Date: June 1, 2006 Certificate No. 2006C -30 HISTO C DISTRICTS COMMISS 0 by: M. Welch, Chairman Lexington Chamber of Commerce, In June 1, 2006 Mr. Joseph Welch, Chairman Historic Districts Commission Town of Lexington 1625 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington, MA 02420 RE: New Tourism Signage for the Lexington Visitors Center Dear Mr. Welch: The Lexington Chamber of Commerce is pleased to support and participate in the efforts of the Lexington Tourism Committee regarding a comprehensive signage program that will enhance and improve the tourist's experience in our town. Over the past couple of years, our organization has been a part of the process as the design and content for these new tourism signs has evolved. Of particular interest to us is the new place- naming sign under consideration for the Lexington Visitors Center, which our organization operates seven days a week, 362 days a year. This facility is the central greeting and information point for more than 100,000 visitors to Lexington each year. The proposed new sign is both handsome and consistent with the other signs being developed by the Tourism Committee. It will add a recognizable style and appearance to the signage that guests seek out as they experience the heritage tourism of Lexington. One concern that will need to be addressed, however, is that the Hours of Operation which appear on the existing sign be somehow accommodated on some another separate new sign that might be affixed either to the Visitors Center door or the Visitors Center building itself. This key information is essential so that guests clearly know when the facility is open. It is my understanding that the Tourism Committee will work with the Chamber to bring forward for HDC consideration an appropriate solution to the Hours of Operation signage at some in the near future. The Chamber is hopeful that your board will recognize the merits of the Tourism Committee's proposal for comprehensive tourism signage and give full consideration to their current application. Respectfully, we ask for the HDC to support this signage permit request. incerely, Mary Jo Executive Director Visitors Center 1875 Massachusetts Avenue • Lexington, MA 02420 • 781.862.2480 • Fax: 781.862.5995 Joseph Welch, Chairman Ian Adamson Mark DiNapoli Lynn Hopkins Alfonso Welch Town of Lexington Historic Districts Commission Tel: (781) 862 - 0500 x294 Fax: (781-861-2780 Lexington Historic District' Commission Application for Certificate of Appropriateness An application is hereby made for issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness for: Addition Alteration Construction Demolition Painting Re -roofing Re- siding Signage Other (see Scope) ✓ Location: All c/-;c1 Description of proposed work: da t aJ eta 64/c, - 66/-echolal h4rye 2 j Owner: /own Oil I burl SQQin,► nnn'1l Owner's Address: 4 /(p2 ��"�-f-{5 Att.
