Ruzzo explains site plan, flood zone, and parking design
Ruzzo describes the U-shaped building opening toward Linden, with parking and storage in the cellar due to flooding. He notes a bidirectional driveway and above-grade parking along Sapphire.
Next slide, please.
The diner is on the left of the screen.
You can see Linden over there.
The building is a U-shape with the opening of the U facing toward Linden.
We then have a lower roof and an upper roof, which we'll see in a second.
Next slide, please.
On the lowest level, we are in a flood zone.
This area does tend to flood very regularly.
To that end, we have parking only and storage proposed in the cellar level.
79Th at the north of the screen is about 10 feet higher than Sapphire along the bottom of your screen.
And the grade actually lowers as you go along the right and you go down.
The proposal here shows a bidirectional driveway on the left-hand side of the screen that provides access to both 79th and to Sapphire as well as entrance into our proposed parking garage,
which is completely above grade along Sapphire on the bottom of the screen.
