13 | Staff Member Thomas said there are basic conditions that apply to the project. He said the prevailing westerly winds make it difficult to prevent dust from impacting the marina. He said they work on conditions to deal with the dust, including mitigations and even boat cleaning services for residents. Board Member Rothenberg said she would be happy to participate in drafting enforceable conditions for the general contractor to follow to incentivize compliance. Board Member Teague said he agreed with Board Member Cavanaugh about the design of the small townhomes being very out of place along the Fifth Street frontage. He said there is little variance in roof lines. He said the microtownhouses have potential. He added that the condo designs were bland. He said the six unit flat example in the presentation was much more appealing than what was in the plan, which lacked character or variation. He said the pocket parks need real definition when the plan comes back. He said the connection to the promenade is vital. He said he would not have a problem averaging the two traffic calculations for townhomes and flats to apply to the micro townhomes. He said we need more housing. He said the developer could build more units in taller buildings. He said the design guidelines indicate taller buildings should be further away from the water's edge. He said the pedestrian access from the development to the shuttle at Target needs to be safe. He added that he appreciated the additional view corridors in the plan. President Sullivan said she is concerned that we are not focusing on families and children. She said it affects the long term health and viability of the community. She said the massing of so many units in each building is not attractive to her. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if we can make the connection to the ferry terminal easier for people without depending on cars. Staff Member Thomas said the North Housing project will open up connections through the Estuary Park that will dramatically shorten the distance to get to the ferry terminal. He said the water shuttle issue will continue to evolve as the project comes online as well. 8.
