<br />•Construction waste will be minimized by the designer’s familiarity with standard <br />sizes and construction systems and approach to value engineering including routine <br />recycling many materials generated in the construction process. <br />•Recycling area for tenants will be conveniently located in a well lit, weather <br />protected area. <br />•Many of the construction materials will be engineered products produced from <br />sustainable forestry practices including the use of smaller diameter non-old growth trees <br />and include products manufactured in the local area resulting in less transportation of <br />materials from distant sources. <br />•Indoor air quality enhancement by use of cabinets, doors and interior trim pre- <br />finished offsite, as well as more operable window areas than required by code. All <br />exhaust fans will be provided with timers which will foster use of fans even when the <br />units are unoccupied, thus reducing moisture problems. <br />•Most units will have washers and dryers, reducing the need to transport laundry. <br />•The project site is underutilized (currently having two dwellings each with six <br />single occupant units which are approaching the end of their useable lifetime) and will be <br />replaced using building methods and materials that are more environmentally sustainable. <br />•Landscaping will be incorporated on all sides using plant materials chosen for <br />low water use and low maintenance as well as aesthetic considerations. Many native <br />species of plants will be used. <br /> <br /> 2.2.2 Responsiveness to adjacent historic structures. There are no adjacent historical structures. The <br />building currently on the site is over 50 years old, but according to City of Eugene Senior <br />Planner Ken Guzowski, is not a historic structure. <br /> <br /> 2.2.3 Use of higher quality materials that contribute to longevity. High quality 30-year plus rated roof <br />shingles will be used. Exterior siding will be Hardi brand cementinous siding which performs <br />well, is fire resistant and has a long service life. Vinyl windows will be used and are efficient <br />and require minimum maintenance. Vehicle parking will be concrete instead of asphalt, <br />reducing reliance on petroleum products. The building is anticipated to have at least a 100 year <br />service life. <br /> <br /> 2.2.4 Prominent entry facing the public street. The building will not incorporate a single prominent <br />entry. Instead, all units will have private entrances at grade level. Of the 14 front doors, four <br />face Patterson Street directly. Special attention has been paid to architectural presentation to <br />Patterson street. <br /> <br /> 2.2.5 Number of units by which minimum density is exceeded or which incorporate three or more <br />bedrooms to encourage families. Patterson Place will have 14 units on a site of 12,000 square <br />feet (.27 acres). This exceeds minimum density for the zone by approximately eight units. <br />Twelve of the units have three or more bedrooms making them more suitable for family use than <br />the current single occupancy units. <br /> <br /> 2.2.6 Number of available ADA accessible units. There are no ADA accessible units. <br /> <br /> 2.2.7 Responsiveness to neighborhood character and safety in respect to height, mass, architectural <br />detail, landscaping and open space. Composition has been arranged to achieve the density goals <br /> F:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M071008\S0710084.doc <br />
