That the Agency, subject to City Council review and approval: 2. Authorize the CEO or designee to execute an Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan Agreement for an amount not to exceed ($2,400,000) and any other related loan documents with Decro Osborne Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership for an affordable housing project for families located at 12360 Osborne Street, Pacoima, CA.; and 3. Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment B) making the finding that an economically feasible alternative of financing on substantially comparable terms but without subordination of the Agency Deed of Trust and Covenant is not reasonably available. SUMMARY The recommended actions are needed to execute an Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan Agreement in an amount not to exceed $2,400,000 for acquisition and predevelopment costs Osborne Gardens 2 associated with the Osborne Gardens. The project will be located at 12360 Osborne Street, which is located in the Earthquake Disaster Assistance Project Area for portions of Council District 7. (Attachment C). It should be noted that this project was presented to the Project Review Committee on February 10 and the Committee made several requests from staff which included revising the site plan to relocate the Community Building to a more centralized location on the site and to eliminate a proposed use of the open space as a soccer field. Additionally, Committee members received a draft copy of the proposed Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan Agreement prior to scheduling the project for Board action. Another item of note is that the developer is submitting an application under the MHP program which is due on April 5, 2095. The apartment complex will provide 51 family units. The proposed unit mix of this complex is as follows: (14) 1 BR, (15) 2 BR's; (21) 3 BR's; and a 2 BR- Mgr unit. All of the units will be rented to extremely low, very low and low income households at the following income levels (24) units at 40% of median income, (14) units at 50% of median income, (13) units at 60% of median income. Agency funds will be used for various predevelopment related costs, including land acquisition, architectural and engineering, city permits and fees and project financing fees. The preliminary development costs for the housing, community space and parking is estimated at approximately $14,409,000 (Attachment D is the Proposed Predevelopment Budget and Attachment E is the Preliminary Project Proforma). The following terms and conditions will be included in the Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan Agreement as conditions precedent to the disbursement of any Agency Loan funds associated with acquisition: 1. Developer must provide staff with a market land appraisal from a qualified MAl appraiser which demonstrates (and supports) the market value of the site is at least equal to the proposed purchase price. 2. Developer must provide staff with copies of a preliminary soils investigation from a qualified engineer to demonstrate that the site is not subject to a significant amount of soil exportation and/or infill or seismic conditions. 3. Developer must provide staff with copies of a Phase One Environmental Assessment from a qualified environmental consulting firm to demonstrate that the site is not subject to any significant remediation measures. 4. Developer must provide staff with copies of a preliminary geological report to demonstrate that the site is not subject to significant seismic problems. 5. Developer must provide staff with copies of signed escrow instructions demonstrating that a time extension to close escrow has been obtained. In addition, the following terms and conditions will be included in the Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan Agreement as conditions precedent to the disbursement of any Agency Loan funds associated with predevelopment costs excluding land acquisition costs: Osborne Gardens 3 6. The developer shall start construction by July 2006, which will be specified in the Schedule of Performance included as an attachment to the predevelopment loan agreement. Noncompliance with the Schedule of Performance will be subject to the remedies described in the loan agreement. 7. The developer will provide evidence of all construction and permanent financing commitments by start of construction, which will occur on or before June 2006. 8. The Agency shall commit no more than ($2,400,000) for development of the Osborne Gardens. 9. The developer shall submit to staff a monthly status report on the status of obtaining additional public funding, progress of architectural plans, etc. 10. Developer must provide staff with copies of its tax returns for the last three years prepared by a qualified CPA firm. 11. Developer's pending Credit Report must reflect that the proposed borrower is not in default of any of its existing loans. 12. Developer must provide staff with evidence of any city entitlement required to build the proposed project. 13. Developer must provide the Agency with all of the standard insurance required for an Agency Loan. Initial actions. SOURCE OF FUNDS The Earthquake Disaster Assistance Project Area for portions of Council District 7 Housing Trust Funds. PROGRAM AND BUDGET IMPACT The recommended action will amend the Agency's FY05 Work Program and Budget to create a revised Work Objective PC1060 (Osborne Gardens) for this project. The proposed funding will not impact other existing work objective for the Earthquake Disaster Assistance Project Area for portions of Council District 7. The funds for this project represent using funds that are currently allocated for the Osborne and Foothill housing projects (PC 1060 and PC 1050, respectively). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The recommended action is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per paragraph 15280 "Lower-Income Housing Projects" of the State CEQA Guidelines. Osborne Gardens 4 BACKGROUND The project site is located on the 12000 block of Osborne Street in Pacoima. The total area of the site is 56,913 square feet (1.30 acres). The site has a condominium development to the Northeast, which wraps around it on the Southeast side, a multi-family development to the West across the Osborne Street and relatively under-developed multi-family zoned land with a few single story structures to the Southwest side. The developer proposes constructing a building along Osborne Street that is a two-story residential structure and blends into its surroundings. The three story structures are situated at the center and rear of the lot away from the street view. Additionally, the site slopes down as it moves further away from Osborne Street. The intent is to completely separate pedestrian and vehicular traffic. A driveway runs along the southwest property line to a parking garage at the rear of the site. The community room opens up to a garden courtyard that provides an opportunity for indoor­ outdoor use for community and social activities. The complex also has a tot-lot area between the two residential buildings adjacent to the main garden courtyard. The project is designed with priority given to green building principles. Following is a list of sustainable features which would be considered/used: 1. Pervious driveway paving and vegetated swales for better storm water management (the goal would be for all site rain water to percolate into the ground so that no water runs in to the public storm system).

  • STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57T1i Street (Aka 106-116 West 58L" Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 13, 2001, Designation List 331 LP-2100 STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57t1i Street (aka 106-116 West 58l" Street), Manhattan. Built 1924-25; [Whitney] Warren & [Charles D.] Wetmore, architects; Thompson-Starrett Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1010, Lot 25. October 16, 2001 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Steinway Hall and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions oflaw. Eight people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the property's owners, Community Board 5, Municipal Art Society, American Institute of Architects' Historic Buildings Committee, and Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission received two letters in support of designation, including one from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The sixteen-story Steinway Hall was constructed in 1924-25 to the design of architects Warren & Wetmore for Steinway & Sons, a piano manufacturing firm that has been a dominant force in its industry since the 1860s. Founded in 1853 in New York by Heinrich E. Steinweg, Sr., the firm grew to worldwide renown and prestige through technical innovations, efficient production, business acumen, and shrewd promotion using artists' endorsements. From 1864 to 1925, Steinway's offices/showroom, and famous Steinway Hall (1866), were located near Union Square. After Carnegie Hall opened in 1891, West 57t1i Street gradually became one of the nation's leading cultural and classical music centers and the piano companies relocated uptown. It was not until 1923, however, that Steinway acquired a 57th Street site.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1028, Lot 42. On March 18, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Society House of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was continued to April 15, 2008 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two people spoke in favor of designation: representatives of the Historic Districts Council and Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America. A representative of the building’s owner indicated that they did not oppose designation, but wanted regulation to be limited to the front facade. In addition, the Commission received a resolution from Manhattan Community Board 5 and a letter from State Senator Liz Krueger in support of designation. Summary Built in 1896-97 to the French Renaissance Revival style design of architect Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz, the Society House of the American Society of Civil Engineers was the headquarters of the organization founded in 1852. As the engineering profession grew rapidly in the 19th century and its membership increased, ASCE needed a new building, said to be the first such project for a professional American engineering society.

  • OSBORNE APARTMENTS 205 West 57Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 13, 1991; Designation List 238 LP-1770 OSBORNE APARTMENTS 205 West 57th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1883-1885, 1889; architect, James Edward Ware; 1906, architect, Alfred S.G. Taylor. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 1029, Lot 27. On December 12, 1989, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Osborne Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 34). The hearing was continued to April 3, 1990 (Item No. 25), and then to July 10, 1990 (Item No. 5). All three hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of seven witnesses at the three hearings spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses were opposed to designation. The Commission received numerous letters both in support of and in opposition to designation. The Board of Directors of the Osborne Apartments has expressed support for the designation.1 DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Osborne Apartments, built in 1883-85 and designed by the talented and prolific architect James E. Ware, was one of the earliest luxury apartment buildings in New York City. Constructed in what by 1890 had become New York's first apartment house district, near Central Park, this architecturally-impressive building is a rare surviving example of the original development in this city of multi-family dwellings for well-to-do residents, an increasingly important building type in the 1880s. The Osborne's design draws elements from the popular Romanesque Revival style, such as the heavy, rusticated stone exterior with deeply set windows, for a sense of solidity; these are combined in a bold and original manner with the refinement, proportions, and strong horizontality of the emerging Renaissance Revival style.

  • 130 West 57Th Street Studio Building, 130 West 57Th Street, (Aka 126-132 West 57Th Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 19, 1999, Designation List 310 LP-2042 130 West 57th Street Studio Building, 130 West 57th Street, (aka 126-132 West 57th Street), Manhattan. Built, 1907-08, Pollard & Steinam, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1009, Lot 46. On July 13, 1999, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 130 West 57th Street Studio Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were six speakers in support of designation, including the owner of the building, representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and the Historic Districts Council. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. In addition, the Commission has received letters from Assemblyman Richard N. Gottfried and from Community Board 5 in support of designation. Summary Built in 1907-08 to provide living and working facilities for artists, the studio building at 130 West 57th Street is a rare surviving example of this unusual building type, and a reminder of the early twentieth century period when West 57th Street was a center of artistic activities. Designed by architects Pollard & Steinam, who had previously created several artists’ studio cooperatives on West 67th Street, this building profited from the experience of the developers and builders who had worked on the earlier structures. The artists’ studio building type was developed early in the twentieth century, and was an important step toward the acceptance of apartment living for wealthy New Yorkers.
