Commentary on OPLI Signage September 20, 2006 The Lee CDC has requested that this article be brought before the Town Meeting. There are two basic changes proposed from the existing bylaw. First, the current directory sign at the entrance to our industrial park is located on the State’s right of way and it has been requested that this sign be moved back from its current location. This proposed bylaw will allow for some increased flexibility in dealing with this issue. Second, this proposed bylaw would allow building owners to have more signage space where additional professional or rental tenants are located within a single structure. Signs identifying these additional users could be placed on the side of the building facing the roadway. This article has the unanimous support of the Planning Board. LEE PLANNING BOARD David Durante, Chairman

This square footage does not include the area dedicated to the support system for the sign.

The size and placement of the crown sign shall be approved by the Planning Board. Each business shall be allowed an equal amount of square footage on either type of directory sign. (b) On Premises Signs: Each business within the office park/light industrial facility may be allowed one sign located on the premises accompanied by an identifying number or letter. These signs shall be in conformance with the signs of other businesses located in the same facility. They may be freestanding or attached to the building at the discretion of the Planning Board. The size shall not exceed (16) sixteen square feet. In addition, professional offices or rental tenants within the OPLI district may also be allowed to list individual professionals or tenants in a directory sign located on the premises.
