This will then allow for more immediate work on\nirrigation, drainage and sand capping and grassing. The objective is to attempt to\nlessen the overall impact from the past, and possible future rains and therefore allow\nplayers a better opportunity to enjoy a fully remodeled golf course in an overall shorter\ntime frame.\nAmy Wooldridge stated that the City Attorney determined that this step would need to\nbe approved by City Council as the lease states that nine holes need to remain open\nat all times.\nCommissioner Carlson made a motion to approve and Commissioner Loud seconded\nthe motion to approve the closure of the remaining holes. The motion passed\nunanimously.\n5-B\nCorica Park Junior Golf Presentation by Greenway Golf\nKen Campbell stated that Corica Park, in addition to the junior golf program, offers\njunior camps, with assistance from Eric Jones Golf and his instructor.

The top layer of material was added to 3 of the holes\nbut due to rain work was stopped and the adhesive bond couldn't be applied. Plans to\nrestart the project have been delayed due to ongoing schedule of golf events. Two\nconsecutive weekdays, and dry weather, are needed to reschedule the crew and to\ncomplete the required work. Will be watching weather and events to see when this\nproject can be completed.\nParagolfer Mobility Device - The new mobility cart called Paragolfer has arrived. Key\nstaff recently completed orientation and training on this new all-terrain three-wheeled\ncart designed for disabled golfers. The paragolfer will now be available for use on the\nSouth, par 3 or range.\nAlameda Stand Up & Play Chapter - Stuart James of the Alameda Center for\nIndependent Living has agreed to Chair the new Alameda chapter of \"Stand Up and\nPlay\". The mission of this new nonprofit organization will be to raise funds to purchase\nadditional mobility carts and to promote golf at Corica Park for wheelchair users and\nothers with impaired mobility.\nPartnership on Retail Shop/LinkSoul -LinkSoul and Greenway have agreed to modify\nthe retail partnership, and to have Greenway resume the shop retail management\neffective January 1, 2020. LinkSoul and Greenway have enjoyed a very good\nrelationship and proud to have developed a shop unlike others with lifestyle offerings\nand unique fixtures. This decision was mutual between the parties as we all believed it\nis best for Corica Park to further expand the price points and offerings, which moving\nforward will include additional brands like Travis Mathews, Nike, Imperial, Under\nArmour and others. LinkSoul will continue to be a featured apparel partner. Apparel\ninventories will be lower for the first few slower months of year while plans to restock\nare in place for spring.\nOn Course Restrooms - The restroom on the_13th hole has been moved to hole #15\ndue to a request from the Alameda Women's Golf Club. This took several weeks as an\narea had to be modified some to accommodate as the restroom requires access by a\ntruck which limits options on its location.\nNew Point of Sale System - Plans are being finalized for a change in the Club's point\nof sale system. The new system is designed to allow faster check-ins as well as self-\nkiosk check-in and has features that allow players to more easily pair up when making\nonline bookings and to better track their history to offer rewards. Implementation\nschedule is not yet set but expected to be around the first of year.\n3\nGolf Commission Minutes - Tuesday, November 12, 2019", "path": "GolfCommission/2019-11-12.pdf"}

He said they were careful to not repeat designs next to each other and varied\ncolor schemes as well.\nBoard Member Hom asked if the Landing units would have a different stucco treatment on\nthe ground floor, and how would the backlit panels work.\nMr. Hilk said they will use mostly stone on the front of the ground floor.\nThe project architect explained how the screening and ground floor panels would look and\nactivate the first floor. She said the screens would be aluminum or Cortan with powder\ncoating and resistant to corrosion.\nThere was a discussion to clarify that all the windows in the Landing units would be white\nand some would have dark trim.\nThere were no public speakers.\nBoard Member Teague said he appreciates the changes made. He said the lack of cornice\non the Compass product is actually a feature and he would not support changing that part\nof the design. He said he supported staff's recommendation to wrap the stone around the\nbuilding. He said he would support the Breeze as is, or would gladly support some\nimprovements in the relatively plain design. He said the Landing would look odd with an\nadditional cornice element. He said he did not like the windows in the stairwell because\nthey do not match the rest of the building.\nBoard Member Cavanaugh said one of the single family home designs looked like a\nwooden structure placed on top of a stucco building. He said it looks out of place. He said\notherwise the project looks great.\nBoard Member Ruiz thanked the applicant for incorporating the Board's feedback from the\nlast round of comments. She said the third floor of the flat roofed single family home\nneeded some improvements to make the proportions work. She suggested that changing\nthe bottom floor of the unit Board Member Cavanaugh had concerns about to horizontal\nsiding may solve some of the design compatibility issues.\nBoard Member Hom said he was neutral about adding a cornice to the Compass units. He\nsaid he would like the top element to be something more than aluminum flashing. He said\nhe is not sure if the addition of a flat roof option for the single family homes is an\nApproved Planning Board Minutes\nPage 2 of 5\nNovember 12, 2019", "path": "PlanningBoard/2019-11-12.pdf"}

He said it is nice to have a third option, but that the multifamily units all have\nflat roofs and the single family homes with pitched roofs are a nice change from the rest\nof the project.\nBoard Member Rothenberg said she agreed with Board Members Hom and Teague\nregarding the design elements. She said the Breeze variations are acceptable to her. She\nasked for more information about how the fire access dictated placement of the flat topped\nBreeze units.\nMr. Hilk explained that the flat roof parapet was higher than the fire department's ground\nladders can reach, which means they cannot be placed on the interior, narrower streets.\nBoard Member Saheba said there are too many different materials being used on each of\nthe Breeze units. He suggested using one material for each building to make the design\nmore cohesive and allow different units to provide the variation.\nPresident Curtis asked how to give positive direction for the developer when there is varied\nfeedback from this study session. He asked if the Board should vote on each item.\nAllen Tai, City Planner, asked the Board to discuss some of the items in more detail to get\nclearer direction for the applicant.\nPresident Curtis asked the Board Members to weigh in on Board Member Saheba's\ncomments regarding the Breeze units and whether the design was too busy.\nBoard Member Ruiz said that she is okay with the units having a datum line because of\ntheir three story size. She said she is neutral on design 2A. She said the middle design is\ntoo busy and that plan 2B has proportionality issues.\nBoard Member Hom said he agrees that the three Breeze units do appear a little busy. He\nsaid he liked the idea of simplifying the design.\nBoard Member Rothenberg said the architectural features should make sense.\nBoard Member Teague noted that two of the Breeze designs had consistent features on\nthe first two floors, but the middle design had three distinct floors, which he said could be\nsimplified.\nBoard Member Cavanaugh said taking the top level of the middle design and placing it on\nthe unit on the right would clean up that design.\nPresident Curtis asked if any of the designs would hold up approval of the project.\nApproved Planning Board Minutes\nPage 3 of 5\nNovember 12, 2019", "path": "PlanningBoard/2019-11-12.pdf"}
