Goldberg/Starr Sign Application:
A Sign Application was received from Goldberg/Star for a new proposed sign for Echo Manufacturing at their business on 2345 State Route 114, Map 6, Lot 103. The modified Site Plan was looked at and the decision was made that the Selectmen or the Building Inspector should not issue the sign.
A response should go to both the Selectmen and the Applicant.
Motion was made by Phil LaMoreaux advising a letter will be written to the Selectmen stating that the proposed sign for Echo Manufacturing is not clear they are in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and additional signs and additional business does need a Site Plan Review which will be forwarded to the applicant. Seconded by Don Jackson
Motion carried 6-0.
Outstanding Conditions:
Short discussion ensued regarding if any outstanding conditions have been received, which they have not at this time.
Existing Buildings needing attention from the Selectmen/Building Inspector:
There appears to be a significant building expansion going on at the Douglas Jackson property on Center Road, Map 6, Lot 96.
There is a residence on Map 8, Lot 29 on East Washington Road that had a Building Application turned down in 2007 because it would not meet set-backs. In 2010 this was re-submitted to conform to the set-backs and the 2007 dimensions were used to build the structure.
The Planning board as well as the Zoning Board of Adjustment are in need of Alternates.
Motion was made, seconded and carried to adjourn at 8:30pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Marjorie R. Cilley
Secretary
