“Why would it be closed off? Why are you promoting that?”
“There is an outdoor treatment center next to the retail. I when I read through this I was expecting people were coming in through that courtyard into the lobby so I am upside down here Well the site plan is showing all the exit possibilities that was a requirement from staff”
“Sounds to me like You're going to be having to determine that based on how these people walk across the street from the hotel. If you bring them in through the retail, you're putting them into the middle of the busiest”
“So that's all it would be nice if the Courtyard could be at least visually Available to the community because it sounds like it will be beautiful your folks doing meditation have a great spa area over on the west side you've got a place to do your outdoor therapy and this whole huge courtyard yeah I know you're gonna make it beautiful and we would like to share that when we walk by maybe a solution other than a fence might be what you're asking for to some degree”
“I would hate to see a six-foot wood fence there.”
“The hotel has gorgeous landscaping. I'm sure they're going to do an equally good job.”
“I would like to take your offer of a tour. I toured a year and a half ago when things were still little rough and I've been to the hotel but there's a sign that says you can't go out the back way unless you're a guest so I would like to see what that looks like for your guests who are going to be exiting the hotel and going to the spa and that's kind of where I would be curious”
“Do we have any other questions or comments for this team.”
“Thank you. I think it's going to be a big asset. I hope it works out for you.”
“I don't know how you do it Thank You Larry Okay We have a hand raised. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.”
“I'm sorry. Say that last sentence again. I couldn't hear you.”
“Do we have any further questions or comments to?”
“Do you anticipate having that put into code?”
“I would hope that the next staff report will expand on this subject considerably if we need to make decisions I'm going to need to understand it better yeah I can certainly go into a lot more detail on that currently the the lot line goes right through the middle of the building right correct so that's why we have to do a merger”
“Could I also ask, who is the final authority to give a go-ahead on a crosswalk?”
“I don't know if the crosswalk is necessary if we're going to block off that whole entrance. Well, apparently it's not an entrance. The courtyard.”
“I Would like to just make note of the fact that if this were a historic site The outside of the building is not being changed so What's the problem? the historic location the only The only restriction that you have is to not change the outside of the building. You can do anything you want inside. So I guess other than that fence, I don't understand why this is really even a problem.”
“Okay, I think we've given you all of our opinions at the moment, and I hope that you're able to use them to your benefit. And with that, we will close the subject and look forward to seeing you back on the 5th.”
“I'm sure now that you, yes. Bye-bye. Okay future agenda items is next.”
“Good. And do you have anything else for a director's report?”
“Okay. Commission member reports, anybody have anything? Who's up for the next meeting that Mac has? Okay. And you're in town, and you're all set to go.”
“on the agenda so there's probably have to be something substance okay um our liaison uh council member whitman is unable to be here this evening uh contacted me this morning about that so but he'll he'll be here next time um anything else anybody okay with that we will adjourn at 9 22.”
