The building will be V-shaped and situated inside the corner of three streets: Depot Street, Barlett Street, and Ralph Street. The street-side elevations of the building will be brick and concrete construction to mimic the industrial and river-front character of surrounding buildings. Architectural features will include a frieze above doorways and windows, bulkheads, large display windows, and french balconies on upper level apartments. The interior of the V will be constructed with more modern materials to reflect the distinctive character of the surrounding buildings. Materials will include steel, concrete, and glass. Finally, portions of the building will take advantage of green roof technologies to allow plantings. Have you built other tax credit developments that use the same building design as this project? No If yes, please provide name and address:
Site Amenities: Community Service Facility-3,000+ sf, sitting areas, covered parking, bike racks, bus shelter, exercise room, resident computer center, high speed internet and wi-fi access, flagpole, playground, garden spot, library, picnic area, interior/exterior protected terrace (5,889 sf) and recreation area, greenway, stream restoration, connection by greenway to planned single family homeownership units also constructed by MHO.
Onsite Activities: 1) after school tutoring and arts programs for children & high school youth; 2)health screenings and health services; 3) GED training; 4) ESL training; 5) financial literacy programs; 6) homebuyer education; and other activities as desired by residents.
Landscaping Plans: For this urban site, nontraditional landscaping will include streetscape trees and shrubs along sidewalks and walkways, above ground planters in open hardscape areas, a green roofing system on one portion of the roof, native plantings near the banks of the stream dissecting the site. An important feature will be pedestrian links between Ralph Street and Depot Street as shown on our site plan. A beautiful historic concrete bridge will provide a link both between the two streets as well as from the area between the newly constructed builing and the Glen Rock Hotel. As shown on our site plan, the "paper" street, Else Alley, will be reopened as a pedestrian walkway. Interior Apartment Amenities: Range, hood, dishwasher, disposal, refrigerator, storage, mini-blinds, ceiling fans, carpet, vinyl, ceramic tile, central air, heat pump, internet access.
Do you plan to submit additional market data (market study, etc.) that you want considered? Yes If yes, please make sure to include the additional information in your pre-application packet.
Degree of on-site negative features and physical barriers that will impede project construction or adversely affect future tenants; for example: power transmission lines and towers, flood hazards, steep slopes, large boulders, ravines, year-round streams, wetlands, and other similar features (for adaptive re-use projects- suitability for residential use and difficulties posed by the building(s), such as limited parking, environmental problems or the need for excessive demolition). The boundary of the LIHTC development includes a small stream, Town Branch. As part of the overall project, we will clean up this stream and develop a greenway along it that has been identified on the City's Master Greenway Plan. This stream is planned as a natural amenity to the site. MHO has utilized streams and other water features on our sites for many years as constructed wetlands, planted detention ponds, recreation, and environmental education areas and we have won several awards for these endeavors. We will employ a team of landscape architects and seasoned stream restoration experts to assist in this aspect of the project.
Similarity of scale and aesthetics/architecture between project and surroundings. Both the scale and aesthetics of the proposed development are similar to surrounding properties. The facade of the building will mimic features of an adjacent building (the Glen Rock Hotel, circa 1930). Construction will include brick and other masonry materials included on many of the older buildings in the river arts district. In addition, the inclusion of residential living space above commercial space takes on the feel of similar rehabilitation projects in the area.

City leagues play ball on this field every day in the spring, summer and fall. A public outdoor pool is on Walton Street, about one-half mile from the Glen Rock. A bus stop is one block away and includes a covered stop. A locally owned and operated and well maintained neighborhood store with gas station, laundromat, deli (serves over 500 lunches per day) and car cleaning center is adjacent to the Glen Rock. Three full service grocery stores are within 1.5 miles of the Glen Rock: Earth Fare, the French Broad Coop, and Asheville's newest and most popular food store, Greenlife. A bank/credit union is one block from the Glen Rock. The hospital is .9 miles from the Glen Rock and a medical clinic serving low income families with volunteer doctors is one-half mile from the Glen Rock-ABCCM Medical Clinic. As mentioned previously, the W.C. Reid Center offering arts programming and after school care for children is one half mile from the center and is currently undergoing a $3 million renovation. Many of the amenities mentioned here that are within walking distance can be reached by contiguous sidewalk. Dixon Elementary School is 1.5 miles from the Glen Rock, Asheville Middle School is six-tenths of a mile from the site, and Asheville High School is nine-tenths of a mile from the Glen Rock.

* Net Rental Income escalated at annual rate of 3% and expenses escalated at a rate of 4% after the first year.
Calculations:
1. "Net Rental/Other Income" comes from 1st-year cash flow, then it is escalated by 3% per year. 2. "Total Operating Expenses" comes from 1st-year cash flow, then it is escalated by 4% per year. 3. "Debt Service" is the sum of "regular/amortized loan debt service + non-amortizing annual service" as entered by user from Funding Sources section. 4. "Net Cash Flow" is "Net Rental/Other Income" minus "Total Operating Expenses" minus "Debt Service". 5. "Debt Coverage Ratio" is ("Net Rental/Other Income" minus "Total Operating Expenses") divided by "Debt Service".
