First Street Apartments Project Relocation Plan There was no special or unique equipment identified within the businesses other than recording and audio visual type equipment. All businesses primarily maintain normal office and meeting room style furniture as well as exam tables for the health careproviders. The cell tower is unique in its relocation requirements, and recognizing the challenges faced with identifying a suitable replacement site that would allow such a usage, the developer initiated early discussions with Sprint, the owner of the cell tower, to work together to locate a potential replacement site as discussed in the Relocation Resources section. Relocation concerns of the business owners include remaining in close proximity to existing patients, not relocating to a high crime area, keeping the same rental rate, and costs and effort associated with updating a vendor database with the business's address change. C. FIELD SURVEY DATA - RESIDENTIAL 1. Current Occupants There is one residential household to be offered permanent relocation assistance. At the time of the interview and during subsequent conversations with the property manager, there was a discrepancy as to how many people actually occupy the unit as their primary "residence." Information provided at different times indicated two adults and one child (17 years or younger) or three adults and one child for a total of three or four occupants. The household occupies a commercial unit without a bathroom or kitchen. (Because the household should not be occupying a commercial space without a bathroom or kitchen, the Developer may grant early eligibility to the residential occupants.) 2. Replacement Housing Needs One of the primary purposes of a Relocation Plan is to demonstrate the availability of comparable, affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing prior to the displacement of residential occupants. Replacement housing needs, as expressed in this plan, are defined by the total number of required replacement units and distribution of those units by bedroomsize. The projected number of required units by bedroom size is calculated by comparing survey data for household size with the Developer's replacement housing occupancy standards. These standards, generally, allow for up to three persons in a one - bedroom unit, five persons in a two - bedroom unit, seven persons in a three - bedroom unit and nine or more persons in a four - bedroom unit. In addition, replacement housing needs must also be based on the legally present members of the household. At the time of actual displacement, each household member will have to provide written documentation proving their occupancy of the unit as their primary residence, and they will have to self - certify in writing as to their legal presence status. The occupants have verbally provided information regarding legal presence status, however, at this time it is unclear whether there are three or four occupants. 6 55F -13
