Presentations/Review:
Max Steins Freestanding Sign (94 Hartwell Avenue)
The Committee finds the sign to be sited well, respectful of the
vehicular turning. The overall size of the sign, 8Ó-0Ñ long x 3
smaller scaled down version is strongly recommended (in the orde
6Ñ wide x 5Ó-6Ñ high). There are very few signs along this stre
should not lessen its visibility.
The sign is proposed to be internally illuminated, which is not consistent with Zoning By-Law Section 135-
75.A. The sign should be externally illuminated, consider groun
the sign illumination. Light Fixture cut sheets should be submitted to the DAC for review and approval.
The variety of stone sizes shown on the detail drawings are nice
the colored rendering. The grout should be held back 1Ñ-2Ñ from the face of the stone, to create a shadow
line. If the stone material permits, lower the footing 6Ñ below
The Design Advisory Committee recommends this project be approved with the above-mentioned
comments.
