This is a photo of the existing building.
1:22:25
We're looking at it.
1:22:26
From the corner of Berry Street And North Third Street.
1:22:29
It's a 3 to 5 story mixed use building with 3 seller levels, and it was constructed in 2010.
1:22:36
The existing uses include 84 dwelling units, 3 retail establishments, a health club located below grade, and the accessory parking garage, which is the subject of this application.
1:22:48
That garage is located on the sub seller level and contains 142 acquired accessory parking spaces.
1:22:55
100 of those spaces are accessory to the commercial uses in the building and the remaining 42 are accessory to the residential uses in the building.
1:23:03
Another thing that you can see from this image is that Berry Street is part of DOT's permanent open streets program.
1:23:10
So vehicles are restricted to local access and deliveries.
1:23:14
Which generally lowers regular traffic on this street.
1:23:18
And some number of months ago, DOT implemented 2 way bicycle traffic along Berry Street.
1:23:23
And reverse the direction of vehicular traffic along certain stretches at Berry Street, which is expected to further reduce vehicular traffic.
1:23:31
It's a little bit difficult to see from this distance, but along Berry Street is the entrance to the parking garage that I mentioned a moment ago, tucked behind that tree.
