DOLE PLANS HOTEL, SPA NEAR HEADQUARTERS.Byline: Cecilia Ce·cil·ia , Saint Third century a.d. Christian martyr traditionally regarded as the patron saint of music. Chan Staff Writer WESTLAKE Westlake, city (1990 pop. 27,018), Cuyahoga co., NE Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland; inc. as a city 1956. A growing city, its various manufactures include ink and plastics. VILLAGE - Dole dole, distribution to the poor, usually of food or money. In medieval times doles were usually from bequests of money or land, and the income was given to charity or distributed to the local poor at funerals. Food Co. will outline plans tonight for a hotel and spa it wants to build near its Lindero Canyon Road headquarters. The project, which also would include a restaurant and retail facilities, would be built on half of Dole's 20-acre site, with its offices on the other half. The City Council will take public comment on the project when it meets at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 31200 Oak Crest Drive. Dole's builder, Castle and Cooke, has five possible designs, although the preferred concept calls for a seven story, 280-room hotel with a health spa and a 468-space parking garage. The hotel would be an independent facility and not part of a chain, said city Planning city planning, process of planning for the improvement of urban centers in order to provide healthy and safe living conditions, efficient transport and communication, adequate public facilities, and aesthetic surroundings. Director Robert Theobald For the U.S. rear admiral, see . Robert Theobald (June 11, 1929 in England-November 27, 1999) was a private consulting economist and futurist author best known for his writings on the economics of abundance and his advocacy of a Basic Income Guarantee. . The spa would include a pool; exercise facilities; meeting rooms for health and nutrition training; and services such as messages, facials and manicures. Currently, Westlake Village has one 150-room hotel. ``There are a lot of businesses out here,'' Theobald said. ``And this spa aspect makes it a destination in and of itself.'' Once Castle and Cooke files an application with the city, it would be four to six months before it came before the council for a vote. Construction could start as early as 2004 and take about a year to complete. |
