PlanningBoard | 2020-01-27 | 5 | Ms. Connelly, in response to Board Member Hom's questions, said there would be approximately 850 units, many as small as 5'x5'. She said the parking study is based off of ITE for the square footage and counts at a similar facility in the area. Mr. Ofterheid said the project would use a variety stamped metal panels on the building siding. President Curtis opened the public hearing. Shelley Barnhill, Barnhill Marina, said the project will be a big improvement over the current use of the site. She said the lighting was the main concern that could impact her floating home residents. President Curtis closed the public hearing. Board Member Hom said the landscaping of the City's property should be appropriately tied to the phasing of this project. He suggested increasing the landscape setback for the RV parking and screening wall. Board Member Teague said he likes having more contrast on the metal panels, would like to see solar included in the project, bike storage and EZ Passes for staff. He said the fence may have to be higher, would like to see renderings from other perspectives, the building looks good and the parking analysis looks reasonable. Board Member Cavanaugh said the large windows would need to keep the bird safe windows ordinance in mind, asked if the street parking would be able to handle busy periods, asked to better understand what function(s) the fence would serve, and asked if the brick designs of nearby buildings could be incorporated into the design. Board Member Saheba said increasing the buffer of the screen wall, even intermittently, should be explored to allow more plantings. He said his understanding is the glazing does not provide anything for the inside of the building and the building could become quieter. He said he does not see the need for any of the glazing except for the office area and the pattern of the panels could envelop the whole building. He suggested doing more to let the building's function dictate the design. He said the landscaping will be critical and that he would like to see more thought about the sustainable features. President Curtis said the different color panels and the random pattern detract from the design. He said the design is too busy. Board Member Teague said he likes the glazing on the corner to emphasize that element but agreed that the other windows could be removed.
