3. 157 Cabot Street — H &R Block, Sandwich Board Sign — Carrie A. Kanosky, 157 Cabot Street,
Beverly, MA 01915
Ms. Kanosky presents her proposal for a sandwich board sign at H &R Block.
Newhall notes the comment from Steve Frederickson, the Zoning Enforcement Officer, stating that only
one sidewalk sign is allowed.
Ms. Kanosky states that she would like the larger sign to be reviewed rather than the two smaller signs.
Newhall states that once her sign is approved, she can move it closer to the edge of the sidewalk, rather
than keep it next to the building. That way, she will not need the two smaller signs that she proposed.
