parcels will have access to the proposed new Nash &Kollock Street to the south, Churton Street to the east, and Margaret Lane to the north. The site is predominantly clear of trees and has 20 feet of fall from the north to the south of the property. The proposed Gateway Center will be constructed in the southeastern corner of the property at Churton and Nash &Kollock Street. This intersection will be signalized as a part of this project and synchronized with the existing signals on Churton Street.

Potentially, light tubes may be used to lighfi interior spaces on the upper floor. • Low water use toilet facilities, including waterless urinals. • Energy-efficient systems design for HVAC equipment, including high-efficient pumps, motors and fuel-burning equipment. • Use of grey water (cisterns) for flushing and irrigation. 2
