MOTION: Mr. Battistelli moved to continue to the April 24, 2019 meeting. Mr. Andrews seconded the Motion. Votes 5 -0 (Margolis, Caldwell, Gougian, Battistelli, Andrews) Motion carries. Alexander & Femino o /b /o CEA Beverly LLC In a petition for a request for a Special Permit to construct three monument signs identifying the premises as North Shore Crossing, two of which have dimensions of 4 feet and 4 inches in height and 18 feet in length and one of which has a height of 6 feet and a length of 28 feet. The property is located at 140 -142 Brimbal Avenue in the IR zoning district. Thomas Alexander, Esq. (Alexander & Femino) addressed the Board on behalf of CEA Beverly and stated Northshore Crossing is requesting a sign permit to clearly identify the property. They have obtained both Site Plan approval and a Special Permit from the Planning Board. They are here to request a Special Permit for free standing signs. The Design Review Board determined the sign package to be attractive. They are proposing one sign visible from the entrance coming in from Route 128 that is 12'x 1"x 39" with a3 foot depth. This design is much lower than what is allowed in this zone. They are also proposing two entry signs 4.10" x 23" wide and 5" in depth. These calculations are larger than the sign is. These signs are permitted by Special Permit by this Board which allows for the City to have greater input of the signs aesthetics. Atty. Alexander stated Special Permit requirements are met, it's an appropriate location for the proposed use, the IR overlay district allows for retail plazas, there is no factual evidence that property values will be adversely affected, there is no undue traffic or nuisance resulting, there are adequate and appropriate facilities, there are no valid objections from abutting property owners, there are adequate and appropriate City services. This is a brand new plaza with brand new utilities and roadways all funded by a grant obtained by the City. No members of the public spoke in favor or against. Steve Cohen, Principal addressed the Board and stated this sign was designed to be seen from vehicles entering the roundabout which is about 220 feet away. They worked with the Design Review Board to make the sign as small as possible and still be visible from that distance. The signage was reduced in height from 15' to 12' as well as a reduction in the size of the letters. The sign itself is set back from the road about 40' and is designed to hug the ground and fit in with the landscape. The sign identifies the name of the retail plaza, it does not list the tenants. It does not look like the typical retail plaza sign. At the main entrance on Brimbal Avenue there is a low stone wall on either side of the entrance with small signage on the wall itself. Stephanie Poyant Moran stated the sign is back lit and low key. Page 2 of 13 Mr. Battistelli stated he really appreciates the work that went in to create this sign package. MOTION: Mr. Battistelli moved to close the public hearing. Ms. Caldwell seconded the Motion. Votes 5 -0 (Margolis, Caldwell, Gougian, Battistelli, Andrews) Motion carries. MOTION: Ms. Caldwell moved to Grant the Special Permit for 3 freestanding signs at 140 -142 Brimbal Avenue pursuant to the December 7, 2018 approval by the Design Review Board and finding it meets the criteria of a Special Permit.

Peter Harkins stated his business is BackBeat Brewing Company and they are also planning on being a coffee roaster. They are seeking to add a cafe to serve coffee and light sandwiches in the morning and then light snacks at night with the beer.

Mr. Harkins stated he anticipates most people coming in will already be parked and walking in for coffee. No members of the public spoke in favor or against. Mr. Battistelli asked how they will address someone buying a coffee and staying for 8 hours. Mr. Harkins stated they will likely have 6 or 8 spots and then the rest will be on street parking. Ms. Gougian stated most of the parking in that area is kiosk parking and so patrons would have to pay to park until 8pm. Mr. Andrews asked the Board if businesses could claim spots in municipal lots as their own. Mr. Frederickson stated parking is subject to Planning Department approval. Ms. Caldwell stated she thinks it is a good idea and is in favor of the request. Mr. Basso asked what the percentage is of tap room and brewery and Mr. Harkins stated it is under 33 %. The upper level is storage, it is not used space. Page 3 of 13 Ms. Gougian asked if he is leasing this space and Mr. Harkins confirmed. Ms. Gougian stated it is an odd combination to have a restaurant attached to an auto shop. Mr. Battistelli stated it's a good business plan, however, parking will be the only issue. Mr. Basso stated he is looking at the last photo that shows outdoor seating and is wondering if they are planning to add some greenery to soften the space. Mr. Harkins stated he would like to make it as attractive as they can. The patio is at the other end of the building from where the auto body shop will be. Ms. Caldwell asked what the proposed hours would be. Mr. Harkins stated 5am to noon for coffee and then be open for beer Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 8pm. Sundays they are closed.

Mr. Abate stated he talked to the Health Department and they stated as long as the walls and doors are sealed, which they will be, there shouldn't be an issue.

Page 4 of 13 L'U'l Mr. Frederickson stated this is another application that needs approval from the Planning Department relating to parking.

Ms. Caldwell read the addresses of the abutters. Atty. Heney stated they are requesting a Variance to construct a front porch in the driveway which would provide a buffer to the entry of the house and where cars are traveling.
