Commissioner Leo asked how long they had been in the <br />development process and they advised him approximately 19-20 months. <br />Mark Pfieffer representing the Doubletree Hotel advised the Commission that <br />parking at Hutton Centre was currently at a premium. He stated that the <br />Doubletree has an agreement for 50 overflow parking spaces but were told to <br />move to #4 Hutton Centre. He believes the parking study done for this project is <br />not valid as it makes assumptions regarding peak parking hours that he believes <br />are not valid. <br />Commissioner Cribb asked if the parking agreement between the Doubletree and <br />Transwestern was recorded and Mr. Pfieffer responded that it was. <br />Douglas Anderson of Transwestern, the property owner, addressed the <br />Commission regarding the parking issues. <br />Chairman Mondo stated that it is not appropriate for the Commission to consider <br />the parking issues between the Doubletree and Transwestern; however, he is <br />concerned that 4 Hutton Centre will now be under-parked. <br />A discussion regarding the parking issues was held between the Commissioners, <br />staff, and all concerned parties. <br />Chairman Mondo closed the public hearing at 8:22 p.m. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 8 JULY 9, 2001 <br />
