Item No. 1. S
Tommy Landauer, Bob 2eeb, Bill Pierce,
Planning Director
in Setback. Lot
Dick Kvach stated this variance is for an infringement into the required front
yard setback. It is located on the northeast corner of the first building of
the fourplex. It encroaches into the required front yard about six inches.
This was discovered at the time the find plat was submitted.
Gary Stevens, owner, stated it was an oversight on their part.
Cheryl Dingwell moved that the request variance for the six inch infringement
be approved. The motion was seconded by Jim Meehan. With no further discussion
the variance was approved unanimously.
Item No. 2, High Country Warehouse "A-1 Auto Sign"
1. B
Dick Kvach stated the request is for a sign that is 28.5' long by 3' high or
85.5 square feet in size. It is made of white plastic, with blue letters and
gold trim on the letters. The sign exceeds the 64 square feet allowed by 21.5
square feet. Another sign has also been approved for the property which is
16 square feet in size but is not presently installed.
Henry Wolff, owner of High Country Warehouse, stated the sign was already made and
he would like to put it up.
Cheryl Dingwell stated that the sign exceeds the maximum allowed by 21.5 square
feet and they have not proved there is an undue hardship and therefore doesn't
feel Mr. Wolff should be given approval for 85 square feet.
Mike Blair asked if the Board could consider the scale and appearance of the sign.
Jerry Davis stated he would be willing to approve the sign if there were some
other stipulation in the approval that the maximum signage area could not exceed
what they are allowed by the regulations of 64 square feet, and limit the number
of business signs on the building.
Cheryl Dingwell moved to deny the application because the sign exceeds the maximum
allowed square footage. Motion was seconded by Tommy Landauer. Variance was denied
on a vote of 4 to 2 with 1 abstention by Jerry Davis.
Applicant was told that he could appeal the Board's decision to the Town Council.
This must be done within twenty (20) days of written notice by the Design Review
Board.
Other Business:
Dick Kvach stated there would be a Planning Commissioners meeting on
October 15 & 16, Friday and Saturday, at Copper Mountain. The registration
fee is $25.00 and the Town will pay the fee if anyone is interested.
Mike Blair asked if there was a report on the Benchmark Shopping Center painting.
Bill Pierce stated there had been three test patches made and they unanimously
decided on the present color.
Jerry Davis stated he would be abstaining on all voting or decisions on signing
because the Board deals with the Sign Code differently each time. He feels
that the different zones require different sign situations. He feels the
code should be worked on.
Jim Meehan stated that signs are important and beneficial.
Jerry Davis was also concerned with the generic sign at Avon Center "LIQUOR".
(Staff is to check into this).
After no further discussion, Cheryl Dingwell moved to approve the Minutes of
September 2, 1982 with the corrected spelling of "maximum". Motion was
seconded by Tommy Landauer and was approved unanimously.
Jerry Davis moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion was seconded by Tommy Landauer
and was passed unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
