LDAC EXINGTON ESIGN DVISORY OMMITTEE January 5, 2010 To: Board of Appeals Staff Re: 324 Marret Road, Gulf/Cumberland Farms Gas Station, Lexington, MA Modifications to existing signs At its regular meeting on December 2, 2009 the DAC reviewed the submittals to modify the existing signs at the address noted above and offered the following comments and recommendations.  Committee prefers existing canopy colors and sign to that proposed but noted that the canopy appears to need repair  No internally illuminated signs on canopy  No clouds on canopy, looks like to busy and too much like a billboard  Committee prefers existing exterior canopy lighting and would like to see only the name illuminated with the existing down light, entire canopy does not need to be lit.  Committee would like to see the proposed color scheme on the canopy and building simplified fewer colors if possible. Eliminate one of the white bands.  Dispenser valance generally ok, simplify colors  No additional Gulf signage on body of the dispensers, single color scheme is ok  Would like to see metal frame of freestanding sign repainted a darker color The Design Advisory Committee can not recommend approval of this application and recommends the applicant return to the DAC for further review once changes have been mad to the current application. Respectfully submitted, Timothy D. Lee, ASLA, Chairman Lexington Design Advisory Committee Cc: Board of Selectmen
