NEW BUSINESS A) An application from Ernest E. Hamilton to alter an existing free-standing sign, located at 218 U.S . Highway One, South by increasing the height by two ( 2.) feet and by adding a new sign to the structure. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes March 28, 1990 Page 2 Building Official , Scott Ladd. reviewed applicant ' s intent and explained to the Board that total overall allowance for the sign is sixty ( 60 ) square feet , and twenty ( 20 ) feet in height as the maximum allowed. Paul Cohen asked if the sign was in a legal space . Mr . Ladd responded "No. Mr . Hamilton signed an Agreement and Bonding Plan within which a modification can be made to a non-conforming sign prior to the five-year amortization. The sign is presently only in violation by not being in the middle one-third of the property. " The sign size is in compliance. The lower portion of the sign is discounted as far as size is concerned, as long as signage does not appear there . Therefore , the adding of two feet to the top of the sign would keep the sign in compliance . yr. Hamilton explained his intent was to establish some parameters . The Agreement established a black granite sign with aluminum letters with the option of moving those letters around any way that applicant desires . Gimelstob desires to rent space in this building and would like their logo on the sign , but they do not want aluminum lettering as already exists on the sign . Because Gimelstob did not prefer aluminum lettering , but preferred their own logo , there may be a possibility they will not rent space , but Mr. Hamilton wanted to develop the parameters of a larger sign anyways in preparation of a future tenant . His preference is to add two feet to the top of the sign, move BancBoston to the top position , leaving the present BancBoston place on the sign for that future tenant. Chairman Cook stated she saw no problem with raising the sign two feet, since the building and the trees are tall there. Mr. Coben stated he too had no problem with adding two feet to the sign, but that he would be concerned if additional colors were added to the sign. Mr. Hamilton stated his preference would be to have Gimelstob's sign with black letters to match the black granite with a green and orange logo only, on a polished aluminum background. Paul Coben moved to approve changing the height of the sign from 9' 4" to 11 ' 4" , moving the existing signage of BancBoston to the top, as well as approving the insertion of an additional tenant sign which will follow, to the degree that Mr. Hamilton is able to follow, the original intent of Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes March 28 , 1990 Page 3 the color scheme and with the understanding that the color of the letters will remain as they are , polished aluminum on black granite , or black letters on polished aluminum background to match the black granite sign. The colors of the tenant log: would be left to the discret:sn of Mr . Hamilton.
