Subject: Embassy Suites Hotel Helicopter Landing Pad

Date: September 4, 2008

 

 

According to WEEK IN REVIEW in the August 23rd Glendale News-Press, "The Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday (8-19-08) asked the developer of the nearly completed Embassy Suites hotel to fix what many on the city panel viewed as a design flaw near the structure's helicopter-landing pad."

 

In NOTABLE QUOTABLES of that same Glendale News-Press. Frank Quintero was quoted as saying, "That wasn't what I voted for."

 

Is "asking" the developer to fix the problem ALL that any member of the current Redevelopment Agency and City Council intends to do about this problem?

 

At the present time the Embassy Suites Hotel is the ugliest high rise building in the city of Glendale, if not in all of Southern California.

 

 

 

Will our City Council let the developer get away with this inferior design?

 

If this is not corrected, I hope plaques are installed in BOTH the Embassy Suites Hotel and in Glendale City Hall stating, "Embassy Suites Hotel Helicopter Landing Pad Compliments of Glendale Mayor John Drayman and City Council Members Ara Najarian, Frank Quintero, Dave Weaver and Bob Yousefian".
