PlanningBoard | 2016-09-26 | 4 | Ms. Phillips said they are working on a transition plan that addresses the grade change and probably leave the waterfront open for the time being. Board Member Zuppan asked about the heat that gets retained on the artificial turf. Ms. Phillips said they had not researched that issue. She said they decided that given the type and amount of use predicted, they felt that an artificial turf was necessary. Board Member Zuppan asked why BCDC required the use of a railing. Ms. Phillips said that safety was BCDC's primary reason behind recommending the railing. Board Member Zuppan asked if the LED color temperature was part of the resolution. Staff Member Thomas said they can make it clear in the resolution to choose the warmer light setting. Board Member Sullivan said she had concerns about the palm tree variety being chosen, due to susceptibility to scales, and aesthetics. Ms. Phillips said they are working with a number of people to make sure they make an informed choice. She said they are balancing soil and wind concerns, which limits their choices. Street Names President Knox White said he was glad Board Member Sullivan caught the street names continuity issue. He said two streets with jogs intersecting did not work. He gave some background on the process for selecting street names that the community went through in recent years. He suggested Tradewind and Golden Hawks as names to be added. Board Member Köster gave some feedback on the hierarchy of avenues, streets, and ways based on length and cardinal orientation. Staff Member Thomas summarized the board consensus on changes to the street names. He said Ardent Way would be Ardent St. and go N/S from W. Atlantic. He said Coronado Ave would end at Ardent St. He said the western portion of Coronado would change to Tradewind Ave. He said the portion labeled Ardent Way (D) would be Golden Hawks Way. Board Member Sullivan made a motion to approve the street names resolution with amendments: Coronado "C" becomes Tradewind Ave; Buckthorn "D" becomes Buckthorn Approved Minutes Page 4 of 7 Planning Board Meeting September 26, 2016 | PlanningBoard/2016-09-26.pdf |
