AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE
Proposed Amendment #1.
ARTICLE III GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 318 Signs
Sub-Section 318.2 Replace the words "a sign with incandescent lighting" with the words "an externally illuminated sign" in the first sentence and add the words "phone number and/or website" after the word "address" in the first sentence so the section reads as follows: "In any residential district, an externally illuminated sign, not exceeding four square feet per face is permitted which announces the name, address, phone number and/or website, or professional or home business of the occupant of the premises on which said sign is located. One off-site sign is allowed with the written permission from the landowner and the Board of Selectmen.".
Add a new Sub-Section 318.2, A, to read as follows: "Externally illuminated signs in the residential district shall be shielded in such a way as to produce no glare, undue distraction, confusion or hazard to the surrounding area or to vehicular traffic. Illumination shall be properly focused upon the sign itself.".
Proposed Amendment #2.
ARTICLE III GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 318 Signs
Sub-Section 318.5 Add the words "phone number and/or website" after the words "products sold" so the section reads as follows: "The primary purpose of the sign shall be for identification and not for advertising and may state only the owner, trade names, trademarks, products sold, phone number and/or website and/or the business or activity conducted on the premises on which the sign is located.".
AMENDMENTS TO THE BUILDING CODE
Proposed Amendment #1
CHAPTER NB-4.0 Smoke Alarms
In the first paragraph, second sentence, add the words "in each stall" after the words "a heat detector" so that the sentence reads as follows: " Attached garages shall include a heat detector in each stall interconnected with required smoke detectors.".
