The Board is also requested to waive the outstanding principal and penalty. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $10,462.50 ­ Waiver of outstanding principal balance 5,000.00 ­ Penalty stipulated in the original LDA $15,462.50 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On October 5, 2005, the City approved a land disposition agreement (LDA) with the Developer for the acquisition of 2211, 2213, 2215, 2230, 2244, 2246, 2252, and 2254 Linden Ave. The transaction was structured so that the eight members of the Linden Tree, LLC were to be end-purchasers of the rehabilitated homes from Linden Tree, LLC. The City granted a Purchase Money Mortgage in the amount of $83,700.00 to Linden Tree, LLC. The eight individual properties were to be collateral for the loan. As each property was sold to the Linden Tree, LLC member, the homebuyer was to assume $10,462.50 (1/8th) of the outstanding principal of the mortgage as a second mortgage against the buyer's primary residence. The Linden Tree, LLC also was successful in obtaining rehabilitation financing with Bradford Bank. The transaction proceeded as structured for seven of the eight properties. The eighth member fled the area and left the Linden Tree, LLC with the property and outstanding debt to their lender and the City. Because of the eighth member not adhering to their obligations, the Linden Tree, LLC began having difficulty in meeting scheduled payments on the secured note to Bradford. The Bradford Bank was approaching a foreclosure against the Linden Tree, LLC and eventually sold the note to Jubilee Baltimore, Inc. There currently is an outstanding balance on the note of approximately $58,000.00. 45 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 04/06/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd Linden Tree, LLC has entered into a contract of sale with Druid Heights CDC to purchase the property for the appraised value of $74,000.00. The Jubilee Baltimore, Inc. has agreed to accept $48,000.00 as payment in full for its note. The Linden Tree, LLC has also incurred expenses including additional carrying costs in the amount of approximately $30,000.00. The LDA contains a provision that forbids the sale of encumbered properties to anyone other than a homeowner. The LDA calls for the full repayment of the outstanding amount of $10,462.50 pertaining to the individual property and penalty of $5,000.00. The City will waive the outstanding principal balance and penalty as provided under the LDA dated October 5, 2005, in accordance with the Purchase Money Mortgage Agreement. The City's waiver of the outstanding debt and release of the LDA requirements is integral to the pending sale to Druid Heights CDC and will allow the property to ultimately wind up in the hands of an owner-occupant. This request is made in consideration for Linden Tree's exhibited commitment to the community and their pioneering work in facilitating a significant group of rehabilitated properties.
