RE: ZBA Application #1623-91 - 856 Sullivan Avenue
Dear Sir :
At the meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on January 3,
1991, a variance was granted to Section 4 . 5 .4 .4 and 4 .4 . 3 of the
Zoning Regulations to allow increase in size of the second sign
from 12 s . f . to 24 s . f . with a maximum height of 6 feet on property
located at 856 Sullivan Ave . (GC Zone)
The following conditions apply:
1 . The original map for the 12 s . f . sign approved must be
amended showing the location of the sign moved to the right
side of the center island .

visibility from Sullivan Avenue .
This action is effective upon your filing of the enclosed form in
the Town Clerk's office at your own expense .
Very truly yours,
