PlanningBoard | 2011-03-14 | 9 | Ms. Burdick, resident in the Wedge neighborhood, also stressed that this neighborhood is really residential in nature and not commercial. She also supports the development of a park for this area and the limitation of height on Park Street and residential neighborhoods. She also supports Alameda Architectural Preservation Society's (AAPS) comments on the land use changes. Mr. Ratto, Executive Director of Park Street Business Association, commented that it is highly unfavorable to submit significant amount of comments on projects at 4 pm on the dates on which a project is heard. Ms. Turpen, resident of Alameda, spoke about the land use map. She requested that the notation "could be commercially developed" be taken off residentially developed properties backing up against Park Street. Mr. Köster, resident of Alameda, feels strongly that an open space for park, urban farming, or community garden is necessary in the Wedge neighborhood. He suggests placing such a park or garden on the former Island High School site. Ms. Miles, Alameda resident, supports the recommendations made by AAPS. She is concerned that residential structures will become targets for demolition. She would like to see the map changed to accurately reflect the actual uses of the neighborhoods. She also seconds previous comments made about gardens or a park for that neighborhood. Mr. Fokas, Alameda resident, seconds AAPS comments. Mr. Rutter, Alameda resident, supports returning residential structures to residential uses, and minimizing commercial redevelopment in this neighborhood. Ms. Lambden, Alameda resident, supports the AAPS comments. She would like to see the residential structures on Lyle, Eagle, Blanding, Clement and Everett rezoned as residential uses. Mr. Buckley, AAPS representative, supports the planning effort. He elaborated on the comments provided in the letter submitted to the Board. He apologized for submitting a voluminous comment letter with such short time to review the comments. President Ezzy-Ashcraft closed the public comment period and asked for clarification on the recent demolition of the historic residence on Buena Vista Avenue. Ms Kavanaugh-Lynch explained the project history and the demolition process referenced earlier by other speakers. Mr. Thomas requested that the board provide comments on the draft code.
