-5 - in the building and watch T.V. during the day, just a place to get out of their unit. We also have greenhouses on every floor so that indoor plants can be grown in that part of the central court yard area. We've also got 2 elevators servicing the building, one would be for stretcher use and the other would be strict pedestrian use. We've got laundry facilities and that's typical on every floor as is the T.V. lounge with the janitor and trashman. Unit mix is primarily one bedroom, we've got some two bedrooms and we've got some large one bedrooms and then we also have some guest rooms for if residents have guests over they can sleep there during the night. We anticipate that being a reserved type concept, rather than a rental. One other thing that we feel is unique particularly about the unit plans is that we feel that they're fairly large sized for this type of facility and we've also provided decks off all the units which become part of the unit along with the bay type of window in the bedroom. These are the elevations showing you the type of exterior that we're talking about. We're looking at a pitched roof, a brick and wood exterior, the wood being primarily being on the recesses of the deck areas, the rest of the building would be entirely brick. These little dormers up on the top provide vaulted ceilings on the top floor units. There is an underground parking garage as part of that building and we anticipate that part of the parking spaces inside the building will be guest parking. The way that will work is we'll have a buzzer system outside the entry into the garage and if someone has a friend coming over, they'll alert the security guard so when they come up to the door, they can press the buzzer and the security guard will let them in and tell them which stall to park in. There will be some indoor guest parking. The second phase of the project has 2 building types, the first what we anticipate being an elderly 202 project, either cooperative or rental and also a market rate condominium. This is the 202 building which would be an elderly facility, which would be a government subsidized project, hopefully if it gets approved. Again, it has similar type of building characteristics, brick with wood inserts. No decks, that's not allowed on this type of project, the units are fairly small, based on government restrictions. The brown shows circulation patterns and again we have the 75% one bedroom, 25% efficiency. The market rate condominiums which not only part of phase 2, but also the remaining 2 buildings of phase 3 all have similar type of characteristics. They'll have 2 levels of underground park- ing underneath the building itself and in addition to that all the parking requirements for the building will be in a ramp type of situation, there won't be any parking spaces outside. Now the ramp will be an open air ramp, but they'll still be under cover. Part of the problem with this site with the density is providing enough parking spaces and not covering the whole site with asphalt, that was an important part of the project. This is the overall floor plan for the building. You can see the circulation pattern is a basic . T. The building does vary in height. On the first building has 5 to 8 floors, the second building 4-7 and on the other 5-8 stories. Looking at the building from that angle, these are the greenhouses on top of the lower story buildings which lead out onto the roof top areas
