He explained that the eight universal design units are easily ADA accessible, having ground floor bedrooms and minimum 32 inch primary doorways, and four of the eight do not have steps to enter (the other four have one step). Board Member Zuppan wanted to ensure that homeowners are notified that the park their HOA dues pay for are open to the public. She indicated including language in resolution that would support those who do not have two cars to be able to use their garages to the fullest extent. Board Member Alvarez asked if the emphasis in the Tree Plan was only to keep mature trees. Mr. Thomas said the goal is to keep all trees and that there will be a public notice if any trees will be removed. Board Member Alvarez was in agreement with Board Member Knox White regarding item 11D. She was in favor of the project. Board Member Knox White motioned to approve the project with the exception of resolution item 11D and to include language that HOA cannot control color, or block ADA ramps.

Mr. Thomas introduced the proposal for the Marriot Fairfield Inn at the Harbor Bay Business Park. He said this was the third time the Planning Board was reviewing this project. The first time was in February and there were issues with the site plan, parking plan and with the architecture. The second time was in April in which the applicants identified changes to address parking and set back. The revised parking matched neighboring hotels which have adjacent shared parking and the site plan had been changed as well. The applicants replaced the original architect team with SB Architects since the last revision. The project provides service by Harbor Bay shuttle and private hotel shuttle to the Oakland Airport, Park Street, and the ferry terminal. Mr. Thomas said that staff was recommending approval. Mr. Greg Lehman gave a presentation on the revised design concept. Board Member Tang asked if the adjacent parking lot is owned by the hotel.
