moving to construction of a 46,000 square foot four-story mixed-use affordable housing projected that will include parking for seventy vehicles, 100 a 10,000 s.f. community open space, and three new single-family house lots. The building will consist of 42 apartments on the three upper floors, a community space, and 7,000 s.f. of commercial space on the ground floor. State Street School – 261 Center Street, Brewer, Maine The State Street School was a 6,630-square foot two-story building that was constructed in 1948. The Site building was operated as an elementary school from 1948 until June 2011 and was vacant thereafter. Based on assessment work completed at the Site by Credere and others, asbestos, lead, and universal and/or hazardous waste were considered to be contaminants of concern. Credere assisted the City in remediation planning and environmental clean activities, which included abatement and removal of asbestos; universal, special, and hazardous waste; and lead-based paint building debris in accordance with the Maine DEP VRAP. To support the redevelopment of the Site, Credere completed a geotechnical engineering evaluation and provided recommendations for the design and construction of the 48-unit Community Housing of Maine (CHOM) affordable housing development. This was the first multi-family passive building in ME and in New England, and at the time, was the largest passive housing building anywhere in the country. As part of this work, Credere conducted a subsurface exploration program, which included laboratory testing, evaluating subsurface conditions, and completing geotechnical engineering analyses including settlement and bearing capacity calculations and limited stability assessment of proposed excavations. 101 SITE SITE LOCATION MAP MAY 2020 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE + URBAN 102 DESIGN + GRAPHICS ACETO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS | WWW.ACETOLA.COM SITE HISTORIC CONTEXT (pre 295 construction) MAY 2020 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE + URBAN 103 DESIGN + GRAPHICS ACETO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS | WWW.ACETOLA.COM B2 B2 R3 R3 ROS R5 R5 IM SITE ROS R5 B1 R6 B2 RP R6 R5 B2 R6 R6 B5 R6 ZONING MAP MAY 2020 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE + URBAN 104 DESIGN + GRAPHICS ACETO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS | WWW.ACETOLA.COM TRANSIT STOP SITE TRANSIT STOP VICINITY TO TRANSIT MAY 2020 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE + URBAN 105 DESIGN + GRAPHICS ACETO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS | WWW.ACETOLA.COM AERIAL MAY 2020 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE + URBAN 106 DESIGN + GRAPHICS ACETO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS | WWW.ACETOLA.COM DOUGLASS STREET E ET SS ST EXISTING HOMES, SINGLE AND MULTI-FAMILY R GRE CON R.OW.

Lambert Village Proposal (RFP 20068) Overarching goal: “Beautiful, Sustainable, Attainable, High Performance Co-operative Village” Lambert Village creates a pedestrian friendly, closely knit “pocket neighborhood” of highly energy efficient, family-oriented, factory-built, single-family-style homes and neighborhood amenities at the two sites totaling 13.39 acres at 165 Lambert Street in the North Deering neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Lambert Village will be structured as a limited-equity housing co-operative (“Co-op”) developed by a partnership of highly experienced development and co- op professionals. We see this as a unique opportunity to use innovative legal, financial and design models to create an environmentally sustainable, family-oriented homeownership community with permanent affordability. Co-op housing communities are democratically owned and operated. From a governance and decision-making standpoint, co-ops are inherently the most participatory and collaborative form of housing. Traditional single family homeownership is autocratic. Condominium ownership is like a United Nations of autocracies. Co-op home ownership builds closer, more collaborative communities --- a village. The innovative, clustered landscape and building design of Lambert Village honors and supports these democratic and community building principles. In addition to collaborative governance, the co-op structure permits innovative financing through the HUD Section 213 program. The favorable loan-to-cost, interest rate and amortization terms of Section 213 loans are far more supportive of the high-cost of new construction than conventional residential financing. Furthermore, the model deemphasizes individual credit scores by placing a blanket mortgage on the entire cooperative rather than individual mortgages on each home. We expect that Lambert Village will appeal primarily to renters who desire the control that homeownership affords but might otherwise have difficulty qualifying for a sufficient individual mortgage. Secondarily, we imagine that Lambert Village will appeal to households that value the Village’s innovative design and community characteristics. Finally, Lambert Village will form under the Maine Cooperative Affordable Housing Act (13 M.R.S. §§ 1741, et seq.) which is specifically designed to create permanently affordable housing consistent with the City’s goals. Proposed Use to Achieve the City of Portland’s Goals Market Demand (20 Points) 100% of Lambert Village’s homes will be permanently affordable for households earning between 60%-100% of Area Median Income (AMI). Economic Diversity (10 Points) Lambert Village provides housing options which promote economic diversity in the neighborhood by serving a range of incomes. The ability to support economic diversity will be directly proportional to the City’s ability to support the project through the contribution of land, tax increment financing, etc. Age Inclusive (10 Points) Lambert Village will provide age-inclusive housing. The homes of Lambert Village will be efficiently sized (~1,250 square feet) yet with enough bedrooms (3) and bathrooms (2) to serve young couples, families, empty nesters and multigenerational families. Co-op ownership, shared spaces, and management of the Co-op by the Cooperative Development Institute will cultivate community cohesion which will both benefit from and serve multigenerational households. 1 Eng Proposal for RFP 20068 Impact on Surrounding Neighborhood: Project Design (15 points) Our proposal is consistent with the design characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood. The 13.39 acre site is currently bounded by open space, single family homes and streets. By using a single family home form factor in an innovative “pocket neighborhood” site design, the structures will be consistent with existing homes. The site design offers separation from neighbors and the streets while also improving access to existing trails by creating green space and pathways connecting transit, trails, and sidewalks that are welcoming to existing neighbors, bikers, pedestrians, and children. Our site design preserves the existing wetlands and open space for wildlife. The site also offers the potential to create community center resources for the neighboring community if the Co-op and the City can agree on an appropriate partnership. Amenities and unit design (10 points) Amenities & unit design have been well thought out and are appropriate for residents. The layout of the neighborhood is intended to foster a sense of community and initiate interaction amongst home owners, while providing privacy and sense of personal ownership. Front porches and stoops face the green, cars are consolidated outside the communal green, and a network of trails connect to Washington Avenue extension transit stop as well as regional trail networks. The current unit mix for the Co-op is twenty to forty-five 3br, 2ba, 1,250 sf single family homes depending on the success of rezoning as discussed below. Applicant's ability to complete the project, including financial feasibility, development team experience, capacity, and timeframe for completion. (35 points total) ● Readiness to proceed (15 points) We have letters of commitment or interest from all projected sources of funding except where procurement rules disallow. ● Track record of development team (10 points) Every development team member has a successful track record with this type of project and at this scale. ● Current capacity of development team (10 points) Our development team members have exceptional depth of human and financial resources to complete this project. See attachments for details. Proposed Re-zoning To accommodate the innovative clustering of single-family style homes in the attached plans, based on discussions with City Staff, we will likely require a contract zone (or a judgment by the planning board that the co-operative structure would classify the homes as Multifamily under the Zoning Ordinance). Alternatively, the project should also work as a R-3 or R-5 PRUD (which would require a form-factor change of some or all homes from single-family style to duplex style). Either approach should be financially feasible and create the maximum number of affordable homes while honoring the design characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and the innovative site plan. 2 Eng Proposal for RFP 20068 C. Financial Feasibility Please note that the financial feasibility numbers are for a 20-home Phase 1. The site design also contemplates a Phase 2 of 26 homes for a total of 46 homes.

Occupancy and Management Plan Present a plan detailing the ownership structure (condominium, cooperative, etc.), resale restrictions and resale process, to ensure mixed income and long-term affordability. The Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) will be responsible for the creation of the cooperative ownership and management structure and ensure implementation of the permanent affordability provisions. Andy Reicher, executive director of UHAB, which manages 25,000 units of limited equity cooperative housing in New York City, will be a consultant to CDI to set up a structure to train future residents in managing their buildings, and using lessons learned and management fees to seed future cooperative ownership projects. Lambert Village will be a limited equity cooperative, meaning that residents rent from an entity of which they are an owner. This type of cooperative is democratically owned and operated similar to a condo structure, but allows for a wider range of income affordability, as the share price is low and residents do not have to qualify for a mortgage. The construction loan becomes a long- term loan paid by the association. Resident-owners pay an up-front share price similar to a down payment, then have a monthly payment similar to rent or a mortgage based on the actual operating costs of the property. New residents must meet the income requirements, and monthly carrying costs must not exceed 30% of the income bands based on Area Median Income (AMI). These rules continue in perpetuity. 7 Eng Proposal for RFP 20068 There are currently over 20 households of prospective residents that have been meeting for over a year. The group includes multiple established immigrant families that share a vision of mixed-income ownership housing with shared community facilities and outdoor space. The development team will continue to work with these residents to crystalize their vision and recruit more households. The homes will be principal residences and will not be used for the conduct of business (except for a home occupation allowed under the City of Portland zoning ordinance) or as investment properties. Units may not be rented for short-term periods of one to thirty days. G. Purchase Price We propose that the City contribute the land to the Lambert Village cooperative at no cost. Doing so would serve to balance the cost of new construction against the objective of maximizing permanent affordability for an economically diverse range of households. That said, the financial model is very favorable and could support the twenty cooperative households paying the city for land acquisition, either upfront or over time. We welcome a discussion of these possible outcomes. 8 Attachment C EXISTING LOTS EXISTING PRESERVED OPEN SPACE LOT IL O TO SEA TRA SEBAG WETLANDS WASH. AVE EXT. ST.

CDI provides expert assistance, organizational development, and support to groups undertaking cooperative development. In the past decade, CDI has helped create 47 new Resident Owned Communities (ROCs) in New England, representing 4,479 households. 8 of the ROCs are conversions of manufactured home parks in Maine. CDI’s role is to help form new cooperatives, train residents, and ensure that the cooperative has the support it needs to remain permanently affordable. Our intention is that at Lambert St., CDI will: ○ Lead the creation of the new Co-op entity. ○ Lead resident training and resident participation in the construction phase. ○ Create and administer a long-term management plan that would meet the city's TIF requirements to ensure that the property meets the city’s affordability metrics for at least 30 years. ○ Be the long term training & support organization for the Co-op. We are pleased with the proposal and the development team, and hope to be part of this exciting project! Sincerely, Noémi Giszpenc Executive Director June, 2020 To whom it may concern: We are writing in support of the Lambert Village proposal to build housing on the parcel put to RFP by the City of Portland. Some of us have been meeting for the last 2 years to explore strategies to build affordable home ownership housing in Portland that builds community among people of different ages, incomes, and cultural backgrounds. Several months ago, we came to the conclusion that Limited Equity Cooperative Housing was the best way to accomplish this. Limited Equity Cooperatives combines the accessibility of renting with the long-term stability and autonomy of homeownership. We are delighted that this development team has come together to bring Limited Equity Cooperative Housing to Portland and enthusiastically support their projects. We are especially excited about the effort to create designs that will maximize interaction with outdoor spaces, gardens and shared spaces that can be used by residents. We also appreciate their effort to include us and existing neighbors in their early design efforts. We are excited about the location, and hope that we will have the opportunity to become future residents! Sincerely, 1. Cynthia A. Grier, 1227 Westbrook Street, Apt #2, Portland, ME 04102 2.

We have reviewed a financing request, including initial plans, pro forma operating budget, the construction budget and initial market information for Lambert Street Cooperative in Portland, ME. In addition, we have reviewed the experience of the overall development team. Based on this review, we feel that this project is an excellent candidate for financing and will conform to all the requirements to qualify for construction and permanent financing through the FHA 213 program. We feel that this is the right time and place to create a new affordable cooperative given the advantages this particular form of housing provide to its members, primarily affordable home ownership and a greater sense of community. Having now completed this structuring phase, we have now entered the formal application stage for the FHA 213 mortgage insurance and believe that Lambert Street Cooperative has a high likelihood of success over the coming year in obtaining a 40 year, low interest loan for the project of approximately $6,935,200. Additional subordinated financing would serve to further increase that likelihood. We also believe that success at Lambert Street Cooperative will open an entirely new avenue for affordable housing finance in the state of Maine by making the FHA 213 program finance accepted in the market. Centennial Mortgage has substantial expertise and experience completing FHA financing transactions. We are very active in lending to cooperative housing projects throughout the country. Cooperative housing provides a unique form of home ownership and we are actively working with several groups to create new home ownership at affordable prices. Personally, I have been involved in cooperative housing for over 20 years, through financing and serving on the board of the National Association of Housing Cooperatives. Phone: 202-415-1862 Email: hjeffers@centennialmortgage.com We encourage other funding sources to join us in supporting this innovative project and creating up to 98% leverage for future projects through this program.

In doing so, the lesson we learned from decades of growth is very simple: what has always mattered most for affordable housing is community. It is the strength and support that comes from the community inside a co-op that is just as essential as the affordable housing itself. With this in mind, UHAB is proud to offer new and exp†nded programs to low- income homeowners with a refined lens on our work. We have more data and research than ever on the long-term impacts of redlining policies and how communities of color have been resilient in their efforts to remain in their homes, whether in the 1970s or today. By building new affordable co-ops, strengthening tenants’ rights statewide, making share loans through our HomeOwnership Lending program, and working in cooperation with our Interboro Community Land Trust partners to create the first Citywide CLT in New York City, we are actively working to dismantle the detrimental legacies of redlining and community disinvestment. As we look toward the future, our work is expanding in several ways. We are offering more services like Co-ops Go Solar and our energy programs that are tackling the most pressing issue of our lifetime: the climate crisis. Without renewable energy and carbon reduction, low-income residents more than anyone will be affected. Most importantly, we need to recognize that it is not just low-income communities, but people of color in particular who are disproportionately affected by this crisis, just as they have been marginalized from fair and stable housing. UHAB’s CDFI, HomeOwnership Lending, helps ensure that a family is not denied the opportunity to purchase because they don’t have the money to be an all cash buyer. This program makes small loans where other lenders are reluctant and in this way supporting our HDFC and Mitchell Lama co-op communities °ÉК “ÐÉê°Éï°É¨ to ÜßÐú°™ affordable housing. The interest in co-ops and our work is expanding not just in New York City, but in upstate New York where residents can securely remain in their mobile homes; to New Haven, CT where the nearly 50-year old Seabury Co-op struggles to keep up with its aging infrastructure; and to Seattle, WA where a new permanently affordable co-op is being created. UHAB is excited to be assisting a new City financed co-op development program in Oakland, CA and we continue to meet with Ðߨ†É°Ć†ê°ÐÉãК†É™Кofficials in other cities who are seriously considering the limited-equity model. We have come a long way and welcome our next chapter of growth. Sincerely, Andrew Reicher, Executive Director Community through Cooperation UHAB empowers low- to moderate-income residents to take control of their housing and enhance communities by creating strong tenant associations and lasting affordable co-ops. Our Principles I. Continual Learning & Self Help III. Economic Empowerment & Sustainability When residents take the lead on everything from UHAB provides access to affordable, high-quality creating, managing, and preserving their own resources covering areas of energy, finance, co-ops to advocating for affordable housing democratic participation and education. These policy reform, this not only improves buildings tools help residents maintain lower costs of and neighborhoods, but it transforms lives as living while helping to demystify financial well. Ongoing education and training is the key to technicalities. With support and guidance, all preserving affordable housing cooperatives and residents should be able to read and manage strong tenant associations. their finances, in order to make informed decisions about their operating costs. II. Democratic Residential Control & Shared Equity Transparent leadership and the participation of a majority of residents—each contributing unique skills and perspectives—make democratic governing and organizing possible. This collective control of housing helps prioritize a shared equity that keeps affordabiilty manageable for future incoming residents. Housing Justice is Racial Justice This map overlays the location of modern-day HDFC co-ops with redlined neighborhoods from the 1930s. Redlining was a discriminatory housing practice that devalued neighborhoods where people of color lived and made it difficult for people of color to secure safe, affordable housing. In this map, the deepest shade of grey represents the least economically desirable neighborhoods. In the 1970s and 1980s, landlord abandonment and arson led to City foreclosure on thousands of occupied buildings in these same neighborhoods, creating the conditions for the self-help housing movement and the creation of thousands of HDFCs. Through organizing and self-help initiatives, community-controlled housing arose as a way for low-income peoplК†É™ people of color to take control of their housing solutions when the government and private sector would not. Today, neighborhoods like Harlem, the South Bronx, and Central Brooklyn ãê°ÂÂКstruggle with the legacy of redliningϡ high air pollution, increased heat waves, higher poverty rates, and gentrification †ÂÂКthreaten to displace longtime residents from neighborhoods that were once û°™ÂāКabandoned. Through it all, community control remains a tool to provide New Yorkers with decent, affordable housing. HDFCК“ÐЁÐÜs are anchors in their neighborhoods, providing a safe haven to raise families and age in place. Tenant unions build power among renters and win victories like stronger rent laws. `­ßÐ鶴КÐïßКûÐß¿ϗКUHAB helps people of color control, manage, and improve their homes. We know from experience that most of the low- to moderate- income residents in the buildings we serve are Black or Latinx. Our goal is to have as many people from the communities we serve reflected in our organization’s leadership and programs. Currently, †ßÐïə 60% of our Board and ÜßШ߆ÈКãtaff are people of colorϗК†É™КÈÐߝ than half of our organiz†tion is bilingual in English and Spanish, fulfilling an essential need for our Spanish-speaking HDFC board members and residents.
