MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD <br />I <br />July 16, 1946 <br />Present: Messrs. Worthen, Richards, Houdlette, Cromwell <br />Voted To authorize the purchase of two reams of tissue paper to be <br />used by the Planning Board. <br />Cutler Farm <br />It was noted that Mr. Ferguson had attended the hearing, on the <br />Cutler Farm property, which was adjourned for two weeks. <br />Suns <br />The Board had been asked to express its thoughts on how to <br />clarify or change Article 19 of the building code in respect to <br />advertising signs on business properties. <br />After considerable discussion it was concluded that it would <br />be best to let the article stand as at present. <br />The Board believes that signs attached to buildings should lie <br />flat with the fact of the buildings and project not more than six <br />inches irrespective of whether the building is back from the street <br />' line. <br />The Board realizes that an even more serious problem exists <br />concerning advertising signs that are not attached to buildings but <br />for the present is undebided as to what attitude to take because of <br />the difficulty in differentiating between signs that are objection- <br />able, in this category, and others that are not. <br />It was decided to write to the Selectmen in the above vein. <br />Home Trailers <br />The Selectmen have asked the Planning Board to express an <br />opinion upon methods of regulating or controlling the use of trailers <br />for living quarters on land awned or leased by the occupants of the <br />trailers. (This is distinct from the problem of regulating so-called <br />trailer camps.) <br />The Planning Board after considerable discussion concluded <br />that there must be regulatory powers under the rules for health <br />and sanitation that would permit effective control. However, it <br />decided to investigate the matter further, by communicating with the <br />State Planning Board and otherwise before replying to the Selectmen. <br />Parking Lot Problem <br />' The Board considered the parking lot problem but arrived at <br />no conclusion. <br />Fe7 <br />tfullysu <br />
