7 <br /> George Bekker—Wanted to know how much money has been spent on this <br /> project so far. Mr. Bekker also expressed concerns about the garbage transfer <br /> station that has been relocated. He disagreed with the effort to attract more <br /> people to live within Everett. <br /> Glenn Bachman —The O/M project has a lot of synergy. This project needs the <br /> right decisions to be made by all. <br /> Katrina Lindall— Expressed a desire to have the trails to be circular in nature, so <br /> you are able to take long and short walks. That is the charm that is down there <br /> now and it's important. With a big housing development, she does not want to <br /> have view corridors for this project. She doesn't want to see trees cut down nor <br /> have the parks department getting involved in the removal of trees. Most cities <br /> don't cut down or top trees for development. <br /> Dianne closed public discussion and invited board members to comment. <br /> Erich —Thanked Dr. Alexander for his input and his pictures. <br /> Likes the idea of a kiosk on site. It should be considered provided there is <br /> enough parking spaces. There will be overflow parking for music venues. <br /> Mary Jane—Added to Erich's comment about parking. Everett Transit can <br /> provide adequate transportation and there should be bike racks. One should be <br /> able to get to the Riverfront by means other than a vehicle. Asked staff to clarify <br /> the difference between "bio- engineering" and "fill"for stabilizing banks and to <br /> define"sustainability." <br /> Tina — Inquired about the public comment regarding creosote. (Area referenced <br /> is not part of the area that is the subject of the current master plan. It is on a <br /> DOE clean-up list. It is just east of the parking lot at the main trail head in Lowell <br /> Riverfront park. The park will be the subject of a master planning effort in the <br /> future.) <br /> George Bekker— Inquired about the relationship between the master plan and <br /> the Everett Gospel Mission. How does the mission fit into the plan? Paul <br /> responded that the status of the mission is not under the purview of the board. <br /> Dr. Alexander—At the opening of the public hearing, this area was identified as <br /> a highly historic area. The real history is that it was a flood plain for the <br /> Snohomish River. Historic information should be incorporated in the plan. <br /> It was moved by Patrick and seconded by Mary Jane to recommend that the City <br /> Council adopt the Riverfront Public Amenities Master Plan. Motion was <br /> unanimously approved. <br /> Seattle Outboard Association Request for Use of Silver Lake Hearing <br /> Dianne opened the public hearing. <br /> 25 <br />
