PlanningBoard | 2005-03-28 | 10 | PRELIMINARY DRAFT Subject to modification prior to approval by Planning Board In response to Vice President Cook's inquiry, Mr. Stanton described the exit paths of the garage. In response to an inquiry by Vice President Cook regarding the future of the parking garage if the Cineplex could not be built, Ms. Soto replied that it would proceed regardless of the Cineplex's future. It had always been the City's intention to build a downtown parking garage. In response to an inquiry by Vice President Cook regarding the landscaping maintenance, Ms. Ott replied that the City would maintain the landscaping because this is a public project. Ms. Ott replied to Mr. Frederick's question regarding the exit through the cinema to the sidewalk, and stated that was an emergency exit not open to the public. Ms. Mariani expressed concern that the feedback from the HAB would not leave enough time to make substantive changes, if needed. Ms. Soto noted that it was the City's goal to have the final design approved on April 11, in order to include it in the RFP package for the contractor. Mr. Stanton noted that when the design comes back to the Planning Board on April 11, he could include the package that would go to the contractors in the meeting package. President Cunningham noted that the Board had been very concerned about the parking structure's appearance, and would not like to compromise the finer details by fast-tracking the process. Ms. Altschuler noted that a member of the Planning Board may be part of the oversight team if so desired. President Cunningham noted that he would be willing to serve in that capacity. Ms. Altschuler noted that the comments from the HAB will be provided to the Board on April 11. Vice President Cook requested the HAB's comments before the weekend of April 9 in order to review them. Ms. Altschuler noted that she would make every effort to do so, and invited the Board members to attend the HAB meeting on Thursday, April 7, 7-10 p.m. She added that the meeting would not be televised. Ms. Mariani supported the idea of a glazed elevator, for safety and aesthetic purposes. She also favored the use of movie posters as described by Mr. Ratto.
