HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2016-01-07 | 3 | Joe Ernst, project applicant, explained that the berm would be engineered to be able to be built up higher if that became necessary. Chair Owens asked if the city was working on addressing sea level rise throughout the island which would be necessary for this area's defenses to be functional. Staff Member Thomas highlighted the importance of the issue for the city and different elements of various planning efforts that are attempting to address the issue in a piecemeal fashion. Board Member Vella asked if the city has been working with the Port of Oakland on protecting shared areas along the estuary. Staff Member Thomas explained the discussions with the Port on how they can work together to access funds to help address the issue. Chair Owens asked what would be done with the large amount of concrete removed from the taxiway. Ms. Phillips explained their desire to reuse as much as possible on the site with creative elements. She said it will be part of their waste management plan. Board Member Vella asked how the sewage line removal and upgrades would affect storm water drainage for the rest of the point. Mr. Ernst explained the upgrades in size and the flap gates that would be added to try and address problems that have been happening. Steve Israel, BAR Architects, gave the Block 11 portion of the presentation. Vice-Chair Rauk asked how drivers would know which side of the road to drive on. Mr. Ernst explained the feedback that Planning Board has given to make sure the space indicates that it is shared by all users and not to favor drivers with too many visual cues. Chair Owens asked if the city would be the owner of the road. Staff Member Thomas explained that it would be a city owned street and that many people are looking at it to make sure they get it right. He said it would be unlike anything else in the city. Historical Advisory Board Page 3 of 5 Approved Minutes January 7, 2016 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2016-01-07.pdf |
