CALL TO ORDER

APPLICATION NO. 1 Music Studio of Westchester 1328 Boston Post Road
Walter Oudhevsden from Sign Stop addressed the Board, and discussed the results of the informal
meeting held with the property owner the applicant and Town Staff regarding the signs. It was
determined that
1. An electrical internally illuminated sign would be placed over the entrance, either florescent or
LED.
2. A carved sign would be over the Boston Road drive thru.
Sign would remain unlit until the applicant goes before the Zoning Board of Appeals and a variance is
granted.
The depth of the sign was discussed florescent would require a depth of 10+ inches whereas LED
requires only 3-4 inches. The Board prefers the slimmer profile.
On motion of Mr. Ricci, seconded by Mr. Shien the signs were approved as presented.

The owner of the building supports the new color and will also do a new awning at Pete’s variety and
the unoccupied store.
The graphic was discussed, Mr. Burke stated he would like to glue in translucent sunbrella material
lettering which would be lit from the lights below the awning.
The lighting was discussed, as to whether it could be considered internally illuminated. If the lighting is
to remain Mr. Jacobson would like to see a fixture around the light. All stores must be the same.
Ms. Neff stated there is no need for the light fixture as the light from inside the store would be enough,
she also stated she would like to see an example of the proposed signage before she could approve it.
If the applicant would like lighting they must come back for that approval.
It was pointed out that the measurement of the Fun Cuts sign was incorrect it should be 93 inches in
length with a height of 6 inches.
Mr. Burke stated he will return for the lighting fixtures if the applicant wants them.
On motion of Mr. Shien, seconded by Mr. Ricci the Board approved the application of the Cut Above for
the awning and sign with the removal of the light fixture.
