PlanningBoard | 2008-07-14 | 12 | A discussion between the Board and the applicant ensured regarding the expansion and parking. Board member Cunningham would prefer a more prudent approach toward the expansion and have it proceed incrementally. He expressed reservations about approving a document that would allow construction of the parking structure and an additional second level over Kohls. He also expressed concerns regarding the development at the waterfront. He would prefer a conservative approach to the development process and would like to understand what the current entitled expansion, potential congestion, and impacts are. A discussion ensued between the Board and staff regarding the total square footage of the center and the build out with the expansion. Staff explained that 706,000 sf is the cap. The building on the plans shows a 10,000 sf building on the waterfront if it comes in at 12,500, 25% larger, it could still be approved without going through a PDA as long as the overall size of all the footprints together are still within the 706,000 total. President Cook noted that the Board had two decisions to make, certify the EIR and approve the project. Staff stated that one resolution and one master plan were being requested for this site so everything can be in one document. Board member McNamara moved to continue the item to the August 11 meeting. Board member Lynch seconded the motion. President Cook stated she would be unable to attend the meeting of August 11 but would submit written comments to staff for submission to the Board. A discussion between the Board and staff ensued regarding significant impacts, mitigation measures, monitoring, and the public notification process. The motion passed with the following voice vote - 6. Noes:1, Absent: 0. Abstain: 0. The item was continued to August 11. 9-E.
