PlanningBoard | 2016-06-22 | 6 | Board Member Mitchell said he met twice with the developer. He said we need assisted living in this community. He said he is concerned with the scale and scope compared to the previously approved use. He said he is torn. He said he would like to send it back, reduce the footprint, and increase the view corridors. Board Member Köster said he is concerned with the loss of the view corridors. He said the use is good and the parking and traffic impacts are less with this project. He suggested a more compact design and maybe to increase the height. Board Member Sullivan said she supports assisted living in Alameda. She said the scale of this building is too large. She said she is concerned with safety and that she thinks the location is not appropriate for this facility. She said she is concerned with the quality of jobs the project would bring in. President Knox White said he would like to see the shuttle and WETA bike parking contributions spelled out in anything that is approved. He said we need all types of jobs. He said there is still a large amount of land available for commercial development in the Harbor Bay Business Park. He said this is a good transitional use from the office park to the residential neighborhoods. Board Member Henneberry made a motion to approve the resolution allowing the assisted living use for the site and to continue working with staff on the footprint and size of the facility. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-1 (Sullivan).
