PlanningBoard | 2019-10-28 | 4 | Mr. Stewart said that there are no steps from the parking area, down the driveway and into the front doors of the units. He said that the area between the building and the sidewalk on Minturn is being using for bio-retention (storm water) purposes which may prevent a door facing Minturn from being feasible. Andrew Thomas, Planning, Building and Transportation Director, said that the Board could condition the project to work with the applicant to attempt to work to make a door facing Minturn work. Board Member Teague said he would support replacing the stucco on the east and west elevations with masonry, but he is not seeing an overwhelming need to add a door to the west elevation. Board Member Saheba said he does not see an added cost to moving a door from the driveway side to the sidewalk. He added that providing direct access to the street provides activation to the urban landscape. Staff Member Barrera pointed out the changes in grade between the driveway side and the walkway side. Board Member Teague accepted the suggested additional conditions as amendments to his motion: replace the stucco on the east and west elevations with masonry; and, if feasible, to add a door to the Minturn Street frontage if the ADA accessibility and C3 storm water management questions can be addressed without significant added expense. Board Member Rothenberg continued to second the motion. The motion passed 5-0. 8.
