<br />The architectural team representative Chris Palpovich, reviewed the project. Building A usage is 32
<br />for assisted living and memory care so there would be limited need for parking and Building C 33
<br />will be a senior cooperative for higher functioning senior citizens. Mr. Palpovich showed the 34
<br />drawing of the site plan. He reviewed the neighboring buildings and their height. He stated 35
<br />Kenzington is 70 feet high and the project’s highest building will be 66 feet high. They are using 36
<br />good urban design principles for the project. He indicated the building locations and the road 37
<br />locations. The park will be an active park. Since the submission a month ago, work has 38
<br />continued with staff. Some changes have been made adding conductivity to the site. Build ing E 39
<br />would act as a gateway building. The uses of the buildings were reviewed. Building E is the 40
<br />affordable building and the townhomes wrap around the site. A number of trails have been added 41
<br />connecting the buildings to the broader neighborhood. The greenspace is for the entire 42
<br />community. A model is available for review. Mr. Palpovich reviewed the stages of the project. 43
<br />All the buildings would be completed by 2022. As many trees as possible will be preserved. The 44
<br />team focused on the enclosed underground parking. Only 12% of the parking is surface parking 45
<br />which opens the land up to more green space. 46
