Minutes for the meeting of June 25, 2007. Board member Cunningham noted that page 7, paragraph 4, should be changed to read, "Board member Cunningham noted that the activation of the Fifth Street and both sides of the waterfront-had been executed very well. He noted that on the public parking side, the main service corridor included trash receptacles and questioned the option to increase total GLA to include retail frontage onto the parking lot." Board member Cunningham noted that page 7, paragraph 7, should be changed to read, "Board member Cunningham reflected on past experience of the Bridgeside Center, and did not believe that the goals of the Bridgeside Center were able to be achieved in terms of the tenant spaces." Board member Cunningham noted that page 11, paragraph 5, read, "Board member Cunningham believed the wood trusses were a good idea, and suggested burying them halfway into the ground to allow them to stand up." He noted that he had tried to reference the point that the Board should look at how they worked structurally, so they could stand up without having to bury them halfway into the ground. Vice President Cook noted that page 10, paragraph 2, should be changed to read, "Vice President Cook would like the public right of way to include ise-the sidewalks. " Board member Kohlstrand noted that page 12, paragraph 4, read, "A discussion of the site circulation, paseos and the gateway entrance ensued." She believed that lengthy discussion addressed the establishment of public streets in this development, as opposed to just having driveways. She requested that the minutes reflect the discussion addressing public versus private streets, as well as the tradeoffs between parking and establishing public roads with sidewalks on both sides. She also believed that the Planning Board had specifically asked for the developer to return with one to three options for the sidewalks. She believed that one option was examining a full public street on the north-south roadway, and that another one was redoing it slightly and establishing sidewalks on both sides.
