PlanningBoard | 2019-10-14 | 5 | Board Member Ruiz disclosed that she met with the applicant. She asked if the Board is reviewing the vertical architecture tonight. Staff Member Thomas said staff has not had time to review the design review yet, but wanted to include it since Pulte had it available to share with the Board. He said the Development Plan was the highest priority for tonight. Board Member Ruiz asked if the waste management and traffic plan would be part of the vertical design review or part of the development plan process. She said she has concerns that having all of the garages so close together without proper staging areas would be a problem. Staff Member Thomas said they have not spent a lot of time on waste management questions yet. He said the Board could condition the Development Plan to require a waste management plan be part of the design review submittal. Board Member Rothenberg suggested that we note that the species in the landscape plan be appropriate for the marine environment. She said the video showed lots of palm trees which the Board has pointed out come with many problems. Mr. Hilk said they have heard that feedback. He said the video reflected the approved trees from the waterfront park plan. He said they are happy to modify at the Board's direction. President Curtis said the entrance to Harbor Bay Parkway is a good example. He said 29 years ago they put in 11 palm trees and have lost several while the rest are not thriving in the conditions. Board Member Saheba disclosed that he met with the applicant. He asked if the 5,000 square foot retail space will have sufficient parking. Staff Member Thomas said the use is likely to be related to the park and dock activities. He said there are four spaces immediately adjacent to the pad and there is a shared lot across the street with 30 spaces. Board Member Saheba asked if the space could be used as ancillary space for the residential, such as a clubhouse or similar. Staff Member Thomas said the requirement is that the space be retail/commercial. He said the resolution is conditioned on them bringing back a plan for the commercial as the project takes shape and becomes populated. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if there would ever be a connection to the ferry terminal via Mitchell Avenue.
