Presented project
Comments:
Kuester- freestanding signs are not allowed. Material is not approvable. No vinyl letters.
Normand- agrees with what has been said
Young-campus signage similar to the hospital. No free-standing signs, materials and graphics.
Knowing the space, use a wall sign or perhaps a quarter board as enter the main entrance. It
would be visible and replace both free-standing signs. Serif letters are strongly encouraged.
Other business' have modified their fonts to accommodate the guidelines.
Cutone-agrees with what has been said
Wolf-directional signs are viewable- maybe only 1 is appropriate. Questioned other tenants in
the building and might need a Master Sign Plan.
• Jurgita Budaite- Sanford Rd. Unit#2- N/A
• Enforcement-Alarm sign was removed
• Discussion and possible vote of Construction sign letter to Nantucket Builders Association- need
to edit the picture, once published. Briefly discussed potential update to construction and site
signs. Would like to include additional changes to the guidelines at some point. Program once
sign format approved,they can use at a different location. Will accept suggestions.
• Next Sign Advisory Council meeting: Tuesday April 13,2021 at 9:00am
V. Adjournment

Comments/Recommendations:
Young-Needs to be specific as to the size and exact location of proposed sign,Anna P. Jay. Example X x Y
inches- is not specific. Add visible lighting from street meant to accent widows is prohibited. Can be reviewed
together. Suggests Anna P Jay's and this updated MSP in the same meeting.
Normand-MSP is helpful-no need to act on it-wait for new signs to be submitted and use a guide
Cutone- issue with lighting in the past. Suggests a footnote-lighting be in compliance with SAC guidelines to
include"no LED lighting" ie, rope lighting framing the windows.

Comments/Recommendations:
Staff-this is a proposed sign relocation from 5 S Water Street to Federal Street
Kuester- no problem with design or relocation. Questioning the correct size for the new location. The new
entrance is smaller in scale. Needs a more accurate drawing.
Young-the existing sign at 18A federal does not exceed the size of the bracket. Can't tell if the 5 S Water Street
sign exceeds the bracket-need a better picture
Normand-no comment
Cutone-would like to hold for more information. The sign looks large and may overwhelm the entrance and
existing armature. Perhaps the applicant can confirm
Wolf- no comment
Motion to Hold for more information made by Cutone; seconded by Normand

Sign Name: Sign Here Nantucket
Type of proposed sign: Wall sign
Location(on property) of proposed sign: Facing street
Comments/Recommendations:
Kuester- suggests using covered porch entry way instead of proposed. Hanging sign,hang off the porch by the
front door. It could still face Old South Road.
Wolf- agrees with Kuester
Cutone-picture submitted does not show entire facade of building where sign is to be located. It's cropped.
Needs to know what the building. Sign should be adjusted to the location.
Normand- looks like a bill board than a sign-more information
Young- location should be closer to the entrance.A projecting sign could work, not as large. Can also apply for a
wall sign. Follow the guidelines.
Ramos-shape of sign is their logo.
