RE: Extension for Design Review Approval of Riverfront Lodge,
Lot 4, Riverfront Subdivision
Dear Matt:
This letter serves as our request to extend the design review approval
on Riverfront Lodge. The approval was granted on October 3, 2006
and expires in October 2008. Our request for extension is due to slower
than anticipated sell-out of the Westin, as needed to start construction
on Riverfront Lodge. If you have any questions, you can reach me at
970-748-7585 or oaunion@ewoartners.com. Otherwise, please confirm
this extension with a written notification. Thank you!
Sincerely,
,qt Gin
