UPDATE 5/16/2017: About 45 Midcoast residents attended the workshop. Also in attendance was a representative of the property owner, AHK International Ltd, Ridgegate Apartments. The applicant, local architect Ed Love, fielded questions. County staff took notes to be included with other public and staff comments in a follow-up letter to the owner/applicant.
The applicant described the project as a “boutique” hotel, meaning upscale and pricey. Regarding parking, he acknowledged that practically speaking, the 13-unit hotel would require 13 guest spaces and 7 for staff. Existing plans show 7 spaces on site, and the applicant proposed leasing 13 additional spaces off site in the neighborhood, with valet parking.
