PlanningBoard | 2016-07-25 | 3 | Sue Field said she likes the open space, but she is worried about the parking in the plan. She said there is a lot of break ins of cars on that section of Clement. She said football game nights will be a big problem. She said she would like to see stop signs on Clement at Elm and at Walnut. She said garages are used for storage, not parking cars. President Knox White closed the public hearing. Staff Member Thomas said the guests and visitors are included in the 30 spaces Board Member Curtis asked about, but that does not include the on street parking. Board Member Sullivan asked how many parking spaces are included in the property not including public streets. Staff Member Thomas said there would be a minimum of 30 guest spaces and 1.5 spaces per unit. Board Member Curtis asked if safety aspects of traffic emergencies have been considered. He said that traffic backs us significantly today without this project. Staff Member Thomas said that in an emergency, police and fire would take control of getting cars through intersections. He said they would likely create an all way stop at Blanding and Oak. He said the police and fire departments have reviewed and approved the project. President Knox White said that he was disheartened by the fact that not much happened in the year since the last extension was approved. Board Member Burton made a motion to deny the tentative map extension, per staff's recommendation. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. President Knox White asked for clarification about whether they were being asked to approve a density bonus application tonight. Staff Member Thomas said we should modify condition #8 to clarify the number of 182 units are contingent upon the density bonus number of very low income units provided. He said that without a functioning density bonus application with 13 very low units, the resolution would have to revert back to 140 units. He said they also need to do 6 low income units and 10 moderate units to meet the City's inclusionary housing requirements. President Knox White said the open space plan is great. He asked if the items would go to the City Council. Approved Minutes Page 3 of 11 Planning Board Meeting July 25, 2016 | PlanningBoard/2016-07-25.pdf |
