Motel Inn Project

CHC Members,
I have been continually amazed at the projects that have been approved by our city over the last ten years. I know the CHC has
tried to guide and preserve our cities historical sites. In spite of the CHC efforts several sites have been so greatly modified they
have little if any historical value. This project has no respect for the history of the site or any effort to share or bring its history
forward. The Motel Inn was neglected for so long and the owner or owners chipped away at the foot print of the
building. “Demolition by Neglect” with only a small piece of the original structure standing. The facade of the building that is
still in place has been in that condition for so many years that the city has forgotten about it. Now the developer is to going to
complete the removable of the historical site and not even attempt to build an Inn that is reminiscent of the original inn. A
new historically correct inn could tell the history of the first Motel. Additionally this design looks like it should be in a camp
ground and not as part of our city in the site of a previously identified historical building. Please try to preserve and guide this
project it is not lost yet.
