PlanningBoard | 2017-02-27 | 5 | Staff Member Thomas said that it depends on how they divide up the project. Board Member Mitchell asked what building heights would be envisioned for the site. Mr. Whiskeman said the hotel would likely be 4-5 stories and the tallest on the site. He said the soil conditions make building higher very expensive. President Köster asked if the soil mound on the site would be moved. Mr. Whiskeman said that it is not a permanent feature and much of it would be used for the waterfront phase. He said they strongly believe that they do not need an amendment to their EIR. Staff Member Thomas said "we will debate it." Board Member Zuppan asked if the Clif Bar discussions happened before or after the 2006 plan was approved. Staff Member Thomas said it came after. He said all of their waterfront sites have "edge issues.' Board Member Zuppan said she did not see the goals and objectives in the 2006 Master Plan in the staff report. Staff Member Thomas said the long process back then led them to build in some flexibility for the planning board to make changes to the plan. He said it required that the changes would not cause any new environmental impacts and meet other objectives. Board Member Zuppan asked for data on how much our commercial spaces generate revenue compared to residential. Mr. Whiskeman said their program would generate five times the property taxes that the commercial plan would have. Board Member Zuppan asked for and received confirmation that we have roughly 2,000 units approved and 2,000 units proposed right now. Board Member Curtis asked if the 8 acre park and shoreline maintenance was already an obligation of the developer. He asked if they would go forward with the existing plan or walk away if the change was not approved Approved Minutes Page 5 of 10 February 27, 2017 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2017-02-27.pdf |
