Comments:
The buildings are structurally sound but suffer from age, obsolescence and lack of modern amenities. The
plans for the project include replacing out-dated and inefficient heating/air conditioning systems with high
energy-efficient heat pumps, replacing all windows with vinyl low-E glass insulated windows, replacing
exterior doors, installing new storm doors, new patios with enclosed fencing and new exterior lighting. Other
significant repairs/replacements that must be addressed include electrical breaker panels, and GFI outlets
in the kitchens and bathrooms. To improve the appearance of the buildings, gable-covered entrances will
be added to each unit, round columns at front porches, additional building accents and new gutters/
downspouts installed.
The interiors of the units require substantial renovation and modernization. While there have been sporadic
upgrades in some units over the years, all of the units require upgrading. As a result of a Phase I
Environmental Assessment performed in 2004, asbestos was observed in some flooring which will require
abatement and/or encapsulation during the rehabilitation of the units. Bathroom wall-hung sinks, toilets,
plumbing fixtures and cabinets will be replaced in existing baths. The refrigerators and stoves will be
replaced with frost-free refrigerators with icemakers and stoves with self-cleaning ovens. New appliances
will include a dishwasher and disposal. Appliances will be energy star-compliant. Most cabinetry and
countertops will require replacement due to age, appearance and condition. The floors in all units will be
replaced with carpet in living areas and new vinyl in kitchens and baths. Interior walls will undergo
sheetrock repairs and painting and all interior doors, frames and hardware will be replaced. Units will have
new updated light fixtures and mini-blinds.
In addition, the developer plans to construct a Community Center of approximately 1371 net heated square
feet, which will not only include a rental office and laundry facility; but will include space for resident
activities including a computer lab, business center, activity/game room with TV and resource center. The
community center will also have a public restroom and kitchenette. The property will employ an onsite
manager and maintenance supervisor and as needed, part-time leasing and janitorial staff.
Site improvements will include restoration of the existing parking areas, a new mail kiosk, new playground
equipment, outdoor seating areas, a picnic area with grill and covered picnic shelter. Existing landscaping
will be augmented with new plantings. Existing clotheslines will also be removed from the property.
For specific detail of planned rehabilitation of the physical aspects, see attached Scope of Work.
The goal of the rehabilitation of Chowan Court II is to improve the quality of life of the residents not only
through the physical improvement of their living environment but also in the provision of community
services. The Town of Edenton shares this vision by their support of this application.
Other:
Vinyl shutters, Vinyl insulated Low-E glass windows and full view tempered glass storm doors.

Site Amenities:
Furnished Community Center/Building with Kitchenette, Computer Lab, Business Center, and Management
Offices. Other amenities planned include a fenced Playground/Tot Lot, Picnic Area with grill, Picnic Shelter,

access to the internet and to provide the necessary tools for computer-related training and adult educational
courses. Service coordination will be provided to link programs and services available in the community to
the residents. Particular emphasis will be placed on programs for children; including, but not limited to after-
school and summer activities.
Landscaping Plans:

extensive re-landscaping.
Do you plan to submit additional market data (market study, etc.) that you want considered? No
If yes, please make sure to include the additional information in your pre-application packet.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
The property is located within a well established residential neighborhood that has remained relatively
stable over the last 10 to 15 years. Most of the economic growth has been in other areas within Edenton.
The physical condition of the buildings and improvements are functionally sound but suffer from age and
lack of modernization. There is no concentration of affordable housing in the immediate area with the other
affordable housing in Edenton being located outside of the immediate neighborhood throughout the town.
Land use pattern is residential in character (single and multifamily housing). Extent that the location is
isolated. Effect of industrial, large-scale institutional or other incompatible uses, including but not limited to:
wastewater treatment facilities, high traffic corridors, junkyards, prisons, landfills, large swamps, distribution
facilities, frequently used railroad tracks, power transmission lines and towers, factories or similar operations,
sources of excessive noise, and sites with environmental concerns (such as odors or pollution). Amount and
character of vacant, undeveloped land. The property is located within a well established residential
neighborhood. The areas to the immediate south and west of the property are comprised of vacant land and
low density residential development. The areas north and east of the property are primarily comprised of
single family homes. There are no large scale industrial, institutional or incompatible uses within the
surrounding neighborhood.
SITE SUITABILITY
Adequate traffic safety controls (i.e. stop lights, speed limits, turn lanes). Burden on public facilities
(particularly roads). Access to mass transit (if applicable). Visibility of buildings and/or location of project sign
(s) in relation to traffic corridors. Access to the property is by way of Martin Luther King Boulevard (formerly
West Albemarle), a public road running east and west to the north of the site. MLK is a widely traveled road
and is a connector to more major thoroughfares in Edenton. The surrounding roads that service the area
contain adequate traffic controls, namely stop signs and pose no additional burdens on public facilities. The
Town of Edenton has a very limited mass transit system that consists of a few trolleys through the more
historical parts of town. The closest trolley stop is approximately 3/4 mile from the property. The buildings
and project sign are clearly visible from the access points.
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).
There are no major negative features or physical barriers that will impede rehabilitation of this property. The
existence of asbestos in the floor tile mastic that will need to be encapsulated will make the rehabilitation
more difficult but does not present an obstacle to the successful completion of the proposed rehabilitation.
