PlanningBoard | 2020-11-23 | 3 | Board Member Hom asked for clarification on the design of the parking garage. Mr. Schnitzler described the garage. Board Member Hom wanted to make sure that the furthest unit complies with fire access standards. Staff Member Dong answered yes the Fire Department had reviewed the plan. Andrew Thomas, Director of Planning, Building, and Transportation, said after the last meeting the first thing they did was meet with the Fire Department to discuss the layout. Vice President Asheshh Saheba wanted to disclose that he had met with the applicants the week before who gave him more insight on the project. He had a follow-up question on the ADA space and wanted to know if that was required by code. Mr, Schnitzler said when they pulled the garages from the single-family home that triggered the need for an ADA space. Vice President Saheba wanted to know if there would be natural light in the parking structure. Mr. Schnitzler said they are open to ideas and can address that at the Design Review. Board Member Cisneros wanted the applicant to speak to the resident's privacy concerns. Mr. Schnitzler said they assured the resident that the likelihood of light pollution from the townhomes would be low and that the parking structure would not block her view. Also, she would prefer that no windows on the parking structure facing her unit. Board Member Cisneros asked staff to speak to what transportation services were being offered since they were asking to waive parking requirements. Director Thomas explained the Easy Pass program and what benefits homeowners would receive with the TMA. Board Member Teresa Ruiz asked about waivers on the private open space and asked if they were also asking for waivers for the existing parcels as well. Mr. Schnitzler explained why they were asking for the waivers and who would have access to the common open space. Board Member Ruiz wanted to make sure that if these parcels are sold that they would still have access to the common open space.
