PlanningBoard | 2019-06-24 | 7 | Staff Member Thomas said that permit parking is always an option for the neighborhood. He described how the unbundled parking would work and noted that each unit would come with a bus pass. Board Member Curtis said he likes the design, but is concerned about the parking. He asked what the developer would do if they rented all the available parking before the building is filled. Staff Member Thomas explained that the parking would be managed and prices should increase with the demand. He said they are trying to encourage people to not rely on cars. Board Member Saheba asked if any guest parking was required on this project. Staff Member Thomas said they have been moving away from relying on guest parking for these projects. He explained that residents just fill those spaces and put junk in their garages. Board Member Teague said he liked the warm wood tone paneling breaking up the giant wall. He said he would like to see the historic buildings in the renderings to see how they sit next to each other. He said the parking issue was decided in the master plan. He said he sees no plan for trash and moving vans. Board Member Saheba said he was commenting on the grey siding, not the wood toned panels. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if there are plans for a water taxi with this project. Staff Member Thomas said that there would be a water shuttle dock and funding provided by the site for transportation options, which could be used toward a water shuttle. Board Member Cavanaugh asked to see some renderings of the project at night in order to see the lighting and landscaping. He asked to hear about plans for artwork associated with the project. Board Member Curtis asked when the Board could expect to hear more regarding the boatyard RFQ. Sean Murphy said they have done their interviews and plan to bring it back to the City Council after the August recess. He said the board would be hearing a lot from them over the coming year. 8.
