The goal is to install a permanent structure for town and Cary Hall related events. The DAC had <br />previously recommended that banners be installed on the light poles instead of a new structure. This turns <br />out to be impractical and costly. Two alternatives were presented to the DAC. <br />The DAC preferred Sign A – Option 2 with masonry columns instead of the more ornate, lighter looking <br />metal option. The DAC did have a few recommendations on modifying the design as presented. <br /> a. Remove the roof, the DAC was not unanimous on this recommendation <br /> b. Beef up the wall between the brick piers <br /> c. Scale down the size of the piers, height and width <br /> d. Add up-lighting to base of announcement board frame <br /> e. Modify pier cap profile and peak <br /> f. Match material for pier base to materials used on Cary Hall, granite preferred <br /> g. Paving to be brick around the sign. <br />If any further changes are made to the project scope or design as presented at any time prior to final <br />installation the DAC asks that the applicant notify the DAC for review and approval prior to <br />implementation. <br />Other Business <br />: None <br />Respectfully submitted <br /> Timothy Lee <br />Cc: <br /> Board of Selectmen <br />
