Mr. Behan did not have information on the life safety issue, and noted that there were two options for the guardrail. He noted that it was not uncommon to see the horizontal rail, and that a nonclimbable mesh could also be used. They would like to stay away from the Victorian-era rails, which became ornamental and would be out of character and nontransparent. Mr. Thomas suggested that those elements be brought back with the Phase I design review for the promenade. In response to an inquiry by Board member Kohlstrand, Mr. Behan described and displayed the access to the floating docks. A discussion of the floating dock ensued. Board member Mariani noted that she was extremely pleased with the plan, and she looked forward to seeing more details at the next hearing. Acting President Cook noted that she was very happy with the simplicity of the plan, and would like the applicant to keep the notion of guest docks on mind so people could sail to a destination to access restaurants. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft moved to adopt Planning Board Resolution No. 07-18 to approve the Waterfront Promenade Development Plan. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 6. Absent: 1 (Lynch). The motion passed. Regarding the Clif Bar design review proposal, Board member Mariani did not like the parking sign because it did not blend with the aesthetics of the restored warehouse. She inquired whether the Clif Bar doors would be red in the final design. Ms. Goodman noted that the area was vast, and a great deal of signage would be required to direct people into the parking garage. They believed that the large sign would be the easiest way to accomplish that, and she added that the orange door may end up being white in the final design. Board member Cunningham noted that he liked the supergraphics associated with the garage, and may support making them bigger. He suggested the wording on the sign just say "Parking" rather than "Parking Garage." He inquired whether there was any consideration of harvesting gray water from the very large roof. Ms. Goodman noted that they had not explored that option, but that solar panels would be explored. Planning Board Minutes Page 9 May 29, 2007 | PlanningBoard/2007-05-29.pdf |
