With respect to the exterior design, Mr. Kirk Peterson, Peterson & Associates Architects, noted that they looked at many designs, and wished they could have had more parking. He noted that this block did not have the typical charm of Alameda, and noted that he tried to follow the 19th century models for their simplicity. HardiPlank siding, corner details, double-hung windows and leaves were used to follow that design palette. Member Ezzy Ashcraft respected the historical aspect of the buildings and wanted to see the project noted that the City moved forward as well. Member Mariani liked the simplicity of the design when surrounded by the commercial clutter. Member Kohlstrand believed the existing courtyard developments in Alameda were more attractive, but she accepted the fact that 16 off-street parking spaces must be provided. She believed the design should be accepted as presented. Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that it would be preferable not to look at the development from the street and see rows of parked cars have a row of cars parked on the street if possible. President Lynch was confident in the designers' capabilities, and believed that they addressed as many design features as possible before adding the City's requirements.
