PlanningBoard | 2016-06-27 | 5 | 7-B 2016-3056 Hold a Public Hearing to Consider: Block 7 Design Review, Block 6 Design Review, Block 10 Design Review and Use Permit, and Site A Phase 1 Tentative Map. Board Member Burton recused himself from item 7-B. Staff Member Thomas introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2764544&GUID=2B3D5109- 088-49EF-8BD6-909A26DF166D&FullText=1 Jessica Music, KTGY, gave a presentation on the design of Block 6 at Alameda Point. Peter Hesse, architect for Block 7, gave a presentation on the design of Block 7. Dennis O'Kelly, BCV architects, and April Phillips, landscape architect, gave a presentation on the design of Block 10. Board Member Sullivan asked about only having two trees in the middle of a large hardscape of Block 10. Ms. Phillips explained what their vision is for the open space and why a lot of trees might not work with their flexible goals for the space. Board Member Köster asked if the silos on the building at Block 10 would be functional or decorative. Mr. O'Kelly said that depending on what tenant they end up with will dictate what uses they go with for the silos. Board Member Köster asked about visit ability of all the units which have steps up to the entrance. Staff Member Thomas said it is an issue they are grappling with all over the city and trying to address in the Universal Design ordinance. Board Member Köster asked how package delivery would work and whether the decision was made that the community building at the corner of Block 6 was deemed not necessary. Ms. Music said parcels would likely be placed on the porch like they would for a single family home. She said the community building was going to be confusing if it was for private use and increase HOA fees to maintain it, and that it why it was removed.
