PlanningBoard | 2012-12-10 | 8 | Mr. Thomas stated that the decision whether Singleton will have bike lanes and/or parking can be delayed to the future, but the overall right of way total of 58' needs to stay the same so the builder knows how much land is available for homes. Mr. Naclerio stated that the thought was that both streets would be shared-lane marking or sharrows. Board member Knox White stated that the Board needs to be very clear if we move forward with this this there is a possibility of having less parking on these streets. Mr. Naclerio asked if the intent was to have both streets have bike lanes or just one. Board member Knox White stated that as it stands now there are no streets to the retail center that a parent would want their child to ride on because of the traffic. Mr. Naclerio stated that possibly switching widths from one street to the other by making the Mosely Avenue parking lane 7' and take the 2' and add to Singleton Avenue, which would give it room for a 5' bike lane. Board member Knox White stated that he felt that was a good solution if the developer would agree to it. Board member Köster stated that he is happy with what has been done and hopes that the architectural comments will also be taken into consideration. He also agrees with the need for residential over retail. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft agrees with the residential over the retail but stressed that you don't want businesses competing with the retail at the mall. Board member Köster asked about work live units. Mr. Thomas stated that it can be permitted on 5th Street. President Zuppan asked why there is a separation of the low income housing. Ms. Potter stated that it is a rental complex and needs to be together in one area due to financial and maintenance reasons. She stated that the Housing Authority will manage it and the location was selected due to its proximity to the amenities such as schools, transit, and retail. She also mentioned that the goal of the Housing Authority is to provide housing to low and very low income residents. President Zuppan agreed that the wider staircases are a good idea, as is the community garden. She asked if the TDM requirements on the homeowners are indexed to allow for increases over time. Mr. Thomas replied that it was. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 11 December 10, 2012 | PlanningBoard/2012-12-10.pdf |
