Woodspring Suites Public Hearing Design Review (L15 -0042) <br />April 28, 2016 <br />Page 4 <br />Existing Development <br />The project site is vacant with the exception of a garage and a stable. In the Cultural Resources Assessment <br />prepared for this project, the two structures are referred to as a garage /stable complex; due to their close <br />proximity to one another and similar construction they almost appear to be one long rectangular <br />development. The stable extends approximately 30 feet over the project parcel onto the Nelsen Residence <br />property to the east. These two structures, though associated with the Nelsen family, were not constructed at <br />the same time and on the same site as the Nelsen Family Residence. The structures were moved on to the site <br />from the east side of West Valley Highway during the 1960s. According to the Cultural Resources Assessment, <br />the two structures are not contributing elements to the historic significance of the Nelsen Residence. The <br />project proposes to demolish these two structures. The applicant has noted the possibility of incorporating <br />architectural features or equipment from these structures as design elements in the open space area if <br />appropriate materials are found during demolition. <br />Figure 2. Existing Conditions <br />Surrounding Land Use <br />Adjacent development and land uses include a three -story Extended Stay America to the north, the Nelsen <br />Residence to the east, a large parking lot area and associated three -story Ramada hotel to the south, and a <br />vacant strip of land adjacent to the Green River on the west. A wetland is partially located in the northwestern <br />corner of the project site and extends off site. The wetland is part of an oxbow that was formerly a meander of <br />the Green River. Farther to the north is 1 -405, and development to the south and across West Valley Highway is <br />
