PlanningBoard | 2007-10-22 | 10 | 10-A. Appointment of a Planning Board Member to assist in the selection of a consultant for the North of Lincoln Strategic Plan for the Park Street Business District. Member Mariani suggested that Member McNamara be involved in the selection. Member McNamara replied that she would not be able to perform this duty during the day. Member Ezzy Ashcraft volunteered to assist in the selection of the consultant. Member Cunningham moved to nominate Member Ezzy Ashcraft to assist in the selection of a consultant for the North of Lincoln Strategic Plan for the Park Street Business District. Member McNamara seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 6. Absent: 1 (Kohlstrand). The motion passed. Mr. Thomas noted that the Planning Board had a plan at the dais that Catellus wanted the Planning Board to approve on September 24, and noted that Attachment 3 had been approved. He described the drawings on the document and stated that as part of Catellus's appeals included a compromise plan. That plan included a sidewalk running along the edge of the parking lot; he displayed that proposal to the Board. Member Mariani did not care for that at first look, and did not want Catellus to sidestep the Planning Board. Mr. Thomas described the tree well, surrounded by the curb, and bisected by the sidewalk at the same level. In response to an inquiry by President Cook whether the City had a definition for a sidewalk, Mr. Thomas replied that it did not, but that a sidewalk must be five feet wide. The City Council may uphold the Planning Board's decision, overturn that decision, or remand it back to the Planning Board. Member Mariani was concerned that Catellus was not honoring the Planning Board's process, and had noted a difference in how the new person handled the interaction. 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: None. 12. ADJOURNMENT: 10:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Page 10 of 11 | PlanningBoard/2007-10-22.pdf |
