The building, we are excited about this. And we think that it is always challenging to do ground floor or town home design and one solution is to raise these units and another is to set them back and we looked at raising the floor and forenaturally because of the ada, because of the accessible issues that would have required putting a new hallway and ramp system in the garage of our building. When we started doing that our design got tortured. If we had added that interior passage way we might have dropped to a lower level and as much as we like to push the envelope on parking, our invest tores are not as adventurous as we are. Here is a perspective view of that or of that town home green buffer and there is the privacy screen. And we will again, working with a really tight, rightofway. We think that this is the most human treatment and it may not be perfect but we think that it is a step in the right direction. With that i am going to pass off the presentation to a project architect a

In and you can see the way that the garage is organized and we have gone to great length to accommodate the loading. And it will move in and move out and not required by the code but it is a way of easing the impact on the folks at mta and the bus turn around and also, we are providing a rest room and a halfback for the muni drivers that will stop at this area. Diagram that is washed out, it shows the fact that we do have active streets that are turning both of these corners and it is modest because of the widening of third street and it is only 81 feet and 85 feet in depth on that side and the parking behind and very discreetly and we have a lobby in the middle and the town homes in the blue and the retail space is in this in the corner. This is a close up view of this space that you would see and there is all of the transit in place, it will definitely be a hub in the neighborhood, and the pier 70 develops and the connection between the two neighborhoods, hill and dog patch and 70 th
Retail space is in this in the corner.

Once again, the frontage of the town homes and then going up to the mod um level, and showing the courtyard in the back of the building, and on the front of the building of third street you see a green area right there and that represents a court that is basically on the ground floor and a lobby and all of the floors above that, that is a subtraction from the building volume and we are going to create a vertical garden and so the lobby is at the street level and this will an mate the street and it also become an amenity for the users of the building and every time that we get off of an elevator or a stairway, in the common corridor of the building it gets to look on to thi
