18564 | President Cook requested that staff address the hazmat, parking, waste and noticing issues. Mr. Brighton noted that this project had a 300-foot notification radius, which extended to 626 Pacific Avenue. He noted that there were two outdoor waste storage areas between the building and Mr. Koka's property, which would be able to accommodate small waste bins that would be typical for such a use. Mr. Thomas noted that staff would craft a condition regarding the red zone, and that the analysis in the staff report had been discussed extensively with the Public Works Department. He added that the Design Review Team (DRT) had addressed that issue, including the fire department. He noted that it could be conditioned to reconfirm that the two additional spaces would be available on the street, and if not, the project could be conditioned to provide the two spaces on-site, which he believed would be virtually impossible. Alternatively, the in-lieu fees would be increased. He recommended that an additional condition be included with respect to hazmats, that it be confirmed to the effect that no building permit should be issued that would impede or prevent either the ongoing monitoring, or if there was a tank that must be removed, that it be taken care of before the building is built. Board Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that it was not just the presence of a tank, but any leakage or plumes must be properly addressed. Board Member Lynch believed that the Planning Board must remain mindful of the requirements originating from regulatory agencies. He added that certain requirements will have to be met for the property to be insurable. Board Member Cunningham believed this was an excellent project which would be a good fit on Webster Street. He believed that the requirement for parking may be adjusted upon receipt of the permit, and did not know how that would align with the parking ordinances and the timeline. Board member Cunningham assumed that with respect to the amendment to the use permit for SK Auto, they had been consulted and that they were in agreement. Mr. Thomas noted that Mr. Koka owned that property as well. In response to an inquiry by Board Member Cunningham, Mr. Thomas replied that a condition of approval should be added stating that prior to the issuance of building permits, that the Webster Street treatment would turn the corner to where it would meet with the Otaez Building. Board Member Cunningham noted that could be worked out by the design applicant, but wanted to ensure that the materiality was consistent. He wanted to ensure that the glazing would be clear, and without tint. Page 5 of 15 |
