I remember that there was a resort and DVC section proposed. If they want to continue with the resort portion, by all means please do. The DVC section seems like overreach at this point if the cabin DVC conversion is still happening.
My guess is they’re simply maintaining flexibility for the future. An extension is a LOT easier to file than a new permit application.
Building permits are for specific work. They can be amended but for a completely different design it’s doubtful you’d be allowed to maintain the existing permit.
For an actual building permit - fair enough.
They come after a building permit and are tied to that scope of work.
While many did not like it, it was very fitting for a lakeside resort and spa. Modern, bright, and a reflection of the area.
I agree. The design was perfectly fine.
It wasn't, it belonged in a downtown city office block, not situated between the campground and lodge, just as bad as the tower going in at the polynesian.... but just opinion we can agree to disagree.
The tower at the Poly is also fine.
it's the location...between a resort based on the American National parks lodges, and a rustic Wilderness themed campground, the hotel building should have taken it's design cues from what was on either side to make the whole are feel more harmonious. The Reflections Resort buildings did indeed look like a modern apartment complex in any city USA.
This ^^^^
Why limit the height instead of just designing it to be thematically consistent with the area? It just looks wrong, and it will be noticeable whether it is 4 stories or 7....
With the addition of the DVC Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort, might this be related to additional amenities, such as a feature pool, splash pad, and/or community building?
