<br />- High efficiency, low emissive coated windows in vinyl frames <br />will be used to provide minimum heat transfer and require no recurrent <br />painting. <br />-Traditional attic roof construction allows gravity ventilation of <br />heat build-up and hip roof eaves shade south and west windows from <br />midday sun, greatly reducing the need for additional cooling. Glazing is <br />designed to provide excellent day lighting; south and west windows will <br />provide solar insulation in winter months (summer high angle of incidence <br />results in reduced heat gain due to reflective nature of coating). <br />-Construction waste will be minimized by the designer's <br />familiarity with standard sizes and construction systems and approach to <br />value engineering including routine recycling many materials generated in <br />the construction process. <br />- Recycling area for tenants will be conveniently located in a well <br />lit, weather protected area. <br />- Many of the construction materials will be engineered products <br />produced from sustainable forestry practices including the use of smaller <br />diameter non-old growth trees and include products manufactured in the <br />local area resulting in less transportation of materials from distant sources. <br />- Indoor air quality enhancement by use of cabinets, doors and <br />interior trim pre-finished offsite, as well as more operable window areas <br />than required by code. All exhaust fans will be provided with timers <br />which will foster use of fans even when the units are unoccupied, thus <br />reducing moisture problems. <br />- Most units will have washers and dryers, reducing the need to <br />transport laundry. <br />-The project site is underutilized (currently having two dwellings <br />each with six single occupant units which are approaching the end of their <br />useable lifetime) and will be replaced using building methods and <br />materials that are more environmentally sustainable. <br />- Landscaping will be incorporated on all sides using plant <br />materials chosen for low water use and low maintenance as well as <br />aesthetic considerations. Many native species of plants will be used. <br /> <br />2.2.2 Responsiveness to adiacent historic structures. There are no <br />adjacent historical structures. The building currently on the site is over 50 years <br />old, but according to City of Eugene Senior Planner Ken Guzowski, is not a <br />historic structure. <br /> <br />2.2.3 Use of higher quality materials that contribute to longevity. High <br />quality 30-year plus rated roof shingles will be used. Exterior siding will be <br />Hardi brand cementinous siding which performs well, is fire resistant and has a <br />long service life. Vinyl windows will be used and are efficient and require <br />minimum maintenance. Vehicle parking will be concrete instead of asphalt, <br />reducing reliance on petroleum products. The building is anticipated to have at <br />least a 100 year service life. <br /> <br />Exhibit B to Resolution No. 4918 -- Report and Recommendation - Page 2 <br />
