Appellant has shown good cause as to why the Sketch Plan approval should be extended in that: a. the Sketch Plan was approved on March 1, 1994; b. the Preliminary Plan was submitted for approval a short time later in August of 1994; C. the Planning Commission considered the proposed Preliminary Plan on November 2, 1994; d. the Planning Commission tabled the Preliminary Plan application indefinitely, subject to the Appellant obtaining state highway access permit, which tabling was incompatible with §2.25.01(1) of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations which allows tabling for no more than six months; e. the Appellant obtained his access permit on or about December 19, 1994, satisfying the condition imposed by the Planning Commission, but the Planning Commission did not consider the Preliminary Plan again. 2. Extending approval of the Wolcott Village Sketch Plan promotes the efficient development and preservation of the entire planned unit development and does not affect, in a substantially adverse manner, the enjoyment of land abutting the Wolcott Village and the public interest. 2 3. The Appellant is responsible for proceeding with Preliminary Plan consideration such that the pending Preliminary Plan application shall be submitted to the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners for its consideration of approval, in accordance with the Eagle County Land Use Regulations, prior to the expiration of the Sketch Plan. THAT, the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners hereby approves the request for an extension of the Sketch Plan, for a period of six months, until July 21, 1997, and finds that the pending Preliminary Plan application, submitted in August of 1994 is still valid.
