INFORMAL 
Barbara Walsh/Canton Center Realty Trust – Temporary Special Permit for Sign 
Petitioner plans to open Unity Feeds within the next week, and would like approval for a 
th 
sign. She will appear FORMALLY, before the Board on Sept. 9. Formerly Canton 
Liquors, this will now be a grocery store, with meats, and wine. Petitioner would like to 
install 2-4x6 panels, 2 sided on the existing old sign. Per Chairman Carroll, this is a pre-

Ms. Walsh states there will be no flashing lights. This will be internally illuminated per 
CCDRB notes, but Ms. Walsh says she wants spotlights on the sign. Lights will go out 
when she is closed. She is fond of the current sign and would like to keep it. But the light

Carroll reads the minutes from the CCDRB, this is unique, reminds us of Nantasket in the 
40’s and 50’s. Wires were snipped. The store has been vacant for almost 2 years. Mr.

guidelines, and to go in this direction……..! personally, restoring it has merit, if not, 
remove it and go with a complete new design as other downtown signs. Chairman 
Carroll says don’t spend a lot of money, until the neighbors have been notified for the 
formal meeting in September. We will review this again in September. Motion made to 
issue a temporary special permit to install 2 – 4x6 sign insert boards of MDO with 
engineered boards. Temporary Special Permit to be in force until formal application in 
Voted 3-0 to approve.
