DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED VARIANCES HALTED UNTIL FEBRUARY
Holiday Inn, working with the Sequim planning department, had developed a plan that would provide a public roof garden. To meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, doing so requires an elevator. According to architect Dale Sweeney, even without a covered elevator shaft, the building would be over the 35-foot limit.
While Miller and others commended the look of the building, they again didnt feel that a variance should be given since the applicants had shown no hardship that would prevent them from complying with the code.
As long as the codes are there, I think they should be adhered to as much as possible, said planning board commissioner Dick Foster.
Jarmuth wondered if approving the project wouldnt prompt future developers to seek height variances themselves.
Movie news: Brad Bird's rat chef flies to Oscar nomination
"We're in Utah," the Corvallis-bred director said Tuesday afternoon, fresh off a plane and heading for the Sundance Film Festival. Though the aircraft had landed, Bird's spirits were still flying high. The filmmaker was absorbing the news that "Ratatouille," his hit movie about a Parisian rat with mad gourmet skills, had cooked up five Oscar nominations: best animated feature, original screenplay, musical score, sound editing and sound mixing. "It's really wonderful to get so many nominations when we came out in what the Academy would consider to be earlier in the year," Bird said. One of the most respected animated filmmakers in the business, Bird won the 2005 best animated feature Oscar when he was honored for "The Incredibles." But don't think for a minute that Bird is low-key about the Oscar love for "Ratatouille." "You don't get too blase about the Oscars," Bird said with a laugh.
Tropical Storm Noel Buffets South Fla.
Tropical Storm Noel buffeted south Florida with high surf and winds as it swirled slowly toward the Bahamas Thursday after triggering mudslides and floods in the Caribbean that killed at least 81 people.
