PlanningBoard | 2013-06-24 | 7 | currently. She agreed the Webster signage be separate. She would like to see a more realistic rendering for the landscape and would like to see a better design for In-and-Out Burger. She agreed with others that the hours should be looked at more closely, and asked if there is something they can do to work with Oakland about the homeless encampment under the freeway. President Burton understands the concerns with crime and the break-in issues, but hearing comments that people coming in from the tube only want to do harm is distressing. He agreed with no alcohol sales at the gas station, but the hours he is not opposing. He would like to know what percentage of their businesses are open that late. He is concerned with the lights affecting the residents. He would like to hear and see more with what COA is doing and how this project connects. He stated the gateway issue is critical and thanked Catellus for the 'Welcome to Alameda' sign, but would like the AL sign separate. The first thing seen from exiting the tube would be the gas station, not the In-and-Out Burger. He commented on the canopy being critical and the lighting as well. He agreed with the comment on moving the buildings so it would be a greater bank of landscape coming into the City. Regarding the notes of landscaping the buildings doesn't seem to work when talking about hiding the buildings, and hedges and low walls to discourage pedestrians isn't a good idea. There needs to be a safe crossing from COA area to the development. The design for In-and-Out Burger needs to be better, this design doesn't work with the area, in fact many of the buildings need to be better. 7.B.
