Commission approves multiple storefront signs for Finzel building with size conditions
Summary
The commission approved supplemental directional and business signs for businesses at a multi-tenant building on Water Street, noting that some signs had been approved previously and that text height must not exceed regulation limits.
The New Shoreham Historic District Commission approved a set of supplemental signs for multiple businesses at the Finzel building on Water Street (Plat 6, Lot 157, Fire Number 212). Commissioners said several of the signs—identified in the application as the Pasta Patch, Bunkhouse, the 1 B I, and a clam cake vendor—had already been approved; the current package included smaller directional and "order here/pick up here" signs.
Staff noted that text height on signs must not exceed 12 inches, and one commissioner confirmed the applicant had provided sign sizes. A commissioner moved to approve the listed supplemental signs; another commissioner seconded. The motion passed with commissioners saying “aye.”
During discussion staff reiterated the commission's longstanding practice that any sign application for a building must list all existing signs on that building; missing entries slow administrative review and should be corrected by applicants. The commission closed the item after approving the supplemental signs.
