Dr. Brett Davidson, the owner of the dental office at 27 Muzzey Street, stated that they are requesting a new sign to replace the old sign. The Chairwoman, Ms. Jeanne K. Krieger, stated that the last time the applicants were here, the Board asked them to go back and ask the other tenant if they could combine their signs into one. Dr. Davidson asked the Board what their rational is for wanting 1 sign instead of 2. A Board Member, Mr. David G. Williams, stated that in a residential neighborhood they would rather have one (1) sign. The applicants asked the Board if there has ever been an issue in the past with the two (2) signs. Ms. Sandy Kursen of the Rangley Co., stated that there are already two (2) signs. They are asking the Board for permission to flip the old sign to face the road and make a better looking sign. There are similar signs existing on the same street.
