At the June 3, 2021 City Council meeting the developers of Sentierre requested a change to the original development agreement. And what they are asking for looks good, compared to their original plan. Here is a summary:
- The two-story hotel in the original plan is gone. Now the hotel-related facilities will be spread out through the development in four separate, smaller, one-story buildings, compared to one large building.
- Now the guest suites will be low profile one-story buildings, except for four guest suites that will have a bedroom on the second floor.
- The number of homes has been reduced.
- They plan to build an underground parking structure, at their expense, putting parking out of sight as well as service and delivery vehicles out of sight.
