Mr. John R. Crowley
Chairman, Colorado Land Use Commission
1550 Lincoln Street
Denver, Colorado 80203

Dear Mr. Crowley:

Marble Ski Area, Inc. has provided its complete cooperation to the Land
Use Commission in affecting remedial action regarding the five recommenda-
tions included in the Colorado Geological Survey Report dated July 23, 1973.
To this end meetings have been scheduled between our representatives and
members of your staff on the following dates: July 30, August 2 (at which time
John Andrews and Wilbert Ulman attended a detailed engineering seminar on
the slopes of Mt. Daly) August 13, and August 21, 1973.

Our purpose has been to take responsible action with the review and approval
of your agency so that deficiencies can be corrected without the necessity
of invoking your emergency powers. To this end, Charles J. Kelly, President
of Marble Ski Area, Inc., publicly announced at a meeting of the Gunnison
County Commissioners on August 7, 1973 that we have suspended land sales until
November 1, 1973. By that time we expect to have completed the necessary
reevaluation of presently filed plats to satisfy the reservations expres-
sed at the July 25, 1973 Land Use Commission meeting.

We understand that concern has been expressed over lots which have already
been sold where development could proceed despite the moratorium on sales.
We have examined the matter and found that no development of any kind can
proceed without the approval of the Marble Ski Area Association, Inc.
which is controlled by our corporation. Section 9.2 of the protective
covenants for Marble, which have been transmitted to your staff, provide.
that"No change in the existing state of property shall be made or permitted
without the prior written approval of the Association...."

A letter signed by the corporate officers of Marble is being forwarded to
you asserting that no development will be approved by the association
prior to November 1, without approval of your Commission and the State
Geologist. .

We would appreciate your written confirmation that these measures undertaken
voluntarily by the developer are sufficient to protect the public interest
and therefore, remove any necessity,on the part of the commission to exercise
