The Board of Trustees, acting as the Board of Appeals, considered an appeal submitted by Norman Silge, dba HAPPY CAMPER, 857 Moraine Avenue. Mr. Silge installed sheet floor vinyl on eight (8) public shower walls and glued this material to water resis- tant gypsum board in lieu of ceramic tile or equal shower wall covering as required by the Uniform Building Code. Mr. Silge stated the vinyl covering is ideal material for this use with respect to cleanliness. The covering has been caulked on all Board of Trustees - August 9, 1988 - Page two edges to prevent moisture from entering and detaching from the wall. However, at the base of the floorline, moisture is working on the adhesive itself. Mr. Silge stated this problem could be corrected at the end of the tourist season. In Mr. Silge's opinion, there is little fire hazard due to the operation of the public showers. Building Official Allman rejected the use of the vinyl sheet flooring on the shower walls based upon Sections 510 and 4202 of the Uniform Building Code. The Trustees reviewed a memorandum dated August 1, 1988 submitted by Building Official Allman. Should vandalism occur, Mr. Silge stated the entire vinyl sheet would be replaced. Louis O'Riordan addressed the Trustees stating toxic fumes are released by such vinyl materials due to fire, and this concern should also be addressed. Building Official Allman confirmed that a cross-section or detailed plan had not been submitted at the time the building permit was issued. The burden lies with the Contractor to confirm uses of materials. In rebuttal, Mr. Silge stated the sheet vinyl is primarily self -extinguishing, it is impervious to moisture and it does not contract bacteria. Mr. Silge also stated he had been in the interior contracting business for 25 years. Following additional discussion, Trustee Barker moved the appeal be denied. Trustee Habecker, reiterating the burden does lie with the contractor, seconded the motion and it passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich, Barker, Dickinson, Habecker, and Hix. Those voting "No" Trustee Garrett. Trustee Barker also moved Mr. Silge be allowed an extension until October 15, 1988 in which to correct the code violations. Trustee Aldrich seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Trustee Dickinson moved the Change of Ownership of the Tavern Liquor License from COT Development Co., Inc., dba ESTES PARK RECREATION CENTER, 555 S. Saint Vrain Ave. to Steven R. and Barbara J. Nytes be approved. Trustee Aldrich seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Trustee Hix moved the Tavern Liquor License renewal submitted by King's Royal Caterers Ltd., 1191 Woodstock Drive be approved. Trustee Garrett seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Trustee Aldrich moved the Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License renewal submitted by the Lazy T Motor Lodge, 1340 Big Thompson Avenue be approved. Trustee Barker seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Trustee Hix moved the Retail Liquor Store License renewal submit- ted by RAMS Liquor Store, 311 West Elkhorn Avenue be approved.
