The meeting convened at 4:15 p.m. Jim Cunningham, representing the
Architectural Control Board, gave a presentation on the proposed
expansion of the Lodge. Mr. Cunningham explained that although the
developers are conforming to the Zoning Ordinance as regards building
materials, floor area ratio and other zoning requirements, the Archi-
tectural Control Board feels that the expansion would result in an over-
development of the site. However, Mr. Cunningham expressed the
opinion that the parking requirement might be utilized to curtail this
expansion. He pointed out that they would need 227 parking spaces
just for the condominiums and if the Forest Service granted them the
on -street variance they desire, they would still have only 197 spaces.
The Board and Planning Commission then discussed the ramifications
of this project and it was pointed out that the past history of the Lodge
in regards to its sale by Vail Associates might create some problems.
However, Dr. Steinberg pointed out that if the Town does intend to
support the concept of an aesthetically pleasing community, now should
be the time to take a stand, even if it means going to court. There was
unanimous agreement on this proposal,
Mayor Dobson then showed the Board the blueprint for Peter Seibert
Circle at Golden Peak, the Town's contribution to the loth Anniversary
honoring of Mr. Seibert. The cost of the project, exclusive of the
metal statue, will be approximately $5,000.00.
Walter Lawson of Charles Gathers Associates of Denver gave a slide
presentation of French and Italian ski resorts, pointing out the inno-
vations that they have achieved in the field of mountain recreation:
development.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p. m.
