PlanningBoard | 2016-01-11 | 8 | Peter Wolfe said the location of the small boat dock on the downwind end of the lagoon was problematic. He said the beach in the plans for later phases looked contrived. Helen Sause said we should preserve the opportunity to be next to the water. Board Member Köster closed the public hearing. Board Member Köster pointed out that the historic ramps are just outside of the phase that they are considering tonight. He said that that there are limited spots in the Bay Area for public docking of larger boats to encourage people to come visit sites like this. Joe Ernst said they are committed to developing boat access at the site and they are still working on how best to accomplish that. Board Member Sullivan said she does not understand why we are not prioritizing the access to get on the water for the sailing center. Board Member Mitchell said the design is special. He said he has experience with his children being water adjacent without railings and it works out okay. He said he likes bringing the historical aspects to the taxiway. Board Member Burton said there was a good balance between open spaces and making it human scale. He said other waterfront areas manage to succeed without railings and he would go to the mat to prevent a railing. Board Member Zuppan said we need to account for the impact of dogs, discouraging skateboarding and thinking about potential fishing uses in later phases. She said she thinks the plans have come a long way. She said has been worried about potential ongoing maintenance costs and that the design hopefully minimizes them. Board Member Köster said the entire Site A plans are really coming together. He said he hoped a floating dock could be a part of phase 0 to get the ball rolling. No action was taken. 9.
