Sleepy’s sign a bit of a snore

Commentary by Frank Schroth

Screen Shot 2014-12-07 at 4.48.43 PMWe do not care for this Sleepy’s sign. Bulbs are starting to go out (see bottom of first “e”). It was initially approved as a Kennedy Carpet sign by a previous Board of Selectmen. When Sleepy’s assumed the space they retained the sign and received approval from the current board. Given the sign was already in place, there was not much the board could do. That sign is what it is. But now there is this.

Brief bits: Con Com mtg canceled and Milton’s diversity score

by Frank Schroth

This week’s meeting of the Conservation Commission has been cancelled. Cancelling a meeting would not be newsworthy were it not for their agenda which had 4 items related to 40B developments. They were going to discuss an application for demolition and an application for site development with regard to Hendries. Also related to that site was a discussion on the demolition of the town owned portion of Hendries. They were also going to resume  discussion of a site development application for 711 Randolph Avenue. The meeting was cancelled due to a member being out of town.
