1. Beverly House of Pizza - Alan Young/24 Cabot Street/Sign
Mr. Alan Young of Wm. Blanchard Co., Inc., approaches the Board with an awning
design for the rear of 24 Cabot Street. These awnings are to be placed over two doorways
that will face Cox Court. The awnings will be yellow with red lettering. He also states
that the temporary sign on the rear of the building will be eliminated.
Mr. Haring states that the yellow is too vibrant and suggests reversing the colors to match
one of the signs on the front of the building. He recommends a #529 bright red
background with #504 yellow lettering.
Mr. Young states that his client is open to suggestions and may be willing to reverse the
color scheme.
Mr. Haring also suggests putting a recommendation in the approval letter that they
replace the existing wall sign with an awning in the front of the building over the
windows. He states that the existing wall sign is very large in proportion to the
storefront.
Ms. Brusca motions to accept patio fabric red awning with yellow lettering, seconded by
Ms. Bruce. Motion carries 3-0.
2. Shuka Associates - Shelly Shuka/8 Enon Street/Sign

the previous signs approved by the DRB for the other tenants of the building.
