Erik Waterman, the architect for the project, also gave a presentation that discussed the building design. Daniel Cukierman, the owner of the project, discussed what they wanted to achieve with this space. President Teague opened the board clarifying questions. Board Member Curtis thought it was a great design. He asked if the structural design had taken into consideration the wind load and the shear factor of the canopy. The wind could really get up in that area of town, that was his only concern. Mr. Cukierman said that was a concern for him as well and it would be discussed with the structural engineer. Mr. Waterman said it had been factored in. Board Member Hom inquired about concerns brought up by the manager of the Rodeway Inn about noise issues coming from the second-floor deck area. He asked if there was going to be a solid wall along the property line of the Southside public area; he wanted to know how the noise was going to be mitigated. Mr. Waterman said the front portion would be solid and it would be below the height of the Rodeway Inn. The Rodeway Inn was a solid wall there and there would be no activity above the roofline of the Inn. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 6 of 15 June 28, 2021 | PlanningBoard/2021-06-28.pdf |
