11-3-58 -4- November 4, 1958 ' Board of Appeals Town Office Building Lexington 73, Mass. Re: Petition of Connelly _& Livingstone Permission to erect post and sign Gentlemen: The Planning Board at its regular meeting on October 27, 1958 discussed the petition referred to above, decided to go on record as being opposed to the granting of said petition, and to write a letter to the Board of Appeals setting forth reasons for such opposition. In the Planning Board's opinion the exact location of the proposed post and sign in relation to the highway is not clear. It appears to the Board that the post and sign may overhang the right-of-way where it is understood a sidewalk is to be constructed. In this location the sign would interfere with pedestrians using the sidewalk and also partially obstruct the view of motorists approach- ing the Spring Street-Marrett Road intersection from a westerly direction. It appears also that the sign would partially obstruct a view of easterly bound Marrett Road traffic as it should be seen by motorists entering the intersection from Spring Street. It is the Planning Board's opinion that the existing letters painted on the building and the doctor's lamp post sign attached to the fence are of fine quality and are particularly fitting for a local business district. It appears that the signs give adequate public notice of the firm and professional office occupying the building numbered 428 Marrett Road and that no additional adver- tising is necessary. Sincerely yours, LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD (s) Thomas S. Grindle, Chairman November 3, 1958 Board of Appeals Town Office Building Lexincton 73 Mass.
