Bridgett Shank, Timbre Architecture, presented details of the storage container design, noting the green space on project site would be available for the public and the containers are a re-use of existing materials. President Henneberry asked if the tower is an elevator. Ms. Shank stated it was not an elevator but stairs. Board member Burton stated he would like seeing retail space and not have the café take the whole space. Mr. Sengul stated that the lobby breaks up the space, corner is small area. He believes an ATM is a good idea for a tenant. Board member Burton asked the reason for the residence to have their entrance on Park Street stating that it is a gateway project and doesn't think having an ATM right at the corner is a great idea and would like to see something more powerful. He feels the project is not compliant with the North Park Street guidelines in a couple of ways and feels there must be a strong justification to break these rules with the first gateway project. Mr. Sengul stated that the project is different than any other and ties to the City's maritime history. Page 1 of 7 Approved Minutes July 27, 2015 Planning Board Meeting |
