CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS

Parking Garage - The parking garage will be a poured-in-place, 2-story concrete structure containing 102 parking spaces. The lower level will be appro ximately 4 feet below grade and have a clear height of approximately 8 feet. The upper level will be approximately 6 feet above grade and have a clear height of approximately 9 feet. Both levels will have floor drains throughout connecting directly to the city storm sewer system.

Construction - The building will be framed using engineered wood studs, with wood floor and roof trusses. The sub floor will consist of ¾ inch, 2500 psi gypcrete on top of a sound isolation membrane, on top of a 3/4" tongue and groove plywood deck. Resident demising walls will consist of two staggered rows of wood studs with R-13 fiberglass insulation and one layer of 5/8 inch "Hom asote" or similar soundboard insulation, with 5/8 inch drywall finished faces. There will be a 1-inch space between each row of studs; therefore no units share a common wall. The building will have a flat roof angled slightly for drain age into a pipe drain that ties directly into the building storm sewer system. The roof will be insulated with R-30 fiberglass batt insulation. The exterior facade of the building will be stucco applied using a 2 coat system.

Fire Safety - The structure is protected by a sprinkler system connected to a fully integrated smoke alarm system.

Doors - Entry doors are 8 foot, 1 ¾" thick solid core wood doors with two peep holes. Interior doors are 6'8", 1 3 /8" thick, wood veneer hollow core doors.

Windows - All building windows will be aluminum frame, double pane, low-E glass except for the windows in the northeast corner of the Cosmopolitan units. These windows will be commercial glass windows mounted using an internal curtain wall system.

Flooring - All carpeted areas (bedrooms and corridors) will utilize a 3/8" pad between the accoustomat gypcrete and carpet to ensure a soft feel and absorb sound. Living areas will utilize a 3/8" rubber membrane between the gypcrete and hardwood floor to control sound.
