A council member asks a question about why the applicant added office space to the building.
Speaker 1
0:28:14
I wanna go to the building, the new model that Nick pointed out.
0:28:19
I'm very interested in the office space.
0:28:22
That you guys incorporated in each unit.
0:28:25
Mhmm.
0:28:25
Can you explain to me, did that come from because Richard stated you guys have been a part of them a process.
0:28:33
So did you hear that from community leaders?
0:28:35
Like, where did that thought process come to add the office space into each of these units?
Speaker 5
0:28:40
It was more from the shape of the site because we had all this all this floor area, and we had a deep site.
0:28:47
And we saw that we wanted to lower that that right hand part of the site.
0:28:50
So then we had some extra floor areas.
0:28:52
So usually, it's not it's not the most efficient depth once you get past, like, like, let's say, 60 feet.
0:28:58
So when you add in the home office as you get to about 70 feet, 70 plus feet.
0:29:03
But we saw that we had the floor area.
0:29:05
We saw that there was a demand for this within the area, and we just thought it would be good.
0:29:10
And then I mean, then COVID happens, and it just seemed like it was a much more, like, appropriate thing So, you know, everybody liked it.
0:29:16
It it it does stuck, but it was actually coming from from the shape of the site.
Speaker 1
0:29:20
Does each unit have this
Speaker 5
0:29:22
I think so.
0:29:22
At this point yeah.
Speaker 1
0:29:23
Yep.
0:29:24
And from that space, you couldn't produce another unit, like another room.
0:29:30
Maybe.
Speaker 5
0:29:31
You you can, but you can't really use it for legal light in there because it's, like, stuck back, like, within the thing, like, within the unit.
0:29:38
So you're always you always have a limit with how many with how many bays that you have.
0:29:43
You know?
0:29:44
So the width of the building dictates how many, like, how many different rooms that you could put in.
0:29:47
So we could either prioritize doing some more units and have have some more rooms or we could do the bigger units with that more depth with that home office.
Speaker 1
0:29:58
Alright.
0:29:59
Thank you.
0:29:59
Sure.
