7 ○ A3 contains eight pages of architectural plans and renderings. ○ Page EX103 is the northern/rear elevation, added after the original submission. ○ Although this side of the building faces a steep and a wall of trees, Mr. Jarmel states that the same high-quality materials are used on all four sides. ○ The elevation shows the parking ramp that allows vehicles to travel from the upper parking level down to the lower parking level. - Mr. Jarmel returns to the original exhibits and explains that EX100 corresponds to SD101, the original site/building drawing, with the correction of the previously discussed parking count of 165 spaces. - EX101 provides detailed plans of the residential amenity areas: ○ The second-floor building lounge includes seating, a small kitchenette, and a pool table for residents. ○ An accessible bathroom is located off the corridor. ○ A sports simulator room is located next to the lounge and will include a golf simulator. ○ The third-floor gymnasium includes its own bathroom and equipment storage. ○ The gym will contain cardio equipment and universal/strength-training equipment. - EX102 provides details of the proposed faux green wall. ○ The feature was requested by the municipal planner. ○ Mr. Jarmel shows an example and explains that it is designed to look lush and realistic. ○ The developer has used the product on other buildings, and Mr. Jarmel describes it as a signature design element associated with the client. - EX103 is identified again as the rear elevation. - EX104 is a rendering of the Sheridan Avenue façade. ○ The rendering illustrates the significant change in grade along the site. ○ The building uses brick at lower portions and cementitious panels to provide a modern appearance. - EX105 is a rendering looking toward the building from the southern side of Northfield. ○ The rendering demonstrates the steepness of Northfield using the project's grading information. ○ On the far eastern side, the building appears only three stories tall. ○ The floor-to-floor heights there are approximately 10 feet, making the building roughly 30 feet from the parking level to the roof. ○ Farther down Northfield, a secondary entrance becomes visible. ○ As the grade drops, more of the first-floor commercial and amenity spaces become visible and the building appears four stories tall. - EX106 is another Northfield rendering, viewed from the

visible. ○ As the grade drops, more of the first-floor commercial and amenity spaces become visible and the building appears four stories tall. - EX106 is another Northfield rendering, viewed from the southern side and farther east. ○ It again shows the building as three stories from this perspective. ○ Vehicles enter the upper parking area and can proceed toward a roll-up gate. ○ The grade begins to become steep farther along the site. - EX107 is a site section prepared to illustrate the relationship between the building and the steep surrounding grade. ○ The upper portion shows the ground-floor plan. ○ Northfield is shown below, with Sheridan to the left. ○ A section line cuts through the site, allowing the viewer to look east. ○ Mr. Jarmel prepared the section specifically to provide context for the building's height relative to the steep slope, existing vegetation, and nearby homes.
