Board Member Gordon-Evans asked if the residents’ parking and the hotel/commercial parking will be separated. Mr. Staubes stated that it is likely there will be designated parking, but the applicant will be able to answer. Chairperson Powell asked the applicant to provide an overview of the request. Mr. Kevin Moore came forward on behalf of the applicant, PEG Properties. Mr. Moore said the development would contain an 8-story hotel and 12-story multi-family building that will both be fully amenitized. The parking deck will be a mixture of shared spaces and private, secure parking for the multi-family residents. The property will be walkable to the Battery, especially once the new pedestrian bridge is erected. Mr. Moore then introduced Tyler Phelps from PEG Companies to give a brief presentation on the history of PEG Companies and other projects they have done. A public hearing was called, and no one came forward in favor of or in opposition to this item. Board Member Phillips asked about the pedestrian sidewalk. Mr. Moore said the pedestrian bridge was to be installed by the City. Board Member Phillips asked for more clarification on why it would only be a 5-ft sidewalk. Mr. Moore said that they would be overall expanding the access, but this would hopefully trigger more properties to improve. A public hearing was called again, and no one came forward in favor of or in opposition to this item. Board Member Charles Phillips made a motion to approve item Z25-008; seconded by Board Member Keith Bentley. The motion to approve carried with the following vote: Aye: 5 – Board Member Phillips, Board Member Bentley, Board Member Rice, Board Member Gordon-Evans, Board Member Seagraves Nay: 0 – None Absent: 2 – Board Member Howard, Board Member Ostrzega
