He said he hoped they would hold to the recommendations of the Area Plan Commission. Mr. Richard Johnson, Director of Area Plan, indicated that the Commission had given a strong unfavorable recommendation for a number of reasons. He indicated that a ten story hotel was too high for the area, because of the grade on the site. He aid they may not be able to meet the parking requirements because of the grade.
