PlanningBoard | 2018-05-29 | 4 | Jim Sweeney said we must preserve the full service boatyard. He said the location is a bad location to add housing. Eric Gantos said he supports the project. Joanne Martin said she is in full support of the project. Rodney Pimentel said the Encinal Yacht Club supports the project with conditions to ensure a viable boatyard to service the thousands of boats in the estuary. Barbara Thomas said the EIR firm did not properly analyze the traffic impacts. Jane Pimentel said she likes the plans for the waterfront. She said we need a full service boatyard to maintain those boats. Gretchen Lipow said Alameda is already very dense. She said the jobs-housing balance of the plan and ratio of affordable housing are not adequate. She said we need to maintain our maritime related sites and business, including industrial use. Liz Taylor said her business, DOER Marine, was a prime example of what happens to small businesses that stand up to developers. She said the plan has improved, but is not yet a working waterfront plan. Kari Thompson said the plan supports the city's goals and improves access to the waterfront. Charles Souza said we need the plan and do not want to have this site end up like the site at Oak and Clement. Dave Wilhite said he supports the project. He said it balances the housing and marine industry nicely. Ray Durazo said he is concerned that the needs of recreational boaters are met by the plan. Suzanne Diers said the EIR did not discuss soil quality or the high water table. She said the plan could impact parking the neighboring areas. Paul Houtz, Alameda Marina Harbormaster, said the boat tenants are very important to him. He said the dry storage and boat repair options in the plan will be adequate to serve the needs of boaters. He said the seawall is well beyond its lifetime and must be replaced. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 8 May 29, 2018 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2018-05-29.pdf |
