HomeMy WebLinkAboutDRB120030 email to Benno Scheidegger - construction sign violationHey Benno,
I left a voicemail message on your cell phone earlier this afternoon, but wanted to follow-up on this item in an email as well.
It has come to our attention that two freestanding construction signs have been erected at the Lapin Residence construction site. Pursuant to Section 11-7-13: Construction Signs, Vail
Town Code, and the approval of design review application #DRB120030, only one construction sign is allowed at this construction site. Additionally, the one construction sign can not
be freestanding and must instead be mounted to the construction fence.
For your records, please find attached a copy of the design review approval for the Lapin Residence construction sign that was sent to Ted Leach, Vail Custom Builders, on February 23rd.
