PlanningBoard | 2008-08-11 | 17 | President Kohlstrand stated that the second resolution has to do with approving the planned development amendment and major design review for redevelopment and expansion at the Alameda Town Centre. This includes the overall size of the project, the addition of a parking garage, redevelopment of the shoreline area and the existing medical offices adjacent to Office Depot, and addition of other infrastructure improvements. She suggested the Board address the outdoor activities and signage and infrastructure improvements before addressing the expansion. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft suggested the Board address the size issue first because public comments are fresh. Board member Lynch stated he does not see the Board getting through the entire discussion tonight. The resolution is written such that the Board must approve the project in its entirety. President Kohlstrand stated the Board would probably not get through the entire expansion discussion by 11:30. She suggested starting the discussionon with the other issues. Board member Cunningham stated the Board could approve portions of the application and return to any other elements. Staff stated the Board could consider taking a vote on aspects of the project where there are no concerns, and then focus on the major issue of expansion. Board member Lynch stated that people would be okay with biking pedestrian signage issues. He inquired how the Board could reopen the issue for public discussion. A Board discussion ensued regarding Board member Lynch's question. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft suggested the Board use the remaining time for discussion on this project. Staff stated that the sign program is time sensitive for the applicant. Board member Lynch inquired how could the Board break apart a resolution that has been noticed to the public. Assistant City Attorney stated that the Board could consider a motion as long as the same findings are in the resolution. President Kohlstrand requested that the Assistant City Attorney assist with the correct language when the Board is at the point of crafting a resolution. She then asked if the Board had any concerns regarding the signage program. President Kohlstrand states she had one issue. She believed the signing is marvelous, Page 17 of 21 | PlanningBoard/2008-08-11.pdf |
