III. OLD BUSINESS
- “New England Rendokan” Sign
665 Boston Post Road, Map 36/Lot 103
Shopping Center B-2 District
Applicant: Darryl Baleshiski
Mr. Baleshiski presented on behalf of this proposal which is for the installation of a 2’ x 8’ sign. At the May 13, 2013 meeting, members asked Mr. Baleshiski to increase the dimension of the sign to 3’ x 8’. However, the Zoning Enforcement Officer determined that the 3’ x 8’ sign is nonconforming and the size cannot be increased without a variance.
Ms. Yust stated that Mr. Baleshiski was asked to provide additional information on the proportion to the existing sign and further detail on the color of the sign.
Mr. Baleshiski presented members with a design for a second sign which he would like to install on the back wall under the canopy in front of the store. This sign will replace the “police” sign.
Mr. Brodeur suggested that Mr. Baleshiski speak with Christina Costa, Zoning Enforcement Officer to discuss the redesign, the dimensions and the installation of two signs.
