CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Zoning Board issued the special permit for the replacement sign package at Stop & Shop based upon the application materials
submitted.
The Board found the following criteria in section 7.2 M to be met:
Signs are located only where they are otherwise permitted in the district; and
(2) The Board of Appeals determined that the architecture of the building, is such that additional signs would not detract from the
character of the neighborhood and should be permitted in the public interest.
The store sits well back from the street is reducing the number and total square footage of sign from their previous special permit. The
signs indicate products sold within.
(3) The Board of Appeals specified the number and size be that shown on the plans for a total of 352 square feet in 11 signs including the
main 193+- sf Stop & Shop sign.
