WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL-CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. May 8, 2007:  Robert Weisz, the Westchester County Association's  Developer of the Year, spoke on the hearing involving his wishes to build a hotel on the 1133 Westchester property. However, Weisz did not show a architectural rendering of the hotel structure (4 stories) he plans to build, and how it would sit on the site which overlooks the Maple Moor Golf Course.

The tree loving councilmembers Rita Malmud and Benjamin Boykin  had earlier waxed eloquently on the preservation of trees on the North Street Community site, did not ask about the terrain of the property. Paula Piekos said she remembered the 1133 site as having trees where the Weisz hotel would be built.  Weisz said the hotel grounds and existing parking areas would be relandscaped with trees to replace any trees that would be lost due to the hotel construction. Weisz said the hotel fit all the zoning restrictions on the property on dimensions. The legislation enabling extended stay hotels in the Campus Office District and three zones in the downtown business district, as well as the hearing on the Weisz hotel project were adjourned to June.

View of proposed site of the Robert Weisz "extended stay" hotel at the entrance to 1133 Westchester Avenue. How the hotel would look situated on this property is a mystery. The hotel is going to go on the slope in the center of the picture. But, again no rendering has been presented. 

Hotel based on Mr. Weisz's overhead plans would sit on the far back of this slope, overlooking this fairway and green on the Maple Moor Golf Course. How many trees would be taken from this site to put the hotel up has not been indicated.
