PlanningBoard | 2012-05-14 | 3 | Board member Köster asked if the display windows near the public art are going to be included in the final documents because the elevations for display windows are not displayed on the renderings. Mr. Thomas confirmed that the display windows are included and that the perspective renderings are not up to date. Board member Köster acknowledged Mr. Spangler's comments on energy efficiencies and asked if the building's energy efficiencies are still open for comment and review, even though the core and foundation of the building has been approved. Mr. Thomas clarified that the Board's discretion is over the exterior of the building. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would like to se more brick on the front of the building. Mr. Thomas responded that the building will be compliant with California Building Code and their energy efficiency requirements. John Dewes, Target's Regional Development Manager, responded that Target does practice energy efficiencies and the base building design meets the requirements for LEED Certification. President Zuppan stated her appreciation for receiving the materials board, because it helps her get a better perspective on how things are actually going to look. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that one of the challenges the Board faces is how to inform the public on what the Planning Board is doing. Mr. Thomas replied that staff is also frustrated, and wants to inform as many people as possible. He explained that one of the ways staff is addressing the problem is by including plans in the Board packet for review, questions, and comments. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated inclusion of the plans in the packet would certainly inform the Board, but she doesn't think that would inform the public at large. She inquired about individual residential notice with the Alameda Landing project and stated that perhaps there aren't many resident's who live within the 300 foot required notification radius. Mr. Thomas replied that there are residents within the 300 foot radius at the Bay Port Development. President Zuppan stated that the Board has two options and can either accept the staff's recommendation with no formal action required or call the item for review at a future public hearing. Board members accepted staff's recommendation. 7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Anyone may address the Board on a topic not on the agenda under this item by submitting a speaker's information slip, subject to the five-minute time limit.
