MUPTE Public Benefits The Tate 2 ' ~ Indoor air quality: Our contractors will use paints, adhesives (carpet glue), and carpets which have low levels of VOCs (volitile organic compounds). This means cleaner air and less chance of allergic reactions for residents. The elevator will use vegetable-based oil as hydraulic fluid instead of potentially toxic petroleum oil. A whole-house ventilation system will be used at The Tate to bring in fresh air and remove stale air. Most windows will be operable so residents can bring in more fresh air. Sustainable site: The Tate will be built on an underutilized site (currently a parking lot) close to downtown Eugene and all the amenities available there. All of the infrastructure needed for the development of The Tate is available within the immediate area, reducing impact to the community. Bus service and bicycle paths are also close by. Landscaping: The Tate will incorporate landscaping on all sides, new street trees along Olive Street, and landscaping on the second floor common terrace, a gathering place for residents. Plant materials will be chosen for low water use and maintenance, as well as aesthetic considerations. Many native species will be used. 2. Responsiveness to adjacent historical structures: There are no adjacent historical structures. 3. Use of higher quality materials that cOntribute to longevity, durability, or enhanced building design: The Tate will be built with concrete, steel, and brick on the outside, and concrete and steel on the inside. The windows will be clad with weather-resistant material. We expect the building to be very attractive and durable. 4. Prominent entry facing the public street: The Tate will celebrate being on Olive Street. The main entrance on Olive Street leads to a spacious and beautiful lobby. The entrance will be dramatic and inviting, enhanced by attractive landscaping. The commercial spaces will have large windows and doorways facing Olive Street. All entrances will have attractive pedestrian-friendly canopies. Please see the attached artist's rendering of The Tate. 5. Number of units by which the minimum density is exceeded: The Tate will have 47 residential units and three commercial spaces. This greatly exceeds the required minimum of 25 (or 35 per acre). Of the 47 units, seven will have three bedrooms. The remaining 40 units are about equally divided between one and two bedroom units. 6. Number of available ADA accessible units: None of our buyers have expressed the desire to have their units fully accessible. But all units are ADA-adaptable, with bathrooms, kitchens, environmentals controls, and all doorways and hardware meeting ADA standards. The building contains two elevators. All units have the capability of being fully ADA compliant as required by the builing code. All common areas are fully accessible, including an ADA-accessible bathroom on the ground floor, next to our large community meeting room.
