PlanningBoard | 2016-06-27 | 7 | 7 related to the rest of Alameda Point. He said he liked the adaptability of Block 10. He liked the idea of collecting rainwater in the silos for use on the site. Board Member Henneberry said the developer did a good job. He said he liked the previous design w/ the relief of the pegasus wing at the corner of Block 6. He liked the sawtooth design of Block 7. Board Member Zuppan said she wants to make sure there are walk in showers in the universally designed units. She said she was concerned that the Monterey Pines and Blue Agave would not work well next to each other. She echoed Board Member Köster's comment about breaking up the long, uniform walls, suggesting differentiated colors. She said she liked the wood paneling. She said we need to have a place for packages to be delivered instead of leaving them on the front steps in such a high traffic, transit oriented development. She said she would like more than the minimum to be visitable to people with mobility issues. She said she is excited about Block 10 and hopes it takes off. She said she liked the idea of more color in Block 10, but maybe not that shade of yellow. She said she is concerned about the logs in the center of the site but is willing to give it a try. She said the utility boxes were the main concern of the tentative map. President Knox White said he will not be supporting Blocks 6 & 7. He said they are not consistent with the commitments made to reduce traffic with this development. He said that he would hope that these specific materials are used and not allowed to use approximations of these materials. He said he would like to see language limiting the roles of the HOAs. He said he is wondering why there is a 20 foot wide one way road past Block 10. He said it will result in many cars going right through what was planned as a pedestrian plaza. He said we should require that the new building maintain see through visibility from Atlantic to the interior of Block 10. Staff Member Thomas listed potential conditions for approval of Block 6: bring back the tentative map providing information for phasing of improvements along Main St., street trees along the two side streets, the bike lane on C St., and the right hand turn lane exiting Alameda Point; modify the conditions to include a reference to the displayed color and material board (or higher quality); making sure the landscape plans address the needs of pets; adding the standard window condition for the 2 inch recess; securing roof decks from allowing materials that could fly off; a condition of approval for staff to see the location and screening of utility boxes before building permits are issued; clarifying the showers V. tubs in the universal design units; addressing package delivery; and, limiting the HOA's scope to maintaining public facilities. Board Member Mitchell made a motion to approve Block 6 with the conditions laid out by Staff Member Thomas, except the condition regarding the HOA. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-1 (Knox White). Approved Minutes Page 7 of 9 Planning Board Meeting June 27, 2016 | PlanningBoard/2016-06-27.pdf |
