Shulman asks about EV charging and flood mitigation
Shulman asks whether the applicant will include vehicle charging and how the building will address flooding; Lobel says they are considering EV charging, and Murray explains a blue roof will retain stormwater and release it slowly.
The community board made a recommendation to include vehicle charging facilities for the parking garage.
Is that something you're considering?
It is.
I've talked to Mr.
Murray about that.
It's something that this architectural team has put in other buildings similarly situated.
We'd be happy to do that.
Also, with every development that is coming into the district with all the...
Storms that we've had.
Forest Hills was never really a, is not a flood zone, but that said, there is a lot of flooding that occurs, especially with these weird storms that we're having and everything else.
So has any thought been given to how, when you're building it, to ameliorate that?
Yeah, I would probably defer to Mr.
Murray as well as Mr.
Corte.
Yes, so we would utilize a blue roof.
So as the storm comes in, we would retain the water on the roof of the building and slowly disperse that back into the sewer drains.
Great.
