He stated he has received the memo from the Town <br />Engineer which recommended the Board deny endorsement because it was determined that 96 -100 Van <br />Norden Road is already situated on two separate lots. Mr. Latham provided the Board with additional <br />information as to why he believes the plan qualifies for endorsement as an ANR plan. He also provided <br />a statement which granted the Board additional time to act on the ANR plan. Mr. Weston stated he <br />would like to hear from the Town Engineer and Town Counsel regarding this matter. <br />Mr. Safina moved the Board to continue the endorsement of the ANR plan for 96 -100 Van Norden <br />Road until February 27, 2012. Mr. Tuttle seconded and the motion carried 4 -0 -0. <br />Master Signage Plan Approval — Reading Woods <br />Mr. Mastroianni represented Pulte Homes and presented the Board with the signage plan for the Reading <br />Woods development at Jacob Way in Reading. He stated that when they applied for a building permit to <br />install the stone entry wall, they were informed by the Town that they would need approval from the <br />CPDC for the installation of the sign which is to be mounted on the wall. The Site Plan Review decision <br />specifically states that all signage must be approved by the CPDC. Mr. Mastroianni described the <br />proposed signage for the site stating that they have worked closely with the Planning Department to <br />ensure the signs fit within the perimeters of the Sign By -Law. As a result of that discussion it was <br />determined that sign on the stone entry wall would be considered a free - standing sign requiring CPDC <br />approval. The other proposed on -site signs include a temporary sign to direct motorist to the sales center <br />and a series of smaller signs which would be designed to meet the requirements of <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
