Market Study Information


Please provide a detailed description of the proposed project:
The proposed project, Jarvis Landing, is located in Jarvisburg, NC. The site is on the southern peninsula of
Currituck County and is approximately 8.5 miles from the Wright Memorial Bridge and Dare County. The
parcel is 15.4 acres with roads and water lines already installed. The project proposes to build 23 duplex
buildings resulting in 46 units of affordable housing. The duplexes have been attractively designed to blend
well with the homes in the region as well be energy and resource efficient. The project will be a mix of 2 and
3 bedroom units. Also included in the development will be a community building, playground, laundry
facilities, sidewalks and mulch walking trails, as well as other community amenities. The site will have
abundant open space and natural vegetation with at least 30% of the existing trees preserved.

Construction (check all that apply):

Brick Vinyl Wood HardiPlank Balconies/Patios Sunrooms Front Porches

Front Gables or Dormers Wide Banding or Vertical/Horizontal Siding

Other:

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:
The club house will include community space for resident meetings and activities, on-site managers office,
resident computer center, screened porch and covered porch, community kitchen, laundry facilities (Energy
Star Certified), and mail boxes. The club house and public amenities are centralized so they will promote
socialization, safety, and walking. A shaded exterior seating area overlooks the fenced playground which is
also visible from the laundry room, computer center, and property manager’s office.

The site will also include a playground with benches and bike racks, a covered picnic area and walking trail.

All apartments have private exterior entrances which creates definable space for each unit while
encouraging interaction among neighbors.

Onsite Activities:
The resdients will have access to tenant counseling, homeownership counseling and training provided by
Outer Banks CDC as the service coordinator. A resident council will be established. The Council will be
assisted to implement a Neighborhood Watch Program and to evaluate other programs that would meet the
needs of the residents. Typical activities could include social gatherings, pot luck dinners, movie night,
game night, etc.

Print - APP09-0062

Landscaping Plans:
Over 30% of the site will remain open space and as many of the existing trees as possible will be
preserved. An undisturbed vegetative buffer will remain along the northern and western property lines. A
mulch walking trail around the site will promote site connectivity, walking, and interaction with nature. A
portion of the walking trail will be handicap accessible.

Foundation plantings and lawns will be installed to soften the façade and provide green space. Drought
tolerant and NC native species will be utilized in the landscaping. Planting will be coordinated with benches
and the playground so public areas will have areas of shade as the trees mature.

Interior Apartment Amenities:


All apartments will include large closets, a pantry, dining area. Large open living areas and bedrooms with
adequate wall space for furniture. The orientation of the windows will provide abundant amounts of natural
lighting in the bedrooms and living spaces.

All units will be Energy Star Certified for energy efficiency. Energy Star rated refrigerators and dishwashers
and washer/dryer connections are provided.

Indoor air quality will be improved through measures including kitchen and bath fans that exhaust to the
exterior, use of low VOC paints and primers, and a tight envelope for the building exterior.

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.

Applicant's Site Evaluation


Briefly describe your site in each of the following categories:

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.
Jarvisburg is located on a peninsula at the southern end of Currituck County. The proposed site for Jarvis
Landing is a 15.4 acre site just off of US 158/Caratoke Highway. The project site is 8.5 miles north of the
Wright Memorial Bridge, Kitty Hawk, Dare County, and the beaches of the Outer Banks. This region is
anticipated to be a growth area for the Outer Banks. The project conforms to the land development plan of
the county. The lack of affordable housing options leaves low income residents with limited options for
housing.

Property surrounding site:


• North: The area to the north is residential; the properties in this area are in good repair. Zoning in the area
is R and GB
• South: The area to the South is residential and undeveloped; the properties in this area are in good repair.
Zoning in the area is R.
• East: The area to the east is undeveloped, zoned GB
• West: The area to the west is undeveloped, zoned R

Currituck County’s population and economy have seen sharp growth greater than the state average. Since
July 2000, the population of Currituck County has grown faster (5.2 percent annual average) than all the
counties in the state, except two (Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce website). The counties employment
grew 2.5 percent in 2006. Since November 2000, the Outer Banks economy has experienced an average
annual increase in employment of 4.2 percent, while during the same period the state grew by only 1.3
percent. While Currituck has been affected by the downturn in the national economy, the impact on the
county has been less than in other regions. According to the Employment Security Commission of North
Carolina’s website, Currituck County’s unemployment rate in October 2008 was 5%, which is lower than the
NC unemployment rate for November 2008 of 7.9%, and the US unemployment rate for November 2008 of
6.7%.

While growth has occurred in the region, development of affordable housing has not kept up with the need.
According to NC Association of Realtors, from 2000 to 2005 existing home prices in the Outer Banks
increased 120%. In 2006 the average Currituck resale price was $581,878 with a median price of $380,000,
compared to the average 2006 resale price in North Carolina of $214,948. Affordable housing options are
extremely limited in Currituck County and Dare County. “Because the cost of housing is so high along the
Outer Banks, average citizens such as teachers, policemen, and service workers must commute 60 miles
or more each way in order to find an affordable place to live.” According to the NCHFA website, only one
LIHTC development exists in Currituck County and one in Dare County. The majority of the residential
construction in the region is geared toward tourist and retiree populations. “Housing costs for rental housing
have also increased in recent years….it is important to note that rental housing in general is a small portion
of the overall stock in Dare County and that there is very little non-seasonal/year round rental housing…
there is no apartment sector, per se.” (2005 Dare County Housing Study). Residents are often forced to
choose between long commutes, paying a high portion of their income on rent or choosing to live in
dilapidated housing and trailer homes. The scarcity of developable land and affordable housing options in
Dare County has resulted in residents looking for housing in Currituck County. “The overall quality of life,
and safety on the Outer Banks, is diminished by a lack of affordable housing” (The Albermarle Economic
Development Commission, 2008).

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 land use pattern around the site is mostly single family housing.
None of the detrimental land uses noted above are located at or near the site. West of the site is uncleared
with many trees. The property to the east has been divided into lots. Approximately, 50% of the bordering
land has been developed. The Currituck County Planning Board has ruled that the proposed site is
"consistent with the objectives of the Currituck County Unified Development Ordinance and promotes
compatibility between the subject property and surrounding area.” The majority of townships in the county are
unincorporated. The result is that development in the county occurs in pockets of residential and retail/
commercial development. The Jarvis Landing site is located within a pocket of residential development. The
area around the site and much of Currituck County is rural and agricultural in nature with large swathes of
wooded areas. Multiple farms are located within a 10 mile radius of the site including a lavender farm and an
eco organic farm. The site’s location gives wonderful access to locally grown fruits, vegetables, and meats
sold at stands and markets in the area.
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. The project is accessed from Caratoke Highway, a primary four lane state
highway. From Caratoke Highway, turn onto Jarvis Landing Road, a private road maintained by the project. A
stop sign currently exists at the end of Jarvis Landing Road. Once constructed, the project will include
additional traffic safety controls including speed limit signage and speed bumps. Jarvis Landing Road is a cul-
de-sac that will only serve this project so there is no threat of the road seeing increased traffic from cut
through drivers. The road is straight with no impediments related to safety. The units will be visible from
Caratoke Highway; even though the county has requested that much of the natural environment and trees be
preserved. Project signage will be visible from Caratoke Highway. The project has approximately 24 linear
feet of frontage on Caratoke Highway. The site will not be a burden on the local facilities or school system.
The Currituck County Planning Board determined on November 3, 2008 that the approved site plan “will not
exceed the counties ability to provide adequate public facilities.” Jarvisburg Elementary, a brand new school
that opened in 2008, is 1 ½ miles from the site. Currituck County School system has an excellent student to
teacher ratio of approximately 18:1 which is below the state average (Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce
website). Mass transit options are limited in Currituck County as they are in most areas in the eastern portion
of the State. However, the Inter-County Public Transportation Authority (ICPTA) does provide transportation
to residents of Currituck County on an appointment basis. ICPTA’s services are intended to transport the
general public to nutrition sites, medical appointments and other locations, which will allow clients to access
services or attend activities related to daily living while promoting an improved quality of life.
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 is a modest slope on site that will provide adequate drainage in a controlled manner to roadside
ditches and two stormwater infiltration basins. The Currituck Planning Board noted in their review of the
project’s approved site plan that “Public health and safety issues including stormwater management,
wastewater disposal and access for emergency services have been adequately addressed and developed."
It was also noted that the site is out of the 100 year floodplain. There are no power transmission lines or
towers on the site. According to the Currituck County GIS there are no wetlands on the site.

Similarity of scale and aesthetics/architecture between project and surroundings.


The duplex units designed for site will be in harmony with adjoining and nearby properties. Many of the
surrounding developed sites have large open spaces. In keeping with this tradition, the subject property will
have approximately 50% open space (8 plus acres). The architectural design was influenced by local
design vernacular so that the units will be easily recognizable as having the “Outer Banks look”. The double
front porches and use of hardi-plank siding is typical for the area, while brick is seldom utilized. To someone
casually driving through the neighborhood, the project’s duplexes could easily pass as large single family
homes similar to those in the area. The site’s walking trail that weaves in and out of the tree line not only fits
into the aesthetics of the region but also promotes connectivity and recreation.
