buildings, and 3) a 79 unit extended stay hotel. The amendment consists of relocating the dumpster
for the 79 unit extended stay hotel. The sketch plan was reviewed on 9/22/98.
2. The hotel property located at 401 Dorset Street lies within the CD3 & R7 Districts. This property
is bounded on the north and west by residences, on the east by Dorset Street, and on the south by the
congregate care facility and Aspen Drive.
