Instead of a modest building sitting between a beautiful river and an historic town, the developer Hollander Hospitality has again proposed a large, four-story structure painted in a strident shade of red to be Astoria’s next hotel (“Developers revise plans for waterfront hotel in Astoria,” The Daily Astorian, Aug. 24).

I would like to add my voice to the many who have asked for a smaller building more sensitively designed. And, to ask the city to change the code for Astoria’s waterfront so that these proposals for large buildings will not happen again.
