PlanningBoard | 2019-02-25 | 8 | Board Member Teague said he wants to see the water taxi dock built. He said the inclusion of BBQ grills is inconsistent with our greenhouse gas goals. He said the uplighting on the palm trees is not something we like in Alameda. He said that he does not like palm trees because the debris has to go in the trash. Board Member Saheba said he believes there should be a trail that gets you to the water's edge in the park. He said it could be a secondary, minor trail, separate from the busier bay trail. He also questioned the inclusion of the grills in the public realm. He said we need to bring clarity to the paseo. Board Member Mitchell said the graving dock would be a very positive aspect of the project. He agreed that the grills could be removed, and that the paseo should be part of the open space plan. He suggested that the applicant listen to President Sullivan's botanical recommendations. He said the master plan included two trails in Harbor View Park. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if there was a standard for the Bay Trail to have separated areas for people walking and on bikes. Staff Member Thomas said they do different treatments for different areas and activities. Board Member Curtis cautioned that removing the grills could impact residents that do not have private open space for BBQs. Staff Member Thomas said they would take all of the feedback and be back with the plan. 7-B 2019-6580 Planning Board Recommendation that the City Council Accept the City of Alameda 2018 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Report and Consideration of the Transportation Choices Plan Annual Report.
