22
homeowners' association(s) of Riverwalk owners the right to establish procedures requiring that it
receive and /or review Qualification Packages before they are submitted to Eagle County, and/or to
act as a clearinghouse to receive, review and submit same to Eagle County, provided that any
decision on qualification it makes is not binding on Eagle County and provided that an Owner, lessee
or subleasee whose Qualification Package is rejected by the Project Developer may thereafter
submit the Qualification Package directly to Eagle County. The time within which Eagle County may
make its determination shall not be affected by the existence or use of such procedures.
