PlanningBoard | 2014-04-28 | 8 | Mr. William Smith, Renewed Hope commented on the use of multi-family overlay and affordable housing are exciting. He commented as a resident on the parking being an issue. Affordable housing people shouldn't have to pay for services especially if they aren't using the services. The role of the vehicle is changing, youth don't want cars. He stated density helps to expand on open space or green space. Ms. Karen Bey, commented on being excited about the project and agrees the market is right for the development. She was excited to see the list of public benefits. She asked for the approval of the project. She commented on Tang's issue of demand and supply. Mr. Doug deHaan, spoke on the need for the developer to pay for amenities and services for the project. He commented on the high density in the area. He warned of examples of the past, and the need for open spaces. Funding should be provided upfront from the developers. President Burton closed public comment. Board member Köster reported on this is a great project. He would like to see more ideas on the transit hub, and the retail side. He would like to know about the live/work units. He commented on the paseo and had safety concerns connecting to the park. He is glad to hear the development helping JSOSP, and commented on the area being underserved by open space. He is concerned about noise traveling through the corridors. He agreed with Mr. Buckley's comments, and likes option 2 for the opening. He stated the need for natural light in bathrooms over walk in closets. Board member Knox White asked about the street cross sections. Mr. Thomas stated the Master Plan is to provide as much detail as possible. Board member Knox White commented on planted medians in the road should be used as bike lanes instead, on the north side of the road. He commented on the 'exclusive transit street' detail. He commented on Entrance Road being three lanes. He would like to see some changes to Buena Vista, perhaps strips of green space. He asked the number of truck trips for Del Monte and the number seemed high (25). He spoke on language for transit related streets. He wanted the plan to address sea level rise. He suggested an open space in-lieu fee. He agreed to unbundle the parking. He liked the design. Board member Alvarez-Morroni commented on residents paying for parking permits instead of just being issued. She saw the developer give a thumbs-up for supporting the JSOSP development. She thanked staff. Board member Tang commented on the project being positive, and the issues of parking and open space need to be addressed. Perhaps enhancing LittleJohn Park can be done, and add some lighting. He asked where the divide is with Windriver with public land. He suggested a weekend parking agreement.
