PLANNING BOARD <br /> Town of Mashpce <br /> PLANNING BOARDMINUTES : JANUARY 189 1984 <br /> MEMBERS PRESENT: Earle Marsters, Harold Collins, Richardson. Jonas$ <br /> Michelle S tone, Richard Du bin <br /> TIME8 :00 P.I . <br /> AGENDA: PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SIGN CODS R VISI I S <br /> Earle Irs tern : The purpose of this public hearing being held by the <br /> Planning Board is to elicit comments from the public and other town <br /> agencies relative to the proposed zoning amendment and the final <br /> draft of the article inserted in the warrant may differ substantially <br /> from the pr pbsal;�which appeared in the advertisement and -if anyone <br /> is interested in what finally Will go before the town meeting should <br /> bheck with the office of the Selectmen, prior~ to town meeting to secure <br /> a copy of the article in the' form in which it will be recommended by the <br /> Planning Board. The hearing was scheduled for your input and the final <br /> article may vary according to what is put in the final article . o give <br /> little history of this -sign code, we have had a previous public hearing <br /> and at the previous public hearing, several changes were rade-. Unfortunate- <br /> ly when it was re-published this time, they went back to the original. <br /> So we already have some recommended changes which I will input as we <br /> go -along and perhaps you may see, fit to comment on these changes. I <br /> think the ' best way to go through it is to just run through it item by <br /> item. we will see if there are any comments and if not, we will go on <br /> o the next item. I would like to start out by reviewing the purpose <br /> of the by-law w and as you will notice at the very beginning of Article 10, <br /> "it is the intent of this by-law to protect, -conserve and improve the <br /> unique visual quality of the town ofMas-hpe by providing reasonable <br /> regulations and:Jcontr~ol of the erection and maintenance of signs and <br /> advertising devices without restricting the conduct of lawful enterprise-:' <br /> So let' s keep that in mind as we go through it rt gnat' s the whole pur- <br /> pose of it. <br /> DoOs anyone have any comment on 10,1? n comment Incidentally, if <br /> anyone has any comments they want to make in general before we even <br /> get started go ahead <br /> Now we get to 10.2. 1 - at the previous hearing we had an insertion <br /> in here and I ' ll read it and stop when I came to the insertion. It' s <br /> under owner' s consent. "Before any permi t is issued for the erection <br /> f a sign, plans and specifications shall be filed with the building <br /> inspector showing the dimensions , materials, and required details o <br /> construction including loads, stresses and anchorage" - and we inserted <br /> in there, "where required" as the building inspector won' t require this <br /> information in all cases. This was the only change recommended at the <br /> previous hearing. <br /> ( continued on page 2 <br />
