PlanningBoard | 2005-06-13 | 17 | Mr. Bill Woodle spoke in opposition to this item, and noted that he had also circulated a petition against this design. He had also heard from people who supported a large Cineplex, and had been called a "Nimby" by one person. Ms. Linda Hanson, 1816 Wood Street, spoke in opposition to this item, and believed that the design as published in the newspaper wad presented as a fait accompli. She noted that hundreds of people had signed the petition, asking that the project be put on hold. She believed the scale and design conflicted with the unique historic character of Alameda, and that traffic would be impacted. She was concerned that there was no open area for people to gather, and that it ignored the green building principles. She believed that this design was more reminiscent of Fisherman's Wharf, and was not convinced that it would be financially successful. She urged the Planning Board and City Council to reconsider this project. Planning Board Minutes Page 17 June 13, 2005 | PlanningBoard/2005-06-13.pdf |
