PlanningBoard | 2014-06-23 | 8 | Board member Zuppan commented on parking in the neighborhood, but would appreciate web links to the studies. She is excited to see a master transportation plan, but would like to see the ability for all residents to use the services. She agreed there are huge gaps in connecting the east bay to south bay. Mr. Thomas stated ideally a walk to Clement will allow one to catch a bus over to BART, and back, with this service being available frequently. Clement needs to be built with this project. Board member Zuppan stated that for the residents to pay for all the transit costs isn't fair. She likes the idea of increasing the car share option. She asked about sidewalk widths, and suggested they are increased to 7', and likes the benches along Clement. She wants bike parking to be looked at, and interior open space needs more thought. She commented on sea level rise with the subterranean parking, and would like to see the barrier. Handicap spaces cannot all be compact, and shared parking should be detailed. Storm water runoff is being exempt and she wants to know why, are they looking at capturing runoff, is there an offset from the old building for the silver certification. Requested for glass on building have detail to protect birds. Make it look like it belongs' is a valid comment. She thanked everyone for the comments, hard work, and support. Board member Zuppan motioned to continue meeting past 11:00 p.m. Vice President Henneberry seconded. Motioned carried, 3-1 (Alvarez-Morron opposed) Vice President Henneberry asked for clarification on the parking sticker program. Mr. Thomas explained if there is a gap in the cost to administer the program, the neighborhood would have to pay for it. The majority of the public comment has been negative and the idea was dropped. Vice President Henneberry stated he has lived here many years and this building has been empty a long time and he hopes this project will move forward. There are some details that need to be hammered out, but this project can work. President Burton commented on the car share idea and would like the number increased, but wants an analysis. Electric charging stations are a good idea. He wants to see a good even distribution of the affordable units, and see those specified on the drawings. He commented on the entrance roads being 12', and would like those narrowed. On the master plan there is a phasing approval for permitting, typo. He agreed the need for handicap parking, but seeing the plans larger could work. He like the paseos, but there are no east and west courts. He needs to see the commercial frontage details and landscaping details for the property between Windriver and Clement. Mr. Thomas stated waterfront side landscaping will be paid for by the project, along with the street work. Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 9 June 23, 2014 | PlanningBoard/2014-06-23.pdf |
