The Chairman expla3*.ned that the application could not be acted upon until
the City Council. gave a final declaration of non-significance. This hearing
• would be opened for any public COMmment before continuing it at the July 261, 1984
meeting.
Nora Porter told the cu,"muassaon that a development of this size certainly needed
an environmental impact statement. The size o� this proposed project would
equate to two Porgy Townsend Motels,, The Tides Inn, a.nd Manre sa Inn. In a survey
taken last year if there was a need dor another motel, the findixg was that
only one with a swimming pool was needed. This one encouraged because it would
appeal to f amilies and they would be more willing to stay longer. That this
project was a motel-convention center was a yoke. It would be a motel., not a
convention center. If'the applicants have the cash flow and the energy they
should finish the Lytle building as 3.t was an eye sore. Port Townsend was not
a theme town and no need to pmt in fake Victorian buildings as the town already
had plenty of the real thing.
