(IMPROVEMENT PROJECT No. 775)
REOUESTED ACTION
This is a public hearing regarding the proposed transfer of city owned property at 5207 Pennsylvania Avenue
North to Avery Homes, Inc. Staff will give a short presentation and any comments from the public should be
taken during this meeting. At the conclusion of the public hearing, staff recommends that the EDA approve a
motion closing the public hearing and then approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to
execute the enclosed purchase agreement for the sale of the property to Avery Homes, Inc. for the
redevelopment of the lot into a single family owner occupied housing unit. If the purchase agreement is
approved, the property will be transferred to A very Homes during the week of June 27, 2005.
POLICY/P AST PRACTICE
City goal #2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within
the city. The City Council has been addressing the residential portion of this goal through the city's many
housing activities, including acquiring properties from willing sellers in designated redevelopment areas.
BACKGROUND
The EDA acquired the property at 5207 Pennsylvania Avenue North in November 2004. The house on the
property was demolished and the site prepared for redevelopment. City staff distributed redevelopment
specifications in April 2005 and at its meeting of May 23, 2005, the EDA selected Avery Homes, Inc. as the
preferred developer for the site.
A very Homes submitted a house plan that proposed the construction of a two story homes with 2,406 square
feet of finished living space with an unfinished basement that would have the plumbing "roughed in" for
future expansion of the living space. The plans proposed the construction of an attached two car garage and

the existing 30'x30' garage on the site would be refurbished to match the existing home. The EDA selected
the plans submitted by Avery Homes with the following conditions:
1. The developer constructs a rear patio on the home.
2. The curb cut width is reduced to 24 feet so that it is in compliance with the New Hope City Code.
RECOMMENDATION
At the conclusion of the public hearing, city staff would recommend that the EDA close the public hearing
