PlanningBoard | 2015-09-14 | 5 | Ms. Shank said there are some design options that could be explored in that direction. Board Member Mitchell asked where the A/C units would be and asked about surface treatments to prevent corrosion. Ms. Shank said they would use "mini-split" units that would cut through the walls or ceilings. She said they are designed for use on the sea and are designed to withstand the elements. Board Member Köster asked about the placement of the security gates and how maintenance of the planter boxes would work. Ms. Shank indicated the positions of the gates. She said they wanted to see what support there was from the board before getting into the fine details of maintenance plans. Board Member Sullivan asked about the seven year parking agreement and what would happen after that. Staff Member Thomas explained that they could make it a requirement to maintain in perpetuity, where they would have to find a new agreement if the original one was not renewed. President Henneberry opened the public hearing. Ken Carvalho said he supports the project. Rich Krinks said he supports the project. He says there is a strong demand for small office space.
