HILTON SIGN APPEAL
After some discussion,.the.council and the attorney
for Hilton Inn, Jay K.Teterson,'.%reached a compromise
proposal for the Hilton sign. Councilman Steinberg
moved to approve,up to a 30 squarefoot sign to be
placed on one face of the building., which would be the
only sign allowed on that face. Stipulations of the
approval would include: that the building is already
overbuilt for the present allowance under the regulations
of the Building Code; that the setback from the street
and the legal implications have bearing on the decision.
Councilman White seconded the motion; Councilmembers
Staufer, Klug, Steinberg, White and Dobson voted in
favor; Councilman Donovan voted against because the
Hilton did not attempt to try and work within the
framework of the ordinance; the motion carried. The
town attorney was then instructed to draft a variance
approval letter.
VAILGLO SIGN
The Mayor stated that the Council has not been involved
in the matter and that it is the consensus of the members
that a reasonable solution be reached within the.frame-
work of the ordinance. He commented that the issue is to
determine what kind of -sign would be adequate for the
lodge's use. Mr. Warder, attorney for Vailglo, stated
that in June 1973 Vailglo had 'submitted an application
for a 22 square foot Best Western sign. He noted that
this sign is within the spirit of the new ordinance and
within the law of the old one. Mr. Holzfaster stated
that the sign would be internally lighted with a trans- .
lucent shield, the present free-standing 48 square foot
sign remaining in its present location. Councilman .White
commented that the sign leased from Best Western is not
in keeping with the goals of our sign ordinance.
Mr. Holzfaster said that the sign could be 20 square
feet but would have to resemble the crown emblem and..
have the.blue and yellow coloring. Discussion followed
with regard to details of an acceptable sign to both
parties. The town attorney requested that Mr. Warder
prepare a stipulation that would dismiss the suit in
the event the problem is solved administratively. Mr.
Warder replied that he would not release the court
date until the matter is resolved.
After further discussion, it.was decided that a meeting
would be held on Tuesday, June 18, prior to the regular
Council meeting of that date to finalize conditions
regarding the approval of an acceptable sign.
As there was no further business, the meeting was
adjourned at 2:00 P.M.
