Project Name: Main Street Hotel
Application: 22176
1 own the property immediately North across Mendenhall (503 W. Mendenhall) from this project. I have
two concerns regarding this project proposal.
The first concern is the vision triangle encroachment. This intersection has a problem with eastbound
drivers on Main Street in the afternoon hours not being able to tell if the light is red or green because of
the sunset reflecting off the traffic light. After decades of traversing, this particular intersection I am fully
aware of it and take added care when crossing Main Street. There have been too many incidents for me
to remember of people not stopping for the light at that particular time of day. Restricting the vision
triangle on that corner will further compound the problem. If the developer could 45°,just the ground
floor on that corner it would at least allow enough vision to see eastbound traffic approaching the
intersection. This is definitely a public safety issue.
My Second concern is the parking lot that would border Mendenhall. I don't know what the developer
has planned, but the parking lot should be landscape to improve the aesthetics of that area. A large
featureless parking lot will further diminish the character of the neighborhood. With proper landscaping
and lighting I have no objection to the parking lot.
I am supportive of this project and understand that development is inevitable at that location. Please
consider my two concerns, and any assistance you can provide in mitigating those two issues would be
appreciated.
