MINUTES <br />Planning Commission <br />March 3, 1983 <br />Sign <br />Ordinance <br />Planner's <br />Reports <br />t <br />Mr. Licht stated that he agreed with this. Mr. Licht pointed out that <br />a building is allowed so much signage based on the percentage of their <br />silouette, but the building with windows can panel the windows with <br />signs. In essence, discrimination exists. <br />Mr. Licht stated that the Little Canada Mall does not like the fact <br />that the requirements on Rice Street are different from other streets. <br />Licht stated that one of the factors taken into consideration is the <br />speed limit. <br />Mr. Licht stated that window signs are a further distraction. Mr. <br />Licht stated that a window sign should be addressed to the pedestrian, <br />not the driver. <br />Mrs. Timmons asked if Mr. Licht approved of a higher pylon at the <br />Little Canada Mall. Mr. Licht stated that he did not know wi ,at the. <br />Mall businesses will be coming in with. <br />Mr. DeLonais stated that he did not think any of the signs on Rice <br />Street could he seen. <br />Mrs. Timmons stated that if the Little Canada Mall is allowed a <br />larger pylon, all of the business off Rice Street should he allowed <br />the same. <br />Mr. Licht stated that it gets into the advertising aspect. A business <br />location sign is one form of advertising, but should be used simultaneously <br />with newspaper advertising or some other form of media. Signs should <br />not he present to distract the driver. <br />Mrs. Timmons stated that if a temporary sign is at a location every <br />day people tend not to notice. <br />Mr. Licht stated that he would work something out for the next Planning <br />Commission meeting on temporary signs. <br />Mr. Licht commented that on the Caplette and Smith matter Mr. Caplette <br />is still in control of the property and Mrs. Corbo can only make <br />recommendations to her father. Mr. Licht stated that he is meeting <br />with Mr. Smith to update him on the situation. <br />Mr. Licht reported that the information on Little Canada sewers is <br />something that is required by State law that the City goes into a <br />storm sewer drainage plan. <br />Page —11— <br />
