GET THE FACTSON REDEVELOPMENT OF THE MCMILLAN SAND FILTRATION SITE

FtcTtoN: vtstoN McM|LLAN PARTNERS',(VMP) PLANS ARE TOO DENSE AND DO NOT PROTECT OPENSPACE THATWAS WAS ONCE A PARK

FACTS:r VMP's plan createsthree parks, including an expansive 6.25-acre centralparkwith a communitycenterand

pool. lf you add in the South Service Court and other public gathering places, there will be a total of rz acres ofnew, public, open and green space. Specifically, of the 3% block site, the majority - almost z blocks - will beopen and green space distributed throughout the site.

r World-renowned landscape architects Nelson Byrd Woltz will design the public green space. They are famousfor their work with urban parks, have garnered over Bo national and regional awards and have been featured inmany national and international publications. This community will soon have one of the largest and best-designed parks not only in the District, but also in the region and in the country.

o While there was once a small park on the federal side of the McMillan site (nearthe reservoir, on the west sideof First Street), the McMillan land that VMP is redeveloping was never a park. Historically, it was a workingindustrial site with manholes dotting the landscape every few feet, providing access for workers to theunderground cells. ln order to deliver water to the city, the site was in use all day and night, cleaning andpumping water.

o When the McMillan Sand Filtration Plant first opened, Olmstead, Jr. was commissioned to design a walkingpath around it that would offer residents a view without disturbing the daily work of the site. This Olmstead

Walkisbeing restored as partof the plan andwillsurroundthe entire redevelopment/ connectingthe parksandopen spaces, providing engaging access and offering tremendous views of both the site and surroundinglandmarks. Every step of the walk will be publicly accessible and maintained. Finally, the fences on the site willbe down, and there will be a park for residents to use and enjoy.

FICTION: VMP PLANS REPRESENT A NOTABLE DESTRUCTION OF THE HISTORIC FABRIC OF THE SITE.ALL OF THE CELLS WILL BE DEMOLISHED, ALONG WITH THE WALLS FRAMING THE COURTSAND MANY OF THE SILOS

FACTS:. The very foundation of the VMP plan is a $zz million preservation program that will create exemplary design

compatible with this historic landmark.

. The majority of the above grade structures will be preserved. Every silo, every regulator house, every washerand every basin will be preserved and the historic courts will be maintained with special pavers.

. While the plan includes repurposing of underground cells, it is not feasible to place grocery retail inside thechambers or use the underground cells for foundation. Not only have retailers expressed opposition to the ideaof an underground location here from a sales perspective, but the cost of making the cells safe enough for thistype of use alone would make rental rates prohibitive for community and retail uses alike.

. Two underground cells (each the size of a football field) will be preserved, and the current plan includesrepurposing Cell r4 for retail use. Cell zB will be preserved to view through the community center, as part of the

planned memorialization. The park will incorporate many features of a "cell with the lid off" as way of furtherusing the unique structures of the site.

The VMP plan incorporates water as a theme related to the history of the site. For example, the historicfountain currently located on the federal site will be relocated to the site. There will be spray grounds forchildren, a 25-meter pool inside the community center, a bio pond for water management and water featuresincorporating the historic silos. There will also be historical memorialization, including community-planned andexecuted self-tours.

The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), in a unanimous vote found that VMP's revised master plan"has been developed to retain important character-defining features of the site sufficient to convey its historiccha racte ristics."

FICTION: NEW BUIDLINGS WILL BE LARGE AND DISPROPORTIONATE

FACTS:r Buildings will increase in size to the north west of the site, while eastern and southern sides of the plan will step

down to work with the scale of existing neighborhoods.

o Two thirds of the total area of the site will be open and green space. The remaining one third of the site willinclude local serving retail with a premium grocery store anchor, restaurants, community and cultural space.There will also be housing and offices on site.

r VMP's plan will result in 3,2oo new, permanent jobs,3,ooo construction jobs and generate sr.z billion in newtaxrevenues. 35% of the local contracting opportunities are required to go to certified local, small anddisadvantaged businesses and more than half of alljobs created must be offered to District residents.

FICTION: THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD REJECTED VMP PLANS

FACTS:o On October 3r", 2or3, the HPRB voted unanimously that VMP's revised master plan and design concepts

satisfied their requirements. Because they cannot vote on demolition, they referred the project to the Mayor'sAgent. The project now moves forward to the Mayor's Agent and Zoning Commission for additional approvals.

FICTION: THERE WAS NO PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM. VMP WAS THE SOLEBIDDER ON MCMILLAN.

FACTS:

. ln zoo6, the National Capital Revitalization Corporation (NCRC) issued an RFO to select a development partnerfor the McMillan site. The selection process spanned several months and included several community meetingsand communityvotes. The initial process was conducted by Mayor Fenty, signed offon by MAG leaders andlater evaluated and held up by Mayor Gray.

. The eventual five bidders were judged on their land development capabilities, vertical development capabilitiesand financial capacity. Community members attended tours of the vertical development projects for all fivebidders. ln July zoo7, Vision McMillan Partners was selected fromamong the five bidders by the NCRC becauseof their collective experience with complex redevelopment projects that present a number of overlappingpriorities such as historic preservation and open space.
