MINUTES OF PLANNIN BOARD -2- 10/2/08 answered no there were not – just changing the faces – Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the proposed sign changes contingent upon applicant supplying the Board with a color sample, Mr. Moran seconded the motion. Unanimously carried. Dr. D. Patel who was on the agenda for a proposed use and sign for the former Carpetworld in Dutchess Shopping Plaza did not show up for the meeting. LENDELL SIMMONS FOR 28 MARKET STREET Next on the agenda was a proposal from Lendell Simmons to be able to use 28 Market Street – Suite 4 – for a recording studio, skate shop and couture. Mr. Simmons stated he was opening up a second place. (He also has a store in the Dutchess Shopping Plaza). He would be operating from the first store on the left. He stated he would be operating a recording studio – he would have a sound booth that is totally enclosed and would be soundproofing some of the walls – and he would also be tinting the windows. Mrs. Firstenberg asked Mr. Simmons how dark would the tinting be on the front windows and Mr. Simmons answered – not dark – Mrs. Firstenberg asked why he was tinting the windows and he answered because most studios do. Mr. Morris asked if you could still see in the windows and Mr. Simmons answered yes you could. He stated he would be selling skateboards and skateboarding equipment also. Mr. Morris asked what the hours of the recording studio would be and Mr. Simmons answered from Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. Mr. Fenton asked Mr. Simmons if he would be doing any structural changes to the site and he answered no he would not – he is just bringing in furniture and the sound booth is portable. Mr. Simmons also stated he would be installing shades instead of the tint in the windows. Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the use as described above, seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. Mr. Simmons was reminded to fill out the necessary paperwork with the Code Enforcement Officer for his Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Novick owner of the building stated Mr. Simmons is going to keep his sign in conformance with Mr. Novick’s signs and Mr. Morris informed Mr. Simmons he would have to come back to the Board next month with the necessary paperwork. Mr. Simmons was instructed to talk with the Code Enforcement Officer regarding his temporary sign. MICHAEL NOVICK, 28 MARKET STREET Next on the agenda was the proposal from Michael Novick to expand Chubby’s Deli into the adjacent store to the right of the deli with an additional sign. Mr. Novick presented the Board with a sketch of the floor plan. He would be removing a non structural wall that is dividing the two storefronts. The door to the space would be kept shut – maybe occasionally opening it on nice days. At this point Mr. Novick drew in the door that is already existing, signed the sketch and it would be kept in the files in the Planning/Zoning offices. Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the expansion of Chubby’s Deli as proposed, seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried.
