The Commissioners expressed <br /> concerns over the following items: <br /> 1. The halo lighting of the channel letters on the south elevation reading "Dunkin". They felt that <br /> the halo lighting was incompatible with the Historic District and likely non-compliant with the <br /> requirements of Mashpee's Zoning Bylaw. <br /> 2. The Commissioners felt the proposed installation of externally illuminated vinyl lettering on the <br /> east elevation to read "Mashpee (runs logo) Dunkin"was incompatible with the Historic District. <br /> They felt that the addition of this proposed signage had the potential to create visual clutter and <br /> would not be harmonious with the surrounding area. <br /> 3. The Commissioners felt the proposed installation of the drive-thru clearance bar had the <br /> potential to create visual clutter and would not be harmonious with the surrounding area. <br /> 1 <br />
