Roll Call Vote Lesley Wallace- aye Ryan Coholan- aye Wendy Shuck- aye Bett McCarthy- aye Foreside Harbor LLC, 1919 Main Street, West Barnstable, Map 216, Parcel 029, Built 1950 Install a new double-sided custom post and panel style sign for new tenant. Mary-Ann Agresti was in attendance for this item. Mary-Ann walked the Committee through the application. Both round balls that were on top of the posts were eliminated from the proposal. A slight arch was added to the top of the sign which softens it. The top of the post has a very simple angle to shed water. Mary-Ann made comparisons to the other signs in the area which shows precedent. They went to the Benjamin Moore historic pallet. All the colors have been muted and requested that all three colors be maintained on the sign that references the logo. Committee Discussion: Wendy- Agreed with Lesley’s and Ryan’s comments and appreciated the changes that have been made. She noted that the sign has such a modern look compared to the other signs in the area. She stated that the suggestions from Ryan and Lesley could be very helpful in creating that historic look and feel. Lesley- Referenced a sign by 6A and Parker Road. Lesley referenced the Ojala Farms sign stating that a longer post with caps would look more appropriate. She suggested a colored background, a blue to match the front door, with white lettering. Does not think the colors are appropriate. Ryan- Noted that the applicant worked with their suggestions from the last meeting and thanked the applicant. Ryan agreed with Lesley that the cap posts that stand a little higher would be more appropriate. He agreed that the arch softens the sign. He noted with these changes he could get past the multiple colors. Bett- Thought the arch is appropriate and the caps are a great suggestion. Bett noted the yellow fades out and would be barely noticeable. The red, white, and blue would be appropriate. Suggested that the blue and red be used in the lettering and eliminate the yellow from the lettering. Mary-Ann clarified that the ball logo would keep the yellow in it. Mary-Ann agreed to a continuation to the next meeting to update the sign. Public Comment: A letter was submitted by Ms. Reilly in opposition to this project. Deb Wilsea- Executive Director of the Cape Cod Toy Library introduced herself. She noted her appreciation for the suggestions and comments of the Committee. She noted that it is a recognizable logo that has been established for about ten years. Wendy Shuck moved to continue the certificate of appropriateness application for Foreside Harbor LLC, 1919 Main Street, West Barnstable, Map 216, Parcel 029, Built 1950 to install a new double-sided custom post and panel style sign for new tenant to the Wednesday July 23, 2025 meeting at 6:30pm to be held remotely via Zoom.

Roll Call Vote Lesley Wallace- aye Ryan Coholan- aye Wendy Shuck- aye Bett McCarthy- aye Peri Wentworth was in attendance for this item. The kitchen needs to be reworked and would take three double hung windows and would be replaced with a picture window with a small transom on the top which is the preferable style as it closely matches the front picture window. The other option was a triple encasement window. Two picture windows would be added to the rear of the house as well to give more light. Committee Discussion: Ryan- All changes proposed makes sense. The house is set back from the road and the bulk of the changes are towards the rear and not highly visible. Appropriate. Wendy- Noted her preference for the picture window with the transom. The kitchen window is really only visible when you’re diving one way and the other two are note visible at all. No issues or objections to the proposal. Lesley- She noted her preference for the picture window as well. Noted it is a wonderful change and no issues with the proposal. Bett- No issues with the proposal as it blends in well with the house and is minimally visible. Public Comment: None Wendy Shuck moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Ryan Coholan.
