Stefansdottir stated ift thel hotel is allowed it will set precedence and thinks the hotel plan is Gus Chambers 207 Bear Creek Lane. Chambers stated he thinks the hotel is a beautiful building in Denver but not for Morrison. Chambers stated he thinks iti is one story too tall. Chambers stated he is concerned about finding the logistics of building the hotel. Chamber stated that a comparable project in Town is the new water treatment plant and in order to build that, the contractor had to build a one-acre fenced off staging area to store the building materials and equipment. Chambers stated parking for construction workers and concrete mixer would also pose an issue. Chambers stated the applicants would have to lease parking lot for a year plus to build the hotel and will likely need a mobile crane in the alley Margaretta Caesar 102 Canyon St. Caesar stated she sees both pros and cons to the proposed hotel. Caesar stated she agreed with the cons that other speakers had mentioned including concerns about parking and disagreed with Town Staff saying they do not foresee parking being aj problem. Caesar stated the Town already has aj parking problem without the hotel. Caesar stated aj pro to the hotel is the attractive design and that she like the proposed stone work and beautiful windows and would like to see the whole building in that stone and windows replicated. Caesar stated she thinks the hotel is massive and overwhelms other nearby buildings but, in general, is not opposed to the hotel but thinks it would be better to have small boutique hotel. Caesar suggested removing the third floor but realizes that doing this would have ai negative financial impact for applicants. Caesar suggested the applicant put guest rooms Skip Campbell 103 Market St. Campbell stated he thought the hotel was a nice-looking building but that iti is in the wrong place in the downtown Morrison business area. Campbell stated he concerned about the construction timeline and that parking and alley will potentially be blocked. Campbell stated the applicant's video presentation was not realistic because it did not show how many pedestrians are actually inl Morrison on al busy day. Campbell is concerned about the potential need for a crane and tractor trailers and that utility and vendors will bel blocked from delivering food and supplies to local businesses. Brewster Caesar 102 Canyon St. Caesar stated he supports the' Town Planning Commission's denial of the site development plan and is disappointed to learn how far the Town's Planning Staff has gone to support this project. Caesar stated thel hotel is tool large to be compatible with adjacent properties andi is against the Town's desire to "keep Morrison Morrison." Caesar disagreed with the height and rooftop patio and using code exceptions to. justify going up another 10 feet will stand out like a sore thumb. Caesar stated parking is aj problem and this hotel will only exacerbate that problem for the restaurants and visitors. Caesar stated the hotel is still in the 100-year floodplain and could increase flood insurance for residents. Caesar stated the hotel is not compatible with nearby properties and thinks the applicants need Dave Killingsworth 403 Bear Creek Ave. Kilingsworth stated the applicants will never be an' "inny" and that Morrison is an "inny" Town. Killingsworth stated the Town has denied two proposed hotels in Craig Levy, Indian Hills.

Levy asked Mayor Wolfe and' Town Trustees to look into project more deeply Krista Nash 171 Red Rocks Vista Lane. Nash stated she grew upi in Morrison and owns the building next to the proposed hotel. Nash stated the applicants have been trying to be involved in the community. Nash disagreed with prior comment that Morrison is a dying' Town and not an' "inny outty" Town. Nash stated she does not believe Morrison purposely created a code to deny this project and thinks the problem came when the Town outsourced planning. Nash stated the Town has three choices which are option one, to reject the application and make the applicants financially whole or take a legal hit. Second option is to ask the applicants to fix the items the Town does not approve on the application; or, third option is to Vivian Lindquist 171 Red Rocks Vista Lane. Lindquist stated she represents aj younger, generation of Morrison and from what she has seen, the hotel plan is beautiful and compliments Red Rocks. Lindquist stated she liked the hotel lobby plan and that it conforms to modernization. Lindquist stated the proposed hotel is not similar to big chain hotels. Lindquist stated the Town should deny the rooftop patio portion of Skyler Moore 31 S. Rainbow Crest Dr. Moore stated he agrees with prior comment by Lindquist. Moore stated he disagreed with Town by having the applicants spend money and time on an application that conforms to Town's code and would like to see Town code change.

Lake stated other towns would jump at the opportunity for hotel by the Root team. Lake stated he and his wife own four Mike. Jones 23576 Pondview PI.

Jones stated he believes Root Team are the best people for this project and would like Town to Sharolyn Anderson 215 Spring St. Anderson stated that Morrison is not a town to make other people rich. Town represents small community that supports residents and businesses. Anderson stated she does not think proposed hotel is not compatible with the historic overlay district. Anderson stated that the original plan was a 15-room hotel until greed took over that the Town should not encourage this. Anderson stated judgment will remain to "keep Morrison Morrison" by the residents.

Turner stated residents were not at the community meeting and believes the residents can control any potential change.

Trustee Gill suggested implementing "no hotel" parking in the Town Hall parking lot or to restrict parking hours within that lot during an event. Trustee Gill stated it is critical to ensure al healthy government that encourages participation from the community and ifp people cannot park and come in to' Town Hall toj participate, the Board is not doing their democratic duty.
