Amitai Etzioni, a sociologist and a scholar of international renown, will join the George Washington University faculty in 1980, the GW Board of Trustees announced in October. Dr. Etzioni will be the first person to hold the newly established rank of university pro­ fessor. The establishment of this faculty rank allows the university to bring to campus scholars of distinguished reputation who have made significant contributions beyond any single discipline, demonstrating a wide range of knowledge and breadth of under­ standing. GW President Lloyd H. Elliott termed the action "one of the most important faculty appointments the university has ever made. Dr. Etzioni is a first-ranked scholar in social theory and sociology today," he said. Etzioni, who has taught at Columbia Uni­ versity since 1958, spent the past year at the Brookings Institution as guest scholar, and will come to GW from the White House, where he's a senior adviser in the Executive would deal specifically with research in pub­ Office of the President. lic policy.

She finds it more l( appropriate to address erthem as such because she has cultivated their friendships and diagnosed their illnesses for decades. Dr. Parker, professor emeritus of botany in resi­ dence, has taught in the university's biological sciences department since 1953 when she moved to Washing­ ton from Arizona, and has been in charge of the Bell Hall rooftop greenhouses since 1970. In a decade the 17 varieties of plants have expanded to 200, not count­ ing scores of cultivars. "We rarely, if ever, have purchased a plant," she says. "Most all have been given by friends and stu­ dents. They all have a very personal history." If pressed she will admit, like most obsessed gardeners, that she is not above pinching off an occasional stem­ tip between green thumb and forefinger. But only from an unguarded specimen with an over-abundance of leaves whose owner is absent. Dr. Parker is not, by birth or education, a horticul­ turist. Though she has been gardening since she was seven years old ("It got ni.e out of the housework my sisters had to do''), she was educated at Berkeley and the University of Arizona as a taxonomist-one who studies the classification and relationships of families of plants. She began teaching part-time at GW when a chairman of the biological sciences department discov­ ered her work at the Smithsonian Institution, where she is now honorary research associate in botany and does research in plant systematics every week. "I remember that Dr. Russell Stevens asked me if I would consider teaching a class in taxonomy at the university. When I came over to the campus, I discov­ ered that students here were used to working with a hand lens (a small round magnifying glass). Though I use a hand lens in the field, I had been trained on a dissecting scope (a microscope-like instrument with two eyepieces). Both devices magnify 10 times. I told Dr. Stevens I couldn't use hand lenses, but he was insistent. He begged or borrowed dissecting scopes from the zoology department for each student while the permanent ones were on order, and I was in business." "I wasn't keeping the greenhouse then, but each week I would bring down a potted plant and arrange it on a table in the hall. It would end up being the object of botanical conversation for the remainder of the week. Eventually, students began snipping cuttings, and some plants wound up less bushy on their return to the greenhouse." Then two things happened. Dr. Parker, by virtue of a petition from her students, began teaching horticul­ ture. Though she knew the subject from stem to root, "I didn't know where to begin teaching it. When I protested, the answer was 'Just teach us how to grow plants.' So I started out talking about soils, then the different ways to propagate: air layering, cuttings, seeds .... "Each student was responsible for a group of plants in the greenhouse, a practice which continues at present.

Mr. Michael L. Ainslie President National Trust For Historic Preservation 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Michael: The enclosed letter from Joe Getty concerning Red Lion Row is quite troublesome.

I have been intimately involved in this project for over two years and have personally attended many of the meetinqs hel.d between The George Washington University, the Advisory Neighborhood Commission and Don't Tear It Down to discuss the project. Never has the Trust been represented in those meet­ ings nor has the developer, The George Washington University, been able to present its viewpoint to the Nat~onal. Trust.? It appears that this letter was solicited by Don't Tear It Down to support their adversary position.

The letter calls into question the process used by the Trust in opposing or supporting specific projects before public bodies. This letter is· considered by the Zoning Commission as the official position of the National Trust·. They do not distinguish between the Regional Office's and Head­ quarter' s. policy. For Mr. Getty to oppose the project without ever undertaking his own independent research and hearing both sides of the issue seems both unwise ~d counterproductive.

I have also enclosed a similar letter from The Victorian Society in America for your review. Mr. Michael L. Ainslie December 3, 1980 Page Two

Any help which you can give us prior to or after the public hearing scheduled for December 8 would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely,

Interim Report of the University Urban Affairs Committee

During the initial period of the 1980-81 Session of the Faculty Senate, the Committee on University and Urban Affairs met three times to consider current plans by the University for the development of the campus area. ./ Initially, the Committee met with Vice President & Treasurer Diehl and members of his staff to obtain information on University plans for the development of the Red Lion Row, known also as the 2000 block of "I" Street, N.W.

In the last meeting of the Committee, Mr. Ken Brooks from Vice President Diehl's office made a presentation of the architectural plans and perspective views of the proposed Red Lion building project, focusing on the general layout and types of retail stores to be established within the building. Subsequently, the Committee continued its deliberations and agreed to compile a summary of its firidings pertaining to the proposed Red Lion Project, as indicated below:

1. The George Washington University has made public detailed plans for the Red Lion project to be built on Eye Street between 20th and 21st Streets, N.W.

2. The University had previously solicited input from the Faculty, the Student Body, and Neighborhood Groups for consideration during the preparation stage of the plans for the proposed project.

3. The Faculty Senate Committee on University and Urban Affairs conducted a survey of faculty opinion on the desirability and types of retail stores in the campus area which indicated strong support by the faculty towards the establishment of certain types of retail stores in the area.

The following resolution was then introduced and passed unanimously for transmittal to the Faculty Senate:

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CURRENT PLANS BY THE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RED LION ROW

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE FACULTY SENATE OF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON ) UNIVERSITY That the Faculty supports the proposed plans by the University for the Red Lion Row Development. In particular, it supports the preservation of the existing historic structures as currently envisioned by the University, and the extensive retail space included in the development. .. • •

The Committee reconunends that the above resolution be placed on the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Faculty Senate, for possible adoption by the Senate.

Respectfully submitted,

Nr. Henry H. Brylawski, Chairman UHOWES AND BLOCHER ' The Joint Committee on Landmarks of the National Capital National Capital Planning Commission 1325 G Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20576

Dear Mr. Brylawski: I The National Trust for Historic Preservation has followed with great interest the planning for the redevelopment of "Red Lion Row". As one of the last re­ maining clusters of small scale, mixed use 19th century vernacular buildings that once typically lined Pennsylvania Avenue, these buildings constitute a highly significant cultural resource in the District of Columbia. We have been gratified at efforts to develop a plan that attempts to integrate the remaining landmark structures with the proposed new construction. We believe that this project has the potential to become a model for other projects in­ volving design relationships between old and new buildings.

We would like to express our concern over the following design issu?S that we feel should be considered by the Committee in its review of the proposed plan at the hearing on the 20th of November:

• the potentially adverse impact on the landmark structures from the proposed height and siting of the new office building;

• the proposed design of the .two Eye Street entrances and the result­ ing visual fragmentation of the streetscape;

• the size and scale of the galleria and the visual impact of the glass skylight;

• the potential loss of the historical integrity of the landmark buildings due to the minimal retention of original building fabric.

The overall design concept will only be successful if the new construction is compatible with the sites' historic resources. Furthermore, we believe the critical issue is that the integrity of those historic resources be preserved. We hope that this will be foremost in the Committee's mind as it reviews the design plans.

Dear Karen:

I do appreciate your memorandum dated November 17, 1980 concerning the ANC action on Zoning Commission Case No. 80-llC. Having the written points is very helpful while we are waiting for a copy of the final resolution passed by the ANC. We would have been more pleased if we could have had full support for this tremendously important project.

Re: ANC action on Z.C. Case No. 80-llC

The following points will form the basis of the opposition the ANC Special Committee has to the proposed rezoning and PUD application of the University. It should be understood that these points are merely the recommendation of the Special Committee and the individual Commissioners can delete or add to this list during the meeting.

~-- ,.,'\-.~,., .... t-~"" t-n"' h-.,.·upl nf~irP. ~financial service center and the I .~ .. • • 1. The ANC remains strongly opposed to the ttansfer of development rights in any part of this project. Specifically, the ANC opposes the proposal by the University to permit the development rights of the common service area (Lot 854) to be transferred to another part of the square.

2. It is important to preserve the integrity of the historic landmark; in order to do so, the original portions of each of the landmark

buildings~included in the project should be preserved in their entirety.

3: The architecture of the new building is overall incompatible with the scale of the rowhouses. The design of the new building l is not site-sp~ific, visually overbearing and forms a barrier to the University campus and the connnunity. It is f articulated in such a way that it does not reflect the pattern f' 'i of the rowhouses and it creates an architecturally visual • conflict with its surroundings.in terms of the scale (which is is too large), the massing (which is fortress-like), and detailing (which is monotonou~.

4. The 8025 square feet of galleria area and pedestrian way should be included in the FAR calculation for the project since the area is usable floor space. If this area is calculated into the FAR of the project, the Un1versity would exceed the allowable FAR under the PUD proyision of the Zoning Regulations.

S. There should be a primary entrance to each rowhouse on I Street with an option to use the mall entrance as the secondary one. It is critical to retain an active street life on I Street and use of the rowhouses is the best way to achieve that.

6. There 9hould be only one new main entrance on I Street to unify all of the elements of the project currently segregated under the University's plan. More than one new entrance is destructive to the cohesiveness of the rowhouses

7. The proposed uses for the retail area should be more service-oriented. The Special Committee submitted a list of desirable uses in January, 1980, which should be reconsidered. Specifically, there is objection to a travel office, a financial service center and the large number of clo~ng stores proposed.

November 16, 1980

Mr. Kenneth D. Brooks Real Estate Development Project Officer Office of Vice President and Treasurer The George Washington University Washington, D.C. 20052

Dear Ken:

I was shocked and surprised by your letter of November 14, in which you exnressed concern over the Foggy Bottom and West End Advisorf Neighborhood Con~ission's approach to the Red Lion Row develop~ent oroject. I feel it necessar'J to address some of the allegations in this letter so that the ANC's actions and oositions are correctly represented and that the already Colil';Jlex negotiations between the ANG and the University are not made even more difficult.

First, I take strong exception to the thrust of the letter, which casts aspersions on the onenness and fairness of the ANC in its dealings with the University on this project. The ANC has approached this project not with a predisposition to opposition for the sake of opposing, as the letter implies, but with a sincere desire to come up with a solution which meets the needs both of the University and the com.rnuni ty. The ANC has consistently advocated this kind of advance discussion and planning with GWU in the uast, often to meet v.i th less than a forthcoming resnonse from the University. That is orecisely why we welcomed this opportunity for - cooperation.

Unfortunately, the ANC 1 s hones for supporting the Red Lion Row project have been made increasingly difficult to realize by some of the positions taken by the University in its meetings with the community groups. The ANC 1 s Red Lion Row s-oecial committee for many months had expressed reservations over various asnects of the prooosed development. The bulk and design of the . ) , -fage' two ... . "' •• new building, access from Eye Street, and the extent of pNservation of historic buildings have been some of the most outstanding issues discussed. The committee also conveyed these reservations to the University ~learly and in a timely fashion in a memorandum. Regrettably, the UniY'::rsity's response to the memorandum was less than flexible on almost every major issue, leavir.g doubts as to what extent the com,nittee meetings were intended for a real give and take--a spirit which you call for in the letter--or whether they were meant mainly as a vehicle for the University to "inform'' the com~unity of its intentions.

As for the resolution which the ANG 1 s com:ni ttee subnitted to the ANC and the public for discussion, there was nothing surorising or "clandestine" about it or its contents. The concerns it registers about design and bulk, access, and preservation were all clearly laid out in the previous memo­ randum and in previous comments by the com.~ittee. These concerns appear to reflect the views of the community and some members of the Joint Com:nitee on Landmarks as well, based on their preliminary com~ents at the November 7 meeting. It would not be appropriate for me to address your lengthy critical comments on the 11 Don 1 t Tear It Down" pronosal since, as you know, the ANG has not thoroughly studied this proposal nor taken any position on it.

I am convinced that it is still possible to resolve our differences on the Red Lion Row project with a consistent application of the S?irit of compro­ mise, mutual trust and respect which you advocate in your letter. The ANC's sincere willigness to cooperate with the University and come up with solutions which benefit all parties has never changed.

Sincerely yours,

Jon Nowick Chairman

Ken;

The ANC looks forward to entertaining the University's comments at its special meeting Monday, November 17, when it must decide what position to take on Red Lion Row before the D.C. Zoning Commission. This meeting was announced at the November 3 ANC meeting. It will take place at 7:30 at St. Mary's Court, 725-24th Street, as indica.t.ed ~n a flyer given to Kirk White last Friday. This meeting is not a special committee meeting, but a meeting of the whole ANC.

Because of time constraints, I will ask both parties--the ANC's Red Lion Row committee arrl the University--to limit their presentations to 30 minutes. I will then allow each party another 15 minutes for any rebuttals. Unless the University prefers otherwise, I will ask the A~~ co~~ittee to make its presentation first.

Please call me at 351-2435 if there are any questions or problems.

November 14, 1980

Mr. Jonathan H. Nowick Chairman Foggy Bottom and West End Advisory Neighborhood Commission l(X)l26th Street, N.W. Suite 403 Washington, D.C. 20037

Dear Jon:

In view of the many interests involved and the complexity of the project, in planning for the 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue project, we have involved many groups: government officials and staff, civic leaders; community members, faculty, and students. To this end, over the past several months our team of architects, engineers, and consultants have met numerous times with the Foggy Bottom Association, West End Citizens Association, Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2A, the GWU Student Association, the GWU Faculty Senate, Don't Tear It Down and officials and staff of the D.C. Government and other agencies. In short, we believe we have been entirely open with the community and the ANC over a series of months.

As best we could, we have outlined our plans to you, our neighbors. We have incorporiated many of your suggestions, and we feel that the final product which has emerged from these meetings enables the University to provide many services to the commmunity and to our students - activities which the community has said they-wanted. We have increased the retail space, redesigned the in-fill on Eye Street and made numerous other changes. The project is a better one because of this process.

We are shocked and dismayed, however, at the recent action of the ANC in passing a resolution adopting a statement similar to one made by Don't Tear It Down. As we understand it, the DTID proposal, which is the only alternative we have seen to date, will do the following things:

-For approximately one-third of the Red Lion Row closest to Eye and 20th Streets, the back of the old buildings would be jammed directly against the office building, eliminating the 20th Street Page two

entrance and the galleria with its interior skylight. This means that the first several floors of the building on the east end will not have windows, nor will the backs of the rowhouses have natural light.

-The remainder of the 11 lost" galleria would be simply an enclosed backyard open to. the weather, not usable when the weather is cold or windy and rainy, and poorly ventilated when the weather is too hot.

-The project is rendered ineffective for the retail needs originally planned. Retail space would be effectively reduced from over 50,000 to 10,000 ± square feet. The interior retail space suggested without the galleria simply will not rent. This amount of retail space is not adequate to meet the needs that your groups have asked us to include. • -The alternate proposal asserts tha~, the University:s plan would remove pedestrian traffic from Eye Street. To the contrary, it would increase foot traffic because of the much more extensive retail services that will become available.

-The alternate proposal to retain the existing configuration of the rears of the Red Lion Row houses poses three serious problems. First, there are major problems with fire and life safety. None of the existing buildings meet building code requirements. Second, most are structurally unsound. Third, the existing configuration of the buildings denies access to the handicapped.

-The height of the office building in the alternateproposal is one story more than ours. From the very beginning, we have made it clear that an economically viable project must include a large office building to support retention of the row buildings.

I am personally disturbed with the turn of events since October 23 and certain activities since then are lacking in the openness with which we have tried to work with the ANC. I do not want to dwell on this but would simply like to illustrate my point. First, your letter of October 23 to Mr. Brylawski transmitted the Karen Gordon memorandum but not our reply or the results of a subsequent meeting in which we discussed the memorandum with you. Second, the clandestine drafting of a resolution which we still have not seen also disturbs us.

I have been the proponent of planning and designing this development out in "the open." This is a process that necessarily must involve a compromise, a give and take, trust, and respect for other viewpoints. It is not one that can accommodate opposition simply for the sake of opposing. There is a compromise between preservation, the office building, and community needs in the PUD Plan. We have been trying to meet community needs in a bold and exciting way but maintain a viable economic project. Page three., • I set all this down in writing to indicate• concern with and to question the fairness of the basic approach being followed by the ANG with regard to the 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue Project at this point. I respect the right of the ANC to make up its own mind and even to oppose the project. However, since the entire project is now at the brink of economic feasibility, we must proceed on a very careful basis or else there will be no project at all.

At the November 3 ANG meeting you tentatively set the date of November 17 for a Special Committee meeting with the University. We appreciate the opportunity, and will be pleased to meet with the Committee, but request that you have the Presidents of the citizens organizations as well as your experts present so that we may have a full and frank exchange concernirg the concerns you have raised and our "bottom line." There are some things that we can change, but there are others which we cannot, given the physical limitations, the zoning envelope, the economics of the situation and the requirement to conform to our approved campus plan. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Kenneth D. Brooks Real Estate Development Project Officer

- 2 - AssIBLE/ PRESERVATION A.L7E?J:Anvr:s' FOR r'1JL.c:Y co:·l:PA ...\~r PROPERTIES• n~ / SQUARE 101

k. •• .... 1. Potential Assistance in Preserving the Existing Buildings on the Site. .~ .-~·:: D.C. Tax Relief -

As designated Historic Landmarks of the ~1ational Capital, the four Foley-o,.;ned properties at 2022, 2024, 2026 and 2030 Eye Street, ::.w,, are eligible for D.C. Real Property Tax Relief pursuant to Section 432 of Title IV, Public Law 93-207, 93rd Congress. Briefly, in .·-...... order to be eligible for such tax relief, the Foley Co~?any would .:.· '•. have to enter into an agree~ent with the Xayor of the District of • .., Columbia for a period of not less than twenty years to use and maintain the buildings in a manner which would assure the continued -) preservation of the buildings as an historic site. In return for this agreement, the buildings would, in addition to bein0 assessed at full market value, be assessed, both as to land and improve~ents as an historic site, which latter assessffient, if it were less than · the full market value determined without regard to the historic . ··...... nature of the building, would be the basis of tax liability to ' .. '·.' .· the Distr.ict (Copy of Regulation apd Draft Covenant Attached).

On June 24, 1977, Xr. Jacobs requested the D.C. Department of Finance and Revenue for a preliminary assessment of the four prop­ erties in question. A response should be available by the ~eeting on next Tuesday. In view of the fact that the Foley Company prop­ erties are located in a C-3-B zone, the tax savings available under this provision may well be substantial. For example, a covenent recently executed bet'.·leen the city and the ovrner of a resiC.enti.:11 ,-·· .. Historic Landmark building located in a C-3-B zone resulted in tax relief in the a~ount of over $16,000 for fiscal year 1978. ... Tax Refor~ Act of 1976

On Ju;J.e 20, 1977, >Ir. Jacobs formally no:c.inatcC: the South Side of the 2000 Block of Eye Street, N.W., to the ~lational Register of Historic Places. If, as expected, the nomination is accepted for listing in the National Register, and if the Foley Cor;ipany ~ere to rehabilitate its four properties for co~:iercial pur~JOses, there a:-e several federal income tax incentives provided for in the Tax ?.efor.::i Act of 1976 which might be of substantial benefit to the Co~pany: 1) it ~ould allow accelerated depreciation (150% declining balance method) with respect to the entire basis of the rehabilitated cornmercial property; or 2) it would allow rehabilitat:o:: expenses to be amortized over a 60-rnonth period. The new provision thus

National Park Service }iistoric Preservation Grants-in-Aid The National Park Service adr:linisters a. historic preservation ;;rants­ - in-aid progra~ to the States and the District of Coluobia which pen::its up to 50~~ ;natching grants for restoration pi.;rposes for: National Register properties (Brochure attached).

If the four roley Coop.:J.ny Buildings were listed in the National Register, they would '::ie eligi'::ile for such oatching grants. Eo":ever, ... ·•· . in view of the limitation of these funds, it is unlikely that oatch­ ...... , ing grants in the full a~ount of 50% would be available for at least the next several years.

2. Potential Site Develoo~ent of roley Cocaanv Prooertv ~ithin Scuare 101

In response to a request for assistance in studying potential site ... developr::;ent within Square 101 of the Foley Cocpar.y's -real estate, .:' . the staff of the Cor:-.::tission on Fine Arts h2s prepared seve:-al •ough ,.'.•. sketches (copies attached) indicating the site configuration of a scheme to build a new office building behir.d the najor portions of the buildings now existings on lots 827, 57, 37 and 33.

The Corr:m.ission of Fine Arts staff schewe CO'[lte::;;JlcJ.tes re.r::oving all other existing stru~tures on the site and renovating the four exist­ ing to~uhouses for shop and office space that would be tied into mechanical sys ter.is of the new office building i:;--~-;;ediately behind them. A new narrow facade element, stylistically sirailar to the Red Lion Row would be constructed on the site of the existing Foley offir:.e building. This would provide an entrar..ce to the ne:v t'..:o­ level, below-grade, 50-car gar2ge. The Red Lion Row building which has had its facade partially demolished could become an entrance to the new office building behind. Where the der;:;oli tion on the ground floor has occurred a new opening through to the office lob'::iy could be constructed. The upper floors of the Red Lion Row could for.n ~..;o floors of continuous office space and 2030 Eye Street could be renovated as an independent structure. The high ceiling and park view would ma~e this premium office space.

In the space behind the renovated builciinss, a new office buildin~ could be constructed a;)pro: • r., ... .. ·, . <' '~ () I ~ J ~ ,, .: 1 '4- ,... ·. .. Y.~ ~1·<.9~ >3 \.~ .:_\. ';. } -~ ..

______.______c.__ LINOWES .AND BLOCHER • MEMORANDUM

TO: Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2A Foggy Bottom Association West-End Citizens Association Don't Tear It /(J~nr-c/o Karen Gordon FROM: J. Kirkwood W(p"~and Phil T. Feola~:::{. DATE: October 14, 1980

SUBJECT: The George Washington University PUD, Square 101

In response to your "Issues" memo, dated September 18, 1980, and our subsequent meeting with representatives of the above-men­ tioned groups on September 22, 1980, the following is a brief description of our understanding, and/or explanation of those issues:

1. Common Service Area: As we explained at the September 22nd meeting, it is the university's intention to use this common service area so that loading vehicles, primarily trucks, can be removed from 21st Street and completely execute their turning movements within the Square. This common service area will serve the proposed develop­ ment, and the future University development in the Square. The land area of the common service area is not needed for the PUD, nor is the FAR that is "attached" to that land necessary for the project. The · area is included in the PUD boundary for two reasons: 1) since the land in question is zoned R-5-C, authorization is needed to allow access to a commercial project; and 2) that authorization can be made by the Zoning Commission at the same.time as the PUD only if the matter is included within the PUD boundary.

The inclusion of the area in the PUD~application is a proposed solution to a problem· of traffic problems caused by truck loading on a major thoroughfare and is a requirement of the District of Columbia Department of Transportation. It also provides for a more aestheti­ cally pleasing design solution to the loading activity. As mentioned above, it was included in the application for the Planned Unit Develop­ ment so that the Zoning Commission could acquire jurisdiction over this matter to allow loading activity on residentially zoned land. It is ·not the University'·s intention to seek to rezone this portion of land· from R-5-C to C-3-C. It is the University's intention in the future to <::;irry out the Campus Plan requirement that the southwest corner of the Square be developed for University uses. The University does not want to change the deve1opment rights attached to the common service area. The proposed reservation .of FAR will not be a '"blank-" check to the Univer­ sity. The community and the citizens will be heard when the University ..

appears before the Board of Zoning Adjustment for the future Univer­ sity-use building. The community will have the same opportunity to be heard when that development is ready to proceed as they would have- otherwise.

The University is agreeable to have the FAR for this common service area be assigned to a specific lot or lots adjacent to it. We feel this will be in the best interest of the University and the citizens. It will remove an undesirable traffic element from the 21st Street corridor thereby reducing traffic congestion and allow for only one curb cut ··off of 21st Street when the total development of the Square is completed. Further, there will be no rezoning and the use of the reserved FAR will be for University purposes, and not for future commercial development. As you know, this issue is totally in the discretion of the Zoning Commission. At the same time, the University cannot give up the FAR for this site and has the alternative of asking that it be included in the PUD project. The University could be forced to utilize the FAR in this project, thereby making the building and project larger. The University does not want, nor will it attempt, to do this. That is why it seeks to reserve the FAR or the common service area for a future project in the Square.

2. Design of Office Building Entrance and University Gateway on I Street:. The University has directed its architects to evaluate the entrance locations for the project. In addition, the :Qniversity's architects have met with designated architects that the groups have suggested to explore other entrance alternatives. Further, the Uni­ versity has directed its retail consultant to review all the entrances to the retail area.

It is the University's desire, which we think is shared by the community, to develop an efficient and feasible retail development. In order to accomplish this goal, pedestrian traffic must be encouraged in, and around, the retail spaces including those under the office building. The University will look at the alternatives suggested to see if the retail space can remain viable and whether certain entrances can either be removed or modified. It must be kept in mind, however, that the project must have a separate office entrance and a direct passage to the University yard to be functional. ·

3. Retail Uses: As we discussed at the meeting, the University has engaged a retail consultant to determine an appropriate "economic retail-mix" for the project. The community groups' list of preferred uses is a part of the consultant's study materials. The preliminary study will be available soon. The University will share this study with the community groups and is willing to explore possible changes and/or modifications to that proposed retail mix. The retail uses are intended to provide services for both the University and the commu­ nity. This is an economic sacrifice for the University at this ...... ~ LINOWES AND BLOCHER .. Page Three

prime office location and it will fulfill a need of the community. If the proposed uses are not marketable, then no one benefits from empty retail space.

4. Access from I Street: As we discussed at the meeting and as indicated in Issue No. 2 above, the University is reviewing, .and having its consultants review, all options concerning access to and from the retail area. The University and the community groups, we believe, have a common goal which is to ensure pedestrian acticity in, and around, this retail development. Entrances through some of the row buildings from I Street may be possible. The University is not unilaterally opposed to that concept if it can.work. Our best retail advice to date, however, shows that the retail stores must be double-loaded in order to provide the marketing ambience necessary for success. The retail stores must be accessible from the galleria or it may be necessary to dramatically reduce the amount of space the University plans to devote to retail uses.

5. East Elevation Design: As was discussed at the meeting, the architects will explore a treatment of the garage entrance to lessen impact on the church on 20th Street.

6. Secondary Facade Elements: It was the architect's intention to accurately reflect a 19th Century "alley" in the rear of the row buildings, as opposed to the primary facades on I Street. The Univer~ sity has directed its architects to re:...think and redesign certain of those secondary facade elements to more accurately describe what was a 19th Century alley elevation.

7. Depth of Buildings to be Retained: The University's propos~. al to retain existing row buildings to varying depths is based on analysis of the structural and economic aspects of the overall project. 'It is a primary goal of the University to reuse the row buildings and create a viable streetscape. However, requirements under the building code ; fire code,:( and certain structural deficiencies must be taken into account in the .reuse of these buildings. The University. believes that this project should not be a "museum" but a living restoration. The University's consultants and architects believe that there are strong reasons why the buildings need to be rebuilt to the extent they are proposed to be in1he application.

8. Cornice Line: As described in Issues 2 and 4, the University has directed its architects to re-evaluate the cornice line of the building as per your suggestions in the September 22n~ meeting. However, as expressed in that meeting, the University does not want to use future University space in the southern half of this Square by pushing commercial space to the south. LINOWES AND BLOCH.ER• Page Four

9. Project Boundary: The University has not included the pedestrian walkway to H Street within the project boundary as it is really an off-site improvement. It is the University's firm intention to build this walkway and landscape it in accordance with the plans. The University is willing to provide a written statement to the Zoning Commission that the University will develop this pedestrian walkway by the completion of the project.

10. Materials: The University will review with the community groups the different colors of brick proposed in the new off ice build­ ing, and the coloring and tones for the restoration of row buildings after receiving initial comment from the Joint Committee on Landmarks at its conceptual review meeting on October 23rd.

11. Pedestrian Passageway: As described at the meeting, the University's request that 8,015 square feet not be included in the FAR calculations includes the pedestrian passageway underneath the building from I Street to H Street and includes the portion of the enclosed galleria space which is covered only by glass. The University is asking that these spaces be excluded from the FAR calculations because the passageways provide public benefit to the community and the city. The galleria and passageway are planned to be a public space and would not be included in the FAR calculations except that the University will cover it with glass to allow for its use on a year-round basis.

We appreciate your written comments reflecting the specific con­ cerns that the community has concerning this project. We feel.that reasonable solutions can be reached on all the issues. We are encouraged by the level of participation, the care, detail and work that the community groups have contributed to this project. As has been men­ tioned, there are a number of issues that we are currently working on and will respond to with particulars as they become available. Not all the answers will be available prior to the Joint Committee review on October 23, 1980. We look forward to continuing working with you.

/ To: Kirk White ~ Phil Feola I ~ From: Karen Gordp~tf ~\ '\ For: Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2A Foggy Bottom Association West End Citizens Don't Tear It Down Re: Square 101

The following are issues that the above organizations have identified as ones with which they are not in agreement as stated in the PUD application filed for Square 101. This list is not the official position of any of these groups but rather what they would recommend as a position to their respective boards of directors or commissions. It should be noted that these are not in any order of priority with the exception of the first concern which is of great importance to all the groups. 1. Common Service Area: There is strong opposition to the proposal that the area in Figure 3 be used as access to commercial loading facilities, that the area be excluded from the FAR calculations and especially that the FAR from the site be transferred to other property. - 2. Design of Office Building Entrance and University Gateway on I Street: It is the belief of the groups that another solution be pursued for these important features of the I Street facade. I 3. Use: It is important that the University be more :specific in the types of uses to be in the shopping galleria. The Special Committee provided the University with a list of-· preferable uses which should be specifically reflected in the proposed retail mix. 4. Access from I Street: It is critical to retain an active street life on I Street. Therefore, there must be strong encour-agement by the University to ·potentia 1 lea see~ to use the I Street entrances to shops. Without the:·street life, future plans to close I street will be almost meaningless and the community will only gain an·~n-town shopping mall.. 5. West Elevation Design: There is a problem with the design of the garage door next to the church. Perhaps there is a design solution. 6. Secondary Facade Elements: The secondary facade elements should more accurately reflect 19th Century buildings. 7. Depth of Buildings to be Retained: As discussed earlier in the project, tr.ere is a preference on the part of the above groups to retain the historic buildings to a depth_ of at least 30 feet. --r--···--· ·-,i ,.,,__ ...... - • - 8. Cornice Line: The new building is visually overbearing. We will offer some suggestions on Monday so the building steps back better. 9. Project Boundary: The pedestrian walkway to H Street is not included within the project boundary. It should be corrected to ensure its inclusion in the project. 10. Materials: There should be further discussion on the different colors of brick proposed to be used in the new building. 11. Pedestrian Passageway: We would like more information on the University's request that 8,025 square feet not'.be included in the FAR calculations.

This is not an exhaustive list of issues which will be raised in the next few months, but represents several issues about which there is strong opinion at this point. There will be representatives of all of the organizations at Monday's meeting and we will propose solutions ta some of the problems described above. · . Please call me if there are any questions about any of the items in this memorandum. :""'' M. .. '\ ,.· , ...... , ...... gs.o 107.75 ..

Mr. Charles E. Diehl Vice President & Treasurer •• The George Washington University Rice n·an Washington, D.C. 20052

Dear Mr. Diehl:

A special committee has been designated by the Foggy Bottom and West End Advisory Neighborhood Commission to respond to the university's request for suggestions on the preservation and development of the south side of the 2000 block of I Street, N.W. (Red Lion Row). In response to a request made by your office late last year, the committee has compiled a list of buisnesses and services it feels would be an asset to any new development within the ANC boundaries. In addition, the committee also identified several uses allowable in the C-3-B district which it finds unacceptable in any retail/service area which is to be devoted to community services. The remaining group of uses identified are ones considered to be in plentiful supply in the immediate area, too large for the projected amount of retail space, or inappropriate for the type of project the university is proposing on the site.

List I - Pref erred Uses*

Laundry or dry cleaning establishment Photographic studio Picture framing studio or shop Musical instruments and accessories sales Bar or cocktail lounge Cobbler or shoe repair shop Collection station for dry cleaining or laundry Locksmith Radio or Television repair Shoeshine Parlor Tailor shop Watch repair shop Art supplies store . Bakery Bicycle sales and repair Cameral or photographic supplies store Electric appliance store, including television and radio sales Flower stand or florist shop Food or grocery store Gift shop Hardware store Hobby shop, including the sale of toys Jewelry store Mr. Diehl Page Two •, January 22, 1980 ...

List I - Preferred Uses (continued)

Lunch-.counter, lunch room, cafe or restaurant Music store Newsstand Notions or novelty store Art Gallery (as part of another store - Ex. Art supplies shop. etc.) Home furnishings (small) *As of ten as possible, the committee prefers to see appropriate services ..combined• •

List II - Unaccepatble Uses

Chancery or international agency Bank Ticket office

List III - Inappropriate/ Too Large Uses

Service .Station Printing establishment Lithographing establishment Photoengraving establishment Motorcycle repair and sales Mechanical parking garage Motel Public swimming pool Automobile laundry Automobile rental agency Billiard parlor or pool hall Blueprinting or similar reproduction service **Bowling alley Catering establishment Dental laboratory Funeral, mortuary, or undertaking establishment General indoor storage Interior decorating shop Laboratory, optical Parcel delivery service Plumbing or heating shop Drive-in restaurant **Public bath, physical culture, or health service Radio or television broadcasting studio and antenna tower in conjunction therewith Streetcar or bus passenger depot Tailor shop or valet shop, with no li1nitation on the gross floor area Telegraph office Veterinary hospital Antique store or shop Auction house Automobile accessories sales, including installations -.,-~~ ...... ~ ·-:-_, r ~ Automobile and truck sales ~,....·,. Department store Display stand or store for mail order sales Dry goods store Furniture store Ice sales Mr. Diehl Page Three January 22, 1980

List III - Inappropriate/ Too Large Uses (continued)

Leather goods store Office supplies and equipment sales Optical goods store Pet shop Precision instrument sales Drive-in type restaurant **Assembly hall, auditorium, or public hall Tileatre, including motion picture threatre Dressmaking shop ... Frozen food locker Laundry, self-service Optician and Optometrist Radio or television repair Automatic ice delivery station Automobile accessories sales, excluding installation Book store Cosmetics or toiletries store Drug store or pharmacy Off-premises alcoholic beverages sales Paint store Sporting goods Store Stationery store Tobacco products stores Variety store

**While these uses are too large to be included in the projected retail area, the community would like to have access to these types of uses in other parts of the building.

We would like to meet with you and your architects and planners to discuss whatever plans the university has at the present time for the preservation and development of Red Lion Row. We are looking forward to your response and appreciate the opportunity to comment on this very important proje~t.

Mr. Robert E. Dickman George Washington University Washington, D. C. 20006. Dear Bob: As per our telephone conversation, the Executive Committee of the West End Citizens Association have expressed an in­ terest in a bowling center for the area. It can either be established in the Smith Center where national tournaments - such as the Firestone Tour can be held, but also avail­ able as a commercial establishment for rental to the citi­ zens, or it can be part of a new development. There is also a need for a commercial coin operated laundry in the area.

In any event, if the Trustees of the University are interes­ ted in the needs of the community, it may want to consider the above items.

We have no further request to make at this time. Sincerely,. . __,... } ' ,....,/"""' ___ Q. ... ~4'-- -~.~~;;<_.~/<:___7 ' c/James J. koJ.inelli, President West End Citizens Association

As noted in the November request we need your committee's early input for us to proceed with project planning. To maintain our schedule, we must complete preliminary architectural studies by mid­ January. For these studies to be meaningful to our mutual interests, the architect must have a program statement of community/retail,, ~pace.

Allowing time off for holiday vacations, which I'm sure the architect's staff will want, we would appreciate receiving your committee's report as early this month as possible.

The George Washington University has recently acquired several additional commercial properties on Eye Street between 20th and 21st. In keeping with GW's 1970 campus pian, the University is proceeding to develop a commercial project which will create an important gateway to the University campus and will produce revenues so that we can continue to maintain support of educational activities without a total reliance on increasing tuition levels.

The University is cognizant of the block's landmark status and is mindful of historic preservation considerations of certain buildines. We are also aware of expressed concerns regarding provision for retail enterprise in any commercial development we undertake. Like the Joseph Henry and Thomas Edison developments, this project will produce new tax revenues for the District of Columbia.

We are meeting with the groups and individuals--citizenry, preservationists, governmental officials and those in the GW community-­ who will be affected by this development. These sessions are now under way and will continue through the fall. Once we have received comment from these people, which will help us finalize our plans, we will be able to describe the proposed development of the block in some detail and respond to questions.
