He re-submitted site plans as requested at the last meeting wluch show the following: the single driveway is 90 degrees to the street line, the western most entrance has been eliminated because it interfered with the east driveway of the Courtyard Hotel; and since there is au easement between the two properties, they will be using the Courtyard eastern drive as their western drive. The eastem drive has been turned so that the apron area is perpendicular to the right of way, because of the easement to the property to the east which is vacant. The apron ou the east does have a 25 foot radius. They will be asking for variances because the 20 foot wide canopy will be encroaching into the 100 foot front set by approximately 19 feet on the west side and 18-1/4 feet on the east of the canopy. He noted that tlus is less than what Courtyard was granted. They will also need a variance because there are kitchen facilities in the rooms because it is an extended stay hotel, similar to Studii Plus which was recently approved.
