40 (Pages 154 to 157) Page 154 1 additional street frontage, so I can build the 2 building bigger by having excess street frontage, 3 but let's say a building like an urban building that 4 was on here, usually only has one side rather than 5 three sides. We have three sides exposed. 6 MR. KLEIN: But there's no road on the 7 -- on the ends, is there? 8 MR. APPEL: Well, there's parking 9 access so that you can -- you can -- you can 10 traverse around the building. 11 MR. KLEIN: So a fire truck can get -- 12 MR. APPEL: No, no, no, not a fire 13 truck. 14 MR. KLEIN: That's what I was asking. 15 MR. APPEL: But you would never bring 16 a fire truck next to a -- next to a building -- 17 MR. KLEIN: Right, it would be too 18 close -- 19 MR. APPEL: Yeah. 20 MR. KLEIN: -- to the fall zone, 21 right. So how would they rescue somebody? They'd 22 have to carry the ladder around to the back of the 23 building -- 24 MR. APPEL: It would be -- 25 MR. KLEIN: -- if they had to. Page 155 1 MR. APPEL: It would be carrying a 2 ladder -- 3 MR. KLEIN: Okay. 4 MR. APPEL: But you gotta remember 5 that this is a building with -- 6 MR. KLEIN: A sprinkler, right. 7 MR. APPEL: -- an area of refuge, a 8 sprinklered building -- 9 MR. KLEIN: Okay. 10 MR. APPEL: -- with elevators, so -- 11 MR. KLEIN: Okay. 12 MR. APPEL: Multiple stairs. 13 MR. KLEIN: All right. Even though 14 it's in black and white, can you pull up the image 15 that shows what these green walls will look like? 16 MR. APPEL: Let me see if -- 17 MR. KLEIN: I'm just curious. Because 18 you don't want to block the louver with green 19 because then you'll block the 50 percent open space 20 for the -- 21 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Ventilation. 22 MR. KLEIN: -- ventilation. 23 MR. APPEL: Right. So we have them 24 shown on the back portion of this building, I 25 believe -- Page 156 1 MR. KLEIN: So those -- 2 MR. APPEL: You see these areas over 3 here (indicating). 4 MR. KLEIN: So that tall one -- so the 5 floor -- 6 MR. APPEL: One, two -- 7 MR. KLEIN: Where's the floor of the 8 garage? 9 MR. APPEL: You have one, two, three. 10 So the floor of the garage here is you have a 11 portion that has two levels of garage in here and 12 that's why you have more -- more exposure. 13 MR. KLEIN: Oh, okay. 14 MR. APPEL: So if you go to the -- if 15 you go all the way to the end, you see you have a 16 garage level and then a lower garage level. 17 MR.

u have more -- more exposure. 13 MR. KLEIN: Oh, okay. 14 MR. APPEL: So if you go to the -- if 15 you go all the way to the end, you see you have a 16 garage level and then a lower garage level. 17 MR. KLEIN: Oh, okay. So there is a 18 ramp inside. 19 MR. APPEL: No, no, it just has 20 different access -- 21 MR. KLEIN: From the front and the 22 back, okay. 23 MR. APPEL: They're not connected 24 inside except vertically with stairs and elevator. 25 MR. KLEIN: So the green to your, Page 157 1 let's say, next to the -- 2 MR. APPEL: These are elements over 3 here. 4 MR. KLEIN: They don't block any 5 elevation. 6 MR. APPEL: We use taller -- no, you 7 can have the ventilation typically behind them but 8 where this is below ground level, these are the 9 areas that we're going to need to mechanically 10 ventilate. 11 MR. KLEIN: Oh, okay, okay. 12 MR. APPEL: Because we just couldn't 13 get enough of those. On the upper level, we can be 14 conforming; on the lower level, we can't. 15 MR. KLEIN: And I don't know, I 16 probably should have asked this of Mr. Anderson, are 17 there sidewalks along any of the roads A, B, C, D? 18 MR. APPEL: I think there were 19 sidewalks and I think Mr. Anderson had described 20 that there was one place that he hopped to the other 21 side to align with -- 22 MR. KLEIN: Okay. 23 MR. APPEL: -- other sidewalks -- 24 MR. KLEIN: Okay. 25 MR. APPEL: -- but there's sidewalks
