<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Thanks Daniel,</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Unfortunately, it's
unlikely that <u>any</u> of the ADU's that will be created will
be SHI eligible. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The most likely ADU
creators will be:</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">~Mom and Pop - making an
apartment for their offspring <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">~Existing homeowners
looking to gain equity and also receive rental income</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">~Investment Entities - Buy,
add ADU and flip... or be long term landlords over 2 units.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I don't see any of those
putting a deed rider on their ADU. They'll build, get an
Occupancy Permit and charge a few dollars more per month than
the going rate for a comparable unit in the vicinity. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Unless Affordable Housing
Trusts "Buy" the Riders, I really don't see any of those going
onto the SH Inventory. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">I
think way too much time is being focused on a probability
that is extremely remote. Condominium Associations generally
control anything outside the walls of the existing
structures. Even to the point of some association fees cover
replacing roofing shingles and decks. In that scenario, you
may have an exclusive use area, but are limited as to what
you can place in that exclusive use area by the Association.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">So,
the first hurdle, likely to not be overcome, is that the
condo association will not allow a 900 sf structure in
anyone’s exclusive use areas – note I have seen many that do
not allow swing sets or sheds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">Second
hurdle is that most condominium associations have limits on
rentals. So that will probably further lead to a rejection
of an ADU by the association.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">As
the ADU would mean that there are additional users of
association common areas and services, the Condo documents
will all need to be redrafted to reassign common costs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">As
the state expects there to be 8,000 to 10,000 ADU’s
constructed statewide over the next five years, or 1,600 –
2,000 per year, spread across all 351 cities and towns, so
maybe 5 to 6 ADU’s per community per year, if they are
spread evenly, communities should stop thinking up crazy
roadblocks to meeting one small part of the housing puzzle.
This is not just a response to your issue, but to the other
remote concepts raised. Do we really need to discuss the
idea of an ADU being built in the parking lot of a
multi-family building? Is there any real probability that a
three bedroom condominium unit might be split into two-units
with one considered an ADU? If such a scenario were to
arise in the next five years, it will probably only affect
one of the 10,000 units. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

we need to focus on how to actually get some of these units

for getting these SHI eligible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

so if the condo was on one lot and had 20 units,
only one ADU would be permitted. Of course, the
Condo R&Rs would need some level of specificity
(likely lacking now) that would facilitate how that
could be done. They also deemed the “primary
