Program helps towim residents purchase.1 affordable housiim By LARRY STONE Staff Writer The Tandler Homeownership Pro gram is in the midst of making the dream of home ownership a reality for residents of Chapel Hill. Glenn Davis, assistant director of housing and community develop ment for Chapel Hill, said the program, which provides affordable housing for low and moderate incomes, is a joint effort between the town and the private sector. . The program is about one-third complete. Of the 35 homes to be built, 11 are finished. Although no timetable has been set for completion of the project, con struction has begun on the final 24 homes, and Capricorn Isler Asso ciates is speeding up construction, Davis said. Davis said he is pleased with the results of the new experience, but it was only made possible by many people working together. Those who have a new home are elated, he said. "I go to the closings and I hear, 'I have finally got a home I can afford,' and that is really gratifying," Davis said. "I can say that before this program, for low and moderate incomes, housing in Chapel Hill was a dream. "After a lot of hard work, we can see the positive experience we all have gained. I really am looking forward to doing another one." The project is being built on town owned property off Legion Road and around the Merritt .Mill Road area, 'Davis said. "We go in and put in the water and sewer lines, streets and house connections," he said. A private developer, Capricorn Isler, agrees to build and landscape the units. The homeowner gets a significant break in the cost of the project, Davis said. As long as the buyer does not refinance the home or move, he pays only on the first mortgage of the property, which is the cost of building the home. The second mortgage, including the hookups by the town, is not held against the homeowner, unless he moves or refinances. "What the family is getting is a $70,000 to $80,000 home for about $50,000 or $60,000," Davis said. Because the program is a project to help people with low and middle incomes, the town has set some criteria for citizens to become eligible, Davis said. To be considered, the homebuyer must live or work in Chapel Hill, must fall below the 80 percent mean income level and meet the requirements of the First Union Mortgage Corpora tion, who is financing the venture. "It is kind of a catch-22," Davis said. "To be assured of a home, you really need to be below that 80 percent point, but First Union needs to be sure you make enough to support a mortgage." The Chapel Hill Town Council has also set up some ways to help the families pay for their dream home once they qualify. One of these financing subsidies is a principal buydown. Under this program, the town helps the homeowner pay the first mortgage, Davis said. "We give them $5,000 on the first mortgage and add that money to the second mortgage, which they do not have to pay unless they move or refinance," Davis said. Interest rate buydown, the second subsidy, gives the town the ability to pay money to the lender to reduce the interest rate it receives. This money does not increase the second mortgage, but it can reduce the interest rate to a point where people can pay it, Davis said. Speaker lauds benefactors of UNC By DANA PRIMM Staff Writer On UNC's 195th birthday, students should praise the men and women who helped to establish the Univer sity's greatness, Douglass Hunt, special assistant to the chancellor, told about 35 people in New West Hall Wednesday night during the 1988 Kemp Plummer Battle lecture. The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies (Di-Phi) sponsored the lecture, titled "A Small Price to. Pay the Pleasures of Serendipity," in an effort to promote the history and traditions of UNC and to celebrate University Day. Hunt told the audience of both students and alumni several stories about people who were influential in UNC's history. One of the stories concerned Mary Elizabeth Mason, who gave the University 800 acres of AMERICAN WCAKCER V SOCIETY? land about two miles from Chapel Hill. The land; which she inherited from her grandfather and her hus band, is now Finley Golf Course. Mason also gave $1,000 to UNC in memory of her deceased daughters, Martha and Varina. In return for the land and the money, Mason dictated that the portraits of her daughters and her husband must be hung in a public hall of the University. There is some question now about the legitimacy of the portraits and where they should be hung, but the University should be sure to keep its part of the bargain because of the importance of the contribution, he said. Mrs. Spencer, Martha and Vari na's teacher, wrote a memoir of the Masons "which is a University treasure a treasure most of all for what it tells us of . . . their bountiful generosity in giving to the University what may well turn out to be, until now, the most valuable gift it has ever received," Hunt said. Spencer wrote in her 1895 article: "Interest in public benefactors increases as time- withdraws the generation that knew them person ally. Fifty or a hundred years hence innninpc n 1 1 V m r-nnvrninn these two sisters. I have written the following memoir of the friends of the University of North Carolina A.D. 1995 which year will witness our second centennial, and may be expected to revive and dwell upon all our traditions." Hunt also told stories about former UNC presidents Kemp Plummer Battle and Edward Kidder Graham. Di-Phi is the oldest student organ ization at the University and one of the only such collegiate organizations left in the United . States, Kevin Cherry, clerk of the society, said. The other similar organizations in the country are the Jeffersonians at the University of Virginia and Whig and Clio at Princeton University. - Di-Phi tries to protect the tradi tions and history that make UNC a unique collegiate experience as well as to preserve literary traditions, Cherry said. Many of UNC's famous alumni were members of the organizations, including Thomas Wolfe, former Gov. John Morehead and former U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin.
