PlanningBoard | 2009-04-27 | 9 | Staff explained that the landscaping as approved in 2003 has been slightly changed by excluding trees in the subsequent site layout. President Kohlstrand temporarily closed the discussion session to continue to the next agenda item 9D. President Kohlstrand reopened the discussion on how the Planning Board should address the discrepancy between the total square footage in the different submittals. The Planning Board agreed that permitted uses for the waterfront buildings 1800 A&B should be limited to sit-down restaurants and waterfront recreation, and conditionally permit other uses, excluding drive-through facilities. The Planning Board agreed that the site design for buildings 1800 A& B needs to be waterfront- and pedestrian-oriented, with a clear connection to the shopping center through a pedestrian promenade. The design review of any new or rehabilitated waterfront buildings in Phase Il shall be brought to the Planning Board for review. Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft moved/ Board member Lynch seconded to continue the meeting and discussion of 9-C past 11:30 pm. Motion passed 7-0. The Planning Board members came to the conclusion that the landscaping and parking configuration in the center is agreeable. The Planning Board discussed whether the sidewalk along Park Street between Shoreline Drive and Otis should be widened from three feet to five feet upon Alameda Towne Centre. They concluded that the nexus was given between widening the sidewalk and the development of the site. Board member Autorino motioned/ Board member Cunningham seconded the motion to approve the resolution for the Planned Development Amendment as amended. Motion passed 6-1-0. Board member Cook was concerned that the increase in square footage in the center decreased the possibility to include more pedestrian and bike access routes.
