CALL TO ORDER
The ZOOM meeting was called to order at 7:34PM.
The Chairman stated he was taking the items out of order.
1. 808 Weaver Street Bonnie Briar Country Club Facade (Awning)
Joe Napolitano, BB General Manager, and Gregory Sahagian of GS&S were present via ZOOM.
Mr. Jacobson questioned the choice of color for the awning, as the color doesn't work from
Weaver Street. Mr. Napolitano explained that the beige color matches the stucco on the sides of
the building, and will hopefully make the area cooler by reflecting the sunlight.
Ms. Neff stated that the green color didn't work either.
The Board discussed the awning.
Motion: To approve the awning color as submitted.
Moved by Ken Ricci, seconded by Joseph Shein
Action: Unanimously approved
2. 1289 Boston Post Road APPLE Bank Signage
George Boyle, Architect, and Mitchell Jacobs from APPLE Bank were present via ZOOM.
Mr. Boyle stated that they made changes to the signage in response to the Boards comments last
month. Also as requested they are sprucing up the existing landscaping on Boston Post Road
with a large number of pollinators.
Mr. Jacobson stated he is impressed with the toned down graphics and the monument sign is at
an acceptable height.
Signage inside the bank was discussed and Mr. Boyle stated it would be in the back of the space
which the Board found acceptable.
The Board discussed the plan, Mr. Jacobson stated the internal illumination requires a Zoning
variance, he will write a letter stating the Board is in favor of the internal illumination.
Motion: To approve the plan as submitted
Moved by Edward Jacobson, seconded by Ken Ricci
