The third item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1995,
an animal control and carriage operations ordinance.
Tom Moorhead and Bob Slagle presented this ordinance. This is a comprehensive
animal control ordinance that also addresses carriage operations in addition to other
animal issues. The ordinance now provides for leash free zones as Council directed.
Council was asked to pass Ordinance No. 5 with either the leash provisions as contained
in Ordinance passed on first reading or as are presently in effect which require leash
control in specified areas of the Town.
The following citizens came forward to make comments: Matt Donovan, Chuck Ogilby,
Sue Dugan, Chris Meisel, Flo Steinberg, Walt Olson, Tom Talbot, Diana Donovan, Blondi
Vucich, and Bob Berger.
The Council asked if staff could modify the ordinance eliminating the expanded leash
law, but strengthening the definition of what it means to have a dog under control. The
remaining provisions of the ordinance received support from the Council, including
additional protection, enforcement and penalty actions related to dangerous dogs;
regulation of horse-drawn carriages; and an accelerated citation process to handle
barking dog complaints.

property for employees. The property shall be located within the Town of Vail and
favorable loan terms will be made available by the Town's pledge of funds in the
amount of ten (10%) percent of the purchase price of the individual properties. The
properties will be subject to deed restrictions which will guarantee that the properties

The fifth item on the agenda was Town Council Call -Up of the Approved New
Temporary Sign for the Cornice Building Sign located at 362 Vail Valley Drive/Part of

George Ruther presented this item. At the April 25, 1995, Town Council meeting the
Town Council members unanimously approved a motion to call up the DRB approval
of a new temporary site development sign at the Cornice Building. The temporary site
development sign was unanimously approved by the DRB on April 19, 1995. The
approval from the DRB carried with it two conditions:
1) The sign be set in the ground on posts rather than a moveable structure as
currently designed, and
2) The sign be removed once the property is sold or by 4/19/96, whichever
comes first.
The new temporary site development sign request was reviewed by staff to insure full
compliance with Chapter 16 (sign code) of the Municipal Code.
Alan Aarons representing High Tech Signs was present.
After Council discussion regarding the size and content of the sign, the intention of
section 16.20.160, Temporary Site Develovment Signs; and the fact that it had been
• displayed within approval, Paul Johnston moved to overturn the DRB approval of the
new temporary sign for the Cornice Building sign with a second by Tom Steinberg. A
vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
The fifth item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report.
