Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />Mr. Morris stated the Board had received a letter of resignation from Member Kolb. He went on to <br />state that even though he did not want to accept the letter – he had to do it – letter of resignation <br />accepted. It was then stated that Ms. Kristina Costa would become a full time Board member. <br /> <br />MID HUDSON SUBARU, ROUTE 9 <br />Since the last meeting – there were some changes proposed for Mid Hudson Subaru. The Board had all <br />had the opportunity to look at them – they were just some facade changes – Mr. McCormick made a <br />motion to approve the change to the facade of the building (excluding the three signs), seconded by Mr. <br />Moran. Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />WHEEL AND HEEL, 2658 EAST MAIN STREET <br />Next on the agenda was the proposal for Wheel and Heel for signs. Mr. Morris stated that the Planning <br />Board allows directional signs as shown on the windows (not an exit, entrance – they are directional <br />signs) – they are information – not business related. Mr. Morris stated the applicant has proposed three <br />signs – and only two signs are allowed. The monument sign was assigned the #1 on the permit – <br />Applicant presented a plot plan to the Board of where on the property the sign would be placed. The <br />sign will be yellow with black letters. It was stated that the sign could only be 4 ft. high (proposed is 5 <br />ft.) and is not illuminated. Mr. Morris recommended that the applicants put some type of plants <br />underneath the sign with a base that blends with the architecture of the building. The sign (both sides) <br />is 24 sq. ft. and he is allowed 27.5 sq. ft. of sign. Mr. Moran made a motion to approve the monument <br />sign (or sign #1) contingent upon: (1) color sample being supplied, (2) maximum height of sign to be 4 <br />ft. and (3) some type of base with plantings underneath it that ties it back to the building – must be year <br />round. Motion was seconded by Mr. McCormick. Unanimously carried. <br /> <br />Sign #2 was the word bicycle in the windows. It was determined that the word bicycle was too large – <br />his two choices would be to either shrink the words bicycles or to make the monument sign smaller – <br /> <br />
