Topic: 

A Resolution to Approve the Lease Property Located at 7252 Fifth Street, Remington, Virginia, to Fauquier Housing Corporation for Use as an Affordable Rental Unit

Topic Description:

In January 2005, the Board of Supervisors authorized the acquisition of property in Remington located at 7252 Fifth Street in order to provide future access to adjoining property of twenty-eight (28) that is intended to be improved as a future park.  The property includes an existing residential unit that requires some improvement.  Fauquier County could manage and improve the structure but it is suggested that it may be more appropriate to lease the property to Fauquier Housing to improve and mange as an affordable rental unit.  Attached is a draft lease.  General provisions of the lease are: that it be managed as an affordable unit, that it be made available to Fauquier Housing for a five (5) year period and that Fauquier Housing would have the responsibility of improving the property and the opportunity for rental income from the property.  If the lease is terminated prior to the five (5) year term, Fauquier County would provide a pro-rate reimbursement to Fauquier Housing for the expenditures required to improve the structure. 

Requested Action of the Board of Supervisors: 

Consider adoption of the attached resolution.
