He stated that the bioswales would be designed at a later time, included in the landscaping plans, and brought to the Planning Board at a later date. Board member Kohlstrand asked why there would not be on-street parking on Oak Street. Mr. Naclerio explained that the development requires no on-street parking to allow for the development. Board member Kohlstrand is concerned that the traffic on Oak Street would be fairly fast. She asked how the pedestrians would be protected and how the traffic flow would be slowed down. Mr. Naclerio explained that traffic restrictions would only be placed on the north-bound traffic lanes on Oak Street. He stated that traffic flow would be regulated with stop-signs. Pedestrian crossings are present. President Ezzy-Ashcraft asked how the bike lane would be accommodated. Mr. Naclerio stated that the recently adopted Master Bike Plan shows this as a bike route, not a bike lane, and signs would be posted, but not have pavement enhancements. Board member Burton asked whether the 22-foot alley way would allow for sufficient backup space. Mr. Naclerio stated that this is the minimum width permitted; the street trees would be located on paseos, in the front of the residences, to not further infringe on the alley width. President Ezzy-Ashcraft asked whether the electrical transformers could be located tucked into the vegetation to make the area more aesthetically pleasing and so people do not trip over them. Mr. Naclerio stated that Public Works has limited jurisdiction over this issue and their placement, but stated that he would do his best to address the placement of said items. Board member Kohlstrand asked that the conditions be amended to clearly show that the residences' front doors face Blanding Avenue, as well as Clement Avenue, Oak Street and Elm Street. She inquired whether the landscaping plan and waterfront park design, including docks, would return to the Planning Board for approval. Andrew Thomas stated that those plans would return to the Planning Board for approval as part of this subdivision process. President Ezzy-Ashcraft elaborated that the docks would only be for non-motorized watercraft. She requested an amendment to page 5, paragraph #13, to include the street names Blanding and Clement Avenues and Oak Street so that the residences would be called out as being street-facing.
