COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT:There is a limited amount of commerical development along Delridge WaySW. A small strip mall on the Northwest side of Anderson St and the first

floor retail of Youngstown Flats a block west from the site, the Kidney Center,Bartell’s Headquarters and the leaseable office space of 4000 Delridge make upthe majority of businesses in the immediate region.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT:Most properties along Delridge Way SW are single family homes, many of whichappear to be rental properties. Acting as a bookend to our site are three smallapartments with approximately 4 units each. With the exception of Young’sTown Flats, with 195 units, nearly all of the residential buildings in the area arelimited to double story, single-family dwellings and small three-story apartments.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT:Within the immediate walking range of the site are a number of ammenities toconsider. Just South of the site is the Delridge Park and Community Centerand to the Northwest is Long Fellow Creek. There is relatively frequent bus

service to downtown at the stops one block North and one block South ofthe site. The right-of-way immediately to the north and the properties to theEast and South have maintained dense foliage along the shared property lines,allowing our site visual access to trees and nature from nearly all sides.

In order to bring significant light tothe main residentail entrance andcommerical entrances the “Visage” LEDlight, or a similar alternative, will berecessed into the north exterior wall ofevery building entrance.

Exterior grade string lights will be usedfor toplighting on the 5th floor patio.lights will zig-zag between the East andWest roof.

LIGHTINGTwo (2) 8’ lamp posts similar to theone shown will be installed in the 2ndfloor courtyard near the seating areato insure sufficient light and usability year-round. The lamp posts will have aclean and modern aesthetic to matchthe stop lights and wall lights elsewherein the project

In order to bring significant light intothe outdoor community patio we haveselected the above LED path lights.the lights, or fixtures similar in sizeand aesthetic, will be mounted to theconcrete stormwater planters on thesecond floor and directly to the sidingon the fifth floor patio. The will also beused to light up the private 2nd floorpatios.

PLANTING

Plants for 4106 Delridgeare divided into 5primary zones dependingon soil conditions,visibility and light.

The wall-mounted planters rangein width from 4-8’and will be filled withboston ivy. The vineswill progressivly coverthe retaining wall withgreenery.

  The private yardsfor 2nd floor residentswill consist small andmedium ground coverplants and shrubs inplanters with 12” of soil.

 Stormwater

planters are fed by roofrun off and will be filledwith plants that thrive

in a flooded condition.Plant types will varyfrom one planter toanother based on lightneeds

The 5th floordeck will be plantedwith 24” square trays ofsedums. the sedum mixwill be designed to , butmore catered towardsdirect sunlight.

  The street-sideplanting strip will be

planted to complimentthe other planting stripsin the neighborhood.The street trees will bereplaced and shrubs witha more fragrant elementmay be added to livenup the street.

corner where an NC1-40 zone abuts a residentiallyzoned lot.

Departure Request: The building would normally be requiredto provide a 15’ triangular setback where the southproperty line meets the Delridge right of way. The appli-cant would like to build the round floor driveway accessin this setback. The four floors above the ground levelwould not be built in the setback.

Reasons for the departure: Due to the slope of the site and

the vegetation on the neighboring property this portionof the structure would be almost entirely undergroundand screened from the neighboring residentially zonedproperty. Setting the garage level back in a 15’ trian-gle would be visually odd from Delridge Way SW.

lot line for portions of the structure over 13’-0” abovegrade when adjacent to residentially zoned property.

Departure Request: The rear yard has an average setback of

20 feet, and has a minimum setback of 10 feet.Reasons for the departure: The building site is on a very

steep slope. The fifth floor of the building is not morethan 13 feet above the street level of the neighboringresidential house, and would not visually loom over theneighboring property. It would also not block access tolight. Locating the mass of the building in the rear set-back allows the design to set back from the neighboringproperty to the south, where its mass would have moreimpact.

g yCS1: Natural Systems and Site Features:

A. ENERGY USE

"; 'ZVOTe 3RaS^VU? At the earliest phase of projectdevelopment, examine how energy choices may influencebuilding form, siting, and orientation, and factor in thefindings when making siting and design decisions.

  )VU\aZUV? Energy use will have little influence onorientation – the building is on a lot that faces east –

west.

B. SUNLIGHT AND NATURAL VENTILATION

"; ,LZ MZN /SZN? Take advantage of solar exposureand natural ventilation available onsite where possible.Use local wind patterns and solar gain as a means ofreducing the need for mechanical ventilation and heatingwhere possible.)VU\aZUV? The building will be shaded by a hillside tothe east, and will have exposure to west light. This isdifficult to use for heating, since little light is availablefrom the west in winter.

8; &MeYSTRQ MZN ,RMNSZT? Maximize daylight for interior

and exterior spaces and minimize shading on adjacentsites through the placement and/or design of structureson the site.)VU\aZUV? The project will not significantly shadeneighboring properties. Properties to the east are uphillfrom the site and will not be shaded. There is a 60foot right of way to the north, which minimizes shading.Properties to the west will be shaded by the hill as wellas the project.Windows in the units are designed to be tall with atall head height to maximize light penetration into theinterior of the units.

south and west facing facades through shading devicesand existing or newly planted trees.)VU\aZUV? Solar gain will be partially managed byshading from balconies and the roof overhang on thewest façade.

C. TOPOGRAPHY 

"; (MZN FaOb? Use the natural topography and/or otherdesirable land forms or features to inform the projectdesign.)VU\aZUV? The project is designed to step up into the

hillside.

8; 'YV`MQSaZ 3RMZTVU? Use the existing site topographywhen locating structures and open spaces on thesite. Consider “stepping up or down” hillsides toaccommodate significant changes in elevation.Response: The location of the parking is stepped upto the extent possible, but the required parking leveldetermines the base of the building.

D. PLANTS AND HABITAT

"; 1Zd,SQV FVMQLOVU? Incorporate on-site natural habitatsand landscape elements such as: existing trees, nativeplant species or other vegetation into project design

and connect those features to existing networks of openspaces and natural habitats wherever possible. Considerrelocating significant trees and vegetation if retention isnot feasible.)VU\aZUV? Retention is not feasible on this site, andalthough the site is overgrown there are no significanttrees.

CS2: URBAN PATTERN AND FORM

A. LOCATION IN THE CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD

"; ,VZUV af 0YM^V? Emphasize attributes that give the neighborhood, and/or the site its distinctiveplace. Design the building and open spaces to eareas where a strong identity already exists, anda sense of place where the physical context is lestablished. Examples of neighborhood and/or sfeatures that contributed to a sense of place inpatterns of streets or blocks, slopes, sites with visibility, relationships to bodies of water or signtrees, natural areas, open spaces, iconic buildingtransportation junctions, and land seen as a gatthe community.)VU\aZUV? This neighborhood is a linear neighorganized along Delridge Way in the valley betwPigeon Point and Longfellow creek. There are f– west connections along Delridge, especially in area. The building is not a gateway or feature neighborhood – it is midway along the neighborin one of the “gaps” between commercial streetdevelopment.
