PlanningBoard | 2020-03-23 | 5 | Director Thomas explained the concessions that were allowed for parking spaces, setbacks, and heights of buildings. Board Member Hom said a table would have been useful in the staff report. Director Thomas said they could provide that in the future. Board Member Hom asked about the Universal design, it seems that somewhere in the plan it would be beneficial to have a condition that clarifies that the approval for the development plan does not include their request for deviation of Universal design at this point. Director Thomas agreed that is something the Planning Board could clarify in the resolution. They could add a condition or statement making that clear. Director Thomas explained that this presentation is about advising the Planning Board and what they want to recommend to the City Council. Board Member Hom asked about Clement Street and the requirement for planter strips. Director Thomas said the right of way is very narrow, the staff asked that they moved the trees to the back of their property. Board Member Teague asked Director Thomas about the tentative map, 24 guest parking spaces on public streets. Director Thomas said that is a mistake, it should say 0, there is no guest parking on public streets. Correct page TM3. Board Member Teague pointed out a spelling mistake on page 6 of Draft Resolution. Director Thomas then noted that any laws that are on the books today are applied to this project, any laws that go into effect after this would not be applied to this project. President Curtis opened up to Public Comment. Ms. Armstrong again thanked everyone for the meeting. Director Thomas read a letter from Ms. Dorothy Freeman. In it, she gave a brief history of past projects and plans for this lot and a call for as much open space as possible. She also included a plea to not put all the low-income housing together.
