PlanningBoard | 2013-05-13 | 5 | window schedule. She would like to see more visual interest in the vast spaces. She agreed the color choices should be left to the homeowners, but still have some level of consistency. She would like to see ideas for garden planting and landscaping together. She agreed on places for sitting, and street lights pointing downward, and more share of the street to bicycles and safety. She had a hard time with the fixtures in the landscaping, and fitting into the neighborhoods, its a bit hodge-podge. She loved the fact that landscaping is bay friendly. Board member Knox White asked about the process. Mr. Thomas stated he has prepared a list as they move forward for conditions and approvals. Board member Henneberry asked about the downward facing lighting and didn't this Board approve that previously. Mr. Thomas requested the Board adopt with the conditions being the Fifth Street elevations coming back, and color palette. Additional conditions being made but not coming back to the Board would be the HOA would not regulate colors, the Singleton cross-section be amended, the affordable housing portion, on block D make the changes, there is already a condition of approval on the lighting, bike parking, make sure benches are incorporated, and downward lighting, and the windows for SFR have no sandwiched grids. Specific issues on AS-1, AS-1.5, AS-1.1.7, more vertical variation in landscaping, Street C is a private street, but will connect. Board member Knox White requested specific changes to the bike lane being increased. Mr. Thomas noted the change. Vice President Burton commented adding a foot to the bike lane could add an additional foot to the front yard on residences. Mr. Thomas explained there is a 20' easement on the multi-use path on the western boundary. He asked if the request is to make it 10' asphalt for bike path and 5' on each side for landscape. The extra foot for bike can be from the landscape sides. Board member Alvarez-Morroni asked if there was a window schedule would this make the decision easier. Board member Knox White agreed with Vice President Burton that it makes sense to add the foot to the property owner's front yard setback. Board member Knox White motioned to approve the Resolution as commented by staff and the Board. Board member Köster seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0.
