PlanningBoard | 2017-07-17 | 2 | Board Member Sullivan asked if BCDC would still require the perimeter to be open space if no Tidelands swap were executed. Staff Member Thomas said we would be likely to get a 15-20 foot shoreline path, but not 7 acres with 100 feet of open space around the water. Board Member Sullivan asked who would be responsible for dredging a new marina at the site. Staff Member Thomas said that would be an issue to be dealt with when the marina lease is set up. He said the site does not presently have much need for dredging. Board Member Zuppan asked for clarification on which documents governs various open space and public access requirements if there is a conflict. Staff Member Thomas said they tried to minimize overlap of issues and eliminate conflicts between documents. Board Member Zuppan asked if the money that might have been available for a water shuttle has been allocated for acquiring the Pennzoil property, and if so, what the thinking was for that. Staff Member Thomas explained the transit funding sources and plans the project will provide. He said the General Plan identifies the Pennzoil parcel as the priority in order to complete Clement Ave and move the truck route. Board Member Curtis asked how we can approve a development agreement without the phasing set. Staff Member Thomas said there is no financial risk to the City. He said they cannot start building until they get a phasing plan approved. He said there is a detailed phasing plan, but they preserved flexibility in case the state requires a different phasing plan. Board Member Knox White asked what the benefit is of going above the 60 foot height limit in the General Plan. Staff Member Thomas said they did not want every building to look the same. He said you could get 589 units within the 60 foot height limit, but every building would be 5-6 story squares and not step down toward the water. Board Member Knox White asked about a section in the plan that seems to allow the developer to go higher than the limit if they have more or less commercial space. He did not understand why they would need to go higher if they put in less commercial. Approved Minutes July 17, 2017 Page 2 of 10 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2017-07-17.pdf |
