OLD BUSINESS: 1) Pronosed Candlewood Hotel, located on the south side of Country Club Blvd., east-adjacent to the newly constructed Homestead Village Hotel. Proposal to construct Hotel. Heard by planniug commission March 10, 1998. Heard by architectural review board March 18, 1998. Mr. Nemecek advised since the last meeting a compromise has been submitted. Mr. Yager stated he reviewed the partiaY elevations and had the following comments: "NVe would approve these elevations if tliey were all brick. Tlie notes on the attached sheets are a compromise at best and might be rejected by city council, although our architectural review board would compromise for the noted documents. You decide what the potential delay in approvals would mean to your project."

He quesrioned if tlie stau tower will return to a perpendicular wall or if it is all flush. Mr. Nemecek confirmed tlie return would be into tlie corner. Mr. Liggett stated the floor plan should clear up the returns. Mr. Yager pointed out the floor plan is not
