Subject: Proposed Monterey Hts. Hotel
Mayor and City Council Members,
I am writing in opposition to the proposed project for reasons as follows:
COUNCIL MEETING: Z-1-7-
ITEM NO.: RR
FEB 12 2015
*Water... California is currently experiencing its 8th consecutive year of drought. A project of this scope with high water
demands during construction as well as during regular business operation will be detrimental to the City.
It is prudent that such a project be suspended until alternative water supply sources are found.
*Scale... not at all compatible in size with adjacent structures throughout the street.
*Traffic ... will have a strong impact on a currently critical Monterey Street.
*Design... not well done in need of vast improvements. Contemporary if fine, but, choice of materials /colors are not in
harmony nor compatible with the area.
*Maintenance ... too much use of wood & wood composite siding material. An element of the exterior finish that will require
frequent up keep .... and often neglected will create a visual eyesore for the City.
*Porte Cochere ... again using a high maintenance material... wood. Not very pleasing as a design element. Needs to be
redesigned.
Regards,
George Adrian, Architect
