PlanningBoard | 2011-02-28 | 6 | proposing 4,500 square feet of lab space employing 800 people in the first phase. The proposal requested documentation of Community backing for the project so the City is putting together resolutions in support of the project from different Boards and Commissions. Board member Kohlstrand asked if it is going to be an open campus or a closed one. Mr. Thomas stated that it will be an open campus. Vice President Autorino asked what the possible problems with the proposal are. Mr. Thomas stated that the City is hoping to get short listed at which time other possible stumbling blocks could be addressed. The proposal asked that the new site be within 25 miles distance from the gate of their main campus which could be an issue as the proposed site is very close to that limit. Another concern is acquiring the land from the Navy and the lack of infrastructure and amenities currently at and around the site. Carol Gottstein, resident, encouraged the Planning Board members to carefully read the RFP that LBNL put out. President Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she sees the addition of the LBNL campus as a game changer for the entire Alameda Point project. She encouraged the Planning Board to give a unanimous approval of the Resolution. Board member Kohlstrand moved adoption of the resolution supporting the City's response to the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory's Request for Proposal. Board member Lynch seconded the motion. Approved 6-0. 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS: None. 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: President Ezzy Ashcraft introduced Patrick Wallis, the newest member appointed to the Planning Board. Board member Wallis is a Facilities & Real Estate Portfolio Manager with the Coast Guard. 12.
