PlanningBoard | 2005-01-24 | 10 | AYES - 5 (McNamara, Mariani absent); NOES - 0; ABSTAIN - 0 Mr. Reginald James noted that he was a former resident of Harbor Island, and noted that the location for the trash enclosure at Fifth and Appezzato Parkway would have to be moved to accommodate the pathway through Fifth. He believed the northeast corner would be a good place for the trash enclosure. He did not know whether the concept of valet trash pickup would be workable. He believed that a recycling location would be a positive feature on the site. He supported a reduced amount of fencing. He did not support a high sound wall on Appezzato Parkway, and was not sure how a low wall would work. He expressed concern about the proposed private walkway. He suggested placing a walkway between Building 11 (rental office) and Building 12, which already had a visual connection from Woodstock on Brush. The public hearing was closed for Board discussion. In response to an inquiry by Vice President Cook, Mr. Alexander confirmed that the ground floor restrooms would be available to residents. He added that the Code required outdoor showers for by pool users, and they intended to provide that kind of shower. Site Amenities President Cunningham complimented the addition of amenities as requested by the Board at the last meeting. Mr. Alexander noted that the inclusion of amenities in each quadrant was at the suggestion of Reggie James, which he supported. In response to an inquiry by President Cunningham, Mr. Tai confirmed that as part of the conditions of approval, a landscape maintenance agreement would be required. The agreement would specifically require the applicants to maintain the landscaping; any neglect would enable the City to improve the landscaping at the applicants' cost. Mr. Piziali would like to see a condition that all the construction trucks would stay off Buena Vista and Fifth Street (because of Longfellow School). Mr. Tai noted that if the applicants needed a construction trailer, its approval would be subject to a use permit. The operation and functions of the construction trailer would be reviewed at that time. President Cunningham noted that the Board would like an indication of the phasing as well. In response to an inquiry by President Cunningham regarding satellite dishes, Mr. Alexander noted that FCC requirements call for the building owner to place a satellite dish on the roof for resident accessibility, or that the residents must be allowed to place dishes on their balconies.
