fortunate to be part of the vibrant community he want to talk about our aspirin it began at your 2013 community project at that meeting the executive director asked what our contributions to the community would be not gru just by building the buildings but how we can make a difference for the people through many conversations we've partnered with u p and developed a dynamic collaboration to connect youth to the employment opportunity through real estate and construction and development the 2013 and 2014 we had great participation. in 2013 with had two

so the project the 923 fulsome is between fulsome and shipley streets and 5th street as part of the eastern neighborhoods plan, which obviously calls for an industrial use to more mixed uses including housing. the existing conditions talk about the small surfaced parking lots it didn't contribute to good pedestrian experiences there is almost no straight on shillly street it's a chain link fence. in contrast to the existing use the proposed project will utility the lot and provide much needed housing it will make a

pedestrian experience on both streets. in addition the significant small businesses will be prepared for the recipe an open court yard and open terrace. the ground floor of the project seeks to place actually used on shipley and fulsome a retail space of 3 hundreds 45 square feet on shipley street we've activated the frontage and altered a lot of streetscape and street plans to enhance the pedestrian experience composer the primer entrance is on fulsome street and the other on shipley this allows additional street parking.

in this section you'll see the property straddles who limits open fulsome 85 feet and shipley to 45 feet due to the right-of-way of shipley it's reduced slithering. this action shows our intention for an architecture element and this is intend to provide a unique signature moment to breaks the plan to provide for variety and also it is consistent with the planning code section. this section also shows the court yard space. this shows the typical floor plan 19 united per floor within the two connected wings and

above the 45 level the shipley wing becomes assessable to acknowledge residents with a combination of landscape areas that includes raised patches where resident can grow vegetation. we took a lot of our intermission from the contacts in the neighborhood and by and large one house star windows and some earth masonry elements and with the occasional a, b, c sent of color we took inspiration to have a high quality of materials. so i see on the bottom right we have earth town with the because

of the building and planter we have things and layers cut elements that are fabricated and a modern interpretation of some old industrial processes. we have glasses that match that. as a facade on fulsome street is organized by some larger elements that help to break the facade and the scale of the building it contains a juliette balcony they provide the residents with the access to in door to audit and more appropriate than popping balconies out on fulsome street those elements are picked out in on the accent colors that highlight those colors. at the eastern color you see the architecture quality at the top

that breaks the 85 foot zoning line. and it is also subtly accented by the color they provide interests by far but as the residents approach the building they can see the detailed as you get closer. here we see the residential inventories that is accented with a canopy to the left a place holder and the pedestrian experience and the landscape and the bicycle parking. the quality of the materials will be evidence at the pedestrian scale. in this view you see the retail component on fulsome street again activate the street frontage. and then on the shipley street

we really tried to break the massing of the project more appropriate to the scale of shipley street by alternatively the colors and using the balconies to break down those elements. so in comparison we see the existing condition at the top and what we feel is a very active contribution to the architecture character of this area going forward. and finally another detail the shipley facade again, we feel the high quality of the metals and balconies screens. thank you. >> okay opening it open this up for public comment please line up on the screen side of the
