It looks like plans for one of the four planned hotels on the east end of River St may be up in the air after the vote of the historic review board...
Quote:
A developer’s revised plan for an eight-story hotel on East River Street was voted down by the Savannah Historic District Board of Review on Wednesday about seven years after the project was first proposed.
The board’s vote against the height and mass petition came after members expressed concerns about the size of the proposed Hilton by North Point Hospitality.
As presented, the 41,000-square-foot building would span 223 feet along the Savannah River in the northeast corner of the Savannah Historic District.
“It looks like that structure overwhelms the site,” said board member Stan Houle.
There were also concerns that new ordinance standards passed since the hotel was first presented in 2012 do not apply to the project.
