    ARCHITECTS CERTIFICATION,continued

    This certification includes two (2) separate calculations of square footage:1. Average Unit Square Feet: Measurements Include A Prorata Share of Heated Residential Common Area2. Net Rentable Square Feet: Measurements Do Not Include A Prorata Share of Any Common Area

    and Reflect All Floor Plans of Each Unit Type (1-BR, 2-BR, etc.)

    1. Average Unit Square Feet: (These measurements impact the scoring of tax credit applications)

    For purposes of determining the usable residential heated square feet, the building(s) were measured from theoutside face of exterior walls and the centerline of any party walls. All unheated spaces and stairwells

    which are no more than heated breezeways and nonresidential, income producing commercial spaces weresubtracted from this measurement. Community rooms, laundry rooms, property management offices andapartments, heated maintenance facilities, and other common space designed to serve residential tenants werenot deducted. Based on this procedure, I certif~ the followingcalculations in determining the usable heatedsquare feet for the above referenced development:

    109,266.32 (A) Total floor area in (sq. ft.) for the entire development7,740.00 - (B) Unheated floor area (breezeways, balconies, storage)

    0.00 - (C) Nonresidential, commercial (income producing) area101,526.32 (D ) Total usable residential heated area (sq. ft.) for the development

    INSTRUCTIONS FO R AVERAGE UNIT SQUARE FEET CALCULATIONS:Provide the average unit size for each bedroom type, (1 bedroom elderly, 2 bedroom garden, 3bedroom townhouse, etc.) by adding the total square feet of all the same bedroom types (2 bedroomgarden with 1 bath and 2 bedroom garden with 2 baths) and adding the prorated share of heatedcommon residential space and divide by the total number of the same bedroom types (2 bedroomgarden).

    2. Net Rentable SquareFor purposes of calculating Net Rentable Square Feet, the units were measured from the face of each interior wall. Thevalues below therefore indicate the actual square footage of each unit floor plan. (For example, there may be 2 distinct1-bedroom floor plans, 3 distinct 2-bedroom floor plans, etc. The purpose of this section of the Architect Certificationis todocument and certify the floor space attributable to residential rental units in the development.)
