Sorry Brandon.
Thought I had reply.
Yes, 7 EDU’s is what I calculated, and your project won’t need to worry about the moratorium.
Hope you have a good day and great weekend.

Subject: Hillside Liquors EDUs
Good Morning Kip, I accidently sent this email to Kip Provonche from SHA first. He was nice enough to let me
know of my mistake, so let me try this again, haha…
We had a meeting earlier this week on some zoning and planning comments and items with sta(cid:431). They provided
us the heads up that any project needing more than 7 EDUs will be in the sewer moratorium category. The
project’s current proposal includes 6-2 bedroom apartment units in the 2nd story. Each unit is approximately
25’x36’. There are two stair towers that are each approximately 19’x8’. The first floor is 6,048 s.f. of the liquor
store retail use. Of that 6,048 s.f., approximately 1,218 s.f. is back storage and o(cid:431)ice area with a bathroom. No
public restroom will be o(cid:431)ered. No food prep or deli is proposed.
We are hoping to confirm we are 7 EDUs or less based on the current architectural proposal which I have attached.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any questions to assist with determining EDU’s.
Thank you for your time and have a great weekend,
Brandon

4. COMMERCIAL
A. PARKING
1. Location of Parking Lot
The parking is located on the side and rear of the building.
2. Drive-thru Business
Not applicable.
3. Parking Lot Circulation
The vehicular circulation is arranged in a one-way, counterclockwise
direction around the building. The parking and circulation are
designed to accommodate both car traffic and truck deliveries. The
layout allows for deliveries by semi-trailer trucks, which are the
usual delivery vehicles to the liquor store. The trucks can park in
the drive isle toward the rear so not to interfere with car traffic.
4. Parking Lot Landscaping
As indicated, there are several landscape islands the reduce the visual
impact of the parking lot.
5. Parking Lot Screening
The parking lot is not adjacent to a public way.
6. Pedestrian Walkways through Parking Lots
There is a sidewalk the entire length of the parking area on the building
side providing access to the building, both the store and the upper-level
apartments.
7. Mass Transit Bus Drop Off / Pick Up Area
None provided.
B. SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN
1. Connections
The street sidewalks are connected to the building sidewalks via a walk
on the south side of the entrance drive that crosses over the entrance
drive and connects to the sidewalk at the southwest corner of the
building.
C. STRUCTURES
1. Prominent Entrance
The facade that faces the street has a covered porch and large
storefront glazing and an entrance to both the liquor store and the
apartments. There is a second building entrance on the southside of
the building which is visible from both the view from north-bound traffic
on 213 and from the parking lot. The large canopy covering both
entries and elevated walkways (A), along with the large storefront
opening and decorative light fixtures (B) and prominently located signs
(C) all contribute to the prominence of the entries.
2. Massing
As outlined below, the building has been designed to have a distinct
base, middle and top.
3. Ground Level Details
Brick belt course (b), brick pilasters (c), projecting sills (e), porches (i),
canopy columns (c), decorative metal panels (k), large storefront
windows and metal louvers concealing the foundation piers (k) are all
elements incorporated in the ground level and lend to the base, middle,
top delineation and desired pedestrian scale.
4. Screening Blank Walls
The north wall does not face a street, but it is visible from Commerce
Street. Due to the requirement inside the liquor store for an entire wall
length walk-in cooler, the north side of the building on the lower level is
devoid of fenestration. The entire wall is faced with brick (a) and is
divided vertically with belt coursed of brick at the base (c), second
floor (c) and cornice (d). The base is also divided into bays that are
accentuated by the louvered openings and above with window sized
recesses with projecting sills and heads that mimic the second story

apartments. There is a second building entrance on the southside of
the building which is visible from both the view from north-bound traffic
on 213 and from the parking lot. The large canopy covering both

brick wall that will match the building brick. The service side will be
enclosed with two 6’ high chain-link gates with vertical privacy slats.
2. Massing
As outlined below, the building has been designed to have a distinct
base, middle and top.
3. Ground Level Details
Brick belt course (b), brick pilasters (c), projecting sills (e), porches (i),
canopy columns (c), decorative metal panels (k), large storefront
windows and metal louvers concealing the foundation piers (k) are all
elements incorporated in the ground level and lend to the base, middle,
top delineation and desired pedestrian scale.
4. Screening Blank Walls
The north wall does not face a street, but it is visible from Commerce
Street. Due to the requirement inside the liquor store for an entire wall
length walk-in cooler, the north side of the building on the lower level is
devoid of fenestration. The entire wall is faced with brick (a) and is
divided vertically with belt coursed of brick at the base (c), second
floor (c) and cornice (d). The base is also divided into bays that are
accentuated by the louvered openings and above with window sized
recesses with projecting sills and heads that mimic the second story
window openings alternated with larger areas of decorative metal (i &
k). There is also buffer planting and a 6’ privacy fence proposed along
the north property line on that side.
5. Plazas, Courtyards, and Seating Areas
A 735 SF roof deck is proposed for the residence of the apartments on
the southeast corner of the building.

A bike rack, decorative trash receptacle and picnic area for the
apartment residents is proposed.
7. Orientation to Streets
The site is an unusual shape with the street frontage only wide enough
for the site entrance which limits the building from being any closer to
the street.
8. Setbacks
The street side of the property is mostly taken up by the entry drive
and there is no additional space for pedestrian areas.
9. Weather Protection
All building entrances are covered with ample canopies.
10.Roofline Expression
The street facing end of the building has a gable roof over the
projecting enclosed stair facing the street and a larger gable roof
parallel to the street over the first bay of the building. The flat roof
portion is concealed with a sloping mansard roof and parapet wall. The
front facing gable is capped with projecting brick rowlock courses, a
cast-stone cap and aluminum coping. The walls on the eave sides is
capped with a projecting brick soldier course and the eaves are
trimmed with aluminum fascia and gutter.
11.Concealing Rooftop Equipment
All outdoor mechanical equipment will be located on the roof and will be
concealed with a 5’ high parapet wall. Due to the flood way, no
equipment can be located at grade. A roof deck for the apartment
residence is also concealed by the same parapet wall.
12.Expression of Entrances to Large Commercial Developments
Not applicable.
D. LIGHTING
1. Parking areas, travel lanes and sidewalks are illuminated by a
combination of pole and building mounted LED, full-cutoff lights, and
decorative LED fixtures mounted on the underside of the canopies.
