III. NEW BUSINESS
A. “Lifetime Solutions” Signs
220 Old Boston Post Road (Map 28/Lot 58)
B-2 District
Applicant/Agent: Richard Cocoran
Paula Dobratz presented for Lifetime Solutions. She explained where the business is located on the Boston Post Road and how the colors of the sign represent the seasons of life. Lifetime Solutions is part of the VNA.
Kingmon Snow asked if the sign to be located on the chimney would be illuminated. Paula responded that they do not intend to light the sign. If it is to be a lighted sign a new application would need to be filed with the Architectural Review Board.
The board recommended that the sign located on the chimney have a dark boarder or frame added so as not to wash out against the white chimney.
The board recommends that the sign located on the front of the building contain a wider band of colors or a solid color which can either be inside or outside of the existing “rainbow” colors to set the sign off from the white background of the building.
In addition, the board recommends that sign does not cover any portion of the circular window frame above the door and must be evenly spaced between the door head trim and the bottom of the “key” in the circular window frame.
MOTION to approve Lifetime Solutions’ signs with recommendations as presented:
MOVED by E. Swenson; SECONDED by K. Snow
