Dem PEC, DRB and TOV Town Council,
Do to practical difficulties and physical hardships as would result
from the strict interpretation and/or enforcement of the zoning
regulations, Verbatim Booksellers located at 100 E. Meadow Dr.,
would like to request a sigr variance. We would like to replace the
"Phoenix Rising" sign located at 100 E. Meadow Dr.
(which is 20" x 30" - see attached) with a new, cedar sand-blasted
sign of the same size, but shaped like an open book with the words:
BOOKS
Magazines
Gifts
In addition there would be an arrow pointing up the stairs
underneaththe word "gifts." This would be a 2-sided sigrr with
library green lettering that would allow potential customers to
locate our store, which is hidden behind several buildings
including the Alpenrose Tea Room (also located at 100 E. Meadow
Drive).
Simply put, you cannot see or find Verbatim Booksellers, at 100 E.
Meadow Dr., for it is located behind other buildings.
Enclosed find application fee of $200-00.
Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing in support ofthe sign variance requested by Verbatim Booksellers.
Besides unique "one-of-a-kind" shops, a charming bookstore like Verbatim is one of the
things that bring locals and guests to town. We need to do everything we can to make the
business environment positive for these hardworking folks. It is always fun to discover a
small interesting shop in a back alley, but how good is it for the shop? Survival of these
businesses depends on good foot traffrc, but when the business is not located on one of
the main streets good signage becomes essential.
Robert Aikens is a good citizen of Vail and Verbatim is a definite asset. Robert will
design a tasteful sign that will increase interest in the entire neighborhood. Please do
everything you can to promote his success.
Thank you,
Jarr,-.+lrutt

To Whom It May Concern:
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Verbatim Booksellers after a long absence. Why
the absence? Since moving to its new location I have been unable to locate the store. I
sincerely hope the Town Council will approve a variance allowing the placement of a
tasteful hanging sign on East Meadow Drive directing people to the bookstore.
It is in the Town's best interest to encourage visitors and locals alike to spend their
dollars in Vail. Unfortunately, it is much easier to direct people to the Bookworm in
Edwards than it is to direct them to Verbatim Booksellers. Robert Aikens and his staff
provide quality service in a friendly and professional way. Verbatim has contributed
greatly to not only Vail but also the entire Valley. Big boxes, the likes of Borders and
Barnes and Noble, are replacing nationwide independent bookstores. It would be
shameful for the Town of Vail to not do everlthing possible to ensr.re Verbatim is a
Iasting presence in the Eagle Valley.
Sincere

Greetings:
I would like to encourage the Vail Town Council Members to honor Robert Aikens'
request for a Meadow Drive sigrr directing people to Verbatim. It is critical for the small
business person to be able to attract foot traffic in Vail, but without a sign in a
conspicuous place, it is difficult to do so. Even when I was looking specifically for the
new Verbatim during the Christmas season, it was entirely serendipitous that I found it!
As a librarian and bookstore patron, I feel very strongly that bookstores are important to
our democratic American way of life. We in this valley value our local bookstores and
want them to flourish.
Please allow the Mr. Aiken's sign to be installed in a more prominent place. Thank you
for your consideration and support.
