PlanningBoard | 2007-05-29 | 11 | Acting President Cook did not believe the wind turbine issue should be decided at this time because it was a major issue. Mr. Thomas understood that Clif Bar and Catellus were still working out the details on the wind turbine system, and noted that the Planning Board could condition this item so the turbines come back for approval with more details and information. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that she liked the graphics on the parking shed, as well as the red door. She inquired whether there would be bike racks in the parking garage; Ms. Goodman confirmed that there would be bike racks, and that they had not been drawn in yet. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft wanted to ensure that energy would come from clean resources. Ms. Berg noted that they had extensive conversations about telling the stories of how various projects, such as the wind turbines, contribute to green power. She noted that this could be done through interpretive signage, or simply through the observation of the feature itself. Acting President Cook wanted to ensure there would be sufficient parking not only for the employees, but also for any members of the public who would visit the site. Mr. Thomas confirmed there would be sufficient parking, and added that they had made an effort to put in much more parking than Clif Bar needed, even when it expanded. Acting President Cook wanted to ensure the parking in the shed was well-lit, and that it would feel safe. Ms. Goodman replied that they intended to light it well, as well as install CCTV cameras. She noted that the parking garage will be open 24 hours a day. Mr. Engelhart noted that using the shared parking concept, the restaurants would use the parking as well during non-office hours. Acting President Cook emphasized that security would be a priority in the garage. In response to an inquiry by Acting President Cook, Mr. Engelhart noted that the Master Plan included a provision that there will always be a waterfront restaurant use on-site, although the restaurant use was not controlled by the development; it was a tenant request. Mr. Thomas noted that the design review for the waterfront plaza, the design review and development plan for the waterfront retail, as well as the configuration of the design. In response to an inquiry by Acting President Cook regarding the difference in language between the staff report and the resolution, Ms. Mooney noted that the Planning Board should focus on the language in the resolution and the findings. She added that there were some findings listed in the staff report that did not appear in the resolution, and that the Board did not have to address.
