To the Members of the Town Council,
l apologize that I am taking up your time again with a past issue, knowing how busy you are this time of the year.
It is regarding the DRB decisions made on April14th.regarding the Canvas Color over the covered Patio and the existing color of the retractable awning over the Porch.
The last meeting I had with the DRB the Board did give me the approval of the yellow/white strived canvas for the Patio cover to replace the old and faded one … with the condition attached that I change the existing color of the retractable Awning located over Restaurant Entrance which is a lighter brown canvas, almost of the same color of the balcony above, with the yellow/white striped canvas of the covered Patio… or with a solid yellow canvas.
At that time, I accepted the change which I promised to do after the winter season.
This winter, during a sunny day we have been ask by guests to be covered by the retractable Awning, it looked great and was appreciated.
It was then that I consulted a Graphic Designer for advice. He had some photos put it all together for me to see how the front of Gasthof Gramshammer would look like with the whole Patio of Pepi’s Restaurant in stripes … or, as recommended by the DRB that the canvas cover on the Porch site would be a solid yellow cover instead of the existing brown.
I did not care for that look. It is not us!
The result does not do justice to Gasthof Gramshammer’s Lodge which has not only been our Business in Guest service but also our home for 54 years.
Over the years we have invested more time and effort on our outside in making sure that we are keeping the “Heart of Vail” alive!
The life and festive quality of the Village has been given by judicious use of accent elements which give color, movement and contrast to the heart of Vail Village.
I would very much appreciate if the Council could take another look at the whole picture and help me to make the right decision.
Sorry for the inconvenience and time you are spending trying to help solving (hopefully) that “small” problem.
