Mr. Williams stated he would like a motion for a condition that the banner be removed (The sign can be taken down if it is illegal). Chair, Ralph D. Clifford, stated he is concerned by the lighting. There are residential buildings in the area and light spill over can be difficult. The lighting needs to be more definitively defined. The posting indicates the sign will be 6 feet from the sidewalk but then it says the sign will be about 6 feet tall. The Board would need to know how tall the sign would be. That way the staff will know it is being done in compliance with the Special Permit. He then asked the applicant if it is going to be a 6 foot height (They were estimating what the height would be. The grade is a one foot drop from top end of the sign to bottom end of sign. It would be between 5 feet and 6 feet). Mr. Clifford stated the sign is fine overall. The building inspector needs to know where that sign is going and it is not precise. The lighting has the same issue. He then suggested a continuance until they have everything figured out. Mr. Williams stated they should look into granite posts if they are continuing. Mr. Martin asked for a continuation to June 11, 2020 Hearing. He stated the lighting and height will be addressed and they will look into granite posts. The Board of appeals voted five (5) in favor, zero (0) opposed, and zero (0) in abstention to grant a continuance to June 11, 2020 Hearing (a role call was taken: Ralph D. Clifford —Yes, Jeanne K. Krieger—Yes, David G. Williams—Yes, Norman P. Cohen —Yes, and Nyles N. Barnert—Yes).
