Motion by Mr. Moran, seconded by Mr. Alfonso to approve the minutes of the June meeting (as amended) unanimously carried. CARPETWORLD, DUTCHESS SHOPPING PLAZA First on the agenda was a proposal for a sign and use of storefront in the Dutchess Shopping Plaza. Applicant stated he wanted to use the site for a flooring store. He currently has two stores in Westchester County. Carpet is his main business but he also does vinyl, hardwood and laminate flooring. Mr. Morris asked applicant if he would be keeping any trncks on site and he answered - none at all - he is strictly a showroom (other than a few cash and carry items that may come in) - their warehouse is in Beacon. He stated he would be taking over the Southern portion of the former Woodworker's Warehouse. It was stated that the Landlord would be installing the partition in the storefront and also the bathroom. Mr. Morris stated the use is retail going back to retail - therefore there would be no change in the parking calculation. Mr. Alfonso made a motion to approve the use of Carpet World in the southern portion of the former Woodworker's Warehouse with the hours noted on the application, seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. Next the signs tbr Carpet World was discussed. Mr. Morris explained to the applicant the way the signs were calculated. The proposal the applicant is proposing was too large and did not conform to code. Mr. Monis stated his concern is the proposed sign seems too large in comparison to the existing signs in the plaza. Applicant stated he would be changing the front sign to be 2' x 18' and the rear sign to be 2' x 10' - and this way he would be conforming to code. The Board also asked applicant to supply the Zoning Office with exact color chips. Mx. Alfonso made a motion to approve the two signs for Carpet World contingent upon applicant supplying exact color chips, signs not exceeding the roof line and also changing application so that the two signs conform in square footage to the code. Motion seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. Applicant was reminded that no sign could be above the roof line.
