u 2700 Cleveland Ave. PF# 07-021 Meeting Notes 5-24-07 Present: John Livingston, Developer Brian Nelson, Architect (Developer) John Stark, Community Development Department Director Thomas Paschke, City Planner Tom Harrington, Design Consultant (City) r� L JS indicated that the meeting would focus on design issues at the site. He pointed out that the city will have suggestions based on the city's design guidelines for the site; however, it cannot design the site for the developer. JL explained the following constraints he has encountered in developing the site: • Market feedback Hotel brand parameters for building design Value aspect of hotel brand requirements JL noted that these constraints allow for limited options for siting the hotel and providing for any future entrances to the site. JS agreed that the city has the same interests in the site as the developer: to find the best site design possible as this site is a gateway to the Twin Lakes development and thus will set the bar for future development in Twin Lakes. JL commented that he was given design principles on May 1 and he felt that the plan drawings he has submitted with his application were sufficient. JL explained that siting the hotel on the SW corner of the site (per the city's suggestion) is difficult to do. The city's suggested placement of the hotel received a negative reaction from hotel brand. The hotel brand is specific about the building footprint and there is also a concern of too much noise from intersection at Cleveland Ave and Twin Lakes Parkway if hotel were placed closer to SW corner. JL noted that more hotels have been developed since his first proposal therefore, less hotel rooms are needed in this area. He again noted that he is bound by brand limitations. TH inquired if JL will be developing both parcels (hotel and restaurant). JL responded that he would be developing both parcels.
