From a recent posting about Trilogy Properties in The Vancouver Sun:

Dino Celotti, project manager for Trilogy Properties, said that since the application was made, the Opus Hotel has proposed putting up a tent to cover the rooftop on the side of 212 Davie which "we believe would muffle the noise and direct it away from 212 Davie."
It also proposes putting up a 1.8-to-three-metre high bamboo perimeter wall on the outside of the glass rail as a visual screen to ensure privacy of the residents at 212 Davie.

In a report, the Vancouver police department did not approve the application because of concerns about enforcing noise complaints.
McCoy thinks the city has to take a longer look at the issue before running it through prior to the civic election.

"City council must defer this application and must develop a set of policies and guidelines to allow for the use of rooftop dining," said McCoy.

He emphasized that unlike his previous neighbourhood of Gastown, where he voiced concern over noise and was told the bars were there before he was, in Yaletown, the residents were there before the hotel.
