PlanningBoard | 2016-02-22 | 5 | Jennifer Ott, Chief Operating Officer for Alameda Point, gave a presentation about the design tradeoffs and decisions staff made in considering sea level rise defense strategies. Staff Member Thomas gave a presentation on the design of the shared plaza in front of Block 11 adjacent to the Waterfront Park. Board Member Köster asked who would be the owners of the shared plaza. Staff Member Thomas said that it would be a city owned street. Board Member Köster asked about the length of the canopy in front of the Block 8 buildings. He asked about the plans not to provide a dishwasher in the senior units. Ms. Music said the canopy was about twelve feet. The developer said they typically did not need a dishwasher for the units with only 1-2 people. Board Member Köster asked if the windows on the backside of Block 8 would require a two inch offset. He asked if the pavilion and restrooms would come back for design review. Staff Member Thomas said they could make sure those window details are included in the final presentation when it comes back. He said they would condition the final approvals to bring back the final designs for the public buildings in the Waterfront Park and that they were looking for approval of the general shape and layout of the park. Board Member Zuppan asked if there were any water fountains in the public park. Staff Member Thomas said they would make sure there were some in the final design. Board Member Sullivan asked about the difference in height from the edge of the promenade to the water at high and low tides. Staff Member Thomas said it was anywhere from a couple feet to eight or nine, depending on the tide. He said if the board wants to consider railing options they can bring that back with the lighting plans. Board Member Sullivan asked why Building 11 exceeds the height limits the City designated. Staff Member Thomas explained the finding that is necessary in order to approve a building higher than 65 feet. He said the tall retail spaces are a large factor that increased the height of the building. Page 5 of 8 Approved Minutes February 22, 2016 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2016-02-22.pdf |
