Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />W. F. ESTUARY, 33 MCKINLEY STREET <br />First on the agenda was the proposal from W. F. Estuary to redefine lot line between 33 <br />McKinly Street warehouse and new empty lot. This proposal was discussed last month <br />but because of the scheduling of the meetings the 30 days for Lead Agency had not <br />expired. It has now expired and no one has challenged the Planning Board being Lead <br />Agency – therefore the Planning Board will become Lead Agency by default. Mr. Morris <br />stated this is simply a lot line adjustment – there is no impact to the neighbors, there are <br />no development plans and there will be no physical alterations- with all of the above in <br />mind Mr. McCormick made a motion to declare a negative declaration for this proposal, <br />seconded by Mr. Moran. On roll call vote – Mr. Morris- Aye, Mr. McCormick – aye, <br />Mr. Moran – Aye, Mr. Chase – Aye and Ms. Firstenberg – Aye. At this point Mr. <br />McCormick made a motion to approve the lot line adjustment, seconded by Mr. Moran. <br />Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />FAUXEVER WALLS D/B/A FW INTERIORS, 2781 WEST MAIN STREET <br />Nest on the agenda was the proposal from Fauxever Walls to be able to use 2781 West <br />Main Street for a decorator’s studio and/or office and for a proposed sign. Mr. Sasser <br />presented his floor plan and stated that the studio would not be open to the public – it <br />would be by appointment only. There would only be one employee - possibly two if a <br />client wanted to do a one on one to discuss their basic needs for decorating. There <br />would be no structural changes to the building and they would be utilizing the entire <br />downstairs. It was stated that this is an approved use for the district. Mr. McCormick <br />made a motion to approve the use, seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />Next the sign was discussed. It was stated that the awning was pre-existing but it was <br />black and orange – Mr. Sasser changed the awning to black and white stripe. There <br />would be one sign on each awning with the name of the business on it – one facing North <br />Street and one on the West Main Street side. After reviewing the permit for <br />conformance – it was stated that the signs conformed to the code. Mr. Sasser stated that <br />he may put the phone number on the door. Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve <br />the signs as presented, seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. Mr. Morris <br /> <br />
