PlanningBoard | 2008-02-11 | 3 | Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 7, paragraph 5, should be changed to read, "She supported people being able to improve their properties, and believed there should be some reward for undertaking a project such as this." President Cook noted that with respect to the language at the top of page 7, "President Cook suggested that the dividing line between a boat house and an actual dwelling " she had intended to state that the boat house in this case was larger than many dwellings in Alameda, and so perhaps the square footage should be examined more carefully. She noted there was a fine line between a boat house and a residence. President Cook noted that the language halfway down page 8 should be changed to read, "She believed the issue of height was more critical than the number of floors, and it occurred to the applicants to stay within the height limits". In addition, the following change should be made, "She noted that the issues of density and the public right to the waterfront were important issues to be looked at if Zoning Code amendments are considered." Board member Cunningham moved to adopt the minutes for December 10, 2007, as amended. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 4. Noes: 0 Absent: 0; Abstain - 2 (Lynch, McNamara). The motion passed. 5. AGENDA CHANGES AND DISCUSSION: President Cook noted that a request had been received to remove Item 8-A from the Consent Calendar and place it on the Regular Agenda. She noted that two requests to go first had also been received. She suggested that the items be heard in the following order: 9-B, 9-A, 8-A, and that Staff Communications be heard at the end of the meeting. 9. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 9-B. Broadway/Jackson Phase II. A presentation and update on work being completed by the City of Alameda, City of Oakland, California Department of Transportation, and Alameda County Transportation Improvement Agency (ACTIA) to improve automobile, transit, and pedestrian connections and mobility between the Webster and Posey Tubes and the I-880 Freeway. Barbara Hawkins, Alameda Public Works Department, will make the presentation. The Planning Board will take no action on this item at this meeting. This presentation is for informational purposes only. (AT/BH) Vice President Kohlstrand noted that she would recuse herself from this item because the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority was one of her clients, and her business partner worked on this project. She stepped down from the dais. Ms. Barbara Hawkins, City Engineer, summarized the staff report, and displayed the various options on the overhead screen. The public hearing was opened.
