PlanningBoard | 2020-05-11 | 5 | Director Thomas also added that there are a lot of lists coming in late and the applicant has not had a chance to look at any of it. He said it would be best not to continue this item. What is best for the board tonight is to make a list of conditions everyone is comfortable with. The applicant can always appeal, and there is no time to continue. President Curtis wanted a motion that gives the applicant the waiver with the conditions listed by Board Member Teague. Expect for the four contested by the applicant, that would come back during design review. Mr. McGillis wanted to be added to the list of contested items, the 32-inch door clearance. Board Member Ruiz drafted a condition for visitability "the visitability waivers are granted for units facing Clement, Oak, and Waterfront. Developers shall endeavor to provide visibility to all other units either through the front door or via the garage. Developers shall provide detailed grading plans for all units and visitability during design review". Board Member Teague did not support this wording. Board Member Ruiz said the word endeavor is not a guarantee, for the units the developer cannot make accessible just explain why. Board Member Teague wanted to adjust the wording to "Developers shall work with staff on grading plans on those units that do not meet the visitability". Ryan Hanson, SBG, addressed the challenges they are facing with the interior units on these requirements and the space they have to work with. Director Thomas believed they can craft language that works for everyone. After the design review, show the board the grading plan. Please meet these items, and for those five show us why you can't. President Curtis believes these requirements will not affect marketability and is not unreasonable from a board standpoint. Board Member Teague made a motion to approve the universal design waiver applicant for the Boatworks Development, the fourth and fifth conditions being replaced with: 1. 100% of the units are made adaptable for seniors, lower mobility, and other needs occupancy 2. Windows do not require more than 5lbs of force to close 3. Lever-type handles throughout 4. Light switches must be placed at accessible heights 5. Areas around shower and bath to be reinforced 6. Shower and Bath must have offset controls 7. Closets must have adjustable shelves 8. ADA height required toilets 9. Adjustable stairs 10. The shelving in the kitchen must be adjustable.
