5. Planning Commission Comments
6. Planning Director Report
Janet H. reported a trailer at 947 Main St. caught fire last week, where the trailer was destroyed
one person was hospitalized. Due to this incident, Xcel Energy inspected the gas line connections
per code. It was discovered that the gas conriection in 6 trailers are not connected per code
properly. Consequently, Xcel Energy red tagged them and tinned off the gas, for the resident's
safety.
The town code permits non -conforming structures to be repaired up to 50% the value of the
structure. The town red tagged 6 mobile homes and had to evacuate the tenants for unsafe living
conditions. The Fire department, Red Cross and the Salvation Army were contacted to assist and
relocate the tenants from the condemned trailers.
7. Anglers Sign Proposal
Janet H. explained the design and dimensions of the proposed illuminated sign.
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. Union Pacific Railroad Property Code Enforcement
Janet H. presented a map of the UPRR area, depicting existing uses and setbacks on the
Railroad property. She stated the town gave Mr. Jason Mashek, UPRR Real Estate Manager,
until April 30, 2018 to bring the zoning and land use into compliance.
Jeff A. asked, considering the number of several violations, specifically in the trailers, if
there had been any fees charged yet; no.
