The resolution will be posted at: https://alamedaca.gov/city-hall/planning-board Waterfront Park Landscaping Board Member Sullivan said she has concerns with the decomposed granite. She would like to make sure we are not stuck with something that does not work. She said she hopes they keep searching for a good palm tree choice. Board Member Mitchell said he prefers the railing option 1 with the cable instead of the bars. He said he was glad they are planning to use the 3000 K LED lights. Board Member Curtis said he prefers option 2 for the railing. Board Member Zuppan said she would like the larger cap to the railing but with the less obstructive cable below. She expressed some concerns with the light fixture choices. She said she is concerned with the fake grass. She said she hopes we can find a more attractive fixture for the lights along the promenade. Board Member Köster said he likes the vertical stanchions of option 1 with the top to option 2. He said he agreed that the pole mounted lighting for the promenade was not attractive. President Knox White said he likes the railing cap from option 2. He said he has some concerns about the usability of the bike racks. He briefly polled the board on the railing options. The consensus was for the vertical stanchions and the wing shaped railing with cable beneath. Staff Member Thomas summarized proposed changes and conditions to the resolution: no greater than 3000 Kelvin color temperature for the LED lighting; railing with straight stanchions and the flat top; bring back the promenade light poles with the site furniture choices; bring back the bike rack; update and discussion on the tree strap lighting. Board Member Köster made a motion to approve the landscape resolution with the amendments Staff Member Thomas spelled out above. Board Member Mitchell seconded the motion. Board Member Sullivan asked for more research on the palm tree selection and to report back when the remaining items come to the board.
