CONWAY â Abutters of the proposed four-story Viewpoint Hotel in Intervale have filed a nuisance complaint with the Conway Planning Board.
Attorney Roy W. Tillsley Jr. of the Bernstein Shur Law Firm of Manchester at the board s Feb. 25 meeting presented a noise complaint filed by 16 people, including five residents of Dinsmore Road; five direct abutters at Mountain View Estates; two residents each from Neighbors Row and Balcony Seat View; and a resident each of Intervale Crossroads and Northbrook Condominiums.
The direct abutters include Mountain View board president Mike Sprecht, board members Nancy Goyette and Jenny LaBudde, and residents Stephanie Madden and Frank Masciulli.
CONWAY â A project that meets the town s regulations but is just too big for the proposed location. That seems to be the sentiment of planners and residents â and a hotel industry insider â concerning a proposal for a four-story hotel in Intervale.
Full site-plan review of the proposed a 105,836-square-foot, four-story, 105-room hotel to be built at the current site of the 16-room Intervale Motel was continued to Feb. 25 by the Conway Planning Board, which last discussed the project Feb. 11.
More than 30 residents attended that session, voicing displeasure with the size of the Viewpoint Hotel being proposed by developer P.J. Patel. Homeowners in the abutting Mountain View townhouses said it would block their views of the Presidential Range.
Ten people filed for 12 of the 20 town and six school positions opening up.
One person who is not running for re-election, Town Moderator Deborah Fauver, shared in an email Tuesday that while âIâve decided not to run again, but I have recruited a great replacement. Then she added mysteriously: âYouâll have to wait for the sign-up period to find out who it is.â
That person is attorney Chris Meier, a partner with Cooper Cargill Chant in North Conway, which is the same firm where Fauver works as a lawyer specializing in estate planning.
Meier, who also serves on the board of the MWV Trails Association, joked with Conway Town Clerk Louise Inkell on Wednesday that Fauver personally escorted me hereâ to make sure he signed up.
There were over 80 responses to this weekâs Tele-Talk question, âIs the site of the Intervale Motel a good location for a new four-story hotel?â and except for one or two, all were uniformly opposed to the idea.
As I sit in Hannaford s parking lot and look at the monstrosity that s blocking my favorite view of Chocorua, yeah, sure we need another hotel that s a monster.
Preservationists want to preserve an outdated motel but can t save a historically significant structure in Center Conway? Ridiculous. If the Intervale House had not burned 100 years ago, there would be a four-story old hotel there now. Think of the proposed structure as a modern reincarnation of the former and the current Intervale Motel as a temporary space holder.
At the site of the Intervale Motel, located across from the Scenic Vista, developers are proposing to build a 105,836-square-foot, four-story, 105-room hotel. The site has a long history with
