Wednesday, November 27, 2019 A5 Public meetings will precede hotel construction By Rudy Diaz Blue Mountain Eagle Construction may begin on a new hotel in John Day as early as March 2020. The hotel will be located near the Oregon Pine Prop- erty east of Patterson Bridge Road. The city plans to sell 1.7 acres of land it owns at the site for $74,052 — $1 per square foot — to facil- itate the deal, according to City Manager Nick Green. “The city will hold a public hearing before the John Day Planning Com- mission related to the land partition of the Ore- gon Pine property and site design for the future hotel,” said Green. “If the planning commission approves the site design and land parti- tion, the city council will then hold a public hearing on the sale of the property. We are going to try and hold that meeting imme- diately following the plan- ning commission hearing.” Notice of the hear- ing will be published in the Blue Mountain Eagle 21 days prior to the meet- ing. The goal is to schedule these hearings in February. There will possibly be a study session with the plan- ning commission in Janu- ary to review the applica- tion materials and address any concerns in prepara- tion for the public hearing in February, according to Green. “Site design review will The Eagle/Rudy Diaz Court Priday discusses the Inn at Whiskey Flat, a new hotel planned for John Day. but the final application will not be submitted for their review until the traffic impact analysis is complete in early to mid-January.” If all approvals have been met, the hotel group will be able to go into con- struction in March 2020. include a traffic impact analysis, which has to be reviewed by Oregon Department of Transpor- tation since access to the hotel is from a state high- way,” Green said. “ODOT staff have been consulted on the preliminary design, 20%–75% OFF Regular Price Store-wide thru Music Lessons: See paintedskycenter.com/music-lessons for more info or to register.
