Board member Knox White commented on the need for a crosswalk and if there isn't one this plan should not move forward. The decisions for this site was made years ago when they did the land swap with the College and Catellus. He commented on options. He is opposed to this project moving forward until CalTrans provides permission/approves a crosswalk. Option B is what he is in favor of. The landscaping is a good plan. He would like to see a path through the College that connects the corner. He would like to see the Alameda Landing sign moved, it is not at the location for the Landing. He stated there are changes needed in the Resolution. He further commented on a 2nd left turn lane and would like the language removed. He is in favor of the In-n-Out Burger. He is in favor of the fuel center use permit, would like the hours reviewed in 6mos., and both drive thru's. Board member Zuppan reiterated this Board does not select the businesses that come to town, and options are limited. Her concern was with the gateway design, but likes how the landscaping is coming along. She doesn't want the canopy of the fuel station to be the first thing one sees coming into the City. She agrees this is an automobile site over a pedestrian site. She met with the applicant and walked the site, and would like to see something in the conditions that addresses the prevention of crime. The gateway sign should be balanced, and likes the idea of public art there. The issue of emergency vehicles they can still get around the back of the portal. The residents concerns can be balanced. She is willing to approve the drive-thru's with check in conditions, and is fine with the fuel station if landscape is better. The crosswalk at Stargell is a safety concern and should be Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 12 July 22, 2013 | PlanningBoard/2013-07-22.pdf |
