APPROVAL OF MINUTES
No minutes were approved at this time.
Chairman Jacobson read the applications as follows:
Les Infants 1290 Boston Post Road,
Steve Chester from Signs Inc. appeared and addressed the Board; he explained the sign
application. Mr. Chester explained that the sign location has been moved further to the right,
(as one faces the store). The letter size has been changed and the proposed color was shown
to the Board.
After some discussion the Board felt that the color choice was not acceptable. The Board
decided to approve the sign in concept as far as letter placement finish and size. The applicant
is to submit colors to the Building Department for approval by the Board. Ronald Carpaneto will
distribute the samples as soon as they are received.
Mr. Jacobson read the next application.
FCD Parking Deck Lot 3 Myrtle Blvd.
Andrew Tung of Divney, Tung and Schwalbe appeared and addressed the Board and explained
the parking deck application. Mr. Tung explained that the design firm has submitted two
alternative drawings using brick for the structure finish.
After some discussion the Board approved the application in concept but wishes to become
more involved in the final design using brick as the finish. Chairman Jacobson will write a
memo to the Planning Board recommending approval of the project.
