PlanningBoard | 2018-05-14 | 5 | Bay Farm bridges are not properly studied. He said some outbound buses are left off of one of the diagrams. He said AC Transit does not go to the Main St. ferry. He said that if there were alternatives studied, they should be listed. Board Member Burton agreed that the impacts on Marina tenants and residents need to be properly studied. Board Member Curtis asked where the land for new schools would come from. He said the emergency services report needs to focus on peak hour response times, suggesting middle of the night calls bring the average response time down. Staff Member Thomas said that state law takes away their ability to ask for more regarding schools when there is an impact fee collected by the district. He said AUSD has a surplus of available land. Board Member Sullivan asked if AUSD is planning to build any new schools. President Mitchell said some schools are overenrolled but the district as a whole is under enrolled. Board Member Cavanaugh said he is very concerned with getting cars on and off the island. He said he likes the idea for the water taxi. He echoed members Teague and Curtis' remarks. Board Member Sullivan said she wants to make sure there is sufficient parking. She said she is concerned about the construction impact on boats. President Mitchell asked for more explanation on the shift towards vehicle miles traveled in the analysis. Staff Member Thomas explained that the state has changed the standards for EIRs from Level of Service to Vehicle Miles Traveled. He said they are trying to also look at travel times using the MTC model. Board Member Burton said the project is tremendously improved from a year ago. He said the podium design allows the buildings to be broken up but has the potential to feel like one big wall to pedestrians. He said he would need more detail on some of the materials choices to make sure the feel would be acceptable. He suggested several changes and further details that could be provided to convince the board that they are on the right track. Board Member Teague reiterated his comment that the piers should all go out the same length to give the same feeling as the historic feel of the site.
