With regard to an appeal from the Alaskan Shop concerning a
mural on the door, Jay K. Peterson was present to represent
the owner of the shop~;:. Chuck McLaughlin. Lou Parker of the;
Design Review Board commented that the mural was done without
being presented to the Board; the Design Review Board has
subsequently voted 3:2 against the use of the mural. The
Board's reasoning is that the mural is part of the logo and is.
therefore a sign. As a sign, it does not meet the require-
ments of the sign ordinance. Mr. Parker also mentioned that
the sign was illegally constructed after a 'stop work' order
had been issued. The Mayor stated that the two issues should
be dealt with separately, i.e. legal and design issues.
The town attorney was instructed to advise the Council con-
cerning the definitions of 'mural' and 'sign'. The Council
will make a decision upon receipt of a.legal opinion. Council-
man Steinberg requested that the staff.take a survey of shop -
owners in the area to determine their feelings on the matter..
It was the consensus of the Council that the staff prepare a
report on their findings. The appeal was deferred to a later
date.
• With regard to a request for a conditional use permit to allow
construction of a ski storage area on.the east side of the
Golden Peak Restaurant building, Bob Gagne of Vail.Associates
was present to explain details of the proposal. Two hundred
seventy square feet would be enclosed. Mr. Lamont reported
that the Planning Commission had voted 5:0 in favor of the
extension. Councilman Langmaid moved to approve the request;
Councilman Steinberg seconded ,the motion; the vote was unaai
mous in favor, and the motion carried.

parking on the public right-of-way, Mr. John Curry, member
of the board of directors of the condominium association was
present to discuss the ,matter with the council. The town
manager and town engineer had, studied. he .site and concluded
that a survey should be taken by the town before a decision ,
could be made. The town engineer. was instructed -to survey
the site and prepare a report for the council..
Mr. Bud Benedict, representing the Lionshead business community,
presented a letter to the Town Council requesting consideration
of various points that the Lionshead citizens feel important
to the development of their community. Items included: tennis
