Catching Up

Catching Up

For those just joining, the existing St. Vincent's Hospital at 275 North Street is part of a much larger proposed subdivision project. This bigger plan involves dividing the 64.6-acre property into seventeen new residential lots and one commercial lot for the hospital. The overall '275 North Street Subdivision' requires a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) due to potential significant environmental impacts, and the hospital's existing use is non-conforming in its R-1 residential zone.

Key Insights

The discussion centered on ensuring the new monument sign at 275 North Street meets critical safety and zoning standards.

  • The applicant, St. Vincent's Hospital, proposed replacing an existing monument sign at 275 North Street.
  • Key concerns raised by the board included potential sight line restrictions and proper setback requirements for the new sign.
  • The applicant was directed to consult with the town engineer to ensure compliance with state and AASHTO standards.

Next Steps

The applicant must consult with the town engineer to review the sign proposal against state and AASHTO standards. Further discussion by the Planning Board will occur after this consultation.
