REPORT OF CHANGES: PUBLIC HEARING FOR MODIFICATION OF PREMISES
a. Applicant: East West Resorts LLC & Riverfront Village Restaurant, LLC d /b /a the Westin
Riverfront Resort & Spa
Address: 126 Riverfront Lane
Manager: Bob Trotter
Type: Resort Complex License
At this time, Board Member Ferraro recused herself from the meeting due to a conflict of
interest. All liquor authority members stated there was no perception of a conflict of interest with
Board Member Carroll, who has done business with the hotel.
Mayor Wolfe presented the report of changes and modification of premises for the Westing
Riverfront Resort & Spa. Mr. Bob Trotter, Resort Manager of the Westin, summarized the
application and outlined that the hotel would like to create a casual cafe atmosphere with the
idea that the patrons would be able to stroll the plaza area. This was the basis for the request
to license that area. Eric Heil, Town Attorney, presented the following concerns:
• There needs to be a review of the PUD and the allowed uses on the plaza to determine
if the resort would be in compliance
• The attached proposed license agreement between the hotel owners /operators and the
property owners (the Confluence and Avon Station Metro Districts) was not adequate in
addressing liability and indemnification for the public plaza area
• The ability to hold individual liquor licenses within the boundaries of the Resort Complex
License and how that relates to potential liquor violations; it might be better to license
individual facilities
Chairman Wolfe opened the public hearing, no comments were made, the hearing was closed.
Board member Reynolds moved to table the modification of premises for East West Resorts
LLC & Riverfront Village Restaurant, LLC d /b /a the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa. Board
