Floor Plans 1. The third and fourth floors have been modified to accommodate an additional 24 new hotel rooms; 2 new rooms on the third floor and 22 on the fourth. On the third and fourth floors, we are proposing to split two large hotel rooms into three smaller rooms on both the South and North Elevations. On the fourth floor we are proposing to add 20 new hotel rooms on the West end of the building where there had originally been only a roof and exterior roof deck. These 20 new units are modeled after the layout of the third floor and are only modified to accommodate for the changes made in the elevations mentioned below. 2. Changes were also made to the employee housing on the third floor, transforming a two bedroom unit for two people, into a two bedroom dorm style unit with double beds, housing four people. The other employee units remain unchanged. Building Elevations 1. We have lowered the height of the floor plates 0'- 6" on each of the lower floors and 1'-0" on the fourth floor to account for the additional height needed for the new hotel rooms without changing the existing designed ridge height. 2. We have elevated the height of the ridge on the bump out dormers on the South and North Elevations to match the elevation of the existing roof ridge as designed and to accommodate for the additional rooms added to the fourth floor. The overall massing of the dormers remains the same; however, the fourth floor windows have been sized to fit within the space created by these changes. The siding for these bump-outs has been changed to horizontal siding rather than vertical siding and will match the color of the horizontal siding already specified for the project (please see colored elevations) . Balconies have also been added to four rooms on the North and four rooms on the South elevations.These maintain the same form as given to other balconies in the project and help to tie the building aesthetic together. 3. Similarly, we propose that the gables on the West wing of the South Elevation be pulled up to match the existing roof ridge in response to the new hotel rooms added. The original gable dormers on the west wing have been modified to shed dormers and pulled up as well to accommodate for more height on the fourth floor. Also in response to the new rooms on the fourth floor, shed dormers have been added to the gable on the West elevation.These dormers give the new fourth floor rooms the required head space allowing the interior spaces to become usable. 4. On the East end of the North Elevation, shed dormers have been added to accommodate the changes made to the area former two bedroom employee housing unit as it changed to a dorm style unit. Also, the original deck for that unit has been modified to a French balcony without a sliding door to the exterior.

Changes in the floor plan along the East-West axis in the middle of the building have been reflected in the North and South Elevations. The North elevation of these rooms now have French balconies in place of the original decks and have been pulled out to meet the original deck line. The South elevation rooms still have deck balconies, however on the fourth floor; a French balcony has also been added to the new middle hotel room. Summary Based on the previous submittals, the overall building design has remained relatively the same and only accommodates the changes necessary to include the 24 additional hotel rooms. Roof heights and overall room layouts have not been changed and still comply with the original submittal's design intent.
