As we discussed with Steve Beachy previously, the hotel tower will remain in service and will be converted to dormitory rooms. The existing lobby building will be demolished and a new multi -story mixed use building constructed in its place. The difference between this proposal and the last one submitted to Parks is that this proposal now adds the corner tract at Redmond and Texas Avenue adjacent to the Ramada tract. You can see on this plan a tabular computation showing the amount of proposed residential use on the property. You will also see hatched buildings on the Redmond side of the concept plan which is the existing Meridian Phase I buildings. Currently our plan is to retain these units and remodel them. Our intent across Redmond Drive adjacent to the creek is to redevelop that tract with a parking structure and additional multi -family as feasible (based on parking). You'll note on the Bikeway Master Plan that there is an area along the creek where a bike path is contemplated. We understand that from Parks last review that since TxDOT did not construct the under road path at Wolf Pen Creek and the Upper Trails as originally anticipated, this section of bike path is no longer contemplated. As with our original request we would like to pay fees in lieu of land dedication. We understand that this new project, with its additional housing units, must be reviewed by the Parks Board and we would like to request that this item be scheduled for their January meeting. We have also attached the rezoning documentation submitted to Development Services for this project. Please review and use as necessary. Thanks for your help with our project.

The only thing that was left out was the Capital Improvement & Park Land Dedication lists. Our accounting system always gives me problems when I need to print the balance of funds...so anyway, I have to wait for technical support so that I can print the balances. I will have the lists laid at your seat at the meeting. Thank you so much!
