To Whom it May Concern in the Northampton Building Department,
In 2010, Tuesday Market received approval (see attached contract) from the mayor and the
parking commissioner to attach a seasonal sign on the wall of the parking garage facing the
plaza where the market is located. The sign is 10' X 2.5' and is anchored to the garage wall
with concrete anchors. We remove it in November and put it back up in late April. The contract
does not specify the size of the sign, but we received approval for its dimensions from former
parking commissioner Bill Letendre. As of this year the policies regarding Northampton farmers
markets have changed. We are now filing this application for a sign permit. I am not sure
whether our existing sign is within the permitted dimensions. Nevertheless, I am requesting
that we be allowed to continue using our existing sign. It is a quality sign hand - painted by artist
Jonathon Kohrman at significant expense to the market ($1,200). If we were to change the sign
dimensions, we would need to make an entirely new sign and to put new anchors in the wall of
the garage. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter
further. Thank you!
