The Supervising Planner stated that the Homeowners Association would cover all maintenance, including the path. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she dislikes the third story pop- upsi she appreciates Mr. Rutter's and Mr. Buckley's research; she prefers the Murano project roofline; the Planning Board does not like slider windows in developments; windows that have dividers between two slabs of glass do not provide the detail and definition for the project's caliber; she would like to add a condition that would require windows to have dividers raised outside of the glass. Councilmember Matarrese concurred with Councilmember Gilmore; stated that he does not see the need for the east/west paseo that cuts from the alleyway through Hibbard Street to the parkway; every house could be considered waterfront property; the market rate and affordable houses are dispersed; the development is better than previous developments; staff could work with the Applicant on the third floor design; the existing asphalt path does not touch the Marina Cove development because of the wooden dock; the paseo condition is not needed as long as the asphalt is maintained and matches the proposed treatments in the round areas at the foot of Hibbard Street. Councilmember Gilmore concurred with Councilmember Matarrese; stated she wants to ensure that there is consistent width; the path narrows at certain points; she is concerned with pedestrian safety.
