| 00:27:41.17 | Dan Porter | Okay, thank you, Chair Feller, members of the commission. So from community development department, they have interviewed, I believe three additional candidates for community development director, and they are in negotiations with one, of those interviewees as we speak. So, I'll keep you posted as I learn more. We do have a new administrative aide that has replaced Maria, who has gone to the police department. Um, Her name is Natalie Rojas. She is on the call right now. We're not on, well, she is. She's in the background of the Zoom call. Um, So say hi to Natalie. For code enforcement, I didn't, have time to get our code enforcement officer here tonight, but I did get a report. So I'll give you a report and then next planning commission meeting, we're, we're scheduling him to attend. So you'll get to meet him. And he'll give you an update on some of the other issues that I don't mention tonight. So, Basically, he started in June, he replaced Quentin, and started in June or July, I'm sorry. And when he started, there were 88 open code enforcement cases. As of August 31st, there's 27 have been closed. which leaves 61 cases remain open and under review. A lot of these cases are construction without a permit and short-term rentals. So we're working diligently to really tackle those. And next meeting I'll have Eric, I talked to you about the short-term rental issue and, uh, um, and an update on the other items that I brought up tonight. |
| 00:29:21.16 | Kristina Feller | uh, Thank you for that, Dan. Uh, let me just ask Greg really quickly if there's any, any communications, anything to report out from the city attorney's office. |
| 00:29:33.63 | Greg | No, just I'd like to make sure I introduce myself to the commission. I haven't sat in on one of your commission meetings before. I started, some of you might know, I started on August 1st as Sausalito City Attorney. Sergio Rudin is on vacation now, so he will still continue to cover your meetings in the ordinary course and advise some of the bodies that I see on the, and some of the subcommittees that are coming out. But obviously I'll be in the loop when questions arise and feel free to call me or contact me if you have any questions, especially about conflicts or procedures or things of that nature that need answering in conjunction with the meeting. |
| 00:30:17.59 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you so much, Greg. And I just want to, again, welcome Natalie to the team. And thank you for being here this evening and stepping in for Malia. Let's go ahead and move on to some of our subcommittees that have been assigned to the commissioners. Let's go ahead and start with the objective design and development standards subcommittee that Vice Chair Junius and I. VICE CHAIR, DO YOU WANT TO REPORT OUT ON THE anything. |
| 00:30:44.38 | Andrew Junius | I think we're still coming back from the break. Do we have a meeting set? Because I have not been able to find that yet. So are we up? soon, I hope for another meeting and things forward. |
| 00:30:55.08 | Kristina Feller | We are up soon for another meeting. Bob Brown, who is our consultant working with us, who has drafted the objective design standards report is on vacation till the end of this month and we will meet with him upon his return. In the meantime, OptiCoast is continuing on on the 3D renderings. for the various different housing sites, and SB nine lots throughout the city. That is really a collaboration being led by the objective design standards with the housing element advisory committee, which we will report out a little bit later here under subcommittees. And at this point, we're gonna have to extend Bob's contract. A lot of the coordination with the housing element has prolonged some of his work so he has provided an estimate which the city manager and the mayor has and will need to very soon upon Bob's return provide an update to the city council. hopefully in October we can get that on the agenda. So that's where we are on the objective design and development standards or odds as we refer to it. Moving on, let's go ahead and hear from our California Housing Legislation Working Group and specifically AB 2011, which I think Vice Chair Junius, you will report out on and anything else again, Commissioner Luxenberg, you sit on this committee as well. |
| 00:32:18.39 | Andrew Junius | Yes, thank you, Chair Feller. Yeah, that's the big news. AB 2011 has passed out of our legislature in Sacramento. I think it's sitting on Governor Newsom's desk for signature. I don't have any doubt that he's going to sign it, but we'll be closely following that. AB 2011 is a pretty big move in the direction of continuing the state's effort to streamline housing projects. This one, you know, parallels SB 35. in a lot of different ways. I think one of the key ways is if you could qualify for AB 2011 status, you are exempt from CEQA, which is one of the big, I think, barriers to a lot of development in urban areas. So that's interesting. There was a parallel union backed measure called SB6 that was also passed. I don't really expect SB6 to be used much. because it has higher skilled workforce requirements. And AB 2011 has prevailing wage requirements, but not skilled workforce requirements. So that's, I think, a big difference. But the real key here is that it expands the ministerial and streamlined processing for eligible projects in commercial districts. I'm focusing on parcels that are office retail and parking. But it does have a lot of the safeguards that SB 35 had. We're not going to be demolishing rent controlled housing. Deed restricted affordable units are going to be protected. Uh, historic resources are also Listed historic resources are off limits. So, it's very similar in some respects to how sites and projects qualify under SB35, but there are different and frankly lower affordability requirements that I think are likely to open up some additional interest by market rate developers to or housing under this law. It does not come into effect until the middle of next year. So I think there'll be some time for us to continue to digest it, but pretty exciting news in the world. |
| 00:34:23.98 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. Commissioner Luxenberg, did you want to add anything as part of the subcommittee? |
| 00:34:29.26 | Jeffery Luxenberg | No, Commissioner Junior, as I talked about today, We'll see how this flushes out over the next year. the it focuses on commercial areas and we only have a select number of those, so I'm not sure how much it's going to affect Sausalito. But it will have a big effect on the Bay Area region. |
| 00:34:52.89 | Andrew Junius | One final comment, Chair, if you might. There's also, if you're interested in Bay Area housing news, it's not a shock that San Francisco is under the microscope one of the larger cities in the state that really is getting um, It's close scrutiny by HCD from a state level in terms of their housing production. the pace at which the San Francisco Uh, City government is able to process entitlements and issue building permits has been a real problem. HCD is taking a very, very close look. And, you know, just like every other city in the state and specifically the Bay Area, they are under the gun just like we are on housing elements. So there's a lot going on. The next six to 12 months are going to be fascinating to see what happens. So that's my report. |
| 00:35:40.95 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you. Thank you both for leading the efforts on the legislative group there. I'd like to move on to standard conditions of approval for resolutions. This is something Commissioner Luxenberg You have definitely scrutinized and helped improve for Community Development Department and you and Vice Chair Junius are focused on this as well. would you like to report out on anything under this heading? |
| 00:36:05.28 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Yeah, nothing happened during the August recess. We need to sit down with Sergio when he gets back from vacation and start that process. |
| 00:36:13.92 | Kristina Feller | Very good. Moving on to the Ferry Landslide Working Group. This is a working group that Vice Eugenius and I sit on This is a newer working group. Public Works Director Kevin McGowan has been working with a larger working group and Councilmember Sobieski on grant funding that was received to improve the land side land side. improvements to our ferry landing here in Sausalito. We did have a meeting last month. It was the first meeting that was called with the planning commission and the historic preservation commission represented at the meeting and we provided a little bit of feedback There are two additional meetings this week. One is a walk of the site. on Thursday, tomorrow, and the other is a Zoom meeting for the working group I on Friday afternoon. So we're really just getting started on this and hope to have more robust discussion when we can bring back more after we really get into it. Moving on to the Housing Element Advisory Committee or HEAC as we refer to it as. Commissioner Saad and I sit on this subcommittee or committee, I should say. Commissioner Saad, would you like to report out on HEAC? |
| 00:37:43.95 | Nastassya Saad | Sure, Chair Fowler. Thank you. So we had a town hall on September 1st. The community was invited to review the housing element process and to give an update on the We're currently in the 30 day review period, which we are taking public comment until September 16th. It's Friday at 5 p.m. DeNovo, our consulting group will then take all that comment and put that back in for our final review at our next meeting. I will say at this point, I am unsure when our next meeting is. I thought it was supposed to be scheduled for October, but we might be in a holding period right now while we determine when our next regularly scheduled HIAC session is. But we are looking to receive written comment in from the public to our HEAC email address. There's also printed copies if anybody needs them, if they go to the library or to City Hall, you can also pick up a printed version. It is a big document. There is also our virtual binder. So everything is also available in the virtual binder that you can find on the city website. But at this point, we are definitely looking to get as much public feedback for our housing element. We are headed towards submitting to the state. So we're in our final crunch time and getting towards the end of the process. So this is definitely the time to to join us. if you haven't already or continue to voice your opinion. um, that. Anything to add, Chair Feller? |
| 00:39:24.10 | Kristina Feller | No, I appreciate you reporting out on that. The only thing I will add to it, to those on the Zoom this evening and those watching at home, possibly the recorded tape later, Public comments are essential to this process. the The housing element and the numbers that HTD have handed down to us from the state impacts every single one of us, whether there's a housing development next to you or down the road or another part of Sausalito it's fairly significant, so it is really going to change the traffic patterns and circulation and impact to the day-to-day. that we're all used to. So I really wanna commend the public for all the comments that we've been receiving throughout this process. We have received a lot. They have been very valuable. They've been very thoughtful. and just keep them coming is what I would ask for. I also want to make note Just for clarification, The final list of housing sites is not completed yet. What has been developed so far for the environmental impact report includes a contingency so extra sites just in case the state puns some of them back to us and rejects them. So it's really important that the process is also understood. beyond public comments in a written form. this entire housing plan comes to this commission, the planning commission, for our review and approval. at which time it then goes to the city council for final approval. So this is why we keep asking for comment and input. and consideration because you are absolutely shaping the final product and we thank you for that. Okay, let's move on. We've got three additional working groups that are project specific, both Commissioner Saad and Commissioner Graff have been assigned to. So I'm going to hand this over to the two of you. And if we can just go in order here of 110 4th street, 12 L portal, and then the 52 Varda landing. If commissioner saw it and commissioner graph, you could report out on each of those. |
| 00:41:40.05 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. Commissioner Graff, may I? Speak for us. |
| 00:41:44.96 | Dan Porter | Go ahead and speak. Okay. |
| 00:41:46.29 | Nastassya Saad | Okay. So Commissioner Graf and I, so if we're gonna start, let me start with in order. So we had an exchange via email with Tim Rempel owner on, I'm gonna say, August 24th for 110 4th Street and they have proposed a revision for some of these bubbled elevations. They've given us some photos at this point. They did state that they are going to be away both Commissioner Graff and I have expressed that we would really prefer to see a sample With that, we are not yet buttoned up there. So we are still hoping for an availability to meet in person and ideally get some form of sample. And, We will wait to see if that can be achieved So nothing finalized yet from our position. in terms of 12 El Portal, Commissioner Graff and I did meet with Mr. Rex on August 9th. And we did decide on the colors that we were looking to change on the planters and the door and the exteriors. Those are sitting with... Community Interim Community Development Director Hortert, but we had chosen a weathered steel for the metal canopy and the posts. The planters are going to be a dark brown. The door and windows are going to be more of a bronze and the exterior sconces are going to look as an old rust color that was decided. I think we were really happy with those. So that was a successful meeting and that is all case closed from our position Anything else is needed from CDD, they could let us know. And I think as far as VARTA landing, I believe Commissioner Graff, we owe, um, we need to reach out to the applicant on VARTA landing. Um. Dan, I'm not sure if that's something you can assist us with or if we want to find their contact on our own, we can do that. But I didn't see any exchange for VARTA landing, so we can take the lead otherwise, but I'll... |
| 00:44:08.04 | Dan Porter | forward to some emails for Matt. the people that, 52 VARTA landing. |
| 00:44:15.08 | Nastassya Saad | Could you say that just, I missed the start of that? Sorry. |
| 00:44:17.35 | Dan Porter | All right. I'll send you some emails. |
| 00:44:18.96 | Nastassya Saad | For sure. |
| 00:44:18.97 | Dan Porter | Yeah. Thank you. |
| 00:44:19.95 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Okay, okay. And then, you know, I think we're both available. So Commissioner Graff and I will prioritize that as soon as possible. |
| 00:44:31.02 | Kristina Feller | Terrific. Thank you both so much. Commissioner Graff, anything to add to Commissioner Saad's report out? |
| 00:44:36.78 | Richard Graef | No, not really. Okay. We've asked for a sample for the Fourth Street project And And when we do connect with the Varda landing, Again, we would, probably want to see a sample of the siding. Oh. It's all moving ahead. |
| 00:45:02.46 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you very much. Thank you both. Let's move on to our final working group subcommittee, which is Parklet. Commissioner Luxembourg and I sit on this. Commissioner Luxenberg, would you like to report out any? |
| 00:45:18.41 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Sure. We need to schedule a working group meeting just to do a couple things on process. And we need CDD to determine a staff person since Roslyn who was on the working group is no longer with the city. So we need a new person who will carry this through the rest of the process. So once that occurs, we will set up a meeting. |
| 00:45:19.24 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. Bye. |
| 00:45:46.67 | Dan Porter | I'm not sure. |
| 00:45:48.23 | Kristina Feller | Great. Thank you very much. The only thing I have to add to that is that the city council is eager to get this back. in front of them with the revisions that we've already made. and also based on the town hall that we did hold earlier this summer at their request as well. So I believe it's almost finished, but I will take the lead and pull the working group together, the larger working group with DPW, Department of Public Works, CDD and South Slido Beautiful. |
| 00:46:19.99 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Bye. We also need legal on that. We need surgery on there as well. |
| 00:46:20.96 | Kristina Feller | Okay. |
| 00:46:26.11 | Kristina Feller | Okay. Make a note of that. Okay. Thank you, Commissioner Luxenberg. Okay, any other items just by a show of hands to report out at this time? Seeing none, let's go ahead and open up this for any public comment. So this is a time to comment on any items you've heard under communications. To do so, you can raise your hand in the Zoom application or press star nine on your cell phone. Each speaker will have three minutes to make any public comment and I'll call upon you in the order I see you on my screen. So I'm just looking for raised hands at this time. |

| 00:47:55.82 | Kristina Feller | Okay. And just for the benefit of the public here this evening, This project was before us at our last Commission hearing before recess. and this project was denied so we are just reviewing the resolution for denial this evening. Is that correct? |

| 00:48:51.59 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you. Commissioner Graff? |
| 00:48:54.53 | Richard Graef | No, it seems pretty complete. I don't believe I supported the denial, I think all of the THAT'S PART OF IT. |

Okay, so for item 6A, this would be the time for the public to make any comments they would like to. on the draft resolution for denial. for project ID 2022-00052.

| 00:56:19.40 | Dan Porter | Motion carries. |
| 00:56:19.66 | Kristina Feller | Yeah. Great, thank you very much. Let's move on to item number seven, which is our public hearing items. And I'll hand this back to you, Dan. |
| 00:56:29.98 | Dan Porter | Let me scroll down here. Tonight we have Item 7A is 100 Humboldt Avenue Sausalito Yacht Club. It is a design review permit, project number 2022-00146. Adam East, Assistant Planner. |
| 00:56:48.53 | Adam East | Thank you, Dan. Good evening, Chair Fowler and planning commissioners. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. So let me know when you are able to see that. |
| 00:57:03.46 | Kristina Feller | We can see that. Thank you, Adam. |
| 00:57:05.34 | Adam East | Okay, fantastic. So thanks again, Dan, for the introduction. And good evening, Chair Feller and Planning Commission. This request is for a design review permit at 100 Humboldt Ave. And it is for the Sausalito Yacht Club. And again, as Dan mentioned, this is design review permit 2022-00146. The address for the Yacht Club is at 100 Humboldt Ave. And the applicant is architect Jeffrey Butler on behalf of the Sausalito Yacht Club. And a brief summary of the application is, or a broad overview, is a remodel of the kitchen, back of house storage, and refrigeration space, and replacement of the existing awnings with permanent roofing, and the addition of a new gangway, which would replace the existing gangway. Now, these bottom two images that you're seeing, on the left is the proposed floor plan, and on the right is kind of an aerial view of the larger parcel. So on the next slide, you'll have a bit more information on the overall parcel area, but the parcel itself is just over six acres. You can see right where my cursor is, that's the location of the Yacht Club. Just to the south here, you see the ferry landing as well. And on the left, this is kind of a more zoomed-in version of the floor area, and this is meant to show the area where the work is proposed to take place. Right here where I'm circling is kind of that back of house storage area. And on the left just here to the west is where the new proposed gangway is being proposed. And I will have a couple more slides that show a bit of a comparison as well. But you can also see here these blue awnings. That is the area where the applicant is proposing to replace those with permanent roofing. So a bit about the existing conditions, the clubhouse stands on a freestanding pier, which is located on the central waterfront. This address is located in the open area zoning district. And the parcel area is 273,992 square feet. And as I mentioned, just over six acres. The existing building coverage is 11,714 square feet. And the floor area existing is 5,469. So the proposal to add more floor area is under the existing awnings. It does not expand the aisle level above the building, nor the height. It just takes advantage of the existing areas that are located underneath this. AREA IS UNDER THE EXISTING AWNINGS. IT DOES NOT EXPAND THE AVAILABLE OF THE BUILDING NOR THE HEIGHT. IT JUST TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE EXISTING AREAS THAT ARE LOCATED UNDERNEATH THIS EXISTING AWNING YOU'RE SEEING HERE TO THE RIGHT. THE BOTTOM PHOTO HERE SHOWS THE ELEVATION FROM THE WEST WHICH IS WHERE YOU'LL ALSO SEE THE PROPOSED CHANGES. AND I DID INCLUDE THE APPLICANTS RENDERINGS AND ELEVATION PLANS IN SOME LATER SLIDES. So again, these are some site photos that show the context of the site. The photo on the right is that south elevation, which is the front of the Yacht Club. This is the main entrance into the building. And just to the left here, you can see these blue awnings, which are kind of open air. And you'll see in some of the later photos that area that the applicant has included. And one of the reasons for this project also is to modernize and make more efficient the gangway, which supports the junior sailing dock towards the rear of the property. So at current, when they enter these doors, they have to make kind of a hairpin turn to go just to the left here. and then go down this main dock. So the proposal is to shift the entrance of that gangway so that it aligns directly with this exterior dock area. These are some site photos that were included by the applicant in their application. Again, you can see the vaulted awnings here from the inside. And again, this is that door that I was just showing from the outside where they come in with the dollies for the dinghies. |
| 01:00:49.08 | Unknown | Thank you. |
| 01:00:53.77 | Adam East | So the project scope, which was included in the applicant's project description, again, it's a major kitchen remodel to the 651 square foot back of house area. And that proposes to enclose that area with permanent roofing where there's currently those blue awnings. And the applicant is proposing to mimic the style of the original roofing, which is kind of that plywood vaulted roof. So they also plan to use a blue membrane to kind of mimic the nautical aesthetic of the existing awnings, but also to differentiate the new awnings or the new roofing from the original roofing. And as for siding, they propose to use the same lap siding and that same pale blue color that is existing on the building. The existing gangway is four foot six inches in width by 18 feet in length. And they propose to replace that with the seven foot wide by 20 foot in length gangway, as I mentioned, just to the west. And then the minor glazing changes at the west side of the building is for a new door that would approach out to the west side there. So here's the side by side comparison. The left is the existing floor area and right is proposed. So you can see in these gray areas, that's what would be added under that additional roofing for new floor area. It's about a 323 square feet of additional floor area. Again, all under those existing roof areas. And then on this left side, this gray area, that's where the new gangway would go. And you can see how that would align with the existing decking towards the building. These are the proposed elevations which would be affected. Again, the south-southwest elevation, which would be the front of the building. The applicant proposes to mimic that same plywood bolted style and to match the siding with existing with that pale blue color paint. And from the west elevation, this would be the new gangway. And the minor glazing changes would just be this door right here. All of these window or existing glazing. So the only new glazing on this west elevation would be this door here. |
| 01:02:58.90 | Unknown | Thank you. you |
| 01:02:59.32 | Adam East | This application or the application for historic resource determination did go before the historic preservation commission this year on June 16. The HPC found that the property did not qualify as a historic resource under CEQA and the staff report and HRE the historic resource evaluation were included in your agenda packet as attachments for your reference. So in review of the design permit findings, staff concludes permit findings can be made. A summary was included in the staff report and is included here for your reference as well. Staff believes that the project design elements complement the original design of the building with the vaulted roof style and siding and also modernizes the existing use on site. The applicant is not proposed to expand the use or expand the area of the building, rather, nor the height. And as such, they do maintain protected views. And it's not anticipated to cause any view impacts or privacy concerns for adjacent properties. With the proposed 43% open decking system that the applicant is proposing, although there's additional coverage with the larger gangway, the project will actually reduce water coverage by six square feet with that open decking system. So in conclusion, staff does recommend that the planning commission adopt resolution to approve this request as stated. Alternatively, the planning commission may continue the hearing for additional information, direct staff to prepare a resolution of denial, or continue the agenda item with direction to the applicant regarding revisions of the application. And that concludes the staff presentation. |
| 01:04:41.01 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, Adam. Thank you for another excellent presentation. It's good to see you back here at the Commission. Thank you, General. |
| 01:04:48.05 | Greg (City Attorney) | in general. |
| 01:04:48.86 | Kristina Feller | Very well done. Thank you for that. This would be the time for commissioners to ask any questions and staff, but as a point of privilege, I want to just, back step for just a moment and make sure that I ask if anyone has any ex parte communications that they would like to disclose this evening. Commissioner Luxenberg, |
| 01:05:11.34 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I visited the site today and saw the shop there and he let me have access to the area, but we did not have any ex parte communication. |
| 01:05:21.07 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. Commissioner Saad. |
| 01:05:24.01 | Nastassya Saad | I do not have any ex parte communications for this site. I did visit as well. I did not speak to anyone. leaving our ex parte communications to this property only. at this point. |
| 01:05:37.69 | Kristina Feller | For the public hearing at this point, yes. |
| 01:05:39.45 | Nastassya Saad | Okay, sure. Yes, nothing to declare for this project. |
| 01:05:40.12 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. |
| 01:05:43.33 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. Commissioner Graff. |
| 01:05:45.74 | Richard Graef | Excuse me, no, I expect the medication. |
| 01:05:50.01 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. |
| 01:05:50.16 | Richard Graef | Thank you. |
| 01:05:50.18 | Kristina Feller | Vice chair. |
| 01:05:51.89 | Andrew Junius | No ex parte communications, but I would like to ask city attorney Rubens just to confirm, you know, I'm a card carrying dues paying member of the Yacht Club, but I Hardly believe that would compromise me in this. I don't feel I have any biases whatsoever, but I just want to go on the record that I am a member of the Yacht Club. |
| 01:06:12.05 | Greg | Yeah, I am. It's not a business entity that you have income from. It's not close to real property you own. It's a nonprofit entity. So I think it's not something that would conflict you out on an FPPC basis, in my opinion. |
| 01:06:34.04 | Kristina Feller | Thank you very much, Greg. Thank you, Vice Chair. I too am a card carrying member of the Yacht Club, but I'm not involved in this. And this is the first time I've seen drawings when we got our packets. So, I think I fall in the same category, Greg. as Vice Chair Junius unless you have anything else to add to that. |
| 01:06:53.97 | Greg (City Attorney) | Sure. No, no. |
| 01:06:57.77 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you very much. And thank you for indulging me in that point of privilege. Let's get back to any questions of staff at this time. Yes, Commissioner Graff, why don't you start us off? |
| 01:07:08.78 | Richard Graef | Okay, I've got a couple of questions. One is, over the entry to the proposed new ramp there's a gate with a sign on it. I'm wondering if you have If the sign and the sign permit is necessary, And if it would be part of this application, That's not clear to me. Um, Perry Kivolowitz, The other. Uh, QUESTION. Um, when it If they put the new ramp in, are they going to take out the old ramp? I assume that would be the case, but I just want to make sure. Um, And then the parking stalls, I was looking at that relative to the entry to the proposed ramp and there would be a parking stall right there. I don't know if that's a problem, maybe it's not an issue, and it may just simply be an internal Um, procedural thing with the Yacht Club, but I just thought I'd bring it up. Um, So yeah. Those are my questions. |
| 01:08:29.18 | Kristina Feller | Hey, Adam. |
| 01:08:29.43 | Adam East | I'M GOING TO GO ONE BY ONE TO THOSE QUESTIONS, STARTING WITH THE SIGN REQUEST. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I INITIALLY REVIEWED. I think I overlooked it because of the size. I'm going to look very quickly, If it's under a certain size, we do allow for some directional signs without sign permits. But I can also circle back and take a look at that. Your second question about the ramp being removed, that is my understanding, that the original would be removed and then replaced with the new gangway further to the west. We do also have the applicant on the call tonight, and they could probably clarify some of that. And then what was your third question, Commissioner Graff? Um, or that might've been your question. |
| 01:09:20.51 | Richard Graef | Oh, there is one more that I missed. |
| 01:09:21.54 | Dan (Planning Staff) | Thank you. |
| 01:09:23.40 | Richard Graef | Um, It was all with the new kitchen, remodeling new equipment and everything. Are there not going to be any kind of vents or chimneys or anything like that visible at the roof. No. |
| 01:09:40.39 | Adam East | Ooh. |
| 01:09:40.86 | Richard Graef | Bye. |
| 01:09:40.91 | Adam East | Bye. |
| 01:09:40.93 | Richard Graef | Oh. |
| 01:09:42.62 | Adam East | I do not believe that there were any shown on the roof plan. I didn't see any. So I'm in the same boat as you. They were not shown on the roof plan. If there are, again, we would have Jeff speak to that on his comments as the applicant. Thank you for raising that. |
| 01:10:00.19 | Richard Graef | Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. I think that's probably good. |
| 01:10:04.66 | Kristina Feller | Commissioner Graff, you had another question about parking stalls. Do you want Adam to respond to that? |
| 01:10:08.54 | Richard Graef | Oh. Well, I was just curious. It may not even be our business, but it seems it's an operational thing. Yeah, are they going to? Flair won space in front of that ramp. It would be. smart, but they may have their ways around that. So, may not be an issue at all. |
| 01:10:33.04 | Adam East | THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ALSO RAISED. ON THE PLAN RIGHT NOW, IT SHOWS THAT THE PARKING SPACE IS STILL THERE. HOWEVER, DPW NOTES THAT ONCE THAT GATE OPENS AND CLOSES, IT MAY MAKE THAT PARKING SPACE UNUSABLE. SO THEY DID INCLUDE A COMMENT IN THEIR COMPLETENESS LETTER THAT IF THE PARKING SPACE IS REMOVED, THAT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE UP ELSEWHERE ON SITE. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO DESIGN THIS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THAT PARKING SPACE IS SAVED. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE IN THE SITE PLAN THAT THAT'S SHOWING THAT THAT PARKING SPACE IS NOT BEING REMOVED. |
| 01:11:12.04 | Richard Graef | Yeah. Well, that's what it looked like. Okay. Thank you. |
| 01:11:17.83 | Kristina Feller | Thank you Commissioner Graff for those questions. That was excellent. Thank you. Commissioner Saad. |
| 01:11:25.08 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you, Chair Feller. Thank you, Adam. Great report. Again, per usual. So very clear. Appreciate it. I had one general question if you could. maybe just remind me in terms of process. Does, Can an approval from BCDC happen simultaneously or does it happen after? planning. approval, could you just clarify? I can't recall. |
| 01:11:51.86 | Adam East | So the applicant has received approval to apply to BCDC concurrently with their planning commission request. I believe they had met with the city manager and received permission to do that. So my understanding is that they are seeking that BCDC approval concurrently with planning commission. But Jeff may be able to fill us in on the status of that application. |
| 01:12:12.27 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. Okay, great. That's good to know. And I think that's actually my only question. |
| 01:12:17.07 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, Commissioner Saad. with Sherluxenburg. |
| 01:12:20.55 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Thank you, Chair Fowler. Adam, again, an excellent report. I had a couple of questions related to the gangway, similar to Commissioner Grapp. I won't ask when he asked, but in addition, the gangway, there seems to be a slight slope from the parking lot to the gangway. Do you know that if that's at 1 to 12 or 1 to 20, does it need any handicap railings? Do you know the slope on that ramp? |
| 01:12:47.53 | Adam East | Commissioner, I do not know the slope. I do know that DPW did review the plans. They did not make any comments about revisions needed for that slope. So I don't know the slope off the top of my head, but again, Jeff might be able to comment to that |
| 01:13:03.85 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Okay. And then the other question is, I just want to make sure I'm understanding the plans. In addition to the coolers and the freezers, some of which are existing out under those awnings, it seems like the whole dish washing kitchen thing is coming into the new space, which allows better flexibility in the kitchen. Is that, am I understanding the layout correctly? |
| 01:13:26.92 | Adam East | That's my understanding. They mentioned 650 square feet of backup house area with 323 square feet of additional floor area under that new roofing. So my understanding is that the combination of all of that will allow them to redesign kind of that kitchen space and storage space for better flow of operations and storage back there. |
| 01:13:48.30 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Okay, I think it seems sorely needed, so I think that's good. So anyways, those are my questions. Thank you, Chair Feller. |
| 01:13:55.59 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, Commissioner Luxenberg. Thank you very much. Vice Chair Junius. |
| 01:13:55.69 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Thank you, Commissioner. |
| 01:13:56.35 | Andrew Junius | Thank you. |
| 01:13:59.88 | Andrew Junius | No questions, thank you. |
| 01:14:01.97 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you. I think the other my fellow commissioners have asked some really good questions here and have covered a lot of what I was going to ask, but I still do have questions. two remaining questions. One is, If you can just confirm that, that I, that is this, Is this property leased from the city? |
| 01:14:28.24 | Adam East | It is Leastrom City, that's correct. And I believe it has been since the building was dedicated in 1960s. |
| 01:14:31.33 | Kristina Feller | That's what I'm saying. |
| 01:14:36.48 | Kristina Feller | Okay. And is there any, does this city separately from the planning commission have to agree to any of these improvements on that property. |
| 01:14:50.74 | Adam East | I might have to defer to Dan on that if he has any input on that. Dan or the city attorney. Dan, you're muted. |
| 01:14:59.65 | Kristina Feller | Dan, you're muted. |
| 01:15:02.75 | Dan Porter | I'm sorry. I'm unaware of any permissions they need to get from the cities, but I can talk to Michael Wagner who oversees all our leases. in the real estate the city and see if there's anything. I doubt there is. Um, typically, um, Once they rent, they typically go along with what they need to do. |
| 01:15:23.88 | Kristina Feller | Okay. |
| 01:15:24.45 | Greg | Yeah, I would be the look at the lease, but sometimes leases require consent. to do modifications to a building, but sometimes there's a threshold, sometimes there's no permission required. Um, Sometimes these things can be considered maintenance. But if the city does not approvals required, it also could be Not at the level of the city council, but it could be at the level of the city manager. |
| 01:15:53.58 | Dan Porter | Thank you. |
| 01:15:53.60 | Kristina Feller | Yeah. |
| 01:15:53.97 | Greg | So we're up to look at that. |
| 01:15:54.44 | Dan Porter | Okay. |
| 01:15:54.53 | Kristina Feller | Bye. |
| 01:15:54.54 | Dan Porter | Yeah. |
| 01:15:54.56 | Kristina Feller | Bye. |
| 01:15:54.76 | Dan Porter | Thank you. |
| 01:15:55.86 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. |
| 01:15:55.88 | Dan Porter | I'll check tomorrow. |
| 01:15:57.21 | Kristina Feller | Okay. And then I was just curious with the signage also, because the existing canvas cover that is sort of the roofing now has the, the club on it. And is that being replaced on the new exterior or is that just omitted? |
| 01:16:21.86 | Adam East | It was not shown on the elevation plan, so I do not believe that it's being replaced on the new roofing. but Jeff might have more insight on proposed sign package. And I'm currently looking through our sign ordinance for sign and that threshold for signs that do require permits and signs that don't. |
| 01:16:38.32 | Kristina Feller | Okay. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you for that. Just by a show of hands, commissioners, do you have any additional questions for staff at this time? Okay, let's go ahead then, Adam, if you don't mind looking at that while we ask the applicant up here. to provide their presentation And is that Mr. Butler who's going to give presentation for the applicant? Adam? |
| 01:17:05.38 | Adam East | Yes, Chair, I believe Mr. Butler may have some additional comments. |
| 01:17:09.22 | Kristina Feller | Okay, so zoom team, if we can make sure Mr. Butler can share his screen and control his microphone, that would be great. Um, Mr. Butler welcome. Welcome this evening. We provide we give 15 minutes for an applicant to present or discuss anything they would like. And that could be you alone or anybody else from your client who would like to make any comments as the applicant. So we've put a timer up here on the screen if you have a tiled view. So you can manage your time and anytime you don't use I'll make note of and reserve that for any sort of final closing comments after you hear public comment. So welcome this evening and the floor is yours. |
| 01:17:59.42 | Jeff Butler | Thank you so much. It's nice to be with you. I believe Courtney Goff, who's the Charles W. in charge of the house, the Yacht Club is also on the call this evening. Adam did such a great job on my presentation. I'm not sure I have to, I'm not going to need 15 minutes to reiterate what the project is. I think it's fairly clear. Just as a point of order, how do I do point on drawings to you all for the commission. Is that possible or |
| 01:18:31.28 | Kristina Feller | Yeah, Zoom team, stop the clock for just a moment. Mr. Butler, if you have a presentation and want to share your screen, you're welcome. to do that and I believe you can use your cursor Um, I do. |
| 01:18:44.78 | Jeff Butler | I don't have a presentation, so I'll just refer to the drawing sheets if that works. |
| 01:18:44.85 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. |
| 01:18:50.16 | Kristina Feller | Adam, do you have Mr. Butler's drawings and the sheets that maybe you can share your screen and Mr. Brutler, Adam can help you. So we're actually not just the commission, but the audience is also understanding and following you on your drawing. So Adam, if you don't mind doing that, Mr. Butler, if you can point him in the right direction, I'll go ahead and start the clock |
| 01:19:09.33 | Michael Rex (Applicant) | Thank you. |
| 01:19:09.35 | Greg (City Attorney) | Mr. Butler. |
| 01:19:17.84 | Kristina Feller | So the floor is yours. |
| 01:19:20.44 | Jeff Butler | Thank you. Well, let me just start with the, The next sheet, I think Adam would be great. Just the actually A-1-1, the site plan. So this is the existing site plan that shows the new ramp. And just to answer one of these questions in advance, we do plan to modify the parking. We know that there's going to be a fair amount of scrutiny on the accessibility component of the building permit in terms of the financial scale of the project to upgrade accessibility starting in the parking lot and moving into the building. So we will get into that. But the plan really is to move that one space number 14 over where the old ramp is being removed to provide, you know, 24... seven access to the new ramp. So the gray area is the new ramp. The old ramp will be removed. The area that you see there in terms of back of house with the dashed walls or the existing shed walls and fence basically that are being removed. To accommodate basically which is a new addition to the building in the same footprint and same roof profile as exists today. So let's go to the next sheet, Adam. And here you see the grade area is the area that's open air. And as you can imagine, that's really not the best framework for back of the house in terms of food storage and refrigerated storage and some general washing area and things like that. So it seemed to make sense to enclose this area formally and take some of the kitchen function out of the kitchen to make it more efficient and move it into the new space. We go to the next slide, please. |
| 01:21:27.96 | Jeff Butler | So as you see in this area, the gray area again is the area that is formally unenclosed that will be enclosed as part of this new addition. And the new kitchen plan, which is quite substantial. One of the commissioners had a question about dishwashing. The dishwashing is being moved out of the kitchen to better provide more space. Okay. for preparation and service and being moved into the new addition there in the lower right hand corner of the addition adjacent to the club office. The addition also includes a race locker in the lower left-hand corner of the addition. which is used by the race committee to conduct races. And their desire was to have a room for storage from the exterior so they didn't have to get into the building to conduct their business. And as you can see, the new ramp is located to enliven with the existing dock. This really solves multiple problems. One, it widens the service access to the kitchen. There are quite a few food deliveries and other things to the kitchen. Secondly, it helps the junior sailing dock be able to trailer the dinghies from the dock to the parking lot where they trailer them and take them to various regattas. So that's a plus. And thirdly, it really helps improve the emergency exiting of the facility by not sort of having to go through what is now back of the house. I think you saw on some of those photos that that's not really the best setup. So that ramp a number of problems. And the ramp proposal is to use a special perforated decking panel that allows light and air and water to filter through. That's why actually we have less square footage of water coverage with the new deck than we did with the old gangway. Let's see, I guess we'll keep going through the, we can go up to the, maybe the elevations. So actually, on this drawing here in the proposed southwest elevation, the first three vaulted bays on the left are the existing blue awnings. And we're adding a fourth over the flat roof of the office for aesthetic reasons. There's no addition there, but we thought that looked better. And Chairwoman, just to answer your question about the Burgies, historically that clear story has been glass. So that will be windows in the vault there to provide light into the kitchen and some of the other areas in the back of house. And the sign, I think it might have, I might have been remiss and not requesting a sign permit for that. We just wanted to designate that that was the junior sailing dock there. On the proposed northwest elevation, you'll see that we just have enclosed that wall and with the door on the right is the door to the race locker and the door on the left there is into the kitchen area for deliveries. And then at the east end of the building, we're just replacing sort of an undersized sliding glass door with a larger and taller door and a clear story window. If we could go up to another, the next slide. And one of the reasons that we decided to continue the vault system was that There really didn't seem to be a great solution to add a sort of a flat roof building to this. And the vault allowed us to have maintained some volume in the kitchen where the flat roof of flat roof might make the addition look out of scale and too large. So we decided to continue with the with the vaults, which is fairly historic to this building. And the architect has used these in a number of, used these back in the day in a number of applications. I actually worked on a house in Mill Valley by the same architect that had the same vaults. So that'll, I think, worked out pretty well. And then the existing kitchen has the volume in the vaults there with mechanical system hung from the low sections. And you could scroll up again and we can just, I THINK WE CAN JUST LOOK AT THE RENDERINGS NOW, ADAM, IF YOU DON'T MIND. SO THIS IS JUST A RENDERING OF THE front of the building showing the new enclosure and the gate and this junior sailing sign there. Next rendering. And again, this is the enclosure. I think there was a little confusion in our presentation of the siding. At one point there was some discussion about trying to differentiate the addition from the existing building because the existing building had been historic and had won an architecture award back in the 60s. But we've decided as Adam pointed out to continue with the building the shingles into a blue color to match the entire building. And you see in this slide that we've decided to maintain the blue color for two reasons. One is that we think it's a nicer look than the asphalt torch down roof. That's a nice nautical feel and it also kind of respects the addition to the building to the historic part of the building. So I think that's really the end of my presentation, but let me go through and answer some of the questions that the commissioners had. I think I've answered the one about the gate and the sign. We are removing the old ramp. The parking stall will shift down, but we have more work to do as part of our building permit for the entire parking lot itself. We don't anticipate any additional roof fans or events compared to what is there today. In terms of BCDC coordination, we had asked the city manager if we could try to save some time and submit a BCD application in concert with our planning application. But the BCDC cannot approve that application until the planning commission has approved the plans. The slope of the ramp is less than 5% and it will be a prefab. ramp. and craned in with the only physical addition being a bulkhead on the shoreline to hold the shoreline end of the ramp. And the ramp is fixed. It doesn't float with dock. Let's see. The lease agreement was just renegotiated a few years ago, and I believe the lease, I think I submitted the lease as part of the application. But these improvements were anticipated at the time of the lease agreement. And I believe that there's some language in the lease that addresses this addition to the building signage. And I think that's, I think I've answered all those questions that commissioner said. So that's the end of my presentation. I'm happy to take, uh, |
| 01:29:06.30 | Michael Rex (Applicant) | And, |
| 01:29:22.11 | Jeff Butler | Comments from the commissioners? |
| 01:29:24.51 | Kristina Feller | Great. Thank you very much. Uh, Zoom team, let's stop the clock, please at 420. I also note that Mr. Goff had his hands, hand up as part of the applicant team. Mr. Goff, would you like to make any final comments now or later as part of the applicant team? Can we unmute? Courtney Goff, please. |

| 01:30:39.79 | Courtney Goff | Mary, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. |
| 01:30:40.14 | Kristina Feller | Jerry Jerry |
| 01:30:49.46 | Kristina Feller | Okay. Mr. |
| 01:30:52.58 | Greg (City Attorney) | Chicago. |
| 01:30:53.61 | Kristina Feller | You still will have time. to make comments as part of the applicant team. if we could get some help with your volume, that would be great. But in the meantime, while you're working on that, Um, Mr. Butler, there were some additional questions that the commission had already asked. when we were asking Adam that maybe you can help us with while Mr. Goff is working on his sound issues. Thank you. |
| 01:31:24.68 | Jeff Butler | Certainly. |
| 01:31:25.84 | Kristina Feller | um, So I think you answered the question that Commissioner Luxenberg asked about the slope on the ramp. You said it's less than 5%. Is that correct? Okay. |
| 01:31:33.86 | Greg (City Attorney) | Yes. |
| 01:31:36.12 | Kristina Feller | And As it relates to the parking stalls, we're definitely concerned about the parking blocking your ramps. Um, Are the number of stalls that we see on your plan right now equal to those that you have there currently? |
| 01:31:53.14 | Jeff Butler | Yes. Okay. We're not removing any parking. But the one space that's shown in front of the ramp should have been actually moved over to the right to place in front of the old ramp location. |
| 01:32:06.27 | Kristina Feller | Okay. |
| 01:32:06.43 | Jeff Butler | That's an error of my drawing. |
| 01:32:08.59 | Kristina Feller | Okay, and there was a question about roof penetrations, and you said that there are no additional roof penetrations. Yes. |
| 01:32:15.72 | Jeff Butler | Correct. |
| 01:32:16.55 | Kristina Feller | Okay, have any of the penetrations moved? |
| 01:32:19.98 | Courtney Goff | Thank you. |
| 01:32:19.99 | Jeff Butler | you |
| 01:32:20.03 | Courtney Goff | No. |
| 01:32:20.82 | Kristina Feller | Okay. And then regarding the rendering and the color of the shingles. It is all one color, so the rendering is a little misleading. It looks white and blue. Is it all the same color? |
| 01:32:35.38 | Jeff Butler | It's all blue, shingle. |
| 01:32:37.09 | Kristina Feller | Okay. All right. and you've answered about BCDC, and it sounds like if you're, discussing this with the city attorney obviously the city is aware of the renovations you're proposing. Is that you are speaking to him? Is that correct? |
| 01:32:56.85 | Jeff Butler | Uh, we haven't spoken to the city attorney. We spoke to the city manager. |
| 01:33:00.64 | Kristina Feller | The city manager. Okay. All right. Thank you for that. Um, don't want to get ahead of ourselves here. I want to go back to Mr. Goff if you have your sound fixed. Um, |
| 01:33:17.00 | Adam East | If Courtney just spoke through his phone and kept his computer muted, that might solve it. |
| 01:33:23.48 | Courtney Goff | Thank you. |
| 01:33:23.53 | Adam East | Can you hear me now? |
| 01:33:23.76 | Courtney Goff | Can you hear me now? |
| 01:33:24.47 | Unknown | Yeah. |
| 01:33:24.93 | Adam East | Yeah. |
| 01:33:24.96 | Unknown | Yeah. |
| 01:33:25.03 | Unknown | Yeah. |
| 01:33:25.40 | Kristina Feller | Amen. |
| 01:33:25.52 | Unknown | Amen. |
| 01:33:28.03 | Kristina Feller | Mr. Goff, if you could mute your computer and just speak through your phone, I think that was recommended. That might be helpful. |
| 01:33:39.27 | Kristina Feller | So mute the computer, speak through the phone. |
| 01:33:51.56 | Kristina Feller | and see if that works. |
| 01:34:02.19 | Kristina Feller | where you can hang up your phone and just talk through the computer. |
| 01:34:07.50 | Courtney Goff | My phone is on. |
| 01:34:08.52 | Unknown | Bye. |
| 01:34:09.01 | Kristina Feller | Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. |
| 01:34:13.32 | Kristina Feller | Okay, I think we need to move on. Maybe we'll come back. I've made note that there's four minutes and 20 seconds left. That time is still yours as the applicant. but in the interest of time, We're going to go ahead and start any additional questions with Mr. Butler and Mr. Goff. try to mute one or the other, your phone or your computer, then we will come back to you and just raise your hand in the Zoom application or and we'll come back to you. So this would be the time for commissioners to ask any additional questions of the applicant. Commissioner Luxenberg, let's start with you. |
| 01:34:52.05 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Uh, thank you, chair fellow. I think Mr. Baller answered all the questions that I had. So I'm all set. |
| 01:34:58.41 | Kristina Feller | Okay, thank you. Commissioner Graff? |
| 01:35:02.04 | Richard Graef | No more questions. |
| 01:35:04.66 | Kristina Feller | Great, thank you. Commissioner Saad. No questions. Vice Chair Junius. |
| 01:35:10.61 | Andrew Junius | No questions. |
| 01:35:12.40 | Kristina Feller | I don't have any questions either at this time. Um, Mr. Goff, let's come back to you one more time and see if we have your sound fixed. |
| 01:35:32.35 | Greg (City Attorney) | I see. |
| 01:35:32.45 | Jeff Butler | I sent Mr. Goff a text message to see if there was a question he would like me to ask you. |
| 01:35:38.12 | Kristina Feller | Okay. Thank you. |
| 01:35:40.79 | Jeff Butler | Can you hear me? |
| 01:35:41.04 | Kristina Feller | New England. |
| 01:35:42.07 | Courtney Goff | Yeah. |
| 01:35:42.91 | Kristina Feller | Okay, Mr. Goff, you need to either hang up your phone |
| 01:35:43.03 | Courtney Goff | Thank you. |
| 01:35:43.07 | Courtney Goff | Thank you. |
| 01:35:43.10 | Courtney Goff | We've been here. |
| 01:35:46.69 | Kristina Feller | or mute your phone. or use your phone and mute your computer, one or the other. You've got both sounds on and that's why we're having the echo. |
| 01:36:02.74 | Adam East | You can also remove the phone from the meeting if that would help. |
| 01:36:06.91 | Kristina Feller | Oh, can you do that? |
| 01:36:09.44 | Adam East | I believe that I can. |
| 01:36:10.05 | Kristina Feller | OK, let's remove that. |
| 01:36:15.65 | Kristina Feller | Okay. All right, Mr. Goff, can you unmute your computer there? |
| 01:36:21.24 | Courtney Goff | I did. |
| 01:36:22.18 | Kristina Feller | Okay. |
| 01:36:22.86 | Courtney Goff | Here we go. |
| 01:36:23.41 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, Adam. |
| 01:36:24.32 | Courtney Goff | I've never said that before. I, Chair Keller and planning commissioners, thank you for allowing me to speak. Sorry it took so long. But A primary question I would like to address is that when the Yacht Club was negotiating an extension of our lease two years, three years, four years ago, it took a while. The items that we are addressing with this project were clearly listed in the lease as being items that we wanted to pursue and they were allowed. The expansion into the not fully enclosed area of the breezeway was what we call it. The enhanced access for the junior sailing. Those two were the primary items that are addressed in this project. There were other two, one or two other items that we addressed in the lease that the city agreed to. And we're not approaching those items with this project. So this project has, is represented by what we asked for in our lease. So it is in the lease and I, that can be verified. I don't have the paperwork handy right now, but, um, our executive board director at the time, Kay Mitchell, um, and other people in the, our lease committee discussed these improvements and they are listed in the lease. Those are the primary things. That's the primary thing I wanted to address. I, the other question, I'm not sure if Jeff answered this, but I think there'll be practically zero slope to the new ramp. I'm Jeff could answer that, but it's the height of the grade and the height of the deck that we're gonna build on is practically the same. So that I just wanted to make sure that the commission knew that we are, we have previously asked for these items to be allowed as part of our lease. Thank you. |
| 01:39:01.30 | Kristina Feller | Thank you very much. for the clarification that was worth it to get you unmuted. So thank you, Mr. Goff, for your patience as well. Appreciate that. |
| 01:39:11.34 | Courtney Goff | Sorry for my lack of |
| 01:39:13.40 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. |
| 01:39:13.75 | Courtney Goff | That's healthy. |
| 01:39:15.08 | Kristina Feller | No, no, no, it's quite all right. Quite all right. Thank you. Okay. Um, so I think at this time, uh, let's go ahead and less commissioners just by show of hands. If you have any more questions for the applicant at this time, before we open this up for public comment. Alright seeing none let's go ahead and open this item up for public comment. To do so please raise your hand in the zoom application or press star 9 on your cell phone. We'll have three minutes per speaker available. And while everybody is looking for that function, Dan, can you just confirm or Adam, Have we received any public comment other than the one earlier today? |
| 01:40:01.05 | Adam East | I have not received any additional public comment, Chair. |
| 01:40:04.88 | Kristina Feller | Okay, great. Dan, you're on mute, but do you wanna just confirm? |
| 01:40:09.67 | Dan Porter | Yes. Yes, just the one we got today. |
| 01:40:13.57 | Kristina Feller | Okay. All right, great. Thank you very much. Okay, I'm looking for raised hands in the audience. I see a checkmark next to a Tom K. I'm not sure if that's a raised hand, but if it is, If we could ask Tom K to unmute and share your screen. Um, would you like to make public comment on this item? Tom K, you're unmuted. |
| 01:40:39.98 | Tom Kowalski | Yes, good evening. This is Tom Kowalski talking in. Thank you for allowing me to make a few comments. I'm a staff commenter for the Sorcerer Yacht Club. I wanna congratulate Kay Mitchell and Courtney Gall for their diligence on this project. It's taken many years and the lease was extended with the city of Solito in 2020 to approximately 2057 or 2058. Yes, it's an expansion of our kitchen, but it's also an expansion of our youth sailing program. And that's something critical for the club and our efforts domestically and internationally. We were just in Qashqai, Portugal. We have a sound, robust exchange between Sausalito and Qashqai in the reverse. Our used sailors were there around the end of June, early July. The Qashqai Portugal sailors will return to Sausalito in late June 2023. So I support this project. I support the diligence of it. And I thank you for allowing me to make a few comments. Good night. |
| 01:41:54.47 | Kristina Feller | Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments and for being here this evening. I'm looking for any other members of the public who would like to make comment at this time. just by a show of hands. All right, seeing none, I'm going to go ahead and close public comment at this time and bring bring this discussion up to the dais and And I will ask Mr. Butler, Mr. Goff, you've got four minutes, 20 seconds left. Final comment you'd like to make. at this time. |
| 01:42:28.86 | Jeff Butler | I don't have any more comments, although I'm curious what the late letter was to the staff today. |
| 01:42:38.29 | Kristina Feller | Dan, you're on mute. |
| 01:42:40.11 | Dan Porter | It was a letter in support. Okay, thank you. |
| 01:42:44.01 | Kristina Feller | And by the way, Mr. Butler, those are attached to the agenda and they can be viewed by all members of the public and read. Um, so that public comment was, um, from a Mary Juan. |
| 01:42:57.29 | Jeff Butler | Thank you. |
| 01:42:58.17 | Kristina Feller | Yeah. Um, Mr. Goff, would you like to make any final closing remarks? |
| 01:43:03.79 | Courtney Goff | I I do not have anything else to add. Thank you very much. |
| 01:43:10.39 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, thank you. Okay, let's go ahead and bring this up to our virtual dais here for further discussion and action by the commission. Um, Commissioner Saad, would you like to start us off? |
| 01:43:25.17 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. Thank you, Chair Feller. I think, again, both the presentation and staff report by Adam and the presentation we just saw. to be a problem. straightforward project. I like that there is respect for the history of the building, even though it's not. designated as historic, but I think the vaults are a great addition. I think the shingles, I think from an aesthetic perspective, standpoint, it looks to be designed well and it looks in keeping with the history of the building. So I think it's a necessary use. I too was curious about the but my fellow commissioners have Now, cleared that up and it's just good to know that BCDC will let them do their work following. So I don't have any more concerns there. I think it's actually even better to have some more open space down by the water. I don't really have any concerns. I can personally make all the findings. Um, Definitely would love to hear what the other commissioners think, I can definitely make the findings for this project. |
| 01:44:39.76 | Kristina Feller | Thank you, Commissioner Saad. Commissioner Luxenberg. What are your thoughts? |
| 01:44:43.13 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Thank you, Chair Feller. I also can make the findings. I think from what I saw, I think this project will definitely improve access to the junior sailing, as well as to the kitchen functions for the building. That would be an asset to the community. and happy to make a motion at the appropriate time for approval |
| 01:45:03.59 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner Graff. |
| 01:45:06.99 | Richard Graef | Thank you, Chair Feller. What's not to like about this project? I can make all the findings. I think it's a definite improvement. It's well thought out. The vault of ceiling is very I would. wonder about the blue, but I get it. Otherwise, I would, I'm prepared to second. measure. Luxembourg's motion when he makes it. |
| 01:45:39.31 | Kristina Feller | Thank you very much. Vice Chair Junius. |
| 01:45:42.41 | Andrew Junius | I have no questions. Looking forward to voting for the project. |
| 01:45:46.26 | Kristina Feller | Thank you. I too can make all the findings and I'm actually excited about the potential here and kind of cleaning up that, elevation, not to mention the side elevation. So I completely support the project and can make all of the findings. But as we are fair and equitable to all, there's just a little bit of housekeeping to do here that we could probably handle. either by Adam, a clarification from you on the sign permit Do you have any more information on that? |
| 01:46:15.19 | Adam East | I do chair and I apologize that I didn't discuss this with Jeff previously and we're doing it here but the ordinance does allow for some permanent permanent signs to be installed without permits. And that's for building directory signs which are pedestrian use for tenants or occupants provided that such directories do not exceed eight square feet in area. So I believe the intent of this sign is for directing occupants or the public for occupants of the site and not advertising the Sausalito Yacht Club as in use. So I believe this sign could fall under that building directory sign. and be permitted without a signed permit by the Planning Commission. |
| 01:46:56.73 | Kristina Feller | Thank you for clarifying that and cleaning that up. I would be very happy with that. Um, And then the question is about just the slight. modification to the parking to allow for access to the ramp. I don't believe that there's a reason to hold this project up just for that. And we can certainly either condition an approval or move to approve and assign a working group to to finalize that if that's what's needed. So I can I can make all the findings and The only caveat is just that one parking spot, and I think that can be handled either by staff or by a working group, and I'd be willing to entertain either, and I love to support and approve this project this evening. What has everyone else's thought about the parking? Mr. Luxembourg. |
| 01:47:50.16 | Jeffery Luxenberg | If I understand Mr. Butler, he's indicated that the intent was to move that space to the right, assuming that works, which I'm not 100% sure there's enough room to do that. But I would accept as part of the motion that we acknowledge that that one space is being shifted to the right where the existing ramp is as part of our approval. And that way we wouldn't need another process here, I would think. And then any change to that would be ministerial on behalf of CDB, I would think. |
| 01:48:25.46 | Kristina Feller | I support that. Um, Anybody else have a comment just by show of hand or? No. Commissioner Luxenberg, do you want to make a motion then? |
| 01:48:34.98 | Jeffery Luxenberg | So I move we approve pursuant to the resolution that is posted on the agenda with a note that the parking space as described by the applicant's architect would be moved, we'd shifted over to where the, outside of the area, but just shifted to the right where the existing current ramp is. |
| 01:49:00.71 | Kristina Feller | Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Commissioner Graff. Dan, could you please call roll? You're on mute, Dan. Thank you. |
| 01:49:11.75 | Dan Porter | be quiet now and forget. DRAFT. Yes. Commissioner Luxenberg? Yes. Commissioner Saad. Yes. Vice Chair Genius. Yeah. |
| 01:49:22.62 | Unknown | Yes. |
