PlanningBoard | 2016-05-09 | 5 | Board Member Burton said single family homes could maybe be used as a buffer for the Big Whites but that we should encourage denser housing closer to Site A. Board Member Köster said he would like to see a planning document identifying the historic buildings in the neighborhood that will be kept. He said he liked the idea of the farm community. He said he supported the idea of building taller and denser closer to Site A and going lower as you reach the Big Whites and the farm edge. He said he was concerned with creating a strong access to the ferry terminal. 7-C 2016-2868 Study Session to Provide Direction on Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal Design Board Member Burton recused himself from the discussion do to his employment connection to Alameda Point Partners who is a major funder for the project. Staff Member Giles gave the staff presentation.

Staff Member Giles said that it was just identifying the budget shortfall for procurement of the vessel. Board Member Köster asked if the decision to do an interim plan was deliberate and what the reason was behind it. Staff Member Thomas said that the long term infrastructure costs that would be born by developers of Site B are why the choice was made to go with an interim option to get a ferry terminal operational. Board Member Zuppan asked if the wheel stops for separating the two way bike lane were to be the same style as those used on Shoreline. Staff Member Thomas said that they were, but they were looking into a more permanent type. Page 5 of 11 Approved Minutes May 9, 2016 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2016-05-09.pdf |
