Hearincs Scheduled for February 8. 1990 Mrs. Uhrig gave an oral review of the following applications 1040 Waltham Street, Children's Hospital, SP, for a free-standing sign to identify the location of the Children's Hospital Specialty Care Center, in addition to an existing free-standing sign ( in front of #1050 Waltham Street) which identifies both buildings. Mrs. Uhrig reported there is confusion as to where the Specialty Care Center is located. The applicant wishes to clearly identify his location at #1040 Waltham Street. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Kluminzer, it was voted 5-0 to recommend the special permit be granted with the condition that this will be the only sign permitted for the building at #1040 Waltham Street. 40 Hartwell Avenue, M.I .T. Lincoln Lab. , to renew SP for the minimum time necessary to evacuate and remove a temporary structure. The Board noted that the applicant has already received a three-month renewal of the one-year special permit allowing the temporary structure, which expired 11/10/89. In its decision, granting the three-month special permit renewal, the Board of Appeals stated "continuous renewal of a one-year special permit for a temporary structure does not fit the definition of a temporary structure and is not consistent with the general purpose of the Zoning By-Law." They granted the three-month extension to allow the applicant to prepare an orderly plan for removal of the temporary structure in less than one year.
