Subject:1144 Chorro Proposal 2
Dear Commissioners:
RE: 1144 Chorro project repor
I support your focused attention to Allan Cooper's letter and the reduction of the height to three or four floors, and
consistent architecturally compatible with the district's prevailing historic character with the Downtown. Other points
to mention is that the status design of the upstair residential setback buildings are abysimal - not related to any
buildings, and thinking of the four-story brick Granada Hotel just not in this city's intents. Look again at the shingle
building straight up above the theater and famous patio. Just too much.
A viewshed to the mountains should be provided on Marsh Street, by a reduced public space near the Chorro
Street. This is the center almost of the Dowtown Historical District, so bring the many more points emphasized by Dr.
Cooper. The CDG policies were diviscated by the ARC, and you might want to bring them forward again. This is not
about if the columns are cute enough. At least totally.
Thank You and Good Luck,
James Lopes
