Route 90 Marriott clears OC Planning Commission

After nearly two hours of presentation and review, the city’s planning commission cleared the design of the Marriott Residence Inn proposed for Sea Bay Lane, adjacent to the Route 90 Bridge, with only minor aesthetic changes.

Representatives from the neighboring Trader’s Cove townhouses, as well as members of the commission themselves, continued to voice concern over parking, traffic flow, and pedestrian safety – but ultimately found that the current design was the best building that it could be given the awkwardly positioned site.

“You have to understand that traffic is going to happen whatever goes there,” said Commission Chair Pam Buckley.

“Obviously something is going to be built there – it’s a prime piece of property,” said Commissioner Chris Shanahan.
