Mt. Lebanon hotel proposal

[illusionofjoy]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I am generally for development, with the exception of cul-de-sacs filled with McMansions, however, I like my neighbourhood's business district as it is. From the Post-Gazette:

A public hearing conducted by Mt. Lebanon commissioners last night provided details for a proposed boutique hotel on Washington Road.

The 12,600-square foot parcel is a parking lot but developer Kratsa Properties of Harmar is promising a seven-story SpringHill Suites by Marriott that will echo the architecture of major buildings surrounding it. James McMullan of architects Burt,Hill said the 108-room hotel will provide "the smallest footprint possible" at the ends of what is considered downtown Mt. Lebanon.
