00:16:27,705 --> 00:16:30,705 Edgewater resident and owner at 237 00:16:32,109 --> 00:16:33,844 the 1800 Club. 238 00:16:33,844 --> 00:16:35,546 I am expressing serious 239 00:16:35,546 --> 00:16:36,180 concerns regarding the 240 00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:38,180 development at 1847 Northeast 241 00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:39,282 4th Avenue. 242 00:16:39,282 --> 00:16:41,282 While growth and 243 00:16:41,652 --> 00:16:43,652 revitalization are important, 244 00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:45,389 this project raises red flags 245 00:16:45,389 --> 00:16:47,789 that cannot be ignored, 246 00:16:47,791 --> 00:16:49,460 especially when it comes to 247 00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:51,495 safety, livability and long-term 248 00:16:51,495 --> 00:16:53,495 sustainability. 249 00:16:54,931 --> 00:16:56,633 First, the decision to have 250 00:16:56,633 --> 00:16:57,301 this zoned as a commercial 251 00:16:57,301 --> 00:16:59,701 rather than residential is 252 00:17:01,371 --> 00:17:03,730 deeply followed. 253 00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:05,473 It removes basic protection, 254 00:17:05,809 --> 00:17:08,809 including the ability to install 255 00:17:09,213 --> 00:17:09,880 speed bumps in a neighborhood 256 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,915 where children play and seniors 257 00:17:11,915 --> 00:17:13,617 walk. 258 00:17:13,617 --> 00:17:16,617 The absence of traffic calming 259 00:17:16,686 --> 00:17:18,686 measures is dangerous. 260 00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:22,900 Commercial zoning invites 261 00:17:23,827 --> 00:17:26,530 faster traffic but denies us the 262 00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:29,266 tools to keep our streets safe. 263 00:17:29,266 --> 00:17:30,968 Second, flooding is another 264 00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:33,368 chronic issue I've addressed 265 00:17:33,670 --> 00:17:36,700 with Commissioner Pardo's office 266 00:17:36,730 --> 00:17:37,441 when we have a street sign that 267 00:17:37,441 --> 00:17:39,441 says, "Flooding possible. 268 00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:42,179 " That's not a fix. 269 00:17:42,179 --> 00:17:45,179 It's a short-term sign that's 270 00:17:47,284 --> 00:17:50,284 creating chaos in our community. 271 00:17:51,722 --> 00:17:53,424 [Unclear] Less absorption. 272 00:17:53,424 --> 00:17:55,824 Without a robust stormwater 273 00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:57,270 management plan, every heavy 274 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:59,229 rain is a hazard in this 275 00:17:59,229 --> 00:18:01,229 community. 276 00:18:01,265 --> 00:18:01,966 Residents already face 277 00:18:01,966 --> 00:18:04,100 property damage and rising 278 00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:06,100 insurance cost. 279 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:07,738 The development could push 280 00:18:07,738 --> 00:18:10,474 those burdens past the breaking 281 00:18:10,474 --> 00:18:12,509 point for our community. 282 00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:14,544 How is this development also 283 00:18:14,544 --> 00:18:16,947 avoiding taxes, as it is a 284 00:18:16,947 --> 00:18:17,614 commercial property with 608 285 00:18:17,614 --> 00:18:20,351 units that will be a full Airbnb 286 00:18:20,351 --> 00:18:22,351 property? 287 00:18:23,754 --> 00:18:25,455 I'm very confused how they're 288 00:18:25,455 --> 00:18:28,455 not contributing to the current 289 00:18:28,859 --> 00:18:31,859 school system in this community. 290 00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:33,964 Calling it a hotel when all 291 00:18:33,964 --> 00:18:34,431 the

00:19:46,690 --> 00:19:49,473 will push a failing system over 316 00:19:49,473 --> 00:19:51,473 the edge. 317 00:19:51,842 --> 00:19:55,442 There is no parking to absorb 318 00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:58,613 the surge. 319 00:19:59,316 --> 00:20:01,716 Aria Reserve is bringing 700 320 00:20:03,420 --> 00:20:05,420 units per tower. 321 00:20:06,489 --> 00:20:08,191 Pedestrian risk will spike

00:46:12,887 --> 00:46:15,257 As Carlos mentioned, I just 912 00:46:15,257 --> 00:46:19,457 want to bring a couple things to 913 00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:23,361 your attention on this design 914 00:46:25,801 --> 00:46:26,835 Specifically, our site as 915 00:46:26,835 --> 00:46:29,204 Carlos mentioned is surrounded 916 00:46:29,204 --> 00:46:31,204 by landscpgg. 917 00:46:31,573 --> 00:46:33,573 G. 918 00:46:34,643 --> 00:46:37,120 What we did here, both inside 919 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,120 and outside the developer felt 920 00:46:40,415 --> 00:46:42,784 that the green space is critical 921 00:46:42,784 --> 00:46:43,451 We created a linear park and 922 00:46:43,451 --> 00:46:47,510 that linear park is this design 923 00:46:49,258 --> 00:46:50,959 right here. 924 00:46:50,959 --> 00:46:55,159 Which is open and it's for the 925 00:46:57,799 --> 00:47:00,199 children to be used. 926 00:47:00,502 --> 00:47:02,902 Furthermore, we have an 927 00:47:03,572 --> 00:47:04,906 opportunity to create a widened 928 00:47:04,906 --> 00:47:08,506 pedestrian path all the way on 929 00:47:09,344 --> 00:47:11,746 4th Avenue and all throw 930 00:47:11,746 --> 00:47:13,782 y as it wraps around 4th Avenue, 931 00:47:13,782 --> 00:47:16,782 leading you towards the park. 932 00:47:16,852 --> 00:47:18,219 The reason for that is our 933 00:47:18,219 --> 00:47:20,955 public spaces, the lobby, the 934 00:47:20,955 --> 00:47:23,355 amenities are like this. 935 00:47:24,692 --> 00:47:27,692 They are spaces with glass, 936 00:47:29,130 --> 00:47:30,365 two-story glass, that open up. 937 00:47:30,365 --> 00:47:32,868 Sorry, [Unclear] That open up 938 00:47:32,868 --> 00:47:34,868 to the outdoor. 939 00:47:36,572 --> 00:47:38,640 The intent is to bring the 940 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:39,641 landscaping, the green space 941 00:47:39,641 --> 00:47:42,430 into the lobby and the amenity 942 00:47:42,430 --> 00:47:44,443 area of the project. 943 00:47:47,515 --> 00:47:48,183 The project is designed, as 944 00:47:48,183 --> 00:47:50,551 Carlos mentioned, in context of 945 00:47:50,551 --> 00:47:51,553 the neighborhood. 946 00:47:51,553 --> 00:47:52,253 I made a sample material board 947 00:47:52,253 --> 00:47:54,253 as well. 948 00:47:55,991 --> 00:47:57,991 It's right here. 949 00:48:00,762 --> 00:48:02,797 I'll bring it over here. 950 00:48:02,797 --> 00:48:05,797 All the materials, the stone 951 00:48:08,603 --> 00:48:12,203 and finishes, the fac'ade of the 952 00:48:12,341 --> 00:48:13,375 undulation on the screen, it is 953 00:48:13,375 --> 00:48:15,775 a three-dimensional screen that 954 00:48:16,811 --> 00:48:18,811 is vertical. 955 00:48:19,148 --> 00:48:23,348 That screen if you look at the 956 00:48:23,918 --> 00:48:24,619 drawing is on page 8608. 957 00:48:24,619 --> 00:48:26,619 It's a three-dimensional 958 00:48:28,356 --> 00:48:30,725 screen and it has another layer 959 00:48:30,725 --> 00:48:31,760 of screen behind it so you do 960 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,128 not see the vehicles, nor. 961 00:48:34,128 --> 00:48:35,163 The lights. 962 00:48:35,163 --> 00:48:36,165 To be specific, and you can 963 00:48:36,165 --> 00:48:38,165 see it here. 964 00:48:39,601 --> 00:48:40,202 [Unclear. 965 00:48:40,202 --> 00:48:41,303 ] And you can also see the 966 00:48:41,303 --> 00:48:42,304 section. 967 00:48:42,304 --> 00:48:44,706 Thank you so much, Carlos. 968 00:48:44,706 --> 00:48:46,706 Yes, please. 969 00:48:50,812 --> 00:48:52,180 What happens here is that not 970 00:48:52,180 --> 00:48:54,180 only the footprint-not 971 00:48:54,215 --> 00:48:56,618 maximizing the footprint on the 972 00:48:56,618 --> 00:48:58,320 site. 973 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,560 We're less, as Carlos said, 974 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:02,424 instead of 10, 20%. 975 00:49:02,424 --> 00:49:04,793 We also created the green 976 00:49:04,793 --> 00:49:07,793 space of the linear park. 977 00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:10,862 To give you a perspective, 978 00:49:11,967 --> 00:49:14,967 this is the existing condition. 979 00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:16,704 The existing condition on 4th 980 00:49:16,704 --> 00:49:19,308 and 18th right here is where the 981 00:49:19,308 --> 00:49:21,308 park is. 982 00:49:21,843 --> 00:49:23,178 We created the park right 983 00:49:23,178 --> 00:49:25,914 here, and we created the 984 00:49:25,914 --> 00:49:28,283 pedestrian path all the way 985 00:49:28,283 --> 00:49:31,883 around the block and wider than 986 00:49:32,387 --> 00:49:34,890 is existing in the neighboring 987 00:49:34,890 --> 00:49:35,790 property because we feel it's 988 00:49:35,790 --> 00:49:38,493 nice for people to walk around 989 00:49:38,493 --> 00:49:40,561 and enjoy that space. 990 00:49:40,561 --> 00:49:44,761 Right here, if you look at the 991 00:49:45,667 --> 00:49:47,735 detail-by the way, I'm here 992 00:49:47,735 --> 00:49:49,771 with my landscape architect, 993 00:49:49,771 --> 00:49:50,405 also the traffic consultant. 994 00:49:50,405 --> 00:49:51,807 We have everybody here for 995 00:49:51,807 --> 00:49:53,807 that. 996 00:49:53,842 --> 00:49:56,244 Our intention is on the 997 00:49:56,244 --> 00:49:58,279 materials on the outside, it's 998 00:49:58,279 --> 00:49:58,613 stone and it's a decorative 999 00:49:58,613 --> 00:49:59,314 metal. 1000 00:49:59,314 --> 00:50:01,350 It's a very high-end finish on 1001 00:50:01,350 --> 00:50:03,350 the outside. 1002 00:50:04,419 --> 00:50:08,190 The intention is to have this 1003 00:50:08,156 --> 00:50:10,224 kind of a material and finish 1004 00:50:10,224 --> 00:50:10,859 all the way around the building. 1005 00:50:10,859 --> 00:50:14,459 That is the intent of the 1006 00:50:14,663 --> 00:50:16,663 design. 1007 00:50:18,733 --> 00:50:21,133 The developer is an 1008 00:50:22,471 --> 00:50:24,172 interesting individual who is 1009 00:50:24,172 --> 00:50:27,172 design oriented and has been 1010 00:50:27,909 --> 00:50:28,610 pushing us for this direction. 1011 00:50:28,610 --> 00:50:29,611 I'll show you just a couple 1012 00:50:29,611 --> 00:50:31,611 little thoughts. 1013 00:50:32,130 --> 00:50:34,382 You see how the park here 1014 00:50:34,382 --> 00:50:36,830 opens up like an aperture? 1015 00:50:36,830 --> 00:50:39,154 As it gets wider with the 1016 00:50:39,154 --> 00:50:42,190 site, it gets wider over here. 1017 00:50:42,190 --> 00:50:45,259 If you look closely, there are 1018 00:50:45,259 --> 00:50:48,663 activities to come in and use 1019 00:50:48,663 --> 00:50:51,733 the park but then as you walk 1020 00:50:51,733 --> 00:50:54,102 along the sidewalk and the trees 1021 00:50:54,102 --> 00:50:55,470 we are planting along the 1022 00:50:55,470 --> 00:50:57,873 street, so you walk within a 1023 00:50:57,873 --> 00:50:59,908 green space all the way around. 1024 00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:01,944 The reason for that is when 1025 00:51:01,944 --> 00:51:02,611 you come around the corner you 1026 00:51:02,611 --> 00:51:04,646 are able to walk through the 1027 00:51:04,646 --> 00:51:06,348 green space to the park. 1028 00:51:06,348 --> 00:51:06,981 That park we feel is important 1029 00:51:06,981 --> 00:51:08,750 for the people who live in the 1030 00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:10,750 community. 1031 00:51:11,453 --> 00:51:14,523 We want people like our next 1032 00:51:14,523 --> 00:51:15,156 door neighbor to be able to walk 1033 00:51:15,156 --> 00:51:17,925 around the block in a pleasant 1034 00:51:17,925 --> 00:51:18,702 fashion. 1035 00:51:18,702 --> 00:51:20,294 So, that's where that came 1036 00:51:20,294 --> 00:51:21,580 from. 1037 00:51:21,580 --> 00:51:23,458 Sorry Carlos, forgive me. 1038 00:51:26,768 --> 00:51:28,768 The close-up. 1039 00:51:30,472 --> 00:51:32,872 I'll pass this around. 1040 00:51:33,541 --> 00:51:35,911 We blew it up so you can see 1041 00:51:35,911 --> 00:51:37,946 the treatment on the ground 1042 00:51:37,946 --> 00:51:40,150 level, the street level, for 1043 00:51:40,150 --> 00:51:40,615 what it is we are looking to do 1044 00:51:40,615 --> 00:51:42,500 in the relationship to the 1045 00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,500 street. 1046 00:51:49,858 --> 00:51:52,260 We have the glass, we have the 1047 00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:54,296 three-dimensional finials of the 1048 00:51:54,296 --> 00:51:57,296 grills, the treatment of the 1049 00:51:59,434 --> 00:52:00,101 amenity area. 1050 00:52:00,101 --> 00:52:04,172 As you look up you have nice 1051 00:52:04,172 --> 00:52:06,172 finishes. 1052 00:52:09,277 --> 00:52:11,680 These columns are white so 1053 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,480 every area has a finish to it. 1054 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,451 The idea is to make a 1055 00:52:16,451 --> 00:52:17,452 crystalline volume that has nice 1056 00:52:17,452 --> 00:52:19,154 finishes all the way around the 1057 00:52:19,154 --> 00:52:21,154 property. 1058 00:52:22,224 --> 00:52:23,591 What we wanted to do is 1059 00:52:23,591 --> 00:52:25,960 besides the stone finish is to 1060 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,960 engage the street. 1061 00:52:28,329 --> 00:52:31,400 You'll see in the plans that 1062 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,400 our amenities, public areas and 1063 00:52:35,804 --> 00:52:36,471 lounges all have glass to look 1064 00:52:36,471 --> 00:52:39,207 onto the street and the pocket 1065 00:52:39,207 --> 00:52:42,807 parks that are across the street. 1066 00:52:43,978 --> 00:52:45,347 With that, I'll be quiet. 1067 00:52:45,347 --> 00:52:47,140 If you have any questions or 1068 00:52:47,140 --> 00:52:47,615 suggestions. 1069 00:52:47,615 --> 00:52:48,716 Thank you so much for your 1070 00:52:48,716 --> 00:52:49,117 time. 1071 00:52:49,117 -->

--> 00:53:02,295 >> Thank you. 1076 00:53:02,330 --> 00:53:02,930 Can you spend a few more 1077 00:53:02,930 --> 00:53:05,399 minutes telling us about the 1078 00:53:05,399 --> 00:53:06,768 building? 1079 00:53:06,768 --> 00:53:08,469 How is the parking, how are 1080 00:53:08,469 --> 00:53:10,138 the floors? 1081 00:53:10,138 --> 00:53:10,671 What is the distance of your 1082 00:53:10,671 --> 00:53:11,506 building from the other 1083 00:53:11,506 --> 00:53:13,506 building? 1084 00:53:14,576 --> 00:53:15,276 Things like that. 1085 00:53:15,276 --> 00:53:15,610 You only spoke about the 1086 00:53:15,610 --> 00:53:17,610 bottom floor. 1087 00:53:17,979 --> 00:53:19,979 >> Thank you. 1088 00:53:21,383 --> 00:53:24,383 So, what happens here in 1089 00:53:25,119 --> 00:53:28,119 context, this is on page 8604, 1090 00:53:28,890 --> 00:53:32,627 you can see that this site is 1091 00:53:32,627 --> 00:53:34,328 juxtaposed on an angel from the 1092 00:53:34,328 --> 00:53:36,328 neighboring properties. 1093 00:53:36,364 --> 00:53:39,100 It created an opportunity for 1094 00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:40,134 us to take our building and have 1095 00:53:40,134 --> 00:53:42,534 it completely disengaged from 1096 00:53:42,537 --> 00:53:44,537 our neighbors. 1097 00:53:44,572 --> 00:53:47,976 What I mean is we are on an 1098 00:53:47,976 --> 00:53:50,376 angle completely different of 1099 00:53:50,379 --> 00:53:50,946 the neighboring, meaning the 1100 00:53:50,946 --> 00:53:52,747 other buildings are all on 1101 00:53:52,747 --> 00:53:54,747 Bayshore. 1102 00:53:56,851 --> 00:53:58,851 Multiple buildings. 1103 00:54:00,255 --> 00:54:02,624 We have put our building right 1104 00:54:02,624 --> 00:54:03,291 here in this location, right 1105 00:54:03,291 --> 00:54:05,360 across from the pocket park on 1106 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,360 4th. 1107 00:54:07,728 --> 00:54:10,128 The interesting thing, that 1108 00:54:11,833 --> 00:54:15,237 allowed us then to open it up 1109 00:54:15,237 --> 00:54:16,237 where everybody else is facing 1110 00:54:16,237 --> 00:54:18,273 this way, we are facing the 1111 00:54:18,273 --> 00:54:21,273 other way on the back. 1112 00:54:21,342 --> 00:54:23,378 So we are on the back and 1113 00:54:23,378 --> 00:54:25,746 their amenity areas are facing 1114 00:54:25,746 --> 00:54:27,115 the water in this direction. 1115 00:54:27,115 --> 00:54:29,851 When you look closely here- 1116 00:54:29,851 --> 00:54:32,851 you're the best, thank you. 1117 00:54:33,255 --> 00:54:35,255 Thank you. 1118 00:54:35,957 --> 00:54:36,525 So, when you look closely at 1119 00:54:36,525 --> 00:54:39,525 the site plan, the building 1120 00:54:39,694 --> 00:54:41,694 curves. 1121 00:54:42,431 --> 00:54:43,798 It has two cores and the 1122 00:54:43,798 --> 00:54:46,501 curvature is all the way around. 1123 00:54:46,501 --> 00:54:48,202 This is 4th. 1124 00:54:48,202 --> 00:54:51,202 So, what happens is people 1125 00:54:52,307 --> 00:54:54,342 walk along here, we have our 1126 00:54:54,342 --> 00:54:56,711 entries on the streets, but then 1127 00:54:56,711 --> 00:54:58,790 we have two cores and we have 1128 00:54:58,790 --> 00:55:00,481 glass all the way around the 1129 00:55:00,481 --> 00:55:03,185 balconies, all the way around. 1130 00:55:03,185 --> 00:55:04,552 These cores, as you can see, 1131 00:55:04,552 --> 00:55:06,588 they allow for a nice, short 1132 00:55:06,588 --> 00:55:08,988 distance to every unit. 1133 00:55:11,359 --> 00:55:12,727 It's a very nice project with 1134 00:55:12,727 --> 00:55:15,764 a very nice quantity of short 1135 00:55:15,764 --> 00:55:17,764 spaces to walk. 1136 00:55:17,832 --> 00:55:19,868 It's like a two-core tower. 1137 00:55:19,868 --> 00:55:22,868 What happens is the other 1138 00:55:23,605 --> 00:55:26,605 buildings, there is an alley, 1139 00:55:26,675 --> 00:55:28,430 this is our property line, then 1140 00:55:28,430 --> 00:55:30,411 there is an alley between us, 1141 00:55:30,411 --> 00:55:31,779 which is the loading area. 1142 00:55:31,779 --> 00:55:32,380 The loading areas for all 1143 00:55:32,380 --> 00:55:35,380 these buildings is from this 1144 00:55:36,184 --> 00:55:38,184 alley. 1145 00:55:38,219 --> 00:55:41,289 So, the alley is a bifurcation 1146 00:55:41,289 --> 00:55:41,923 of the spaces. 1147 00:55:41,923 --> 00:55:42,657 This is the back door of the 1148 00:55:42,657 --> 00:55:44,657 building. 1149 00:55:46,394 --> 00:55:48,394 Thank you, sir. 1150 00:55:48,797 --> 00:55:50,832 I'm going to change your name 1151 00:55:50,832 --> 00:55:52,832 to Vanna

individual? 1232 00:58:48,743 --> 00:58:49,110 >> Richard Garcia with traffic 1233 00:58:49,110 --> 00:58:51,110 engineering. 1234 00:58:51,479 --> 00:58:53,479 >> Good afternoon. 1235 00:58:55,884 --> 00:58:57,884 Richard Garcia. 1236 00:58:58,253 --> 00:58:59,987 8065 Northwest 98th Street. 1237 00:58:59,987 --> 00:59:02,987 We did a traffic statement 1238 00:59:03,570 --> 00:59:04,759 pursuant to the city code. 1239 00:59:04,759 --> 00:59:05,760 I'd like to go into the 1240 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,162 details, but it's a preliminary 1241 00:59:08,162 --> 00:59:10,162 type study. 1242 00:59:10,531 --> 00:59:14,131 Your code calls for your own 1243 00:59:15,637 --> 00:59:18,637 city consultant to perform their 1244 00:59:19,741 --> 00:59:21,442 independent traffic study, so we 1245 00:59:21,442 --> 00:59:23,842 do a preliminary traffic 1246 00:59:24,145 --> 00:59:26,547 analysis to determine the number 1247 00:59:26,547 --> 00:59:27,148 of trips so your consultant can 1248 00:59:27,148 --> 00:59:28,917 determine the extent of the 1249 00:59:28,917 --> 00:59:29,517 study. 1250 00:59:29,517 --> 00:59:31,917 They reviewed our traffic 1251 00:59:31,986 --> 00:59:33,986 statement. 1252 00:59:35,220 --> 00:59:38,220 Several times, in fact, and 1253 00:59:39,427 --> 00:59:39,960 they had comments which we 1254 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,360 addressed and they found 1255 00:59:42,830 --> 00:59:44,830 acceptable. 1256 00:59:44,865 --> 00:59:47,265 Part of our preliminary 1257 00:59:47,268 --> 00:59:49,637 analysis is mostly internal as 1258 00:59:49,637 --> 00:59:52,373 opposed to the traffic impact 1259 00:59:52,373 --> 00:59:55,760 study they're going to do, which 1260 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:55,677 they'll look at the streets. 1261 00:59:55,677 --> 00:59:57,812 We looked at the valet 1262 00:59:57,812 --> 00:59:59,812 analysis. 1263 01:00:00,514 --> 01:00:04,114 They had us do that several 1264 01:00:05,285 --> 01:00:08,220 times until they were satisfied. 1265 01:00:08,220 --> 01:00:10,391 The site will use 100% valet, 1266 01:00:10,391 --> 01:00:12,794 so we had to do several 1267 01:00:12,794 --> 01:00:15,794 iterations of valet analysis to 1268 01:00:16,164 --> 01:00:19,234 make sure it would be acceptable. 1269 01:00:19,234 --> 01:00:24,340 And we held it to a very high 1270 01:00:24,338 --> 01:00:26,738 standard for traffic

load it? 1864 01:22:54,687 --> 01:22:55,355 Do they have to then back out 1865 01:22:55,355 --> 01:22:55,622 into the alley way to flip the 1866 01:22:55,622 --> 01:22:57,622 garbage? 1867

01:23:23,583 one of the other drawings I saw 1877 01:23:23,583 --> 01:23:25,285 showed the direction of the 1878 01:23:25,285 --> 01:23:25,985 alley way and the other 1879 01:23:25,985 --> 01:23:27,687 direction which would not have 1880 01:23:27,687 --> 01:23:29,687 worked. 1881 01:23:31,900 --> 01:23:32,458 That clarification that you're 1882 01:23:32,458 --> 01:23:33,459 going in

01:23:49,774 During construction, because 1890 01:23:50,509 --> 01:23:52,211 it's a zero lot line, you would 1891 01:23:52,211 --> 01:23:53,212 have to dig deeper into the 1892 01:23:53,212 --> 01:23:54,914 alley to build the wall at the 1893 01:23:54,914 --> 01:23:55,948 zero lot line. 1894 01:23:55,948 --> 01:23:58,318 Has there been any 1895 01:23:58,318 --> 01:24:01,318 conversation

now, we're not 1899 01:24:06,859 --> 01:24:07,526 touching the alley. 1900 01:24:07,526 --> 01:24:07,994 You will see that we have a 1901 01:24:07,994 --> 01:24:09,994 construction fence. 1902 01:24:13,333 --> 01:24:15,368 >> But you will have to build 1903 01:24:15,368 --> 01:24:17,736 the wall at the zero lot line 1904 01:24:17,736 --> 01:24:18,370 and to build the foundation you 1905 01:24:18,370 --> 01:24:21,206 will have to go into the alley. 1906 01:24:21,206 --> 01:24:22,508 >> We'll do that as part of 1907 01:24:22,508 --> 01:24:22,875 the. 1908 01:24:22,875 --> 01:24:24,875

--> 01:24:39,525 At what point is the actual 1913 01:24:39,525 --> 01:24:40,893 traffic study introduced for 1914 01:24:40,893 --> 01:24:42,595 review in the process of 1915 01:24:42,595 --> 01:24:43,963 approval for the project? 1916 01:24:43,963 --> 01:24:44,497 Right now all they did was 1917 01:24:44,497 --> 01:24:46,497 provide the criteria. 1918 01:24:46,699 --> 01:24:49,699 >> It's a requirement of the 1919 01:24:50,403 --> 01:24:51,370 building permit. 1920 01:24:51,370 --> 01:24:54,473 This is an afpr which is 1921 01:24:54,473 --> 01:24:56,473 testing the principal. 1922 01:24:58,577 --> 01:25:00,947 Of the by right process. 1923 01:25:00,947 --> 01:25:01,547 The traffic study is a 1924 01:25:01,547 --> 01:25:01,781 requirement of the building 1925 01:25:01,781 --> 01:25:02,648 permit. 1926 01:25:02,648 --> 01:25:03,349 I don't know if the building 1927 01:25:03,349 --> 01:25:05,749 permit has been submitted. 1928 01:25:06,753 --> 01:25:08,454 It is? 1929 01:25:08,454 --> 01:25:10,823 That's probably why they have 1930 01:25:10,823 --> 01:25:12,858 additional information for you 1931 01:25:12,858 --> 01:25:13,392 today, because the two processes 1932 01:25:13,392 --> 01:25:15,792 are running in parallel. 1933 01:25:15,961 --> 01:25:18,297 >> It's a requirement of the 1934 01:25:18,297 --> 01:25:19,332 building permit. 1935 01:25:19,332 --> 01:25:22,332 That seems kind of late. 1936 01:25:23,402 --> 01:25:26,402 What if there are challenges 1937 01:25:26,472 --> 01:25:28,173 with regards to level of service? 1938 01:25:28,173 --> 01:25:30,576 Will the developer be required 1939 01:25:30,576 --> 01:25:32,576 to make improvements? 1940 01:25:32,611 --> 01:25:34,647 If the actual traffic study 1941 01:25:34,647 --> 01:25:35,681 says there's a problem with the 1942 01:25:35,681 --> 01:25:37,160 traffic impact in the 1943 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:37,450 neighborhood and they have to 1944 01:25:37,450 --> 01:25:39,450 make improvements -- 1945 01:25:44,857 --> 01:25:47,257 >> Let me clarify something. 1946 01:25:49,928 --> 01:25:53,528 This is a fairly new process. 1947 01:25:53,699 --> 01:25:56,699 It's an afpr, which replaces 1948 01:25:57,770 --> 01:26:00,770 the previous review which gave 1949 01:26:02,876 --> 01:26:04,876 applicants [Unclear. 1950 01:26:05,578 --> 01:26:08,314 ] That doesn't change the fact 1951 01:26:08,314 --> 01:26:10,716 that it's still a by-right 1952 01:26:10,716 --> 01:26:12,840 process, it could go straight to 1953 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:12,752 building permit, they don't 1954 01:26:12,752 --> 01:26:14,120 necessarily need to go through 1955 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,120 the. 1956 01:26:16,488 --> 01:26:18,488 fpr process. 1957 01:26:18,524 --> 01:26:21,260 It MAY seem premature in that 1958 01:26:21,260 --> 01:26:22,595 regard but it's no different 1959 01:26:22,595 --> 01:26:23,950 than if a waiver or warrant were 1960 01:26:23,950 --> 01:26:25,495 to come through here. 1961 01:26:28,401 --> 01:26:30,102 >> I understand but once 1962 01:26:30,102 --> 01:26:33,102 traffic study is completed and 1963 01:26:33,506 --> 01:26:34,173 it states the level. 1964 01:26:34,173 --> 01:26:34,506 Of service, there needs to be 1965 01:26:34,506 --> 01:26:36,506 improvements. 1966 01:26:38,244 --> 01:26:40,644 >> I have the answer. 1967 01:26:41,314 --> 01:26:43,714 Previously, the applicant had 1968 01:26:44,383 --> 01:26:45,170 to submit a traffic methodology 1969 01:26:45,170 --> 01:26:47,453 and possibly a full traffic 1970 01:26:47,453 --> 01:26:49,453 study. 1971 01:26:49,856 --> 01:26:51,958 The city changed the law 1972 01:26:51,958 --> 01:26:54,293 recently that required the 1973 01:26:54,293 --> 01:26:54,827 applicants to pick their traffic 1974 01:26:54,827 --> 01:26:57,290 engineer from a pool of 1975 01:26:57,290 --> 01:26:59,290 applicants. 1976 01:26:59,398 --> 01:27:01,801 They recognize what you just 1977 01:27:01,801 --> 01:27:04,170 said, that there's a backup, 1978 01:27:04,170 --> 01:27:07,170 that traffic studies are not 1979 01:27:08,607 --> 01:27:10,643 being done in a timely basis or 1980 01:27:10,643 --> 01:27:12,643 this preliminary stage. 1981 01:27:14,460 --> 01:27:15,414 They're working on amending 1982 01:27:15,414 --> 01:27:17,817 what they worked on amending. 1983 01:27:17,817 --> 01:27:20,520 Right now, the process is to 1984 01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,520 submit the methodology and they 1985 01:27:23,923 --> 01:27:24,623 pick from the pool then the 1986 01:27:24,623 --> 01:27:26,325 consultant completes the traffic 1987 01:27:26,325 --> 01:27:26,925 study. 1988 01:27:26,925 --> 01:27:29,728 We have no control over it. 1989 01:27:29,728 --> 01:27:31,728 >> I understand. 1990 01:27:32,131 --> 01:27:34,133 My question is, if this 1991 01:27:34,133 --> 01:27:37,733 traffic study says at the time 1992 01:27:37,903 --> 01:27:40,640 of permit that there needs to be 1993 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:42,800 improvements made to the 1994 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,377 streets, to the right-of-ways, 1995 01:27:44,377 --> 01:27:45,377 intersections, etc. 1996 01:27:45,377 --> 01:27:45,745 , who pays for that at that 1997 01:27:45,745 --> 01:27:46,913 point in time? 1998 01:27:46,913 --> 01:27:48,913 >> The developer. 1999 01:27:49,281 --> 01:27:51,281 >> The developer?

uniquely shaped 2422 01:45:56,100 --> 01:45:58,360 site, with 5 streets coming 2423 01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:00,405 together at this intersection. 2424 01:46:00,405 --> 01:46:01,773 It's a unique shape for the 2425 01:46:01,773 --> 01:46:05,176 site, which our architect had to 2426 01:46:05,176 --> 01:46:07,176 work through. 2427 01:46:10,281 --> 01:46:13,351 This is an aspr, so we advance 2428 01:46:13,351 --> 01:46:14,719 with no waivers, warrants, 2429 01:46:14,719 --> 01:46:17,119 exceptions or deviations from 2430 01:46:17,422 --> 01:46:19,422 the city code. 2431 01:46:19,824 --> 01:46:22,824 This is a living local 2432 01:46:22,894 --> 01:46:24,894 project, and introduces 2433 01:46:25,263 --> 01:46:25,930 affordable housing to the 2434 01:46:25,930 --> 01:46:28,930 district, much needed to this 2435 01:46:30,368 --> 01:46:32,368 area. 2436 01:46:32,437 --> 01:46:34,437 We are proposing 42% 2437 01:46:36,174 --> 01:46:38,209 affordable housing units, which 2438 01:46:38,209 --> 01:46:39,911 is 210 of our 499 units. 2439 01:46:39,911 --> 01:46:42,314 We are providing one parking 2440 01:46:42,314 --> 01:46:44,314 space per unit. 2441 01:46:45,384 --> 01:46:47,510 One item we're excited about, 2442 01:46:47,510 --> 01:46:47,418 and that I worked with Sam and 2443 01:46:47,418 --> 01:46:49,418 Graham o.. 2444 01:46:50,121 --> 01:46:51,122 ... 2445 01:46:51,122 --> 01:46:53,522 The podium legislation adopted 2446 01:46:54,192 --> 01:46:55,226 by the city. 2447 01:46:55,226 --> 01:46:58,826 We are fully lined, no garage 2448 01:46:59,664 --> 01:47:01,366 screening. 2449 01:47:01,366 --> 01:47:02,700 We thought this was a great 2450 01:47:02,700 --> 01:47:03,735 opportunity to blend 2451 01:47:03,735 --> 01:47:05,770 affordability with a unique 2452 01:47:05,770 --> 01:47:07,770 design. 2453 01:47:08,473 --> 01:47:11,543 That said, I'll turn it over 2454 01:47:11,543 --> 01:47:12,176 to Albert to walk you through. 2455 01:47:12,176 --> 01:47:14,576 We're available for questions. 2456 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:20,416 >> Good afternoon, MADAM Chair 2457 01:47:21,418 --> 01:47:24,418 and members of the board... 2458 01:47:24,456 --> 01:47:26,524 First and foremost as always, 2459 01:47:26,524 --> 01:47:27,191 thank you for your time and 2460 01:47:27,191 --> 01:47:29,260 reviewing our application this 2461 01:47:29,260 --> 01:47:31,260 afternoon. 2462 01:47:32,664 --> 01:47:35,664 We're excited to be here. 2463 01:47:35,734 --> 01:47:38,134 As Bryan mentioned, we're 2464 01:47:39,470 --> 01:47:41,870 excited for that 40% affordable 2465 01:47:42,540 --> 01:47:44,540 workforce housing component. 2466 01:47:45,276 --> 01:47:47,312 When we started designing the 2467 01:47:47,312 --> 01:47:50,140 project with our client, no 2468 01:47:50,140 --> 01:47:53,140 expense was spared in providing 2469 01:47:59,891 --> 01:48:02,627 a project with a true luxury 2470 01:48:02,627 --> 01:48:04,663 aspect that both condominium 2471 01:48:04,663 --> 01:48:07,630 residents and affordable housing 2472 01:48:09,100 --> 01:48:11,100 tenants can enjoy. 2473 01:48:12,504 --> 01:48:16,104 We quickly found out this site 2474 01:48:16,908 --> 01:48:18,609 is less than an acre, but the 2475 01:48:18,609 --> 01:48:21,900 corner here is challenged, 2476 01:48:21,345 --> 01:48:23,745 because of the shape. 2477 01:48:23,748 --> 01:48:24,820 The way we generated the upper 2478 01:48:24,820 --> 01:48:26,820 floors. 2479 01:48:27,485 --> 01:48:29,485 ... 2480 01:48:30,221 --> 01:48:32,590 This is a prominent corner. 2481 01:48:32,590 --> 01:48:35,590 We anchored the main corner 2482 01:48:36,994 --> 01:48:39,363 with the retail component of the 2483 01:48:39,363 --> 01:48:41,763 project, which is about 5,300 2484 01:48:42,434 --> 01:48:43,135 square feet, and anchored it 2485 01:48:43,135 --> 01:48:45,836 with a flatiron effect on that 2486 01:48:45,836 --> 01:48:47,836 corner. 2487 01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:51,240 Then we centralized the main 2488 01:48:52,977 --> 01:48:54,110 lobby access to the building and 2489 01:48:54,110 --> 01:48:56,748 support spaces, with access to 2490 01:48:56,748 --> 01:49:00,348 the main core of the building. 2491 01:49:03,188 --> 01:49:04,889 We felt it was important for 2492 01:49:04,889 --> 01:49:07,889 this project with the magnitude 2493 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,661 of units, to have a real 2494 01:49:10,661 --> 01:49:13,610 pedestrian and vehicular passage 2495 01:49:13,398 --> 01:49:15,990 for the project, where people 2496 01:49:15,990 --> 01:49:19,170 can get dropped off at any time 2497 01:49:19,170 --> 01:49:21,570 in a covered manner. 2498 01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,275 Another retail component will 2499 01:49:24,275 --> 01:49:26,312 further activate the passage of 2500 01:49:26,312 --> 01:49:26,744 pedestrians and vehicles. 2501 01:49:26,744 --> 01:49:29,744 All in all, I jk. 2502 01:49:30,381 --> 01:49:32,381 Nk... 2503 01:49:33,118 --> 01:49:35,854 Except for the minute 16 feet 2504 01:49:35,854 --> 01:49:38,854 pump room which must be 2505 01:49:41,259 --> 01:49:43,662 accessible to the street by 2506 01:49:43,662 --> 01:49:46,620 code, we have 100% groundfloor 2507 01:49:47,650 --> 01:49:49,465 access for this project. 2508 01:49:50,134 --> 01:49:53,734 Another thing we found is the 2509 01:49:56,608 --> 01:49:59,343 existing alley on the north side. 2510 01:49:59,343 --> 01:50:01,450 We put in a loop which 2511 01:50:01,450 --> 01:50:03,445 maximizes access to an 2512 01:50:04,115 --> 01:50:05,150 internalized zone, the loading 2513 01:50:05,150 --> 01:50:07,184 zone, with access to back of 2514 01:50:07,184 --> 01:50:08,887 house equipment. 2515 01:50:08,887 --> 01:50:11,887 We think the ground floor 2516 01:50:12,290 --> 01:50:14,690 works well, especially because 2517 01:50:21,833 --> 01:50:25,236 of the separation of the service 2518 01:50:25,236 --> 01:50:28,836 and beauty and of the pedestrian 2519 01:50:29,674 --> 01:50:31,710 and vehicular drop off areas. 2520 01:50:31,710 --> 01:50:34,780 We anchor the corner with 2521 01:50:34,780 --> 01:50:37,780 extensive amounts of units here, 2522 01:50:37,148 --> 01:50:39,183 and provided parking circulation. 2523 01:50:39,183 --> 01:50:39,784 We were able to simplify it, 2524 01:50:39,784 --> 01:50:42,184 working in a counterclockwise 2525 01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:44,920 direction. 2526 01:50:47,692 --> 01:50:50,920 We purposefully put the 2527 01:50:52,464 --> 01:50:53,130 parking on the north, to allow 2528 01:50:53,130 --> 01:50:55,867 for 100% of the linear frontage 2529 01:50:55,867 --> 01:50:57,867 of the property. 2530 01:51:00,972 --> 01:51:01,639 Again, parking access to both 2531 01:51:01,639 --> 01:51:04,390 cores, providing 21 units per 2532 01:51:07,780 --> 01:51:08,746 floor. 2533 01:51:08,746 --> 01:51:09,414 With minor adjustments for 2534 01:51:09,414 --> 01:51:09,781 exterior articulations in the 2535 01:51:09,781 --> 01:51:11,781 buidlg. 2536 01:51:12,150 --> 01:51:14,150 G. 2537 01:51:15,220 --> 01:51:19,420 Then we get to what makes this 2538 01:51:21,359 --> 01:51:21,892 project unique in my building, 2539 01:51:21,892 --> 01:51:24,292 the wellness and fitness 2540 01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:27,960 programs. 2541 01:51:28,833 --> 01:51:29,400 Essentially, you have an acre, 2542 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,236 almost 80% of the acre for 2543 01:51:32,236 --> 01:51:34,236 amenities. 2544 01:51:34,972 --> 01:51:37,342 We have 18,000 feet of 2545 01:51:37,342 --> 01:51:38,709 enclosed amenities at the 2546 01:51:38,709 --> 01:51:40,779 mezzanine level and the floor 2547 01:51:40,779 --> 01:51:42,779 above us. 2548 01:51:43,814 --> 01:51:46,184 We also thought it was 2549 01:51:46,184 --> 01:51:48,584 important to provide exterior 2550 01:51:51,288 --> 01:51:54,250 deck amenities, with a pool deck 2551 01:51:54,250 --> 01:51:56,250 to maximize views. 2552 01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:57,428 In addition to a complete 2553 01:51:57,428 --> 01:52:00,428 running and walking track around 2554 01:52:01,165 --> 01:52:02,900 the entire podium... 2555 01:52:02,900 --> 01:52:04,936 We felt that taking that 2556 01:52:04,936 --> 01:52:06,971 wellness factor to the next 2557 01:52:06,971 --> 01:52:07,572 level was appropriate, to 2558 01:52:07,572 --> 01:52:09,972 generate these fitness spaces 2559 01:52:11,376 --> 01:52:12,770 for the project. 2560 01:52:12,770 --> 01:52:14,111 Above that is where we start 2561 01:52:14,111 --> 01:52:16,111 our tower. 2562 01:52:21,586 --> 01:52:24,586 There is a difference in 2563 01:52:24,655 --> 01:52:25,689 levels 14 through 30th, 2564 01:52:25,689 --> 01:52:28,890 generating about 21 to 17 units 2565 01:52:30,461 --> 01:52:32,461 per floor. 2566 01:52:32,497 --> 01:52:35,497 The upper levels have larger 2567 01:52:36,234 --> 01:52:38,970 units than the lower levels. 2568 01:52:38,970 --> 01:52:41,370 We have 15,000 square feet, 2569 01:52:42,707 --> 01:52:43,407 the maximum permitted by code, 2570 01:52:43,407 --> 01:52:46,407 and 180 feet at its maximum 2571 01:52:47,812 --> 01:52:49,812 length. 2572 01:52:52,917 --> 01:52:54,917 [Unclear. 2573 01:52:55,319 --> 01:52:58,319 ] Culminating at the top level, 2574 01:53:00,724 --> 01:53:03,724 the 31st level with another 2575 01:53:05,496 --> 01:53:07,496 amenitized space, 2500 square 2576 01:53:08,199 --> 01:53:08,733 feet of a residence lounge, as 2577 01:53:08,733 --> 01:53:10,935 you will see in our other 2578 01:53:10,935 --> 01:53:12,935 designs. 2579 01:53:15,373 --> 01:53:18,443 Once we concluded what we felt 2580 01:53:18,443 --> 01:53:20,111 was a well-thought internal 2581 01:53:20,111 --> 01:53:22,511 massage of the project, 2582 01:53:22,847 --> 01:53:24,548 providing for all the internal 2583 01:53:24,548 --> 01:53:26,917 programs, we felt compelled 2584 01:53:26,917 --> 01:53:27,585 based on the level of fitness 2585 01:53:27,585 --> 01:53:27,919 and amenity and wellness of this 2586 01:53:27,919 --> 01:53:28,285 pj. 2587 01:53:28,285 --> 01:53:30,285 .. 2588 01:53:30,654 --> 01:53:32,654 Ct... 2589 01:53:33,580 --> 01:53:36,658 And the name of the project, 2590 01:53:37,461 --> 01:53:39,163 "anatomia", anatomy. 2591 01:53:39,163 --> 01:53:41,563 We felt compelled to 2592 01:53:41,566 --> 01:53:43,566 demonstrate that. 2593 01:53:45,636 --> 01:53:48,372 We have the exoskeleton on the 2594 01:53:48,372 --> 01:53:50,740 outside, mimicking the human 2595 01:53:50,740 --> 01:53:50,742 anatomy and muscles of the body. 2596 01:53:50,742 --> 01:53:54,342 It's what we're trying to do 2597 01:53:55,179 --> 01:53:57,179 with this. 2598 01:53:58,549 --> 01:53:59,584 The spacing of the exoskeleton 2599 01:53:59,584 --> 01:54:01,984 was analyzed to minimize 2600 01:54:02,987 --> 01:54:05,387 fenestrations on the units. 2601 01:54:06,724 --> 01:54:09,724 You'll see from the floor 2602 01:54:11,495 --> 01:54:12,830 plans, it interferes with the 2603 01:54:12,830 --> 01:54:14,899 int with the fenestrations of 2604 01:54:14,899 --> 01:54:16,899 the units. 2605 01:54:18,303 --> 01:54:20,705 Another point was to unify, if 2606 01:54:20,705 --> 01:54:22,373 possible, the podium, tower and 2607 01:54:22,373 --> 01:54:25,109 rooftop with a single element 2608 01:54:25,109 --> 01:54:28,109 tying everything together as one 2609 01:54:28,846 --> 01:54:30,846 sculpture. 2610 01:54:31,916 --> 01:54:34,319 Finally, we propose a linear 2611 01:54:34,319 --> 01:54:35,987 diffused lighting system which I 2612 01:54:35,987 --> 01:54:38,987 think would be spectacular at 2613 01:54:41,793 --> 01:54:42,427 night to [Unclear] The building 2614 01:54:42,427 --> 01:54:45,427 and be a potentially iconic 2615 01:54:45,529 --> 01:54:47,929 design for the area. 2616 01:54:48,232 --> 01:54:48,866 All in all I think we're happy 2617 01:54:48,866 --> 01:54:50,968 with what we've accomplished so 2618 01:54:50,968 --> 01:54:52,968 far. 2619 01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:53,638 We welcome your comments, and 2620 01:54:53,638 --> 01:54:56,406 any questions you MAY have

2635 01:55:40,952 --> 01:55:43,352 We researched the truck 2636 01:55:45,389 --> 01:55:46,900 unloading on the top, so we can 2637 01:55:46,900 --> 01:55:49,690 have access to the trash pickup 2638 01:55:50,828 --> 01:55:52,530 interior. 2639 01:55:52,530 --> 01:55:53,164 We have ample room for 2640 01:55:53,164 --> 01:55:55,564 maneuverability inside as well. 2641 01:55:57,301 --> 01:55:59,200

--> 01:56:02,807 Is that the commercial aspect 2646 01:56:02,807 --> 01:56:04,108 of the building? 2647 01:56:04,108 --> 01:56:05,810 >> Down here? 2648 01:56:05,810 --> 01:56:06,411 Yes. 2649

01:56:28,633 .. 2660 01:56:28,633 --> 01:56:28,966 ? It could be an open area in 2661 01:56:28,966 --> 01:56:30,966 the middle. 2662 01:56:32,736 --> 01:56:33,137 >> I don't believe we have a 2663 01:56:33,137 --> 01:56:35,137 rendering of that. 2664 01:56:37,841 --> 01:56:39,841 >> Okay. 2665 01:56:41,579 --> 01:56:43,281 I'd like to commend you on how 2666 01:56:43,281 --> 01:56:45,681 you wrapped the building 2667 01:56:46,170 --> 01:56:48,386 together, and how you did 2668 01:56:48,386 --> 01:56:50,421 something different from these 2669 01:56:50,421 --> 01:56:54,210 buildings that all look the same. 2670 01:56:54,158 --> 01:56:57,758 I like how you wrapped the 2671 01:57:01,299 --> 01:57:03,668 corner and dissected all these 2672 01:57:03,668 --> 01:57:07,268 spaces to make it more livable 2673 01:57:07,771 --> 01:57:09,440 or practical, I guess. 2674 01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:09,807 Those are the only cements I 2675 01:57:09,807 --> 01:57:11,175 have. 2676 01:57:11,175 --> 01:57:13,175 >> Thank you. 2677 01:57:17,314 --> 01:57:18,682 >> Overall, I like the project. 2678 01:57:18,682 --> 01:57:22,530 I find the exoskeleton to be 2679 01:57:22,530 --> 01:57:22,586 interesting. 2680 01:57:22,586 --> 01:57:22,986 What material will the 2681 01:57:22,986 --> 01:57:24,986 exoskeleton be? 2682 01:57:25,756 --> 01:57:28,156 >> We've looked at different 2683 01:57:28,192 --> 01:57:30,192 options. 2684 01:57:30,561 --> 01:57:34,161 Based on how we anchored them 2685 01:57:35,332 --> 01:57:36,330 to the slab portions, I think we 2686 01:57:36,330 --> 01:57:38,736 should proceed as a concrete 2687 01:57:38,736 --> 01:57:40,104 element, cast in place. 2688 01:57:40,104 --> 01:57:42,139 It'll be the most defined 2689 01:57:42,139 --> 01:57:42,573 element of the building, and it 2690 01:57:42,573 --> 01:57:44,973 has to be perfect. 2691 01:57:45,510 --> 01:57:45,843 >> What color are you seeing 2692 01:57:45,843 --> 01:57:47,843 that being? 2693 01:57:49,980 --> 01:57:50,548 >> I think white will go well 2694 01:57:50,548 --> 01:57:52,350 with the lighting system at 2695 01:57:52,350 --> 01:57:53,170 night. 2696 01:57:53,170 --> 01:57:53,350 You might see it. 2697 01:57:53,350 --> 01:57:53,551 For now.. 2698 01:57:53,551 --> 01:57:55,551 .. 2699 01:57:56,753 --> 01:57:58,753 >> Yeah. 2700 01:58:00,158 --> 01:58:00,858 We know the challenges with 2701 01:58:00,858 --> 01:58:03,258 concrete and stucco, especially 2702 01:58:04,262 --> 01:58:05,596 white. 2703 01:58:05,596 --> 01:58:07,632 Over time it will mildew up 2704 01:58:07,632 --> 01:58:08,999 and get dirty. 2705 01:58:08,999 --> 01:58:09,700 It would take away from the 2706 01:58:09,700 --> 01:58:12,100 elegance of the buidlg. 2707 01:58:12,737 --> 01:58:14,737 G. 2708 01:58:16,474 --> 01:58:17,842 That would be my concern. 2709 01:58:17,842 --> 01:58:19,877 Metal is more expensive, but 2710 01:58:19,877 --> 01:58:22,613 it would be a nice detail. 2711 01:58:22,613 --> 01:58:24,982 Maybe introduce some lighting 2712 01:58:24,982 --> 01:58:27,382 as part of it. 2713 01:58:27,719 --> 01:58:31,319 I like the scale of it. 2714 01:58:32,456 --> 01:58:34,825 I like the way you've Lind the 2715 01:58:34,825 --> 01:58:36,894 parking, and the internal drive. 2716 01:58:36,894 --> 01:58:39,596 I wish we had more projects 2717 01:58:39,596 --> 01:58:42,666 that could accommodate that as a 2718 01:58:42,666 --> 01:58:43,367 way of servicing the building. 2719 01:58:43,367 --> 01:58:43,634 Overall, I'm in support of the 2720 01:58:43,634 --> 01:58:44,368 project. 2721 01:58:44,368 --> 01:58:46,368 >> Thank you. 2722 01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:58,280 >> It's an interesting site 2723 01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:00,717 plan. 2724 01:59:00,717 --> 01:59:02,419 I appreciate how you addressed 2725 01:59:02,419 --> 01:59:04,819 the size and shape. 2726 01:59:06,156 --> 01:59:08,192 I think you've done that well, 2727 01:59:08,192 --> 01:59:08,893 and how you managed the internal 2728 01:59:08,893 --> 01:59:10,561 traffic, both service and for 2729 01:59:10,561 --> 01:59:12,561 residential. 2730 01:59:13,297 --> 01:59:13,797 I think that's very good, and 2731 01:59:13,797 --> 01:59:14,331 the liner units, agn... 2732 01:59:14,331 --> 01:59:16,331 ... 2733 01:59:20,438 --> 01:59:22,139 A big plus. 2734 01:59:22,139 --> 01:59:24,175 Other than that, I know you're 2735 01:59:24,175 --> 01:59:26,575 trying to do something... 2736 01:59:27,244 --> 01:59:30,314 I appreciate the concept of the 2737 01:59:30,314 --> 01:59:31,682 exoskeleton, but I think it's 2738 01:59:31,682 --> 01:59:33,384 ay you're doing it doesn't add 2739 01:59:33,384 --> 01:59:33,751 anything to the facade. 2740 01:59:33,751 --> 01:59:35,751 I d. 2741 01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:39,120 ... 2742 01:59:41,525 --> 01:59:43,928 I can't say it's not unique, 2743 01:59:43,928 --> 01:59:45,295 but it seems very random. 2744 01:59:45,295 --> 01:59:48,332 It doesn't have anything to do 2745 01:59:48,332 --> 01:59:49,700 with the building. 2746 01:59:49,700 --> 01:59:52,700 You have one building, and 2747 01:59:53,137 --> 01:59:56,137 then you have this exoskeleton 2748 01:59:58,242 --> 01:59:58,909 randomly running around it. 2749 01:59:58,909 --> 02:00:03,140 I don't really see how it adds 2750 02:00:03,140 --> 02:00:05,414 a lot to it. 2751 02:00:06,750 --> 02:00:10,154 I know you put a lot into it, 2752 02:00:10,154 --> 02:00:12,523 but from my point of view, it 2753 02:00:12,523 --> 02:00:14,592 looks disorganized and arbitrary 2754 02:00:14,592 --> 02:00:14,991 Then you have these other 2755 02:00:14,991 --> 02:00:16,961 smaller emts... 2756 02:00:16,961 --> 02:00:18,662 S... 2757 02:00:18,662 --> 02:00:20,364 By the way, you need to show us 2758 02:00:20,364 --> 02:00:20,931 more detail. 2759 02:00:20,931 --> 02:00:23,331 We're not really seeg... 2760 02:00:23,767 --> 02:00:25,767 ... 2761 02:00:26,504 --> 02:00:27,137 Maybe it's some vignettes and 2762 02:00:27,137 --> 02:00:29,239 how those are attached or not 2763 02:00:29,239 --> 02:00:30,274 attached. 2764 02:00:30,274 --> 02:00:31,976 It seems you have some 2765 02:00:31,976 --> 02:00:34,976 horizontal elements in there, in 2766 02:00:36,414 --> 02:00:37,782 each floor. 2767 02:00:37,782 --> 02:00:39,483 I'm not sure if that's a 2768 02:00:39,483 --> 02:00:41,483 cantilever, or balconies. 2769 02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:44,588 It's hard to understand how 2770 02:00:44,588 --> 02:00:46,290 the exoskeleton interacts with 2771 02:00:46,290 --> 02:00:47,991 the building behind it. 2772 02:00:47,991 --> 02:00:48,326 I'm confusing about that. 2773 02:00:48,326 --> 02:00:50,326 Also... 2774 02:00:52,763 --> 02:00:54,763 .. 2775 02:00:56,166 --> 02:00:58,566 I love the internalized 2776 02:00:59,904 --> 02:01:00,504 traffic, but I can't tell if 2777 02:01:00,504 --> 02:01:01,972 that's an egress from the 2778 02:01:01,972 --> 02:01:03,972 elevation. 2779 02:01:04,675 --> 02:01:06,376 There's no difference in 2780 02:01:06,376 --> 02:01:09,780 height, and no way to celebrate 2781 02:01:09,780 --> 02:01:10,447 the entrance of the building. 2782 02:01:10,447 --> 02:01:11,114 I don't know where you access 2783
