Omen from 5-22-84) <br /> Mr. Harris presented his report (SR 84:2?9) dated May 1~, 1984, regarding this <br />matter. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer declared the continued public hearing open on the application and <br />the Mitigated Negative Declaration. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jim Harpool, representing Wickliff and Company, reviewed the design changes <br />made to the original plan that was submitted. He advised that Doubletree Inn is 25% <br />owner of the proposed hotel and tha~ Wickliff and Company owns ?5%. He stated the <br />hotel is a club type hotel, with rooms comparable to Hyatt and Sheraton, but that <br />this facility will not have a convention center or public restaurant. He stated that <br />as part of the room rate, guests will receive a complimentary breakfast which will be <br />the only meal served, and that there will be a large lounge area for cocktails. He <br />stated that this type of facility will have less impact on traffic, water, and sewer. <br />He advised that the six story building is less height (62 ft.) that other six story <br />buildings because of the shallow floor space. He presented renderings of the design <br />of the project, as well as landscape plans. He reviewed vehicle access, pedestrian <br />access, and food service deliveries. Mr. Harpool reviewed traffic studies, and stated <br />the critical concern is the intersection of Dublin Canyon Road and Foothill Road. He <br />stated that Doubletree and Wickliff have agreed with regard to mitigation measures at <br />this location and will pay their fair share for any improvements necessary. He added <br />that a hotel such as the one proposed will produce less traffic than an office build- <br />ing. Mr. Harpool stated that with regard to sewer use, the proposed facility will <br />use water conservation fixtures to keep the usage as low as possible. Mr. Walker <br />advised that the City's figures have some water saving devices included, and that he <br />would have to look closer to determine accurate figures. <br /> <br /> 8. 6/12/84 <br /> <br /> <br />
