Two compromises have been offered by the development company looking to turn Dewey Beach’s landmark Ruddertowne complex into a luxury resort.Harvey, Hanna and Associates Inc. are planning to finalize their purchase of the collection of restaurants and retail stores at Ruddertowne from Highway One Partners at the end of the month. They had initially proposed a 68-foot-tall hotel and condominium hybrid for the site, with commercial spaces on the first floor and retaining current Ruddertowne hotspots the Lighthouse Restaurant, Raw Bar and the Baycenter.HHA’s plan has met with criticism over being nearly twice as tall as Dewey’s current 35-foot height limit for new construction.
