4 months ago Share Gary Kompothecras is proposing a 120-bed hotel and a five story garage along Old Stickney Point Road.
For more than two hours, nearly 100 residents argued over a proposal for a 120-unit hotel on South Siesta Key, likely foreshadowing the approval process ahead.
The proposal is one of three that requests changes to density and transient accommodations on the Key, which many residents fear will change the nature of the island and exacerbate traffic on one of the Key’s main entry points.
The seven-story hotel is proposed on just more than an acre owned by Gary Kompothecras on Old Stickney Point Road. A five-story parking garage would be built across the street.
