1:30 P.M. — Discussion of Planning Issues
• November 24, 2009 meeting — Thanksgiving holidays (requested by R. Weisburd).
The meeting was moved to November 17.
• Alton Road Planning Study (continued)
Staff continued a Power Point presentation focusing only on the blocks between 6t" and 11th
Streets in the historic district adjacent to the low density residential development to the east and
on how to ease the impact of development on these residents while also preserving developers'
rights. Staff recapped points that were discussed in May, which were discussed at length again.
Issues included height - individual floor as well as total; setbacks - rear, interior and front; side
setbacks facing a street; building separation and scale on aggregated lots; and curb cuts on
Alton Road. The board agreed with staff on some issues but disagreed and was itself divided on
others. Staff will come back with more drawings for the board regarding the 25 foot setback
where there is no alley. Next month's discussion will focus on parking.
