PlanningBoard | 2012-04-23 | 8 | 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS Board member Knox White stated that the Target status report was confusing and not clear on Board's purpose with this item. It seemed like a public hearing on the design. Not clear on how to give direction to staff on a status report when the direction is coming from one person not the entire body. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that in the future design review should not be approved until it has met all the Board's standard. Suggested that staff review the pedestrian past at the shopping district on Bay Street in Emeryville, which may give guidance on pedestrian pathway protection. President Zuppan stated that the piecemeal approach is sometimes too isolated and the Board needs to have all the context in order to make decisions. Requests that guidelines for status report be drafted so the Board better understands of what the expectations are. Vice President Burton concurs that bringing items to the Board earlier is the best solution so the Board has a chance to review and change as necessary. Developers and designers would want issues identified as early as possible to help keep projects on track. Board member Köster asked if the Board will review the final site plan that was approved with conditions Mr. Thomas affirmed that the Board will be presented with a final site plan review. Will take Board comments to staff for review to come up with the best approach to receive final approval but keep the project on task. 12.
