Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on August 9, and August 16, 1991, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part heAof. A Public Hearing was held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, August 28, 1991 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: William J. Hanrahan, Michael A. Makunas and Edward M. Govoni. Wayne Tavares represented the applicant and reviewed sign plans which had been approved by the Design Review Committee. He explained that the heavy traffic conditions on Route 28 made it difficult to identify the industrial park unless signing were permitted on each side of the entrance. Signs on either side of the entrance will be mounted on fencing and a street identification side will be used in the center section. No comments were received from abutters. The Board found that the granting of the Variance would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the by-laws and would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood. The Board determined that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the by-law would result in hardship and congested traffic.
