PlanningBoard | 2017-06-12 | 3 | Mark Vis said he supports the project. He said he wants the bike and walking trails to connect and to make sure the businesses are not 24 hours. Dan Morrison, Starlight Marine, said they support the plan and look forward to continuing operation in Alameda. He said they are committed to the community of Alameda in many ways. Dorothy Freeman said Alameda does not have a good ratio of businesses and jobs to housing. She listed m-x zoned sites that are removing business communities and adding housing. She said we are going to be nothing but a bedroom community with lots of commute traffic. Kari Thompson, Chamber of Commerce, said this is a great mixed use development and said they support the project and partnership with Bay Ship and Yacht. Liz Taylor said she supports this plan because it is a more balanced plan that encourages the blue economy. Bobby Winston said this is a terrific project that supports the working waterfront. Casey Sparks said he supports the project. He said it will help repair our crumbling infrastructure. He said we can't keep people from moving to this island. Karen Bey said she supports the plan amendment. She said it is a win-win for the city. She said that the water shuttle is very important to have, given the number of homes being built. Tom Charron said he isn't sure if he supports the plan. He said he doesn't want this plan to make it easier for more maritime businesses to be displaced from Alameda Marina. He said he is concerned with placing residential uses directly downwind of the shipyard. Courtney Shepler said she liked the previous plan that opened up the waterfront of the turning basin. She said she can support the plan because she wants the project to move forward. Alan Pryor said selling part of the property to Bay Ship and Yacht is a good idea in order to support the marine industry. Doug DeHaan said he is concerned that the warehouses would eventually turn into more housing. He said we never stop and study the impact of projects after they are built. He said a one bedroom senior affordable apartment being constructed at Del Monte costs $600,000 to build.
