PlanningBoard | 2017-04-24 | 2 | Staff Member Thomas said it would still be included. Board Member Curtis asked how the traffic impacts are extrapolated in the analysis. Staff Member Thomas said they use a baseline and model impacts of all projects that contribute to growth in the city and region on traffic impacts. Dennis Cavallari, applicant, gave a presentation on the proposed project. Board Member Zuppan asked what changes BCDC requested. Mr. Cavallari said BCDC wanted to see fewer large plantings, to preserve view corridors, and more active lawn space. Board Member Mitchell asked about the changes to the shape of the park. Mr. Cavallari said they made a business decision to change the shape to avoid having to go through a process that involved the Army Corps of Engineers. Board Member Sullivan asked how long the building is. Mr. Cavallari said he did not have that information at this time. Board Member Curtis asked if they have solved the load bearing problems with the site. Mr. Cavallari said he believes they have the best geotechnical engineer in the area and will be able to have a successful building plan. Board Member Mitchell asked if they have studied the soil and whether it would create problems for building. Mr. Cavallari said they do not plan to disturb any contaminated soil, which is where the problems would arise. President Köster asked if there were Tidelands on this project site. Staff Member Thomas said the Tidelands are north of the property line. President Köster asked why there was no marina facility planned for the site. Mr. Cavallari said they are surrounded by Marinas and felt that re-creating a shoreline might be the highest and best use. President Köster opened the public hearing.
