PlanningBoard | 2016-07-25 | 4 | Staff Attorney Brown said that the item could be called for review, or the applicant could appeal the Planning Board's decision(s) Staff Member Thomas said the tentative map recommendation would go to the Council either way. Board Member Sullivan asked if the parking numbers could be adjusted later, or if they needed to address the number tonight. President Knox White said that building a project with more parking that encourages more traffic would be problematic. He said he would support a motion for staff's recommendation and modifications tonight, including making sure there was a 12 foot path connecting to the waterfront. Board Member Burton said he agreed with President Knox White on the parking issue. He said we are in line with where the City is at in providing sufficient parking while encouraging transit use. Staff Member Thomas said they would amend condition 8.i. to ensure a 12 foot bike and pedestrian connection to Oak & Blanding and at Elm St. Board Member Köster said he agreed that the project is sufficiently parked, citing the transit passes that would be included with the project. Board Member Curtis asked that the motions for the development plan and open space plan be separated. Board Member Curtis made a motion to approve the open space plan. Board Member Sullivan seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. Board Member Burton made a motion to approve the development plan as outlined by staff, with the conditions: that the number of 182 units is conditioned on meeting condition number 7; that there be 12 foot wide bike and pedestrian paths from Oak & Clement to the waterfront as well as from Elm St. to the waterfront. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. Board Member Sullivan said that she believed it was an overcrowded development plan and not conducive to young families.
