Summary

The commission approved a proposal for a solid‑wood storefront sign at 45 Main Street, adopting the sign advisory committee's recommendation to prohibit MDO/plywood material.

The Nantucket Historic District Commission voted to approve a sign for 45 Main Street on the recommendation of the Sign Advisory Committee, contingent on the sign being made of solid wood rather than MDO or plywood.

Applicant Kelly Emery participated by Zoom and told the commission she was comfortable following the committee’s material recommendation. Christopher (representing the sign advisory committee) confirmed the committee had no issue with the proposed design provided the sign uses solid wood. The commission’s motion to approve with the wood‑only condition passed without recorded opposition.

The commission and staff noted the sign committee’s routine review process and encouraged clearer agenda packets and timeline guidance for applicants so public hearings run more smoothly. The granted approval allows the applicant to proceed with a solid‑wood sign as described in the sign committee recommendation.

Vote: Approval without recorded opposition.
