To Whom it May Concern:
My name is Lauren Cummings and I am an owner in several neighboring properties as well as
work around the corner from the Etha Hotel. I walk and drive by the project several times a day
and am writing to you for assistance in understanding how the building was allowed to deviate
from its original approved design elements. There are a number of design elements that
appear to differ from the approved set of plans and DRB that are aesthetically unpteasing to the
neighborhood and impact not only my day to day experience but also the value of my
investments.
Approved plans called for a pool and deck amenity on the second level activating the street
view. This has been replaced with mechanical equipment that is quite visible from the street.
Of additional concern is what the noise factor will be when these are in full operation. The
windows installed are not truly divided as in the rendering but are a less desirable simulated
product. It appears the stucco application was also not completed to its specifications. Can you
confirm these design changes have been approved by the City by providing documentation.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and upholding the design review process.
Sincerely
Lauj»ffCummi jmmii
