Chair Louis questions construction impact mitigation for existing residents
Chair Louis asks about measures to address negative impacts on current residents during construction. Ginsberg describes an off-site assembled panelized facade system for faster enclosure and reduced noise, drilled piles to minimize noise, and pump-and-cast construction. Lobel notes a restrictive declaration for construction measures will be required on the property title prior to any work.
I have a couple of questions before we dismiss the panel.
The first question, what measures are you proposing to address potential negative impacts on the current residents from the proposed construction?
So one of the things we're doing is the facade will be an off-site assembled panelized system.
So the building will be enclosed faster, which will cut down on noise to the adjacent existing residents.
And also the building will just be built.
Faster and more of the work is happening off-site so there'll be less disruption on-site
so that's a major part of it we will the piles are largely drilled so which will minimize the noise there still will be noise I'm not gonna
Say there won't be, but that minimizes it.
And it's a port and place building, so there'll be a crane, but there won't be large plank or concrete elements that are being hoisted.
It'll be pumped up and cast on site.
I'd also just note that the project, as it proceeded through environmental review at city planning, there was a requirement for a restrictive declaration to be entered into with regards to construction measures at the site.
So that would be entered into the into title for the property and would be required prior to proceeding to, you know, working on on any jobs on the site.
So there's.
So there's that is going to be in place.
