PlanningBoard | 2008-07-14 | 6 | Vice President Kohlstrand responded that the deck could go over three feet on the west side only. Board member Autorino stated there was still the issue with the 30 inches and the screening and asked if a deck of any size would still require privacy screening. President Cook stated that privacy screening is required. She suggested the applicants decide, before a motion is voted upon, whether they would like to revise the proposal and return to a future board meeting for review. The applicants responded that if bringing the deck in two feet from the side where the apartment buildings are would result in project approval, they would agree to that. They stated their understanding that as long as it remains five feet away from the neighboring buildings, they can build the deck without a variance, but they would still prefer three feet on the other side. Vice President Kohlstrand moved and Board member Cunningham seconded the motion to approve design review, make the findings for the ground floor 24-foot variance and exceptional circumstances. The circumstance is depriving the applicant of the right enjoyed by others and will not create any detriment on the ground floor. Approve a variance for an upstairs deck that can encroach three feet on one side but must maintain the five feet on the side of the apartment building. The motion passed with the following voice vote - 7. Noes: 0 Absent: 0 Abstain: 0. The motion passed. Board member Cunningham moved and Board member Lynch seconded the motion to waive the privacy screen. The motion passed with the following voice vote - 7. Noes: 0 Absent: 0 Abstain: 0. 9-C. Major Design Review Approval - PLN08-0090 - 2230 South Shore Center (Building 1000, former Safeway Building). Proposed renovation of an existing building located at the Alameda Towne Centre. The building footprint will increase by approximately 1,575 square feet, and the average building height will increase to 30 feet, with decorative parapets at the east side of the building, at 35 feet in height. Loading docks will be relocated to the north side of the building. The proposed tenant, Orchard Supply Hardware, also proposes an outdoor garden supply area. Exterior materials include horizontal wood siding; concrete panels at the base of walls and cement plaster trim. The project also includes wooden trellises, new landscaping, and bicycle and pedestrian amenities. (DG) Mr. Garrison presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the project. President Cook inquired if this building was included in 2003 when the Board approved phases of the project. Staff responded that the Board did not approve a 90,000 sf building proposed for the site in 2003. The environmental document for the project was approved, but not expansion of the building. Under the existing PDA, some increase in floor area is allowed during renovation, and the Alameda Municipal Code (AMC) allows for 25% expansion.
