COLORADO 80202 3622 TELEPHONE (303) 292-5656 TELECOPY (303) 292 -3152 Sender's Internet E-mail Address lkueter@invl. com The purpose of this letter is to put into context the comments from Walter A. Koelbel, Jr. of Koelbel and Company in a March 31, 1997 memorandum to various officials of the City of Louisville, regarding outstanding and unresolved issues related to the Commercial Development Design. Standards and Guidelines (the "Design Guidelines We represent Koelbel and C ompany, a principal in numerous entities owning property in Centennial Valley. As you are aware, the Gateway Design Guidelines were adopted July 6, 1995 by the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Development Agreement for Centennial Valley. The Gateway Design Guidelines are in place, and our client has a legal right, by the terms of the Development Agreement, to operate pursuant to the Gateway Design Guidelines. Notwithstanding the legal ability to operate pursuant to the Gateway Design Guidelines, there is a willingness, as to the retail portion of our client's property, to participate in and be subject to the Design Guidelines currently being considered. However, that willingness is conditioned upon a resolution of the issues set forth in the March 31, 1997 memorandum. We recognize that having the same design guidelines apply to Centennial Valley as to the rest of the retail property within the City has benefits to both our client and the City, particularly in the consistency of the application of rules, and consistency in dealing with design issues.
