Board consensus was that the Route 2A Overlay District should be eliminated.
Lake Whalom Overlay District- Board opinions varied. K. Chenis recommended eliminating, M. Jeffreys wanted additional time
to think about it, D. Prokowiew thought it could be redone for walkability, amenities, etc. A. Burney suggested eliminating the
District, and then create a new Section. D. Prokowiew was in agreement with that suggestion.
Tri Town Overlay District- leave as it.
Summer Street Revitalization Overlay - Discussion needed.
Floodplain Overlay District - recommended not changing.
M. Allison suggested the creation of an economic development overlay. A. Burney suggested once changes are voted by town

Public Hearing
1 Main Street
November 27, 2017
Time: 6:35 PM
Place: Town Hall, 17 Main Street, Lunenburg, MA 01462
Present: Matthew Allison, Kenneth Chenis, David Prokowiew, Michael-Ray Jeffreys, Adam R. Burney
Absent: Gregory Bittner
The Public Hearing was to hear and discuss an application for Special Permit under §250-4.17.H(3) of the Code of the Town of Lunenburg, MA
to install a 34 square foot freestanding sign at 1 Main Street (Map 071, Parcel 0095).
Application presented by applicant/owner Philip Arcidiacono, Lunenburg Village Realty Inc., Box 681, Concord, MA. The freestanding sign has
been requested by a number of the tenants of The Village as their businesses are not easily seen from the street. The sign will be nine (9) feet
from the edge of right-of-way and will be non-illuminated. There will be script at the top that identifies "The Village" with spaces below for
individual tenant signs. Both the bank and the post office are also part of The Village, but each already has an individual free-standing sign.
This sign will be for the tenants in the "upper" portion of The Village. The sign will be perpendicular to Massachusetts Avenue and far enough
away from the parking area as to not interfere with snow plowing. Each tenant will have a block on the sign and will be responsible for the
content and customization.
M. Jeffreys inquired if this would be considered a Contributing Property under the Architectural Preservation District Commission (APDC) as
the APDC regulations become effective December 1, 2017. A. Burney needs to check, but believes this is a separate structure. A. Burney
M. Jeffreys, Motion, to grant all requested waivers, Second, D. Prokowiew, all aye.
D. Prokowiew, Motion to close Public Hearing, Second, K. Chenis, all aye.
