LEXINGTON DESIGN ADVISORY COMMITTEE January 9, 2008 To: Board of Appeals Re: 130 Pleasant Street- Lexington Montessori School Freestanding Sign At its regular meeting on December 4, 2007, the DAC reviewed a submittal for a new freestanding sign at 130 Pleasant Street for the Lexington Montessori School. The location of the sign on the site was found to be acceptable and while there was much discussion centered around the shape and orientation of the sign, it was found to be acceptable. The applicant is encouraged to reduce the amount of content on the sign, perhaps eliminate "Toddler~Middle School" and increase the size of the address text for clearer identification. Signs should be clear and concise; too much information on a sign panel can be confusing to individuals reading the sign while they're driving. By removing this content, the sign can be reduced in height 4"-6". If the sign is to be illuminated, specifications shall be submitted for review & approval. The Design Advisory Committee recommends this project be approved with the above-mentioned comments. Respectfully submitted, Colin P. Smith AIA, Chairman Lexington Design Advisory Committee Cc: Board of Selectmen
