RE : Request for Continuance for Highlands lot 7, 8, 10 & 13
Davidon is requesting a continuance for the scheduled Planning Commission hearings on Feb 24th for Lots 7, 8, 10 & 13,
due to the Town's ongoing discussions regarding the view analysis methodology. Due to the anticipated length of time
this issue will take to resolve, please continue these hearings to late April 2016.
Also, I will not be able to attend the Feb 24th hearing to confirm that PC grants the continuance. Please notify the
commissioners in advance of my absence.
Thanks,
CAVICON HoMes
