ine analysis of the community benefits of
these design considerations, we believe the
project will ccrus tothe community a Metine
present value $57M benefit from reduced
{carbon emissions, a §225M benefit for reduced
fir pollution in the forms of S02, No2, PM2S,
C0, 03 and VOCs, and §100K in'social water
benefits due to reduced groundwater and
streamflow depletions,
We are intrigued by the opportunity to
Participate in the citys Living Building Pilot
Program and potentially take advantage of
the development incentives made available
through that program. Given the time frame
and complexity of this pursuit, however,
we aren't able to fully commit to the LBC
Pilot Program at this time but are certainly
Potential should Kiley advance to the next

‘with Miller Hull anc other partners te further

‘through that program and will be prepared to
engage ina dialog with the city as the project
moves forward
MINIMIZING IMPACTS,
MAXIMIZING OPPORTUNITIES
We recognize that there are a number of
subsurface utilities that willampact the project,
most notably the large CSO drop structure
long Roy Street and ite associated conveyance
lines. Our approach will be to minimize the
relocationherouting of subgrade utlities in
order to reallocate development dollars to
those areas where the investment will be
more visibly impactful areas, le. the buildings
themselves and the public realm, including
the streetscape,
For example, the Land Use Code allows for 785
parking stall (at 11,000) however, building the
‘umber of levels ina subgrade parking garage
9 accommodate that number of vehicles
would involve rerouting @ number of utilities
atasignificant cost. We have therefore chosen
0 limit the depth of the garage in order to
avoid impacting these utilities, which resutsin
fewer parking stalls Inorder to mitigate trafic
Impacts of the property, we plan to deliver
725 parking stalls, and optimize multi-modal
transportation through bike sharing and ride
sharing partnerships

We are proposing a project that provides many
cof the public benefits outlined in the RFP.
These benefits wil attract a range of socio
economic users, support a variety of activities
