The Scoop, 35 Church St., Map 43 Parcel 170, sign and window. Originally scheduled for August 18, 2009, but the applicant was not present; therefore the meeting was rescheduled to tonight.
Two letters of support, both the same, signed by Judie Culver, Purple Plume; Jason Macioge, Betty’s; and Jimmy Tran were acknowledged to be in file.
Two applications were submitted, one for the sign and the other for the “take out” window. Presenting the applications was the owner of The Scoop, Jennifer Nacht.
JB made a motion to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for the sign as presented. SS seconded the motion and the Commission approved 3-0.

Tanglewool Follow Up: At the August 18, 2009 meeting, the Commission discussed a letter of August 12, 2009 from Building Inspector Bill Thornton to Tanglewool advising that the enclosure added to this building on the east side was done without a building permit and that Tanglewool should contact the Building Inspector immediately. The Commission questioned the letter being addressed to the tenant, Tanglewool, instead of the owner of the structure. On August 19, 2009 PA sent a letter to the Building Inspector requesting that he notify the owners of the property. Mr. Thornton responded and sent the violation notice on August 19 to the owner, Bruni Beckman.
After a review of this issue, the consensus of the Commissioners was that there was no need to have the owner come before the HDC.
JB made a motion to adjourn at 6:00 pm and SS seconded the motion. The Commission voted to adjourn 3-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Peggy Ammendola
