PlanningBoard | 2006-02-27 | 3 | 7. CONSENT CALENDAR: 7-A. PDA05-0007/MDR05-0350 - Park Street Landing - 2307 Blanding Avenue (EP). Applicant requests a Planned Development Amendment and Minor Design Review to modify the existing sign program to allow for a change in the location of existing building signage, including installation and establishment of three additional signs on an existing monument sign. The site is located within the Park Street Landing Shopping Center in the C-M-PD, Commercial Manufacturing, Planned Development Zoning District. (Continued from the meeting of February 13, 2006.) M/S Cook/McNamara and unanimous to remove Item 7-A from the Consent Calendar and place it on the Regular Agenda. AYES - 5 (Mariani absent); NOES - 0; ABSTAIN - 0 Ms. Pudell summarized the staff report, and recommended approval of this item. The public hearing was opened. There were no speakers. The public hearing was closed for Board discussion. Vice President Cook noted that she had requested that this item be removed, and was concerned about adding further signs on the pylon sign for this project. She believed that the pylon sign was not an attractive gateway sign, and had always found it to be unattractive. She also objected to the Cigarettes Cheaper sign at that location. Ms. McNamara concurred with Vice President Cook's comments and noted that the clock did not work. She believed that contributed to the sign being an eyesore, and inquired whether it could be fixed and maintained. Ms. Pudell noted that the conditions of approval state that the clock shall be repaired and maintained in operable condition; that would be enforceable through the resolution. She noted that the Cigarettes Cheaper sign was not approved by staff, and that it could be brought to the applicant's attention to be removed. The allotment of the three signs on the pylon would only be allowable to tenants who lease more than 4800 square feet of floor area. President Cunningham echoed the concerns about the main pylon at the City's entrance, and would like to limit the amount of signage at that location without penalizing the retail units. Mr. Foley, applicant, agreed with the Board's concerns about the Alameda gateway. He noted that he would be happy to update the sign, and agreed it was dated; he would also repair and maintain the clock. He did not like the sandwich board signs. He noted that Kragen would not go in the center Planning Board Minutes Page 3 February 27, 2006 | PlanningBoard/2006-02-27.pdf |
