Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Chad Patton: How many keys are proposed with the hotel?
Applicant: About 165, smaller footprint

and parking. Open to conceptual drawings. Focus on full-service projects.
Daniel Kubiak: Who owns the corner of the property? With the large wall.
Applicant: Original Solana developer, which is owned by Blackstone.
Dennis Killough: Maguire Partners.
Chad Patton: I like the restaurant cluster in the center.

Chad Patton: Other proposal had a catwalk due to topography. I believe that was first
floor then below that was meeting space. Would like to see a concept that integrates
trees to have an indoor/outdoor feel.
