PlanningBoard | 2016-11-14 | 2 | Board Member Curtis asked how much the call for review would cost. Staff Member Thomas said staff and materials cost would typically be around $1,000. President Köster opened the public hearing. Dee Keltner said she is very concerned that the expansion will endanger the three large oak trees surrounding the structure. Thomas D., applicant, said they have been trying to be very accommodating of neighbor concerns with the design and construction plan. He said they have invested in an arborist to properly prune the trees and hopes the board continues to approve their project. Scott Dawson said the concern is the proximity of the construction to the oak trees. He said the arborist report does not say what distance from the building would be appropriate because the building will be too close. Antonia Nicosia said the large accessory structures along the property line cause drainage and flooding issues. She asked that the plan be reviewed and no plan be approved that compromises live oak trees. President Köster closed the public hearing. Staff Member Thomas said there were a number of conditions of approval regarding the trees. He said an arborist would be consulted throughout the construction process. President Köster asked what the distances were between the trees and the proposed structure. Staff Member Thomas said the distances were 4 feet, just over 4 feet, and 4 feet. Board Member Mitchell asked if the foundation would be pier to post or continuous foundation. Staff Member Sablan said they would be required to use piers and floating timbers. Board Member Burton asked how the garage door would work with the "grade beam" requirements. He asked whether the parking surface would be replaced and, if so, whether it would be impervious or not.
