PlanningBoard | 2012-04-23 | 2 | Mr. Thomas responded that staff has been in contact with Public Works regarding this particular project. Stated that all projects whether reviewed by the Zoning Administrator or Planning Board are supposed to have a full review by every department. Clarified that the only distinction between the Planning Board and the Zoning Administrator is the Zoning Administrator reviews items that are deemed small and non-controversial. Staff will have Public Works review the plan and the bicycle provisions. This will be a design review and use permit Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that there have been projects where there weren't as many bicycle parking facilities as the bike community wanted until the project was reviewed a second time. Asked if Gail Payne, Bicycle Transportation Specialist, has seen the plan Board member Knox White asked if the HAB is notified when staff approves a demolition so HAB has an opportunity to call projects for review if there is a concern; asked what the distinctions between staff level HAB decisions and Board level decisions. Asked if there it is possible to send these design review approvals to HAB for review prior to the project date of April 26 Mr. Thomas stated that the HAB is not currently informed; staff should report to the Historical Advisory Board; affirmed that there is time to forward design review to HAB for review. Unless packaged with design review application, these should be reported to the HAB. Oral Communication Karen Bey, requested that a few items be added to the agenda: the Economic Development Commission (EDC) is scheduled to review the Developers Retail Strategy on May 17, which is an important part of the Planning Board process in terms of approving and designing. Stated that there was no site map attached to the large lot Master Map on the Master Use Permit and it is difficult to know how the area will be used, i.e. retail. If retail is included would like to see how the project fits in with the Retail Strategy. Requested that the Large Format Retail Ordinance Section 30-21.36 be amended to include how the City determines a large format and that design guidelines be included. Requested that community have more time for input and perhaps host a work session prior to the Planning Board review of Phase 2, the fifth street portion of the projects; feels that the Target design was rushed and would like to see preliminary designs in the future . President Zuppan responded that the Sunshine Ordinance allows for over a week of review for packets and projects. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 8 April 23, 2012 | PlanningBoard/2012-04-23.pdf |
