Dear Ron:
Gaylord Entertainment Company requests an extension for CUP #CU08-01 granted on F
3/25/08 (copy attached)for the addition of guestrooms and expansion of the convention
center and #CU08-17 granted on 9/16/08 for the construction of a resort pool and event
pad at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.
With the assistance of various representatives of the City of Grapevine during the past
year, Gaylord has made significant progress on the complex issues involved in the
expansion. Regarding the USACE, the FONSI was issued on 8/26/08 and other i
reviews are in process. Lender review of the sublease amendment is in process and
completion is expected very soon. The expansion of the north resort garage is complete
($7.5 million). Overall design plans for the expansion will be complete in April, 2009 with
an additional investment of over$14 million by Gaylord for design. Various other
improvements have been completed (Glass Cactus— Light screens, landscaping,
darken interior LED lights, etc).
The reason for seeking the extension is our need to spend more time to assess the
economic climate, the availability of credit and the impact to our expansion
business model.
Gaylord appreciates the continued assistance of the City of Grapevine as we navigate
the economy and the complex processes required to complete this project.
ncerely,
ito
