Subject: 	Canal Plaza Hotel - Revised Trip General Analysis

Nell ‑ I have reviewed the revised trip general analysis conducted by Gorrill‑Palmer Consulting Engineers, Inc. dated January 29, 2013 and find the conclusions to be acceptable.  I would note that this conclusion is based upon the assumption that the restaurant is an ancillary use of the hotel and not a restaurant operated by others.  Examples include the Hilton Garden Hotel at the corner of Commercial Street and Franklin Street (restaurant part of hotel operations) and the Hampton Inn at the corner of Franklin Street and Fore Street (Sebago Brewery Restaurant is not operated by the hotel).  Based upon the permitting of other hotel/restaurant projects in the City, the applicant would need to obtain a Traffic Movement Permit if the restaurant is something other than a hotel functioning restaurant. My conclusion that a Traffic Movement Permit is not required is based upon a hotel that will be similar to the Hilton Garden Hotel in respect to restaurant operations.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
