NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Additional Directional Sign
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Zoning Board granted the special permit for an additional directional ground sign based on the information submitted with the
application.
In granting the special permit, the Board found that the criteria in 7.2M had been met.
1) Signs are located only where they are otherwise permitted in the district; and
(2) The Board of Appeals determines that the architecture of the building, the location of the building or the land or nature of the use
being made of the building or land is such that additional signs or signs of a larger size would not detract from the character of the
neighborhood and should be permitted in the public interest.
The building has three street fronts but one entrance. The additional sign serves to direct patrons coming from one side that doesn't
have the drive entrance.
(3) The Board of Appeals specifies in the permit the exact sign permitted, the size and location of the sign or signs, and, if applicable,
imposes other restrictions. Any change in said signs requires a new or revised special permit.
