PlanningBoard | 2018-06-25 | 5 | Board Member Cavanaugh said he agrees with the other board members' comments. He said he would like to see some reworking of the ground coloring. He said he is not a big fan of palm trees and would like to see more native plants. He said the Coast Guard Cutters are 140' tall. Board Member Burton said he agrees that he does not want a solid wall, but that consistent building forms can be done as long as there are sufficient breaks for bikes and pedestrians. President Mitchell said the street they previously named after Bohol Circle turned out to be an alleyway and not a properly prominent street to recognize them. He said the colors in the plan are not working for him. He said he is okay with the palm trees, but is concerned with the composting issue. He said he would like more detailed information on the lighting specifications. He said he would like to see options for the railing for the board to consider. He said the bike and pedestrian bridge could be a game changer for Alameda. He said we should set it up for the best chance of success. Staff Member Tai said he captured about 20 comments for board direction. He said they will work with the applicant to refine the plan. He asked the board to continue the item to July 9th. Board Member Teague made a motion to direct staff with the collected comments and come back with the item at the July 9th meeting. Board Member Sullivan seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. Board Member Mitchell declared a five minute recess. 7-B 2018-5701 PLN17-0628 - Study Session on Zoning Text Amendments - Applicant: City of Alameda.
