PlanningBoard | 2012-10-22 | 5 | Mr. Thomas stated that Marina Cove Phase I had a disclosure requirement, and it can be added to Phase II. Mr. Naclerio stated that there are no current restrictions on hours of use for truck routes. Board member Köster stated that he liked the staff proposal, and there appears to be a balance of units. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that the three story homes at Grand Marina are quite nice and that compared to the size of the Del Monte building this seems reasonable. She further referenced the homeowners letter about the below market rate homes being poorly maintained in Phase I and that she spoke to Ms. Potter (staff) via email who stated that there is an agreement with the Alameda Development Corporation and there is a program for low-income owners to ask for funds for repair. She stated the Bayport development hasn't had any problems. Board member Hennebery stated that it appears to be a well-designed project. In regards to member Knox White's comment on driveways exiting onto Buena Vista, he doesn't see anything wrong with it. Vice President Burton explained that the Duets will have porches and decks that face the street, they are nice deep porches, but the ones facing on Buena Vista have a 10' setback and they protrude some up to 8' into that 10' setback, and could be right up to the sidewalk. President Zuppan stated that she is struggling with the lower number of affordable housing units then what was originally planned. John Shelton of Trident Partners stated that addressing all the comments will be most challenging. He stated that they are six months to a year away from bringing a design plan forward. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft asked if the developer looked at attached units. Mr. Shelton said that they did, but it didn't work. They maximized the multi-family to two units. He stated that a recent study says people don't use their yards, the average time a child spends in his yard is four minutes a day. All the BMR's follow a guideline from the City, and they are doing what staff asked. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft asked if the designs will be looking at energy efficiency. Mr. Shelton said yes that it is required. President Zuppan asked if the driveways are part of this process or another process. Mr. Thomas stated that the Board can change the location of driveways in the next stage, but it could change the map.
