Georgetown Board of Adjustments approves variance to reinstall town-branded message board at Shore Auto Sales
Summary
The Board of Adjustments granted Shore Auto Sales a variance to place a custom "Welcome to Georgetown" message board on its property, citing no public opposition and the sign's community-use history; the applicant said the board will serve both business and local nonprofit notices.
The Georgetown Board of Adjustments voted to grant a variance allowing Shore Auto Sales (owned by Preston Automotive Group/DHW Holdings) to reinstall a custom "Welcome to Georgetown" message board on its property.
At a public hearing, Chris Schaffner, representing DHW Holdings and Preston Automotive Group, said the request "is because of the sign, not because wanting another sign." He told the board the message board was custom-built for Georgetown, was removed after the state acquired a previous site by eminent domain, and the owners want to keep the town-branded sign in Georgetown rather than discard it.
