PlanningBoard | 2019-09-23 | 8 | 9-A 2019-7262 Planning, Building and Transportation Department Recent Actions and Decisions Board Member Teague said the website is not working reliably. He asked that a link to the "more details" page be provided until the access issues are resolved. 9-B 2019-7263 Oral Report - Future Public Meetings and Upcoming Planning, Building and Transportation Department Projects Staff Member Tai said that the 10/14/19 meeting would have the Alameda Marina wrap building and possibly the Alameda Landing Waterfront project. 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS Board Member Teague said he attended the Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal ground breaking ceremony. He said it would be a huge step towards addressing our transit issues. He also said he spoke with the Rec and Parks department about the recurring palm tree discussions. He shared that they do not like having palm trees on any project because they are expensive to purchase and replace, expensive to maintain, and that the material is not compostable and ends in the landfill. He said that our goal as a city is zero waste and, therefore, we should not be including palm trees in any new projects. He gave a brief summary of pending legislation that would impact Alameda's land use policies. Board Member Rothenberg said there is at least one derelict property just after the Park Street Bridge and wondered if the Planning Board has any purview over a property that a landlord is neglecting. Staff Member Tai said there are requirements in the Municipal Code regarding maintenance of vacant property and that Code Enforcement is responsible for addressing complaints. He said Code Enforcement does have priorities set by City Council to focus on issues of health and safety. President Curtis said that he recently met with Pulte about their project. 12. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None 13. ADJOURNMENT President Curtis adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 8 of 8 September 23, 2019 | PlanningBoard/2019-09-23.pdf |
