HIGHLAND FARM ' John and Anthony Modoono, April 7 , 1964 Nickerson: You have submitted a drawing, also a picture of this sign which you want to install. Modoono: I changed my mind on the sign and want to make it smaller. Nickerson: This indicates the building would be 40 x 20 ft. and 50 ft. back from the street and 45 ft. from residential line. It is being built of concrete blocks with three overhead doors in front and one onthe side, also display racks to hold plants. You have indicated a driveway coming in from Woburn St. going around the back and out onto Woburn St., and also a driveway across the front of the yard. There would be parking facili- ties for 35 or more cars, to be no closer than 10 ft. to the rear of property on Webb St. (Mr. Modoono presented this several weeks ago and we have had a chance to go and look over the area.) If you were granted permission to proceed with this operation what would be your timing? Would you proceed reasonably soon? Modoono: We would like to if it is possible. Nickerson: Our procedure for granting permissions for things of this ' sort is to make a condition that if this petition is granted the construction of this facility shall start within one year or it is null and void. I thought I would tell you about this. What is your solution forgetting people off Woburn St. onto your driveway? There is rather bad visibility from Woburn St. There is a high fence. Modoono: That is the reason why I chose this side to come in. You can see the traffic much better when you are coming out. Nickerson: What is your intention for topping these driveways. You have a lot of footage of driveway. Modoono: This would be all blacktop - walks would be stone or gravel. Nickerson: (from letter) Hours would be 9-6 April, May, June] July and and August 8-8; September, October, 8-9; November,.Dkcekber, 9-6.- Would like to be open every day. If we musthavea clos- ing day it would-be Monday. Would like fluorescent outside lighting, 300-W. floodlights at�each corner affixed -to the ground. Would like to put sign on top of building. Nickerson: The law or regulations say no sign shall project..above the roof line of the building. The doors don't go up to the roof, you would have room to put it over the door. If you made it as reasonable you would be very wise. Some of the nicest stands don't have a great big sign 25 ft. long. I would think that if you complicate this by asking for this sign this Board would
