PlanningBoard | 2018-02-12 | 4 | Eric Gantos said the report lays out the challenges well for continued discussion of the issues. Joanne Martin said the infrastructure needs to be updated and the aging buildings are not sustainable. She said she is excited to see the changes coming to the property and area. She said the boating community is in decline. Chris Nicholas, Island Yacht Club, explained the importance of recreational boating for the community. Elizabeth Tuckwell said she agreed with the comments of Nancy Hird and supports making sure the working waterfront survives. Alan Pryor said the condition of the infrastructure at the marina is completely worn out. He said the money needs to come from somewhere to fix the problems. President Mitchell closed the public hearing. Board Member Teague said 4.11-2 does not provide any current data for Encinal High School. He said 4.12 should cover all five ways on and off the island. He said there was no information for which to base what the alternatives would mean. Board Member Sullivan said the impacts on the recreational boating industry were not adequately studied. She said the report does not address where the RV storage would go. She said the traffic issues were studied in silos and the overall impacts of other developments were not considered. She asked what the environmental and cultural impact was on the community would be as the population shifts from owners to renters. Board Member Curtis said he agreed with Board Member Sullivan's comments. He said none of these reports analyze the cumulative effect of all the developments. He asked where the land would come from to build the required schools if all the projects move forward. Board Member Köster agreed that the cumulative impacts should be studied. He said reconnecting the waterfront would be a big plus. He said he would love to see more historic structures preserved but understands the tradeoffs being made. Board Member Sullivan raised the issue of how the number of allowed units on the property are calculated. Staff Member Thomas said that the City Attorney's office released a memo addressing that question and that it would be included in the Housing Element update at the March 12th meeting.
