PlanningBoard | 2018-05-14 | 6 | Board Member Cavanaugh said he likes the design of the project. Board Member Sullivan said that the benefits of separating the buildings is lost because the building is so elevated. She asked how the building was able to exceed the height limit. Staff Member Thomas said that it was a function of the density bonus application, the board's desire to break up the buildings, and need to fit in the number of units. Board Member Sullivan said perhaps they should go back to one building and shorten the overall height in that case, saying you can't do this to the community. She said the vistas belong to all the residents. She said the cement wood paneling often looks cheap. She said it should have the maximum allowed parking. President Mitchell said the entrance could be an interesting design component and is currently a missed opportunity. He said he is concerned about the amount of lawn space in the plan and the required water use. He said he would like to see more active space and less passive space for this somewhat isolated site. He said he is concerned about the wood paneling as well, saying it could be done well or work out poorly. 8.
