Mr. Dave Budniakiewicz, 106 Main St., showed a video of the art designer's work back in Austin, TX. Jeff A. asked if the neon light would be in the front or the back of the sign. Mr. Budnialdewicz stated he believes it will be behind it. Burke H. and Greg S. affirmed they don't have a problem with the sign, they said it looks cool and blends in with the town's style. Lynn T. liked the idea of the sign as well and appreciates the use of neon lights in a subtle way. She suggested that rather than most of the sign being neon red, outside on the border lines and the inside lettering, she stated a darker color inside would look better. Motion by Jeff A., second by Greg S., to approve the sign application design for the Minturn Anglers shop at 106 Main St. With the condition that the sign resembles more to their actual sticker colors, with blue letters inside and not as much neon red. And that the inside "C" letter is only bordered in red, not filled up all in bright red. Motion passed 4-0. 8.
