June 7, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes

the new building. Mr. Michels said that the building is quite a distance away, but based on a slope study recently done they felt there was no problem. Mr. Kevin Malanga at Ridge Road asked what type of material will be used to pave the parking lot. Mr. Michels defers the question to the civil engineer. Jack Dean at Bromley Drive asked if the architect could explain the difference on the placement of the mechanical units in the affordable units versus the market rate units it appeared to that the market rate units had the mechanicals at the exterior to the building off of their balconies and it appeared that the affordable units had the mechanicals inside the units. Mr. Michels said dependent on the unit design and where the unit falls within the building. They're both going to operate the same way, they're going be the same efficiency. The ones that don't have them on the balconies he will need to go and find a little piece of flat roof somewhere to put the condenser and those are a little bit harder to work with, but where the units were located, we thought this is what they felt was appropriate, it shouldn't have a negative effect with respect to noise and vibration inside the affordable units.
