PlanningBoard | 2007-11-26 | 10 | Mr. Thomas noted that an alternative motion may be made. Member Ezzy Ashcraft suggested continuing the discussion. Member Lynch believed the Board members were clear in their opinions, but would like to hear from the applicant further. Member Mariani agreed with Member Lynch. Mr. Berry noted that they needed a positive decision at this meeting, and noted that they had a very tight schedule. They had one more approval with City Council on December 4, 2007. He noted that they were extremely sensitive to the parking ratios, and that they were trying to enliven the edge along Fifth Street; he added that they would try to get the maximum number of restaurants along the end caps. He noted that restaurants had a higher demand for parking than other retailers. He added that they would do everything they could to make this project work. Mr. Steve Kendrick, LPA, displayed the changes, and noted that they retained the concept of the continuous island along the east/west drive aisle, but to provide head-in parking, moving the drive aisle back to keep the circulation within the parking pod. Vice President Kohlstrand noted that she would probably not support this application, but she believed it was important to the applicant to make a decision. Member Cunningham moved to approve the consensus plan as currently captured on the overhead screen, with the parking field in front of Building A modified with a sidewalk as proposed by Catellus in the Compromise Plan and with the parking field in front of Building th B modified with continuous sidewalks as shown in the Planning Board's September 24 approved plan. Member Lynch seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 5. Noes - 2 (Kohlstrand, McNamara). The motion passed. 12.
