MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MINUTES NNE 27, 2012 • both walls is 2,600 square feet. This falls below the By-law maximum which allows signs up to 10% of the aggregate square footage of a front wall area. Mr. Reiffarth said that his opinion is that the proposed signs are too large and the Board will be setting a precedent for other business owners to do the same thing. He said that two 57.92 square foot signs along with the blade signs seems excessive. Mr. Morgan agreed that Mr. Reiffarth raises a good point and that other Mashpee Commons' tenants on either side of this store will be seeking permits for their signage. Mr. Blaisdell said that the Board should consider each Petition on an individual basis. Mr. Bonvie said that the signs would fit in well with the rest of Mashpee Commons. Mr. Braga said that the Panera store is quite large compared to other stores, with over 5,000 square feet of space inside. Mr. Braga said that the other tenants occupying smaller spaces will have smaller business signs. He explained that the Panera Bread signs are actually letters attached to the building within the green field shown on the plan. Mr. Pretorius said that the green field shown on the plan is the green siding of the building and not a side panel.. With that clarification, Mr. Reiffarth said that he would not consider the signs too large. On March 20, 2012, the Design Review Committee approved the proposal.
