Mr. Prager: Are the mailings in order?
Mrs. Dao: Yes they are.
Mr. Casella: Motion to open the public hearing.
Mr. VanTine: Second the motion.
Vote: All present voted aye.
Mr. Prager: Please explain everything again why you need a sign on Route 9.
Mr. VanTine wasn't here at the last meeting and there might be
someone in the audience that would like to find out some
information about it.
Mr. Lund: We're installing a new covert pipe along the right-of--way on Route
9. The main reason we are asking for the variance is if we put the
sign between the pipe and the easement, that we are giving the
DOT, it would push the sign if we tried to stay within the setback
into our curb road area. It doesn't even fit. We can't fit it at the
entrance. Considering the fact there is such a great setback and the
shoulder that's on Route 9, it actually becomes very impractical.
By setting the sign back an additional twenty five feet, taking the
setback to thirty feet for DOT.
Mr. Prager: We had a site inspection and did see where the proposed sign
would be. It was nice that you put a pole on the ground so we can
see where the sign is proposed to go. I can see why you need it
where you do. I understand where the sign would be is quite a
distance from the road.
Mr. Lund: The sign south of this property is in line with the proposed sign.

Mr. Prager: We noticed that also. There are other signs in that area. Other
properties on route 9 have their signs about the same distance from
the road.
Mrs. Roberti: Executive Park has a sign in the same.
Mr. Prager: Yes it does.
Mr. DellaCorte: Is the pole you put in the ground, the front of the sign close r to the
road?
Mr. Lund: Yes it is closest to the road. It's pretty close to where the sign is
proposed to be placed due to the snow.
Mr. Prager: Is there anyone in the audience how would like to make any
comments for or against this variance? Let the record show, no
one has any comments.
Mr. Lund: Thank you.
Mr. Casella: Motion to close the public hearing.
Mr. VanTine: Second the motion.
Vote: All present voted aye.
Mr. Casella: Motion to grant the variance. This will not produce an
undesirable change to the neighborhood. It's not unique
because other signs to the south of the property similar to how
far the sign comes out. It is not an adverse impact to the
physical environment, or issues with the neighborhoods. I
don't see any other feasible methods. I make a motion to grant
this variance.
Mr. VanTine: Second the motion
ZBA Roll Call: Mr. VanTine: Aye.

Mr. Casella: Aye.
