CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Wassman at 8:05 PM.
The Chairman expressed the concern of the Board regarding the brightness
of signs and requested the Building Inspector to assess the brightness of
signage and their conformance with the Sign Code. The design concept of
white background with opaque letters appears to exacerbate the Board's
concerns.

AMERICA'S CHICKEN - Sign Application
1240 West Boston Post Road
Block 407 Lot 192
Andrew Friedman, owner, appeared. He stated that it was important to use
his company's logo in his storefront sign. The Board noted the
checkerboard used was not in said logo but was nice and persuaded Mr.
Friedman to alter the colors used in his design so that there could be
continuity within the shopping center. The background would be bronze.
Mr. Wassman declared that the B.A.R. is the Lead Agency and that this is
a Type II Action.
On motion of Mrs. Washington, seconded by Mr. Immerman, the B.A.R.
approved the signs for America's Chicken. The pole sign shall be similar
to the existing signs in size and be brown with white letters. The
storefront sign shall be made of bronze anodized aluminum with cut-out
letters. The letters shall be edged with white and shall be teal in
color. The checkerboard design which is typical of the franchise logo
was approved also.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion of Mrs. Washington, seconded by Mr. Immerman, the meeting was
adjourned at 8:40 PM.
