PlanningBoard | 2005-05-23 | 6 | President Cunningham did not want the lifts to be used all over the City as an unintended consequence. Ms. Kohlstrand noted that she would normally prefer continuous store frontage, but she would accept a driveway through the building. She agreed that the design was very nice, and was a positive mixed- use proposal. Mr. Piziali noted that he would not object to stacked parking if it were inside a structure elsewhere in the City. Mr. Lynch would be willing to entertain the Variance that reflects the withdrawal of the lift, and those funds being placed into the City in-lieu fund. Ms. Harryman suggested that the Board give direction to staff as to what it would like to see, and continue the item to the next meeting so it may be placed on the Consent Calendar. At Vice President Cook's request, Mr. Tai summarized the changes in the design. President Cunningham suggested that taller landscaping be planted in the back, instead of the boxwood. She noted that several other buildings had a view to the back of the site. Ms. McNamara expressed concern about the architectural design of this building that seemed to have been designed without regard for the adjacent building. President Cunningham noted that the trashcans as illustrated were shown to be half the size of real trash cans, and suggested that the space under the stairs be used to house the trash containers. Ms. Eliason summarized the Board's direction: a Variance for six spaces rather than providing the stacked units and payment of an in lieu. Four parking spaces would be for the residential units, and would be dedicated for residential use. Mr. Tai noted that there may be required handicapped accessible spaces for the commercial spaces, and added that two spaces each may be for the residential units; the remaining two spaces may be devoted to handicapped accessible parking for the commercial use. M/S Cook/Piziali and unanimous to continue this item to the Planning Board meeting of June 13, 2005.
