PlanningBoard | 2018-01-22 | 7 | Barbara Walker asked that the minutes not be approved because there are discrepancies that are not in their (residents concerned with a remodel on Bay St.) favor. She said that Board Member Teague's comments regarding the roofline were not in the minutes and not reflected in the approved plan. She said the final plans do not reflect the direction to use vegetation to provide screening around the entire back portion of the property. She said the neighbors believed that there would be a staff level review of the roofline that would be re-noticed. She said that final plan was posted on December 11th, but postmarked for the October 23rd meeting, which would prevent them from appealing that decision. She said the process was not transparent. She said her point that this is a non-conforming still stands. Tom Mills said the neighbors always thought that they would be re-notified when there were new plans. He said the developer is doing demolition work that are not code compliant. He said he does not want to live next to 100 people and that the project is not good for the neighborhood. Staff Member Thomas said that this hearing is over and we are just reviewing the minutes. He said staff has explained multiple times that all apartments in Alameda that are vacant for over a year would be shut down. He said when Measure A was passed Council passed an ordinance explaining that existing apartment buildings are not addressed by Measure A. Board Member Curtis said that once the plans are approved that it is the Building Department's job to ensure the plans are executed accurately and proper procedures are followed with respect to asbestos cleanup. He said it is now beyond the purview of the Planning Board. President Mitchell agreed and said that this would need to be taken up with the Building Department. Board Member Sullivan made a motion to approve the minutes. Board Member Teague seconded the motion. Board Member Curtis said he wanted to add that the video be reviewed to make sure the comments on the motion in question were captured accurately. Staff Member Thomas said they could have the speaker note where they felt there were errors and review those sections. He said if there were changes needed, he will bring them back for approval. Board Members Sullivan and Teague accepted staff's suggested change to the motion. The motion passed 6-0. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 7 of 8 January 22, 2018 | PlanningBoard/2018-01-22.pdf |
