Regarding Existing Indian Restaurant - Corner Island Highway and Helmcken:

Our Mayor & Council:

I have been approached by Lewis Ratcliff who is a member of the team putting together their plans for a project at the Indian restaurant site. Honestly though the restaurant offers great food and we go there from time to time, the project that is on the drawings that I was shown would be a massive improvement over what's there now.

I was originally worried about the height of the building but then realized when looking at the drawing package that as the grades of this site are so much lower than the 4 story condo building located to the north the actual height of the building is very compatible to the condo building and will look amazing. I also really appreciate the sensitivity to the condo building to the north as the design steps back significantly from that property line which allows all the sunlight to remain onto that building's south face without any shadowing. I would like to voice my full support for this project as it moves forward and encourage our Mayor and Council to do the same please.
