RE: Request for Second Minor Modification- Business Signage
Couto Management Group, LLC (“Developer”)
d/b/a Dunkin Donuts Brand
442 Main Street
Hyannis, MA 02601
Dear Karen:
Please be advised that this office represents the Developer concerning the redevelopment of 442
Main Street, Hyannis MA.
On October 14, 2021, the HHDC issued the Developer a Certificate of Appropriateness for
Business Signage (“Certificate”) related to the new Dunkin' Donuts with Drive-Thru at 442 Main
Street. A copy of the Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A copy of the Approved Plan is
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
I write to request a minor change and clarification of the Certificate as follows:
1. Monument Sign (Sign #2): The Applicant requests to construct the Monument Sign
in accordance with the enclosed Plan entitled “Monument Post & Panel Sign- 2-Sided
(non-lit) Page 1” by Viewpoint Sign & Awning dated 8/12/24, 10/3/24, 10/21/24,
10/31/23, 7/9/25. A copy of this Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
The reason for the reduction in sign area is that the HHDC-approved Monument sign exceeds the
allowable sign area as set forth in the Applicant’s Regulatory Agreement with the Town of
Barnstable. The Applicant’s proposed Monument sign (Exhibit C) has received the approval of
the Planning Board with the condition that the Applicant plant three (3) Annabelle Hydrangeas
and three (3) Blue Princess Hollys around the brick base.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or clarification.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Patrick R. Nickerson
