The term sherry originally referred to wines made from grapes grown in the region of Jérez de la Frontera, Andalusia, Spain; today it may refer to any of the Daily News Staff Writer A proposal by 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. calls for what would be two of the tallest buildings in Westlake Village to be built on the company's headquarters. Dole is now in the process of building its world headquarters on a 160,500-square-foot parcel north of the freeway and west of Lindero Canyon Road. The preliminary proposal for the second phase of the project calls for a six-story, 140-room hotel and spa, as well as a five-story office building of 180,320 square feet. The council reviewed Dole's proposal at its Wednesday night meeting, but took no action. The company was seeking the council's initial comments and reaction to its plans, said Scott Wolfe, the city's associate planner. Now the planners will revise their plans and possibly make a formal presentation to the city, Wolfe said. Officials at Castle & Cooke Properties, Dole's builders, were unavailable to comment. The proposed buildings seemed too long, thin and high for Westlake Village, said Councilman James Henderson James Henderson may refer to:

Several pre-Revolutionary houses remain there. and I expressed a concern about the height,'' Henderson said. ``I personally would like to see them lower. . . . They got the message that we'll be looking at the height.'' City codes call for buildings to be no more than 35 feet or two stories tall, Wolfe said.

It is the principal east-west route through Ventura County and in the southern San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. , however, buildings can go as high as 71 feet, or four stories with a pitched roof pitched roof n.
