PlanningBoard | 2012-08-27 | 6 | Jacqueline Miranda, resident, concurred with previous speakers, and requests that the Foley Street entrance and exit be closed and the right turn only exits on both Tilden and Park be installed. Irene Dieter, resident, expressed surprise with the acceptance of the statement that housing over retail establishments on Park Street doesn't make economic sense, and stated that the same thought could be applied to Alameda Point and sets a bad precedence. Requested explanation for allowing one and not the other. Lear Blitzstein, resident, concurs with Mr. Herrick's statements and is opposed to CVS, a corporation moving into the neighborhood. Expressed concern with light and noise pollution, parking impact, traffic congestion and speeding. Heath Carlisle, resident, concerned about the extra traffic from the development especially with a 24 hour use permit, and requested that no entrance/exit be allowed on Foley Street. Brian Kernan, concurred with comments made by Nanette Berdict regarding Foley Street, disagree with 24 hour use permit, and expressed concern with delivery times and inadequate amount of parking. He requested that Tilden way be reduced to single lanes each way, with metered parking. Jacqueline Cooper, resident, generally opposes the CVS, concerned with the placement of garbage bins, and against the 24 hour drive through. She asked the Board to consider whether a development that includes a CVS pharmacy and Chase bank keeps with the smaller boutique businesses that inhabit Park Street. David Maxcy, resident, he likes the design and believes it will enhance Park Street. He expressed concern regarding traffic impact on Park Street. Lorre Zuppan closed public comment. Andrew Thomas stated that the zoning is commercial manufacturing, that there is an increase in the parking ratio. He clarified that if the Foley Street entrance/exit is closed there will probably not be an REA with the Market Place, which would impact the proposed landscaping and improvements on the Market Place parking lot. He stated that the traffic study doesn't show a significant increase on Foley Street. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft clarified with staff that Tilden Way is an exclusive transit right of way and a truck route and traffic can be slowed down by use of medians. Board member Henneberry clarified with staff that lane reduction on Tilden would significantly impact arterial traffic and the operations of the street and may require a General Plan amendment.
