Information about what Mark-Dana has done:

Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
Explanation of Pre-Application Submission Logs [for 2100]
  • See page 16 (File #11040) for Mark Koogler's pre-app for Auburn Lake Manor
  • See page 15 (File #11037) and page 18 (Files # 11038 and 11039) for other pre-apps this company has made.
Our opinion: Let him concentrate his efforts where there is mass transit, as well as nearby commercial, medical, and other necessities for senior citizens. Let him concentrate his efforts where streets and roads are already built to handle the added traffic. Let him concentrate his efforts where his projects won't negatively affect the residential values in the immediate area.

Explanation of Application Submission Logs [for 2009]
  • "This log contains all applications submitted in counties located in the Hurricane Ike affected counties (in accordance with IRS Notice 2008-109). The current total estimated available for Ike credit is $29,812,320. Applications will be identified by highest score regardless of region or subregion. All Ike credit will be utilized first before any allocation of regional credit ceiling. Any remaining applications will be placed back in the respective sub-region to compete in the standard competitive process."
  • See page 1 (File #09102) for Mark-Dana's proposal for low-income senior housing in Magnolia, using Hurricane Ike credits. This is designated as a rural area. (The logic for this escapes me!)
  • See page 2 (File #09103) for their proposal for the same in Katy. Also, be sure to read this: http://brookhollowcourt.com/?q=node/34
Minutes of the TDHCA Board meeting in July, 2009. (Use Ctrl F and type in koo to find the places where Mark Koogler is speaking.) In one place, if I'm reading this right, he's trying to explain why he applied for more money that the cap allowed. Hmmm!
