18479 | President Sullivan asked if they were reviewing a final plan or just a general layout for the open space. Staff Member Thomas said that this is the final public hearing on the open space plan. He said they do have several conditions of approval that will require more details to be approved at the staff level before it goes to construction drawings. He said there are a number of subsequent approvals that will be required before the project proceeds. He said the lighting plan will come back to the Planning Board. Board Member Curtis said the condition about issuing the boatyard RFQ needs to be stronger. Staff Member Thomas said staff agrees with Board Member Curtis' position regarding the boatyard and is balancing the need to give the applicant a resolution that they can take to BCDC. Cindy Ma, project architect, gave a presentation, detailing the changes that have been made since the previous study session. Board Member Mitchell asked why we are creating a vegetative buffer along the shoreline in the Harbor View Park. Ms. Ma said they got feedback from various stakeholders. She said the softer edge allows for a more attractive shoreline edge condition as compared to having a seawall with a railing. President Sullivan explained her concern about maintaining decomposed granite and asked exactly where it was planned. Ms. Ma showed where the decomposed granite would be placed in the plan. The landscape architect explained where and why they wanted to use the decomposed granite. President Sullivan said she does not think the Chinese pistache trees would do well in the salt water environment. She gave feedback on other tree options to be considered. Board Member Teague asked if the Water Life Park would be named that and signed as such. Clay Fry, project architect, said HAB would review and approve names for the parks, including Water Life Park.
