C. OWNER AFFIDAVIT
The Hotel Beaumont is an historically significant site which has been
recorded as an historic structure in the real property records of Jefferson
County. It is a contributing building in Beaumont's downtown historic
district and has been listed as eligible for the National register of Historic
Places. It will be substantially rehabilitated according the Secretary of the
Interior's Guidelines for Historic Rehabilitation. Hotel Beaumont is in
need of tax relief to encourage its preservation. It meets all requirements
of Section 25-58, Historic structure preservation tax exemption for
residential and commercial buildings. It complies with applicable zoning
laws.
Historic Significance
The Hotel Beaumont's significance to Beaumont's historic legacy is
immense. In 1922, the Hotel Beaumont was built to serve a thriving
economy longing for luxury accommodations and a cultural and social
center. The 11-storey brick hotel was a shining jewel in a bustling
downtown. As this pride of the city aged and changed hands over time, it
has faded and now needs extensive renovation and major new building
systems, including fire sprinklers, if it is to be saved. "Battered but still
beautiful" was how this landmark building was recently described in The
Beaumont Enterprise; "it became a punching bad for wind and rain,
molding its facade and chipping its masonry." As a former hotel, the
building has many beautiful public spaces, including two ballrooms - the
Rose Room and the Sky Room, "Peacock Alley" - the promenade
passageway from the lobby to the Rose Room, a magnificent and partially
intact lobby and mezzanine area with a lobby registration desk still in
use as the Hotel Beaumont's resident service center, and retail
storefronts along Fannin and Orleans Streets which will be restored to
their original features. Fortunately, many of the building's original
exterior and interior design elements are largely intact. After renovation,
the building will be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Need for Tax Relief
The redevelopment of Hotel Beaumont is an extremely complex and
challenging redevelopment effort. To insure its preservation, it is in need
of property tax relief . It is the only full -service, affordable residential
facility for the frail elderly of its kind in Beaumont. Currently there are
78 occupied units, and that number will increase to 135 units after
renovation. Residents receive three full meals per day, plus an array of
other services. Residents are predominantly low and moderate income,
and maintaining its affordability to its low and moderate income
residents is a fundamental requirement of the project. In general, of the
current residents, approximately 80% have incomes of $800 to $1,200
per month and most are elderly (age 60+). A few younger residents with
} disabilities live in the facility, but the vast majority of residents are
considered "frail elderly" needing assistance with one or more personal
care responsibilities. Without the proposed renovation, the building will
be closed and these residents will lose their homes. Relocating these
seniors, many of whom require special care and services and who have
very limited incomes, will pose a real hardship.
The project has a 501(c)(3) nonprofit project sponsor, the National
Development Council, which has worked with the City of Beaumont and
many community organizations for three and a half years to put together
a viable development plan and affordable financing package for the Hotel
Beaumont. It has been a true partnership between the private and
public sectors. The age and size of property have made the renovation
very costly, and many layers of public and private sector loans and
grants have been assembled to fund the renovation. The operating
issues are also complex. After it is completed, it will have to be managed
on a very rigorous budget to meet debt obligations, maintain affordability
to its low income residents, and provide the quality of services that are
needed. Without the proposed tax relief, the preservation, renovation and
long term operation of the facility are not financially feasible.
Its preservation will involve a complete renovation. Daniels Construction
' of Beaumont is the general contractor. Asbestos abatement will be
performed, the building's antiquated heating and cooling systems will be
replaced, a complete fire suppression sprinkler system will be installed,
new electrical and plumbing will be installed, extensive structural,
plaster and masonry repair will be carried out, a new freight elevator,
refurbished passenger elevators and a new roof will be installed, the
original storefront design and exterior canopies will be recreated, country
kitchen areas will be added to the assisted living floors, and the
residential apartment area will be upgraded and repaired as well as the
public lobby, mezzanine, and dining room/kitchen areas. Renovation will
further include a new outdoor "green space" park for the residents where
the old three storey annex stands today. The annex is severely
deteriorated and structurally unsound and cannot be renovated, but its
exterior wall along Orleans Street will be preserved and an enclosed park
will be created where the building interior once stood. All renovation will
be completed according to the U.S. Department of the Interior's
Guidelines for Historic Rehabilitation. It is scheduled to be completed in
March, 2000. Hotel Beaumont will have long term nonprofit ownership.
This public -private financing partnership includes the City of Beaumont,
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Chase
Bank Beaumont, the Fannie Mae American Communities Foundation,
the Sprinkler Union Pension Fund through State Street Global Advisors,
j the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Inner Cities Venture Fund,
and the National Development Council, the nonprofit owner.
The financing package, which is a combination of conventional and below
market rate loans, is important to preserving project cash flow, but so is
the property tax exemption. As we have said, renovation costs for a
project like this are high. At the same time, maintaining affordable rents
for the facility while providing the services that are necessary for its
residents is very difficult. Typically, similar units in other assisted living
properties rent for twice the Hotel Beaumont rents, putting them beyond
the means of most low income elderly. While nursing care has been
available for many years, only recently have congregate care and
assisted -living facilities been developed on a large scale, but these
projects cater almost exclusively to moderate and upper income
residents. This is also true of Beaumont, and it is one of the reasons
most lenders could not underwrite the project. Nothing like it exists.
There are virtually no independent living/congregate care units in the
market with rents (including services) below $1,000 per month. Those
unable to live alone, who need greater levels of assistance than can be
provided by in -home care programs or family members, can move to
assisted -living facilities to maintain a sense of independence. Currently,
there is minimal competition in the market area for assisted -living units
with base rents (including personal care services) below $1,500 per
month. Nursing Home care, the only alternative for many unable to live
alone, is available in the area at fees beginning at $2,550 monthly for a
private room.

I. PROPOSED RE -USE OF HOTEL BEAUMONT
Hotel Beaumont is currently in operation as a full -service, affordable
residential facility for the frail elderly. Currently there arc approximately
85 occupiable units, 78 of which are leased. Total units will increase to
135 after renovation. Hotel Beaumont will continue to be operated as a
residential facility for the frail elderly (see Section C) . Affordability will be
maintained. Residents are predominantly low and moderate income, and
maintaining its affordability to its low and moderate income residents is
a fundamental requirement of the project.
The project is designed for seniors that require assisted -living and/or
congregate care services. For independent seniors who only require
congregate care, services include: three daily meals and snacks, full
laundry and housekeeping services, suite maintenance, extra storage for
general use, and the opportunity to participate in all planned activities
and social functions. A social director is also on -site to coordinate social
and physical activities. For seniors which require assisted -living services
in addition to basic congregate care services, staff assist residents with
mobility, activities of daily living (grooming, personal hygiene, dressing),
bowel/bladder control, medication administration, and special
supportive services. All residents will receive 24-hour security and
monitoring, paid utilities (gas, electric, water, and local telephone
)` service) .

Thank you for your recent visits to Beaumont. As members of Main Street's
Milton eel Business Retention and Recruitment Committee, we are concerned about the
Bern Bundy future of one of our most visible corners. The future viability of The Hotel
I ; Beaumont is of utmost importance to this group.
BIN Cable
This committee is consistently working to retain and recruit businesses to
Maurine Gray Beaumont's historic Central Business District. In fact, today this group is
meeting with a local developer concerning anew gas station/mini-mart in the
SWp Hulett area. The interest in downtown residential development as well as the
.1otxwrr
improvement of traffic flow into the area has convinced this group to build an
appropriate foundation for such growth
eW Klmkxough
We are committed to assisting you and will make every effort to assure a
Nancy weird healthy future for The Hotel Beaumont.

RE: Preservation Trust Fund Grant Application - Hotel Beaumont
Dear Mr. Graves'
This letter is to verify that the entire amount of matching money required for the Hotel Beaumont
Preservation Grant is available from the City of Beaumont.
l Y would like to take this opportunity to express the City of Beaumont's strong support of this
important project. The Hotel Beaumont is a critical historic structure in the heart of our
downtown historic district. But there is a► very real possibility that without this re&velopmem
effort, the building wip be lost. That would be an enormous blow not only to the historic district
but to the entire community. The Hotel Beaumont is a magnificent part of the community's'
history, and we believe that the public/private partnership that has come together to redevelop the
project is the key to saving the building. The project's non-profit sponsor, NDC Housing and
Economic Development Corporation, has the experience and the commitment that will be needed
to put together a strong development team and to carry out the development plan. As you may be
aware, they were the non-profit developers of the Windsor Hotel, a beautiful example of historic
renovation in Abilene.
The entire community is excited about the restoration of the Hotel Beaumont. Thank you for
your consideration of this application.
Sincerely,
Ray Riley

Dear Ms. Loveland:
I am pleased that the National Development Council is working with the
Beaumont community to preserve and operate the historic Hotel Beaumont. This
structure is certainly worthy of preservation, and the intended use of the hotel as
housing for senior citizens is commendable.
Once renovated, the Hotel Beaumont has the potential to be the cornerstone of
additional housing, retail, and tourist activity in the Beaumont downtown area.
Since the Texas Energy Museum is a partner in attracting residents and visitors to
the downtown area, we heartily endorse this important project and encourage you
in its completion.
Thank you and please call on me if I can provide any assistance.
Sincerely
D. Ryan Smith

It was great having you here in Beaumont, Sally...
and we appreciate your tatting time out .'to visit. Beaumones downtown area continues to thrive
and attract new business ventures. So things are looking well in that regard.
However, the Hotel Beaumont is one of the big question marks on our skyline. I guess it is
struggling as a retirement hotel and our hope is that you and your group can help us find a way to
keep that structure alive and well.
Thanks again for your attention to our needs. Please let us know when you will be heading this
way again so that we might be able to see you again.

Dear Sally: -
I have always been interested in the preservation and development of
downtown Beaumont. Although my business is not located in the Central
Business district, my time and expertise have been utilized toward the
improvement of the area.
I served as President of Beaumont Main Street in 1993 and spent a great
deal of time working with The Urban Group on various possibilities for
rehabilitation of The Hotel Beaumont. The facility became a second home to
me and certainly to Carolyn and the Main Street staff.
I learned about the National Development Council when you visited
Beaumont last June and am convinced that the expertise you offer is the most
appropriate vehicle for the development of The Hotel Beaumont. My
concern lies with not only the residents of the facility but with the progress
underway downtown. Our momentum is strong and the presence of the
National Development Council can only serve to strengthen this progress.
I hope to see you again in Beaumont!
Sincerely,
Nancy Beaulieu

RE: Hotel Beaumont project
Dear Sally,
I have wanted to touch base with you to express regret for being unable to see you when you
have been in Beaumont in recent months. Carolyn Howard may have told you about my mother's
severe bout of congestive heart failure which resulted in her collapse Thanksgiving. Until
February 12, I was the 1996 version of Florence Nightingale at our home. The problem had been
accelerating for almost two years. My mother has an aversion to physicians and hospitals. Since
she is still making her own decisions, it took a collapse for me (the only relative younger than age
89) to take some action.
Nevertheless, you are aware of how intensely interested I am in the Hotel Beaumont project. The
building and its position in our National Register District are critically important to Beaumont's
revitalization efforts. In fact, the building anchors the south end of this district.
I had great hopes that something positive would result after the conference call between you,
Carolyn, Jim Stokes (Chamber) and me more than a year ago. I have tried to keep my
expectations on a realistic level. Carolyn keeps me informed of the status of developments
between Ray Riley's office and NDC. The National Development Council is the appropriate
organization to develop this remarkable structure, retaining its use as housing for low and
moderate income senior citizens.
PHONE 409/832-4466 0 FAX 409/832-4469
As past president of Beaumont Main Street, I urge you, your board and staff to choose
Beaumont as a community to utilize your experience, expertise and talents. As a preservationist,
please know I will do everything possible to facilitate the rehabilitation of this historic landmark.
If I can be of assistance, Sally, please do not hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to seeing
you on one of your trips down this way.
All good wishes,
C�
Bessie . Chisum
