| The East Valley Planning Commission will take its first crack at the Ritz Carlton project. "Marriott has brought in a proposal that is very sensitive to the hot buttons here in town. We think so. The Marriott property is actually the most complete we've seen for a resort special- use permit. It looks very good at this stage of the game," Town Manager Tom Martinsen said. "Marriott has spent a year and a half listening very carefully to the community and, obviously, observing with interest what else is going on within the community," John Berry, development attorney, said. The Ritz Carlton plans call for one and two story buildings, but only single story buildings would be constructed along Indian Bend and Lincolnm said Molly Hood, the town's senior planner. |
