The City Building Department has a full set of plans outlining our work proposed. It is to close the breezeway area and convert that area and the vacant building described above to 8 hotel rooms and manager's apart- ment. I had previously written the City-Council stating that the parking require- ments were to stringent and at that time was going to add more seats in the coffee shop. At that time, we were charged. with the following: We propose: 36 rooms 150 seats Total • 44 rooms Manager's Apartment (Unit 1-2-3) 86 seats Total 36 spaces 30 spaces 66 9 spaces - 1 for every 5 rooms 1 space 17 spaces 27 spaces , We have 16 spaces now and are still sincerely attempting to purchase pro- perty adjacent to our own to provide additional parking. Hopefully this will be accomplished by summer.
