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.

Andrew Bass from Andersen windows was in attendance for this item.
Andrew noted that this home is tucked back from the road along the power lines. The 12/12 windows would
be replaced with 2/2 windows to allow more light.
Committee Discussion:
Wendy- 2/2 is better than no grills at all and it will fit nice within the neighborhood as the neighborhood
has mixed styles.
Ryan- Given the location, he took no exception.
Lesley- Agreed with the Ryan’s and Wendy’s comments. It will give more light. No issues with this
proposal.
Bett- Agreed with the other Committee members. No issue with the proposal.

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.
