Electrical Capacity

Despite increasing the unit count from 67 to 75 units, the overall building square footage is reduced
creating an opportunity for a more efficient energy design and thereby reducing the building's
proposed load from 1.62MVA in the original design to 1.20MVA, which only increases the load on the
existing NYSEG/RGE 12.5kV circuit from 46.89% to 56.10%.

Summary

Below is a table summarizing the proposed impacts of the revised site layout in relation to the
original design. Categories are based on previous areas of concern as identified by the Town Board.

  Design Element  Proposed Impact
  Building Location  Improved
  ADA Accessibility  Improved
  Preservation of Open Space / Existing Vegetation  Improved
  Shelter-In-Place Accommodations  Improved
