PlanningBoard | 2016-05-09 | 10 | Board Member Henneberry said he liked the waterfront park and that it should have kayak access. He said he was concerned with building a wall around the community. He said the affordable units should be spread out and similar sizes. Board Member Zuppan said she liked the waterfront park. She said she was concerned about protecting small children from the water, especially if there was going to be a tot lot there. She was concerned with the types of railings on the roof decks. She said it would be nice to have more benches that face out to the water instead of sideways. She was concerned with having only one elevator for the wounded warrior building. She supported spreading the affordable units throughout the site. She said the site feels closed off and would not invite people in. She suggested changing the mix of housing types could free up some space for residents to breath. President Knox White said he was frustrated that there were no new plans submitted between December and this meeting. He said the large unit sizes do not allow the project to work well. He said the density bonus combined with 470 sq. ft. affordable units and the largest possible market rate units was cynical and contrary to the goals of the density bonus program. He said the project must provide TDM in order to get approval. He said he would like to see more creative use of multi family to create more useable private open space. He said they have expected true water access from every waterfront project. Board Member Burton made a motion to continue the meeting past 11pm. Board Member Zuppan seconded the motion. The motion passed 7-0. President Knox White said he is comfortable leaving the question of the affordable housing number to staff. He said that he would want to see a real plan if they are asked for a new tentative map extension. He said he was glad everyone wants to move the project forward but that it would require real partnership. He said he appreciated the lack of a court stenographer as a first step. 8.
