PlanningBoard | 2018-05-29 | 6 | Jeff Breen, Bay Area Association of Disabled Sailors, said they have gotten a lot of support from the applicant and that they support the project. Eileen Zedd said change is inevitable. She said the project will benefit everyone and provides a sustainable solution. Scott Koehler said his business will benefit from the work barges and supports the project and efforts to put in a new boatyard at the site. Karen Bey said she supports the project to help meet our housing obligations. William Smith said the EIR failed to address many impacts to the community. Brian McGuire said Bike Walk Alameda asks for a full 16' Bay Trail throughout the project. He said we need the housing but that we should move the plan forward with the requirements to provide a full service boatyard. John Knox White said that the things the subcommittee asked for improved the project, but that it naturally required more housing units to pay for those amenities. Kristopher Köster said the current plan is a big improvement from the original plan and would fit the needs of Alameda today and in the future. President Mitchell closed the public hearing and declared a five minute recess. Board Member Teague made a motion to recommend City Council accept the EIR with three additional pieces of information: 1) adding the emergency vehicle information from the staff report to the EIR, 2) the population of Encinal High School, and 3) impacts of traffic on Bay Farm. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. Board Member Curtis said the emergency vehicle information should emphasize the time periods during morning and afternoon rush hour. Staff Member Thomas said they can break out response times by hour, but anticipating what they would be for future traffic levels will be difficult. Board Member Teague accepted the amendment by Board Member Curtis. The motion passed 5-0. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 8 May 29, 2018 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2018-05-29.pdf |
