• With regard to a request by Geraldine Cohen to allow the addition of
350 sq. ft. total to three existing non -conforming units in the Row
Houses (Lots 4, 5 and 6), the zoning administrator stated that all
three owners had requested the GRFA allowance in order to cover their
patios. Two of the owners would like to add square footage to the
lofts. Jay K. Peterson was present to represent Mrs. Cohen. The.
Mayor stated that in work session that afternoon the council had
decided to allow the addition of square footage to the interior,
but they would want to consult with the Planning Commission to
review the patio requests. It was their opinion that the Design
Review Board also needs to look at the request. Mr. Peterson noted
that the Design Review Board review would be a totally different
process, separate from the Council's. Councilman Steinberg moved
to allow the addition of such square footage as has been requested
but not to allow any changes in the patios on the front of the building
at this time; Councilman Langmaid seconded the motion; Councilmembers
Klug, Steinberg, Langmaid and Slevin voted in favor; Councilman
Donovan opposed the request; the motion carried.
With regard to the status of Cable television, the Mayor introduced
Mr. T. E. Austin, the new manager of the local office. The Mayor
then referred to a letter from Mr. Wm. Brazeal, Vice President of
CTI, which noted the items outlined in the franchise agreement which
have been completed by the company. The letter also stated that
there would be an opinion survey taken in September of this year,
and that a Master Plan has been submitted to the Town of Vail staff.
Mr. Austin then answered questions posed by citizens attending the
meeting. He commented that cables would be buried on Beaver Dam
Road within two to three weeks. He then explained in detail how
the Bighorn extension will proceed, the company plans to go just
past the Racquet Club before the winter. Any other parties wishing
to be serviced will be required to have 10 subscribers per 1,320
feet, with a cost of $2 per foot to extend the line.to be paid
by the subscribers. Ms. Barbara Loken stated that the Booth Creek
residents were not told that service to their area was to be con-
ditional, and in her opinion the Town Council did not inform the
public. Michael Loken asked that since there are only 8 residents
at Booth Creek, if ten subscribers would request hook-up, two being
in vacant lots, and the hookup fee plus monthly rate agreed to be
paid to the company, when could they get service. Don Morris, regional
supervisor for CTI, stated that Booth Creek could have service in a
month. Mr. Austin then encouraged people to keep in touch with him
at the local office if they have any problems and that it is his
. intention to provide good service to the residents of this area.

the Mayor announced that the first reading of the ordinance on the
subject would take place at the September 2 Council meeting.
The Mayor asked for comments, but there were none.

addressed the community with regard to a performance which will be
held on Sunday, August 24, sponsored by the Vail Institute. She noted
that this Colorado based group has the goal of community involvement
and the exchange of ideas.
