Presentations/Review:
Sidewalk lighting improvements at Cary Hall & Town Office Building. – Lexington Public Facilities
The DAC reviewed the proposed lighting options and had the following comments.
1.Lexington Public Facilities presented the options for the light poles and fixtures. The two options
are either a stock or custom fixture.
2.The DAC reviewed the options and commented that the custom option appears to be the best
alternative was not convinced that the fixture would be ultimately be compatible with the Cary
Hall fixture for the cost.
3.The DAC commented that the Cary Hall fixture is unique and therefore the selected fixture should
be complimentary but does not need to be copied.
4.The DAC commented that this location is somewhat detached from the Center and therefore does
not have to match or be one of the fixtures already used in and around the Center.
5.The DAC suggested that further study and exploration for another stock fixture was the best
course of action and the applicant return with additional alternatives next month.
45 Hartwell Ave. Duffy Properties – Sign Permit Application
The DAC reviewed the proposed sign application and had the following comments.
1.The sign is too tall, 96”, and suggested the sign be lowered to at least five feet.
2.The DAC suggested turning the sign on its side and changing the sign layout and configuration to
conform to the height suggested.
3.The DAC suggested the applicant look into using an external lighting source or using raised text
with halo LED lighting instead of that proposed.
The Design Advisory Committee recommended the applicant return for further review and could not
recommend approval of this project as presented.
