Hi Marla I replied on 6/7. I copied and pasted my reply below. I will review and reply to the new questions when I get
back to the office
Hi Marla
See response below it may be easier to jump on a call, I am available later this afternoon or tomorrow around 1
My second floor calculations does not count the open to below area at the 2 story tall Retail space along the south
façade so the 18,000sf is the correct number.
In regards to the six stories, I was counting the portion of the second floor below the six story portion as mezzanine
since it is less than 5,000sf and less than 1/3 of the first floor area, I didn’t see any verbiage excluding units from a
mezzanine?
I had a place holder elevator vent on the sloped roof but I confirmed that elevators in VT do not need to be vented, so
that has been eliminated.
Sheet AP-203 has the transparent glazing calcs.

Hi Peter,
I know you said you’re out this week, so I’m copying the team. We’ve determined this application will
not be required to have a neighborhood meeting. I’ve reviewed everything EXCEPT inclusionary housing
and stormwater. I’ll try to knock that out towards the end of next week.
I sent Marcus some questions on 6/7 and I am not seeing a reply in my inbox. I believe we spoke on the
phone. If you’ve already sent a reply, my apologies, can you please resend? Otherwise, the questions
are embedded herein so it’s all in one place.
1. BES: A minimum of 85% of all required upper story glazing shall be transparent. Please provide
computation.
2. 8.06F(1)(a) Building Stories: Please provide the area of the second story for recordkeeping
purposes. We recognize this criteria as met because the second story is completely covered by
a third and fourth story.
3. 8.06F(2) Combined Stories: we’re having trouble fitting the second story into the “mezzanine”
box because of the presence of units 203 and 207. If the front half of the building, including the
apartment lobbies and the two units, is considered a second story, the front half of the building
has six stories. Can you explain why you thought it met the five story maximum?
4. 8.06G(1) Conceal Rooftop Devices: there appears to be a new rooftop mechanical equipment
on the sloped portion of the roof. How does this feature meet the requirement to conceal
rooftop devices (8.06G(1), page 100)?
5. 8.06G(4) Utility features. It does not appear gas service is proposed to be screened. Please
demonstrate how it will be shielded from view of the street.
6. 8.08 Open Space: It appears your green roof best fits into the category of “sun
terrace.” Acknowledging that our LDR is overly prescriptive, there is the requirement for one
seat for every 50 ft of sun terrace, up to the maximum of 3,000 sf. We’d welcome the use of
features other than “seats” as seating. Please demonstrate how this is met.
3
7. 14.07D Landscaping: Please provide a schedule of landscaping costs and building costs for
Phase 2A and Phase 2A & 2B together. If its easier, you’re welcome to provide Phase 2A and 2B
as separate schedules.
8. 14.07D Shade Trees: There are two existing plants at the north side of the holiday inn that it
looks like you’re retaining. What size and kind of tree are they? If they’re not shade trees, are
they worth saving or would it be better to replace them with shade trees?
9. 13.07 Exterior Lighting: Fixture SACL with R4 optics is new. Please provide cut sheet. Please
provide a full lighting plan so the fixtures can be counted for recordkeeping purposes.
10. 13.04 Bicycle Parking: Please provide a plan showing how long term bicycle parking is met.
