DAWN ZIMMER CITY HALL HoBoKEN. New JERSEY March 1, 2017 Dear Councilmembers, ‘As you may know, on the agenda is a resolution regarding the preservation of the Church at 901 Bloomfield Street in exchange for density at the redevelopment property at 83 Willow Avenue. If you are not aware of a letter from the attorney representing 83 Willow Avenue, | have enclosed it for your review. The letter, dated December 16, 2016, states: “The concept of increasing the density of the building to be built on the 77-83 Willow Avenue parcel is not practical because a number of floors would have to be added. The value of the approved project at the 901 Bloomfield Avenue is so great that at least four additional floors would have to be added to the building on the redevelopment parcel. This would increase the building's height by at least forty feet. Construction of the 901 Bloomfield project will be starting without delay.” [also want to let you know that the Church at 901 Bloomfield was incorporated into the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 2005 and included by the Hoboken Historic Preservation Commission as a protected site. The exterior of the Church will be enhanced, including replacement of damaged brick and cleaning of the granite, brick, brownstone, etc., as a condition of approval by the Hoboken Zoning Board. There is an extensive letter of requirements as to how this building will be restored that must be complied with as a condition of Zoning Board and Historic Preservation Commission approval. I wanted to provide this information to you so you have all of the facts ahead of the meeting tonight. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, a Dawn Zimmer Mayor Encl. JOHN J. CURLEY LLC Attorneys at Law John J.

Director of Community Development City Hall 94 Washington Street Hoboken, NJ 07030 Re rublic Works Garage Site Redevelopment Area Redeveloper: 83 Willow Ave. Apartments Limited Liability Company Property:77-83 Willow Ave. Block 1, Lots 11, 12, 13 & 14, Hoboken, NJ Our File No.: 388.1260 Dear Director Forbes: represent 83 Willow Ave. Apartments Limited Liability Company in connection with the above property. 1 wish to express my client’s appreciation for your efforts in setting up the meeting conducted on December 1, 2016 with the City Council Redevelopment Subcommittee. ‘The following is a summary response by the redeveloper to certain key issues that were identified at the meeting: 1. Parking There is a commitment and an agreement in place for the use of nine parking spaces in the proposed building by residents of the condominium located at 89-91 Willow Avenue. A copy of the agreement for the parking of nine cars is enclosed. The proposed building will also provide forty-two parking spaces for residents of the Jefferson Trust Condominium. I have spoken with the attorney who represents the Jefferson Trust Condominium. He and I are conducting a review of a series of agreements and land use resolutions that call for forty-two parking spaces to be provided at the property until the time that a public parking garage is built on the 307 Newark Street property. A summary of the parking agreement will be provided for incorporation into the redevelopment agreement. 2. 901 Bloomfield ‘The concept of increasing the density of the building to be built on the 77-83 Willow Avenue parcel is not practical because a number of floors would have to be added. The value of the approved project at the 901 Bloomfield Avenue is so great that at least four additional floors would have to be added to the building on the redevelopment parcel ‘This would increase the building’s height by at least forty feet. Construction of the 901 Bloomfield project will be starting without delay. 3. Height The redeveloper will make every effort to limit the height of the building to be built on the redevelopment parcel. As discussed at the meeting, it is the redeveloper’s view that the parking efficiency created by use of the Klaus parking system provides Justification for the additional height that is required to provide automated parking, 4, Retail Uses ‘The redeveloper is in the process of compiling a list of appropriate uses for the proposed retail space in the building. We should be able to coordinate and agree upon a list of desirable uses that provide flexibility and economic feasibility, 5, Condo/Rental The redeveloper proposes as a compromise that ten of the dwelling units will be residential condominium units. The additional twenty-one dwelling units will be rental units within a separate master condominium unit. The retail space unit and the parking garage would also be separate master condominium units. This proposed condominium structure would be subject to approval by the Department of Community Affairs. The redeveloper looks forward to having a further discussion with the subcommittee as to the issues summarized in the letter and other concems. If there are any other questions or materials that you need to continue your analysis of this project, please contact me. We look forward to working with you on project so that it can move quickly to the City Couneil for approval of « redevelopment agreement. Very truly yours, QO Wn John J.

The ‘scope of restoration is limited to the exterior facade, bell tower, turrets and gable ended masses on 9” Street and Bloomfield Street, historic doors, slate roofs and associated copper flashings, gutters and ‘ornament as indicated in the design documents produced by Marchetto, Higgins, Stieve and dated 29 July 2014, ‘This document outlines an approach to the restoration that is in keeping both with the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation and widely accepted best preservation practices.

Heritage Design Collaborative 1[Page First Baptist Church 901-07 Bloomfield St. Hoboken, New Jersey SECTION 0490 MASONRY BRICK MASONRY (Orange Iron-Spotted) Scope: The existing, orange iron-spotted brick has been damaged in numerous areas by water infiltration which has led to a quantity of brick that require some level of intervention. Given the degree of damage the scope of the repair will be limited to removal of the damaged brick and replacement with a brick that is as close to a match as possible. 1. If possible, damaged brick will repaired by replacement with new replacement brick unit 2. Replacement shall consist of the following: cut out the mortar which surrounds ‘the affected brick units using a tuck-pointer’s toothing chisel. Remove all existing mortar from the perimeter of the repair area. Take care not to damage adjacent, existing brick masonry unit edges. Remove all dust and debris and ‘other bond reducing material. 3. Dampen the masonry surfaces in the repair area before replacement units are placed. Allow masonry to absorb all surface moisture, Butter the adjacent perimeter surfaces of the surrounding masonry and replacement units. Center the replacement unit in their proper location respective to coursing and pattern and press into place. Remove excess head and bed joints — when mortar becomes thumbprint hard, tool joint to match the surrounding masonry joint profile. Replacement Brick: The best case scenario would be to ‘mine the building’ for replacement brick ~ much like the roofing slate is being salvaged for use on other parts of the building. As there is no obvious source of excess orange iron- spotted brick several alternatives will have to be considered, these include: ‘© Standard: Select the closest matching manufacturer's “stock” orange brick for use as replacement material - the brick will most likely have to be cut tossize, © Custom: Manufacture a small custom lot of color-pattem and size matched bricks. ‘© Cannibalism: identify area(s) of original brick (presently incorporated into the structure) to be removed and replaced with modern brick. The removed brick will be re-installed in areas closer to the sidewalk or in highly visible areas. © Combined Approach: utilize manufacturer's standard brick in localized areas that are less visible or farther from grade while at the same time removing original brick from an isolated location (replacing with Heritage Design Collaborative 2|Page First Baptist Church 901-07 Bloomfield St. Hoboken, New Jersey manufacturer's standard) and reinstalling the salvaged brick in areas closest to grade. NOTE: The key to each of these alternatives is to create a weather-tight and sound exterior envelope. As the existing brick has a range of color, rather than a single uniform color ~ selective use of modern brick as replacement brick even if they may not be the best color match could fit into the overall appearance of the brick field "DECORATIVE MASONRY ‘Scope: Clean existing ornamental brick found at ridge of gable ends. The extent ‘ornamental brick appears to be largely intact with some staining and dirt. Closer ‘examination will be required but assuming the extent of the condition problems is, limited to dirt/staining then cleaning of the building should address the issue. = MORTAR BRICK Scope: Removal of all deteriorated or incompatible mortar or joint sealants. Joint shall be raked out and re-pointed using appropriate mortar. Mortar Analysis: @ minimum of two mortar samples shall be taken from locations to be selected by the restoration architect. ‘The following tests shall be conducted on the mortar samples’ 1. Petrographic examination to identify original components (binder types, sand ‘mineralogy, etc) and assess material quality. 2. Polarized light microscopy testing using petrographic thin sections. 3. Chemical analysis through atomic absorption spectroscopy. 4. Acid digestion The purpose of the mortar analysis shall be to determine the constituents and ratios of the pointing mortar to formulate pointing mixes for compatible pointing mortar to be used in repait/re-pointing operations. "MORTAR ~STONE Scope: Removal of all deteriorated or incompatible mortar or joint sealants. Joint shall be raked out and re-pointed using appropriate mortar.

Recommended treatment options: 1. Rusticated stone with lite areas of delamination or deterioration should be tooled back to solid material - no more than %” of material should be removed. 2. Rusticated or Flat stone with decay extending beyond the face of adjacent brick/stone should be patched using an approved “single-component, cementitious, rmineral-based mortar” such as Jahn70 — hand mixed colored cement/mortar should not be utilized as a patching material 3. Rusticated stone with significant extent of decay may also be replaced with new sandstone selected to match the existing brownstone as closely as possible, 4. Profiled stone, such as friezes and ornamental bands with isolated losses shall be patched using an approved “single-component, cementitious, mineral-based mortar” such as Jahn70. 5. Ornamental stone shall be individually evaluated and an approach to restoration developed with consultation by the restoration architect ~ While some reconstruction may be preferential, omament that is deteriorated but stable may be retained ‘as-is’ rather than reconstructed. 6.

Open-Valley Flashings: Fabricate in lengths not exceeding 10 feet with 1-inch high inverted V profile at center of valley and equal flange widths of 12 inches NOTE: tis anticipated that further review of existing roofs (including slate shingles, sheathing and flashing) will be undertaken to better evaluate the condition of extent roofs prior to defining complete scope of roof work. Salvaged slate may also be used on new roots if quantities allow ~ however the highest priority should be given to using salvaged slate to replace damaged or missing slate on historic roofs to remain or replacing modern roofing materials such as asphalt shingles. Alternatives to using salvaged slate on the “new” roof include the following: = _ Install salvaged slate on new roofs facing Bloomfield and 9" Streets only. * Install faux slate on new roofs. * Install an alternative, sympathetic roofing material, such as standing seam metal. SECTION 07620: COPPER FLASHINGS, GUTTERS, AND ORNAMENT SCoPE: All deteriorated or aged (beyond useful life) flashings, gutters and ornament shall be replaced with copper bent or formed to match the existing, original, appearance all later non-original flashings and gutters shall be removed and replaced with a design (in copper) consistent with the designers understanding of the appearance of the original All new copper flashings, gutters and ornament shall be based upon standards set by the following: “architectural Sheet Metal Manual” by SMACNA “Copper and Common Sense” by Revere Copper and Brass COPPER: for use on all roofs, gutters and any flashings +10'-0" to 15'-0" above grade, + Meet ASTM B 370 Not be less than 2002 / sat.
