Applicant to provide testimony on location of trash staging area. v. Unit Layout a. The revised proposal includes the following changes: i. Some of the triangular-shaped one-bedroom units have been modified in the revised proposal to two-bedroom units. However, several of the triangular-shaped one-bedroom units are still present from the previous proposal, and the amenity decks have been removed. See planning comment below. ii. Windows have been illustrated in this revision. Given this information, we still question the adequacy of windows provided for the triangular unit apartments. iii. The two-bedroom units, both market rate and affordable, range from 1,000-1,200 square feet, down from a lower size limit of 1,050 square feet. iv. The three-bedroom units are 1,350 square feet, up from a range of 1,250 to 1,300 square feet. b. The following proposal details have remained the same: i. All the units include a kitchen, living room, and dining room. ii. One-bedroom units include one full bathroom, and the two- and three-bedroom units include two full bathrooms. iii. There are a total of 15 units with balconies on the Sheridan Avenue and Northfield Avenue side, including five (5) two-bedroom units and ten (10) one-bedroom units. c. Unit Layout Planning Comments: i. The removal of the amenity decks has provided more privacy for the triangular- shaped one-bedroom units that have not been considerably modified from the original proposal. However, we question why more of these units were not reconfigured and why the amenity decks, which would provide value to the residents, were removed instead. Part of the suggestion that was provided during the SPRAB meeting was to revise the floor layout and window placement of the triangular units that directly abutted the amenity decks due to concerns over adequate light, air, and privacy. Applicant to provide testimony as to why the amenity decks were removed rather than reconfiguring more of the abutting triangular units. ii. Applicant shall confirm the room labels for the affordable units and market rate units, as some of the labels are conflicting. vi.
