<br />Other design and sustainability features: <br />• Recycling of building materials from demolition of the buildings currently on the site, as well as job <br /> site waste from the new project. <br /> <br />• Infill density is above the minimum while still maintaining neighborhood character. <br /> <br />• Project located close to downtown, university, bike paths, and mass transit, minimizing the necessity <br /> to use automobiles. <br /> <br />• Landscaping utilizes native species and drought resistant plants; topsoil will be preserved and reused <br /> on-site. <br /> <br />• Energy efficient windows are provided in each primary living space to maximize natural light and <br /> ventilation. <br /> <br />• Individually controlled zone heat sources for each room will allow for room-by-room control. <br /> <br />• Construction materials include engineered lumber (where practical); oriented strand board sub- <br /> flooring and sheathing; thermal mass flooring. <br /> <br />• Use of exterior air infiltration barrier. <br /> <br />• Use of energy efficient appliances and water heater. <br /> <br />• Use of stormwater filtration and pretreatment prior to entering public stormwater system. <br /> <br />• Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures. <br /> <br />• Use of bathroom fans with timers. <br /> <br />• Use of outdoor lights that are “night sky” friendly. <br /> <br />• Low VOC paints and carpets will be specified. <br /> <br />• On-site recycling provided. <br /> <br />• Covered parking area is open on one side for natural ventilation; entry ways to structure are on <br /> opposite side of the building to reduce infiltration. <br /> <br />Responsiveness to adjacent historic structures: There are no adjacent historic structures. <br /> <br />Use of higher quality materials that contribute to longevity: Materials to be used in the proposed <br />development which will contribute to longevity include: light colored “cool” asphalt roofing products <br />with a 40-year life; composite or fiber cement style (hardi-plank type) siding. <br /> <br />Prominent entry facing the public street: The proposed development includes a prominent entry facing <br />Hilyard Street which will showcase stone pillars and expanded front porch areas. <br />L:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080414\S0804147.doc <br /> <br />
