Nicole Emmons in an Architect from Hart Howerton. Ms. Emmons presented a video of a virtual walkthrough into the site and how Phase I and Phase II are connected along with a narrative �summarizing the application and updated information provided to date. The video was played a second time to allow for detailed questions. Ed McCarthy asked if the buildings in Block-I were going to be loft apartments. Chairperson Hsu asked what classifies loft district materials. Nicole Emmons explained the combination of materials that are used to represent loft style architecture. Nicole Emmons explained in more detail the view coming into the site from Beekman Avenue. Ms. Emmons stated that a small public plaza, including a fa9ade and tower element, will be created within the private parcel with public accessibility as a gateway into the new development with an opportunity for public art display. Tom Andruss asked if signage for the development is planned for the center section of the rotary. Discussion ensued. Matthew Brennan asked for a breakdown of how many units will be built in each Phase and the breakdown of the number of townhomes, condominiums and rentals units. Jonathan Stein stated that not all Phases have been developed yet. Mr. Stein stated that the approved Phase I will consist of 180 rental apartments in Block-I, 46 condominium flats in Block-E, and 72 townhomes in Block-J. In Phase II there will be 246 rental apartments in Block-F and 97 condominium flats in Block-H. There is a maximum development unit count of 1,177 of which a maximum of 40% of the units are to be rental and 60% will be for ownership sale. Mathew Brennan asked if there is a possibility for requests for rental unit percentages to change. David Smith explained that the Special Permit would have to be amended by the Village Board. Anthony Catalano asked what was planned for the transition from the buildings to the riverfront parks. Jonathan Stein stated that a comprehensive plan is being designed and developed for the waterfront. Tom Andruss requested a rendering to show how the corner of Block-H would look like at night. David Smith stated that night experience is important in relation to the lighting and landscaping. Chairperson Hsu stated that the seasonality is something that the landscape design team should take into consideration. �Chairperson Hsu asked if the planning team would consider the allocation of the 500 additional parking spaces to a different use. Jonathan Stein stated that he would welcome a discussion on parking spaces without the need to open or amend the Special Permit. Mr. Stein stated that Shuttle requirements are spelled out in the Special Permit based on the issuance of certificate of occupancies. David Smith summarized the parking studies and approvals previously approved for required and on street public village parking spaces. Mr. Smith stated that the additional 500 on-street parking spaces will be metered and be Village revenue. Tom Andruss asked where inspiration for future art ideas for the public spaces or the roundabout will come from and suggested that there are many local organizations that could be contacted. Jonathan Stein stated that these decisions will be made in the future with the design and landscape teams. Nicole Emmons stated that the round-about area may have certain constraints that need to be followed but agrees that local organizations should be contacted with considerations for local and regional art. Matthew Brennan asked how much of the total site will be retail. Jonathan Stein stated there is 135,000 square feet of available retail on the site and that preliminary retail marketing plans are being developed. Mrs. Stein stated that it is too soon to tell what retail businesses will be attracted to the site before the buildings are up. Matthew Brennan asked if the retail efforts will serve just the site or will it include linking to the Village and in particular the Beekman Avenue corridor. Jonathan Stein stated that linkage studies were conducted over the last seven years in regards to the existing upper Beekman Avenue retails area and the new development. There will be a large disconnect between the existing retail establishments and the new developments. The new retail will not be competitive with the existing retail as the buying power of the new residents will be spending their monies in the upper village and this will cause "a shot in the arm" to the established retail on Beekman Avenue. David Smith stated the existing Beekman Avenue has a different character which creates a significant separation from the commercial corridor. Kersten Harries asked the applicant to walk through the building materials proposed for Block-H and Block-F. Nicole Emmons detailed the material specifications submitted. �Kersten Harries asked if the LEED ND score card and checklist had been completed. Ms. Harries stated that only the registration was submitted to the Planning Board. Nicole Emmons stated that she will check if there is a missing attachment. Kersten Harries asked who is responsible for following through with the LEED ND certifications throughout the development. Jonathan Stein stated that the Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, as the Master Developer, is responsible for making sure the LEED ND requirements of the Special Permit are followed. David Smith stated that the LEED ND registration was submitted but the checklist was not included. Nicole Emmons stated that there are two different checklists, one for LEED ND and one for the LEED analysis for the buildings. Ms. Emmons stated that she find out if the checklists were completed. Kersten Harries asked how many of the units would be handicapped accessible or adaptable. Nicole Emmons stated they would be required to meet the New York State Building Code adopted by New York State in 2015. James Neville is a Landscape Architect from Hart Howerton. Mr. Neville presented the Landscape Plan, previously approved in the Phase I Site Plan, for the proposed public street trees and plantings based on the Hudson River pallet. Discussion ensued regarding the species of trees proposed for the landscape plan. Nicole Emmons presented a diagram to show where each type of tree may be located in Block-H based on grade elevations and entrances to the units. David Smith asked if there were opportunities for individual entrances for the rental units in the Block-F buildings. Nicole Emmons stated that due to unit configurations, there are no opportunities for private entrances for the Block-F building. Ms. Emmons stated there will be opportunities for private balconies on the frontage. There will be two common entrances, one common lobby entrance and egress stair access from the garage. The finished floor height of the apartment units will be slightly higher than the street for privacy purposes. Kersten Harries asked for more detail on why there will only be two entrances. Jonathan Stein explained the security purposes for having limited entrances to an apartment complex. �Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for the November 15, 2018 meeting.
