The July 24 meeting, discussed by Brian Lence at the Roxborough Park Foundation neighborhood community meeting and stated on the Douglas County website, has been postponed indefinitely by Pomeroy LodgingLP. 

To the right, is the letter that was provided to Douglas County on July 6, 2023, by Kimley-Horn, Planning and Design Engineering Consultants on behalf of Pomeroy Lodging LP.

In addition, Brian Lence, Roxborough Park Foundation Manager, also sent a similar update in the neighborhood Echos Newsletter on July 7, 2023 which is copied below.

Dear Roxborough Park Foundation Homeowner:

Re:  Pomeroy’s Nordic Spa – July 24th Planning Commission Hearing Update!

Yesterday, July 6th, 2023, Pomeroy’s representative wrote to Douglas County Planning with the following request:

“Please accept this email as our written request to withdraw our Planning Commission hearing date of July 24th for the Pomeroy Nordic Spa Application. We are desirous of continuing to collaborate with stakeholders and need the additional time to conduct that engagement. We are not requesting to postpone to a date certain at this time. We want to provide further clarity in our application packet before requesting a hearing date with the Planning Commission. Thank you for your continued involvement and all the work from Douglas County. We will also provide notification to the Roxborough Foundation.”

I do not know which stakeholders they are referring to, nor do I know what form this “engagement” will take place. A voicemail was also left for both me and Charles Packard, the General Manager of Arrowhead Golf Course with the same notification, but in Arrowhead’s case, Charles was told that they needed to “work through some legal issues.” Bottom line, it would be pure speculation to decipher what exactly is meant by any of this and won’t achieve anything.
