Board member Henneberry stated that he likes the outcome of all the work done by the subcommittee and applicant. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she feels the utility boxes on Fifth Street need to be screened off and not extend into the public right away. Mr. Naclerio stated that the boxes will be in the public right away but not in the pedestrian access. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that the City needs to take into consideration pedestrians in wheelchairs and walkers. She also feels that the 10 parking spaces to 1 bike parking is not enough in the park areas. Mr. Naclerio stated that the code requirements are locked in with the Development Agreement which is the agreed upon requirements and the code at the time of the agreement. He mentioned that the City could possibly apply the new bike standards. Vice President Burton complimented the Design Team and stated that the pedestrian/ bike improvements and vehicle circulation is much better. He feels that the Block A affordable housing option A is the better option the way it addresses the paseos. He also stated that he would like to see 2-story houses on the paseos, but if 3-story homes are placed on them they should be set back more. He would like to see additional attention paid to the corner houses. He feels that the changes in Block C are good and stated that the condominium units on Mitchell Avenue need a strong face to the street. Board member Knox White asked about the circular road to the open space in Block D and wondered why the road doesn't connect through an easement over the Webster Tube to eliminate visitors to the area from driving past residential buildings. Board member Knox White suggested modifying Condition #52 to state that it will be dealt with in a future phase of the development. He stated that the Singleton and Mosely extensions do not exist in the General Plan; also he is comfortable with moving forward with the approval of the streets.
