<br /> <br />Other design and sustainability features: <br /> <br />·Recycling of building materials from demolition of the buildings currently on the site, as well as <br />job 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 <br />necessity to use automobiles. <br /> <br />·Landscaping utilizes native species and drought resistant plants; topsoil will be preserved and <br />reused on site. <br /> <br />·Energy efficient windows are provided in each primary living space to maximize natural light <br />and 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 <br />products 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 <br />facing Hilyard Street which will showcase stone pillars and expanded front porch areas. <br /> <br />Number of units by which minimum density is exceeded or which incorporate three or more <br />bedrooms to encourage families: The proposed development will exceed minimum density <br />standards by four units. None of the units in the proposed development incorporate three or <br />more bedrooms. <br /> <br />Number of available ADA accessible units. Twenty five percent of the units will be adaptable. <br /> <br />Responsiveness to neighborhood character and safety in respect to height, mass, architectural <br />detail, landscaping and open space: The proposed development is a two-story building, to be <br />built on a concrete slab foundation with minimum ceiling heights. It will be built in the <br />Craftsman style, reminiscent of the historic homes built in Eugene in the early 1900s. Roof pitch <br />is set to balance the façade and enhance the period style architectural details. Height and mass <br />has been minimized to the fullest extent possible.
