Colotto said the building permit and drawings have been approved for a three- storey, 70,000-square-foot hotel on the 2.78-acre Col- web Ave. site just across Food: the Castl News learned Tuesday. Don Colotto, the Sandman Chain’s public relations dir- ector, said in a telephone interview from Vancouver that the hotel should be com- 8. ‘The hotel will have 115 rooms, including six “execu- tive suites” and 109 double rooms. : Plans also call for a dining room, coffee shop, lounge, meeting room, banquet room and self-serve snack bar. When fully operational the hotel will employ 185-140 fulltime workers. Colotto said the design will be similar to the Penticton Sandman Inn, where the hotel is built around a cov- ered courtyard pool. There will also be rec- reational facilities which will include a whirlpool, sauna, two racquetball courts, two squash courts and two roof- tep tennis courts. Colotto said the recre- ational facilities will be open to both hotel patrons and the community. Community use will be restricted to mem- bership in a private club. The Castlegar Sandman Inn — which will be the chain's 20th hotel — was initially priced at $4 million. But Colotto said costs have jumped 26 per cent since the first feasibility study was completed nearly a year ago, The Sandman Chain is also planning a hotel-convention, centre in Nelson, but Colotto said it won't be the next in line after Castlegar. The company wants to first de- velop another hotel in Vic- toria. Colotto said Northland Properties Ltd., which pur- chased the Castlegar site, will also handle construction. Sandman Inn — the hotel Colotto’s announcement dispells rumors 8S planned to delay the con- struction date because of high interest rates. “Castle- gar is csetattely going ahead,” he said. He also ruled Sot coins Sandman Inn as Castlegar convention centre, noting the largest meeting room only seats 200. _ Instead, the Castlegar ho- arm of Northland — will tel will be used for regional sentatives from B.C. and Al berta, he suggested. “iz. Colotto doesn't expect any problems with unions — either during construction or when the hotel is operational. Northland uses nos-union construction workers and al- most all Sandman Inn hotels are non-union. “It’s never a problem: for us.

Moore met eatlier, Monday 1,890-foot level. It is “the only level, really” that can Second time around for anti-noise bylaw By CasNews Staff Castlegar council Monday made its second attempt to bring in a new anti-noise bylaw — one it hopes will be more favorably ‘received by residents. Police ask for help A show of proper be-| havior over the veer period has been requ of the youth of Castlegar by the local RCMP detach-' ment. The RCMP have advised the Castlegar News there will be additional officers| on duty throughout ‘the weekend and they will be making use of equipment’ which will allow the identi- fication of persons break- ing the law. be They ask for public co- operation in assisting the City of Castlegar and the detachment in making this asafe and sane Halloween. Parents are asked to remember, this is your ‘community, know where your children are. The latest anti-noise bylaw is much the same as the one proposed and given third reading Sept. 29, but later rescinded in the face of strong public reaction. Ald. Charlie Cohoe’ ex- plained that three of the 16 sections in the original bylaw have been changed and one eliminated altogehter. All the changes involved “areas of most concern,” he said. The controversial Section 14, which. restricted “the operation or use of any tool for domestic purposes other than snow removal,” was dropped altogether. The initial bylaw had pro- hibited using domestic tools from 7 p.m. -7 a.m. (9 a.m. on Sundays) and had drawn sharp public criticism be- cause some felt it would mean banning lawnmowers and other common home tools after 7 p.m. Residents will now. be able to cut their firewood, com- mented Cohoe. Meanwhile, Sections 4, 5 and 7 were also changed. Section 4 regulates “the op- reproduction or amplifica- tion of sound.” Originally, residents were prohibited from operating loudspeakers from 6 p.m. - 7 a.m. (9.a.m. Sundays). Now tne ‘!~es have been changed from 7:p.u.. - 9 a.m. every day. , Sections 5 and 7 did not change times, but the des- criptions of what noises are restricted. Section 5 regulates “the operation of any auditory signalling device, including but not limited to the ringing of bells, gongs and the blow- ing of horns or sirens or Moore pointed out that the, water level is really just the beginning. Then there is a “safe line” and a “take line,” which actually means if Hy- dro starts at 1,890-feet it will end up very close to 1,400- feet, she said. “This one (1,890-feet) we might be able to live with,” she said.
