PlanningBoard | 2012-08-27 | 8 | Board member Köster stated that narrowing the street and providing a larger building space in Pad B is a good idea. He stated that Tilden Way should be one way entrance and exit and the sidewalk should continue to Buena Vista with turning lanes, truck parking access, and a bike path. He concurs with Board comments regarding the 24 hour use permit. He requests as much screening between the parking lot, drive- through, and residents as possible. He would prefer regular windows on Park Street and referenced a new CVS in San Francisco that has real windows. He also concurred with comments made by Board member Knox White. President Zuppan clarified with staff that the Newspaper Stand in front of Pad B can be moved if it is in the public right of way. She clarified with staff that the crosswalk from Pacific currently has crosswalk lights. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft clarified with staff that the in-pavement lights have been repaired and signs have been installed. Board member Köster stated that bulb outs assist with pedestrians stepping out and allowing motorist to see them before crossing. President Zuppan clarified with staff that residents have a preferential parking permit program; however they would have to incur the cost of implementing the program in their neighborhood. She expressed interest in seeing the condition that the drive- through be removed in the building changes occupancy, which would require a new tenant to request permission to use it. She concurred with Board member Knox White's suggestion to decrease the width of the entrance. She expressed concern with the left turn lanes from Park Street and how traffic and pedestrian safety will be impacted without lights. Obaid Khan, Public Works, stated that access from Park Street may requires emergency vehicle access and Municipal Code requires a driveway width of 20 feet. He stated that staff will review the code and try to accommodate the request to reduce the width. He stated that pedestrians must exercise judgment when crossing streets, and that the City can restrict left turn in the future if needed. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft commented that parking between the two buildings is convenient she likes that the spaces are screened and pushed back, and does not object to keeping the spaces. Board member Knox White motioned to continue the meeting to 11:30 p.m. and hear the remaining two items. Board member Henneberry seconded the motion. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft clarified with staff that they would prefer that the Board attempt to review item 9B and if time permit a discussion regarding item 9C can occur.
