Unanimously carried. BOSTWICK SALES, 789 OLD ROUTE 9 First on the agenda was the application of Bostwick Sales, 789 Old Route 9 for their building and road signs. There were three signs. One for the building sign for Bostwick Sales, one for the building sign for Creative Kitchens and the road sign. The building signs would be black letters on the stucco building – they would be lit by recessed lighting underneath the awning. Mr. Alfonso stated he felt the road sign was too high and would not conform with the new sign ordinances. (It was stated that the new sign ordinances would be approved within the next month and Mr. Morris wanted applicant to be aware of this) It was also stated that the sign should be a minimum of 12 ft. from the road so any vehicle entering the property has a clear view and the new ordinances call for no internally illuminated signs. Mr. Moran made a motion to approve the building signs, seconded by Mr. Alfonso. Unanimously carried. Next the road sign was discussed. Ms. Firstenberg stated the Greenway Guides suggest that no sign should have any more than three tenants listed on it and Mr. Bostwick has the potential for five tenants. The Greenway Guides also recommends monument sign and externally illuminated signs for the Route 9 corridor. Mr. Alfonso made a motion to deny the road sign as presented, seconded by Mr. McCormick. On roll call vote – Mr. Alfonso – Aye, Mr. McCormick – Aye, Mr. Morris – Aye, Ms. Firstenberg – Aye and Mr. Moran – Nay. After more discussion about the road sign Mr. Alfonso made a motion to approve the road sign contingent upon: (1) maximum height of 12 ft., (2) limit to 4 slats on the sign, (3) wattage not to be brighter than Ciccio's at 2710 West Main Street (Mr. Brutting to verify this).
