PlanningBoard | 2021-12-13 | 3 | Mr. Sadler explained that what they had designed was already approved and permitted. Any changes could delay completion but he was all for putting the right home on this property. He gave a cost and time rundown for the options. Board Member Xiomara Cisneros asked about sales for the development. She also wanted an update on the public water shuttle. Mr. Sadler said sales were going well and very steady. Director Thomas gave an update on the funding and development of the water shuttle service. Board Member Hanson Hom wanted to know if there was a Community Space planned or would Mr. Sadler consider one. He also asked what would happen if the City Council decided to maintain the Commercial Space designation. He also asked if they were open to including low incoming housing in the mix. Mr. Sadler said he would need to look into that since they were already in the process with the DRE (Department of Real Estate) with an approved budget. He then discussed how the designation and how having low-income housing would affect their work. President Saheba asked about the construction of the boardwalk and the park. He wanted to see things come together in a linked fashion. Director Thomas discussed the requirements for those constructions. Mr. Sadler discussed what was delaying those items. Board Member Hom was concerned about financing and wanted to make sure any changes would not negatively affect Mr. Sadler. Mr. Sadler discussed what he would need to do with certain changes. President Saheba opened public comments. Betsy Mathieson said she hoped that this would be an opportunity for something new. She discussed the benefit of having waterfront commercial activity and gave examples. She thought that would be more beneficial to tenants. Jay Garfinkle was unsure of the details and wanted to make sure there was adequate parking for the water shuttle. He felt that someone was back peddling on this and this was something that should have been addressed months ago.
