PlanningBoard | 2012-08-27 | 7 | Staff expressed a need to maintain lanes for exclusive transit services and bike lane requirements. Staff suggested reviewing the posted speed limit and working with the police department for speed enforcement. Board member Köster stated that the sidewalks are not continued onto Tilden Way between Foley Street and Buena Vista and is a problem with pedestrian access. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft requested that staff look into whether proper signage is posted throughout the area. She stated that the conditions address comments regarding light and noise pollution. She clarified with staff that truck deliveries would be limited to 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Board member Henneberry stated the one way entrance and exit on Park Street is a good compromise and is supportive. He stated in terms of fairness that the drive- through pharmacy should be permitted. He questions the need for the 24 hour operating permit and suggested that CVS apply for that permit at a later time, once business conditions prove the need. He stated that he would prefer fewer spandrel windows. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that her preference is to allow only for an entrance into the development from Park Street with that customers exit onto Tilden or Foley. She will support the drive-through pharmacy, but questions the actual need for it. She is not supportive of the 24-hour use permit stating that there is not a current need, and that there is no point in burdening the residents. She stated that she wants the majority (3) of the Park Street windows to be windows and the remaining two could be window boxes. Board member Knox White commented that Tilden needs to be changed into a 25 mph zone. He stated that he would like the City to find a way to make the current proposed design on Tilden work temporarily while the City works through the process for redesigning Tilden to make sure the City gets what it wants. He recommended that the one way Park Street entrance be approved and reduce the lane width, which would allow Building B expand in size. He stated that parking should not be permitted between the two buildings. He stated that "good faith REA" discussions should be required and he projects that REA would result in a net loss in vehicles exiting onto Foley Street. He stated that he is not supportive of the 24 hour use permit, and stated that CVS can request it at a later date, should they determine a need. He encouraged that the investment group investigate ideas/agreements to allow residential parking overnight. He would like to condition that the garbage bins be relocated, and a lighting plan be approved. He suggested that truck delivery be limited to Tilden Way. He will acquiesce on the windows. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft requested that the wording of condition #72 be changed from "encouraged" to "required." Approved Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 13 July 23, 2012 | PlanningBoard/2012-08-27.pdf |
