The next item on the agenda was the appeal of the PEC decision regarding a
conditional use permit at the Inn at West Vail. Jim Sayre presented the
background information to the Council. He stated that this request for a
major arcade designation had been turned down by the PEC twice. There was
concern over being able to bring food and beverages into the arcade as well
as no live supervision in the arcade. Joe Varrone, the applicant., stated that
food and beverage had been restricted from the area and that the arcade was in
such an area that could be monitored by the front desk personnel at the Inn.
He stated that the request was to only add one additional. video game, thus
making it a major arcade. Jim Sayre stated that the staff approved the request.
Chuck Anderson stated that he would oppose the request, feeling that these types
of requests put too much pressure on the PEC and was setting a precedent for
other requests of this type. Ron Todd stated that he felt it was the parents
responsibility to supervise their children, not the Inn's and felt that this
was a reasonable request. Todd then made a motion to overturn the PEC decision
and allow the one additional video game to be added to the Inn with the under-
standing that the arcade would be up for review in a one year period, as is the
case with all other arcades in the Town of Vail. Bill Wilto seconded the motion.
Aote was taken and the motion passed 4-2 - Slifer and Anderson opposing.

The next item on the agenda was theappeal of the PEC decision regarding the
exterior alteration of the Lodge at Vail. Mayor Slifer stated that the Council
had made a trip to the proposed site that afternoon and felt that there were
several changes being proposed that had not been reviewed by the Planning Com-
mission when it was denied. He, therefore, stated that the Council felt that
the proposed changes shouldgo back to the Planning Commission next Monday for
further presentation. There was some concern expressed relating to parking
areas for the Lodge. A motion was made by Bill Wilto to send the request back
to the PEC and Gail Wahrlich seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the
motion passed unanimously with Chuck Anderson abstaining.
The next item on the agenda.was the appointment of two Liquor Licensing Authority
members and one Planning and Environmental Commission member. Howard Rapson was
appointed to the PEC position and Steve Simonett was appoint to one of the
LLA vacancies and a tie vote for the second seat resulted, thus making it
necessary to take another vote at the Nov. 1st meeting. For the record, Chuck
Anderson abstained from voting on the PEC member as he had a member of his
family as one of the applicants.
