Re: Ironbridge Phase III PUD and Filing 1 Plat/Affordable Housing Agreement
Dear Kathy,
In our informal meeting last week and our discussion by phone today, I brought you up to date
on the meetings and other communication with Kate Gazunis, Executive Director of the Garfield
County Housing Authority. On September 21, 2015 the BOCC approved the Phase III Filing 1
Final Plat. During that meeting we agreed that Blue Heron Properties would work with Ms.
Gazunis to outline within 90 days of that meeting a plan for the development of 6 affordable
housing units. While I am delighted to report that Kate and we have been working well
together and have made substantial progress, I am requesting a 90 -day extension for the
Affordable Housing Agreement.
