PlanningBoard | 2015-10-12 | 5 | Board Member Zuppan said she did not support adding no storage requirements on the garages. She said the barbecue would be nice but maintenance and smoke issues concerned her. She said the wanted more canopy trees on the site in order to fit into the neighborhood. She said it would be helpful if there were some way for people to prepare food, even in a limited way, on the units with first floor bathrooms and bedrooms. Board Member Henneberry said the project has come a long way and the applicant has done everything they asked in working with the community. He said the AAPS letter made some good points. Board Member Burton said he wondered if the language around the fire access on the turf needed to be clarified. Board Member Mitchell said the trees in front of the park might need to be omitted to make it inviting to the public. President Knox White said the location of the grills was a concern. He also said he wants them to be gas. He said the large building on Clement had some design issues, and agreed with many of the other comments regarding windows and other details. He said he agreed with Board Member Zuppan that the Mediterranean buildings fit with what the board asked the applicant to do. He said the diversity in design adds to the neighborhood. Mr. Thomas said he would like to bring the item back with changes and clarifications incorporating the Board's feedback. Board Member Burton said the stone base would not look good and said he hoped we would not require that. Board Member Zuppan made a motion to continue the item to the October 26th, 2015 meeting. The motion was seconded by Board Member Sullivan. The motion passed 7-0. 7-B 2015-2143 Hold a public workshop on the proposed conceptual approach and process for design review of the initial phase of Site A development.
