PlanningBoard | 2016-07-25 | 2 | Staff Member Thomas introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2782555&GUID=2BD7CA48- 73CF-42CD-8752-D372F8001235&FullText=1 Board Member Curtis asked if the 30 guest parking spaces is in addition to parking for public access to the waterfront. Staff Member Thomas said he would review the question while the applicant gave their presentation. Phillip Banta, project architect, gave a presentation on their project application and the process that brought them to this point. Shona Armstrong, project attorney, spoke about the previous settlement agreement that they are basing their position on. She said staff is misleading the Planning Board to abrogate rights of the property owner. She said there is no legal impediment to extending the tentative map. She said they hope not to be put back at square one if the board approves the staff recommendations. Staff Attorney Brown said that the City no longer has any obligations under the settlement agreement. She said the City Engineer sent a letter saying that he could not find the tentative map from 2011 in substantial conformance with the final map that was submitted. Board Member Curtis asked if they could submit a final map without a tentative map first. Staff Member Thomas said the City Council approved the tentative map in 2011 that required them to get the permits to fill the necessary portion of the bay. He said that BCDC condition was the very first condition in the 2011 approval. President Knox White opened the public hearing. Dorothy Freeman said she has been commenting on this project for 15 years. She said the new plans are different from the 2011 plan and cannot piggyback on that plan. She asked that the board deny the tentative map extension. Robert McGillis is a member of the project architect team. He said the settlement agreement had been the basis for their work up until just a few months ago when the City decided not to recognize it any further. He said they are so close and would like to see it happen. Approved Minutes Page 2 of 11 Planning Board Meeting July 25, 2016 | PlanningBoard/2016-07-25.pdf |
