PlanningBoard | 2014-10-27 | 3 | and used for police. Planning Board closed public comment. Vice President Henneberry remarked that the forums were pleasantly non-controversial. He would move the project forward. Board Member Knox White agreed and would like more clarification about planting strip right in front of the station. Mr. Bob Haun, Public Works Director, replied that existing disabled parking spaces are within the gate and therefore not open to the public. People will use the facility during emergencies, so it would be nice to have accessible space on the street. Board Member Knox White asked if there was a reason why the parking could not be moved closer. Mr. Ford replied that there is a gradient problem with the street. President Burton expressed his reservations about current design. There is an odd disjunction with two story section and the one story section. He suggested design solutions such as making some small sections taller, and replacing three small windows with two larger ones. Vice President Henneberry agreed having staff, architects and the Fire Department address these minor changes. Board Member Zuppan asked if the cost of making these changes is a concern to the city. President Burton replied that there probably will not be a large cost implication. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Haun agreed. Mr. Thomas summarized the conditions of approval regarding the change to the architectural design and the landscaping. Board Member Zuppan moved for approval with two conditions.

Mr. Jonathan Platt, neighbor, stated that he likes the concept of the plan, but was worried about traffic and parking.
