PlanningBoard | 2016-09-26 | 6 | Board Members Köster and Mitchell accepted the additional reporting request as an amendment to their motion. The motion passed 6-0. The resolution will be posted at: https://alamedaca.gov/city-hall/planning-boar Ferry Terminal Board Member Zuppan said she prefers the orange canopy for the ferry terminal. She suggested using a glass finish that would be effective for deterring bird strikes and more attractive than the wire mesh. Board Member Köster said he also liked the orange canopy and liked the design. He said he has some concerns about the effectiveness of the canopy for providing protection from the elements. President Knox White said rain protection is the primary concern for the design. He suggested using an approved Alameda Point branding color for the ferry terminal. Board Member Curtis said he likes the design but does not think it will provide sufficient protection. Board Member Mitchell said he liked the orange canopy as well. He said wind will be the biggest concern at this location. Board Member Köster said making the gangway a bit wider than at Main St. would be preferred in order to allow bikes to offload more easily. Board Member Sullivan said she was concerned with how the peaks and valleys would collect caked on dirt. Block 9 President Knox White said the design is greatly improved. He said he is concerned about the blank wall at the corner. He said he is worried about the arcade effect the frontage of W. Atlantic might have. He suggested trying to keep some of the articulation without pushing pedestrians too far away from the building. Board Member Curtis asked how many residential units the building would have. Staff Member Thomas said the building would have 182 units. Approved Minutes Page 6 of 7 Planning Board Meeting September 26, 2016 | PlanningBoard/2016-09-26.pdf |
