Box 2743 Palm Springs, CA 92263 Re: Case 5.0741; TTM 28507, Preliminary PDD 246 Dear Mr. Evans, On behalf of Mr. Stanley Broxmeyer, the applicant and property owner of the above referenced project, I am requesting a one year time extension of the approvals. The project is in the midst of an extensive "due diligence" period by Coach Colony Corporation. Financing issues, as always, have been slow and tedious. We feel this use is still perfect for this location and would appreciate an additional extension. As you are aware, the Phase I drawings are completed with the exception of final City of Palm Springs and Caltrans approvals. I have attached a letter from Coach Colony Corporation indicating their continued interest. Thank you for your and your staffs continued assistance with regards to this project. 5i risto er S.
