Mr. Kennedy stated this is a developer question. Vice President Henneberry commented that it doesn't matter what your zip code is we want everyone to shop here. Board member Köster appreciates the comments and having representatives here from the various businesses. He doesn't feel having the current location being retail is ideal and suggested the businesses move to the shopping center. He would like the parcel to stay open space and for larger, better signage as the gateway, and perhaps opening up the corner of Stargell more. He likes the colors of Chase but maybe work on the base pieces. He would like to see renderings from the tube exit. He agrees with other members in terms of the beer and wine use permit. Board member Alvarez-Morroni encouraged the residents to start a neighborhood watch program and work with APD. She suggests a safe path for pedestrians. She stated she likes the idea of story-poles for this site, and the signage into the Webster Street area being separate. As far as permits and usage she would like comparisons done with businesses on Webster. She agreed the alcohol sales at the gas station are not necessary. Board member Tang stated his main concern is the traffic issue and impact on neighboring residents. Board member Zuppan stated she appreciated all the comments and she is torn with the establishments coming onto the island. She asked if APD would come back to talk about the pedestrian traffic. Sgt. Simmons commented that both main intersections will draw pedestrians from the COA campus and from the surrounding neighborhoods. He agreed there will be some jaywalking issues and the crosswalk moving to the east side of the campus would be better. He expressed concerns with a crosswalk being at Stargell and Webster and the collisions that have happened. Board member Zuppan further asked about the crime issues and previous comments that the businesses would attract crime. Sgt. Simmons stated it doesn't matter where the people are coming from, and would compare this site to Marina Village Parkway area, and agreed that more businesses will bring more people to the area. Board member Zuppan wants for the gateway issue to be addressed and would like to see more character in the buildings. She commended Catellus for adding the sign there Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 8 June 24, 2013 | PlanningBoard/2013-06-24.pdf |
