council educate effort hotel overall permanent
We've made a better effort to educate the council on the overall project. The council had some objections about removing the permanent habitation clause, so we've softened the language, and there's still going to be no permanent habitation on the acreage where the hotel will be. We've made it a friendlier document.

There was a fine line of what the developer could live with in order to get permanent financing for the project.

You also don't want to have an overlap of amenities.

But it would not necessarily be called for since they have performed. You can look at the situation now and look at the glass half-empty or half-full. Everybody needs to be comfortable with the deal, but the city has to let the developer follow its own path. It's been conveyed to the council previously that the clubhouse wouldn't proceed unless the hotel did. As of right now they're not bothering with the hotel until they can get the deed changed.
