CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chair Person Washington at 8:00 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the amended Minutes of the March 19, 1998 meeting were
unanimously approved.
Acting Chair Washington read the application as follows:
GLSN Realty Corp./Gjoko Shkreli - 176 Myrtle Blvd. -Block 133 Lot 642-sign (adjourned 3/19/98)
James Gaita of Envirospace, the designer for the project, appeared representing the applicant. He
presented an artist's rendering, samples of the materials to be used for exterior finishes and lighting cuts
for the project. He proposed a main building color of Dryvit#385A Sandpiper. The accent color would
be similar to#339A Caribou but custom-mixed to match the store front metal of Kawneer color Champagne
Rose. The storefront will have clear glazing. The steps and paving adjacent to the building will be a
custom-color which complements the building's color. The sidewalk and paving near the street will remain
as existing, since they were recently repaved.
Mr. Immerman suggested that the accent Dryvit in the custom color was an unnatural mauve color and that
the Dryvit color #339A Caribou was a more earth-toned color and thus more in keeping with the stucco
material.
After some discussion, the Board suggested that the finish color be Dryvit#385A Sandpiper for the bulk
of the building with #339A Caribou for the accent. The metal store front will be Kawneer Champagne
Rose with clear glazing.
The suggested round light fixture on the interior wall was not well received, so the Lightolier#6784 was
substituted because its square shape recalled more design elements in the building.
The sign company was represented by Mr. Gaits. The sign system was changed to be unlit individual
letters in a color which matches the storefront metal, standing away from the building plane with lighting
behind. The type style of each sign will be the distinguishing feature between tenants.
On a motion made by Mr. Immerman, seconded by Mr. Spagnola, the following resolution was
unanimously ADOPTED:

NEW BUSINESS
Two representatives from The Coughlin Insurance Company were at the meeting. They supported Mr.
Shkreli's proposed improvements to their next door neighbor. However, the extension of the front facade
of this building will hide the Coughlin sign on the side of their building. The Coughlins wanted to present
a proposal for raising the side lettering on their building and have the Board vote on it immediately. The
acting chair requested that they submit a proposal for the committee to study and consider at a later
meeting.
The BAR was very appreciative of Ms. Roma creating the running checklist.
Trader Joe's has installed a shopping cart corral across their entire storefront. Since it was not presented
to the BAR, members will observe the built facade and Mr. Carpaneto will review Town Code to see how
this issue can be addressed.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting of the BAR will be held on May 21, 1998.
ADJOURNMENT
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was unanimously adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
