PlanningBoard | 2016-10-24 | 2 | Mr. Winstead said the central block is just over one acre,and the others are 0.5 acres and 0.35 acres. Board Member Sullivan asked where the arbutus trees would be used. Mr. Winstead said they would be used in more passive areas away from paving due to the mess they make. Board Member Sullivan asked what kind of guarantee there would be that the decomposed granite surfaces would last more than a couple years. Mr. Winstead said there is a stabilizer compound that can be added to keep the surface locked in. Board Member Zuppan asked why the plan lacked detail if it was asking for a resolution of approval. Staff Member Thomas said they can condition the approval to bring back the plant selections. He said they will be taking it to the Parks Commission next and wanted to get the design out to the public as soon as possible. Board Member Zuppan asked how many picnic tables were planned in the middle section. Mr. Winstead said there would be 15 tables. There were no public speakers. Board Member Knox White said bike racks often get put off to the sides. He said he would like to see a condition that racks be required at all activity generating locations. He said he is not clear on what the 7-8 foot bike path was doing. He said it is not a real bike facility and not integrated into the intersections. He said perhaps a wider sidewalk would make more sense because that is how it will get used. Board Member Sullivan said she would like to see what plantings end up in different locations. Board Member Zuppan said she likes the activities plan and landforms for the park. She said she would like to see the landscape design come back, as well as the bike path design. She said she would like the resolution to specifically allow dogs in the park. Board Member Curtis asked about the different sized picnic tables.
