PlanningBoard | 2010-06-21 | 6 | Board Member Kohlstrand asked what traffic control measure would be used at Blanding Avenue and Oak Street. The Planning Services Manager stated that the traffic would likely be controlled by a four- way stop sign intersection, but that staff was still working on that aspect of the project with the applicant. President Ezzy Ashcraft reiterated her concern for the safety of pedestrians and encouraged installation of well-marked cross-walks. Board Member Kohlstrand motioned to adopt the resolution recommending certification of the EIR, seconded by Vice-President Autorino. Motion passes 4-0. Vice-President Autorino motioned to recommend adoption of the General Plan Amendment to the City Council, seconded by Board Member Zuppan. Motion passes 4-0. Board Member Zuppan motioned to recommend adoption of the Zoning Amendment to the City Council, seconded by Board Member Kohlstrand. Motion passes 4-0. Vice-President Autorino preferred that the loop of the road accessing the waterfront be redirected. Board Member Kohlstrand preferred that parking be retained along Oak Street. She recommended that condition numbers 4 and 7 in the proposed resolution be eliminated. She also recommended that the developer include some housing units that have a single floor, as opposed to all the units being town houses with multiple floors of living space. Board Member Zuppan emphasized that the open space needs to be attractively landscaped and that the Bay Trail needs to be extended. President Ezzy Ashcraft prefers the pedestrian walkway along Oak Street instead of additional parking at that location. She supports the multi-family concept and would like to see a diversity in the height of buildings throughout this development. Board Member Kohlstrand commended the new design and the applicant's ability to work with the Board's and the publics' comments. The Planning Services Manager summarized the amendments to the conditions of approval contained in the resolution. Board Member Kohlstrand motioned adopt the resolution endorsing the reduced density alternative subject to the amendments to the conditions summarized by the Planning Services Manager, seconded by Board Member Zuppan.
