7. Public Comments: A member of the public suggested that the additional lights that are
left from the Bayshore South project be added to the sidewalk on Republic. The
committee was very receptive of that. The same person expressed concerns about
possible flooding on Cottage Grove, David Jackson explained that the CRA would be
looking at storm water in that area after the completion of the storm water projects in
the triangle.
8. Advisory Committee General Communications: Mr. Oakley expressed displeasure that
the landscape plan didn't show 3D drawings to the committee, and that trees weren't
shown on the plans. Staff pointed out that Mr. Oakley had been very involved with the
landscape plans for several weeks. Staff expressed surprise that he was so
disapppointed by the landscape plan because he had previously been very clear that
he had been very approving of the landscaping. Members of the Advisory Committee
who also expressed similar disappointment as Mr. Oakley's were advised that ABB
and the subconsultants could be asked to revise the plans but, as a result, the
sidewalk would have to re-engineered and the permits may have to be revised, setting
the project back 12-24 months. Moreover, the vote to proceed with the plan had been
taken so the vote would have to be re-taken after-the-fact. The group decided to
proceed with the plan, as-is because all the work has been paid for. If the group
dislikes the landscaping a new landscape plan can be contracted separately in the
future.
The Advisory Committee agreed to meet next on September 8 at 5 PM.
The meetin!-adjourned at 8:35.
