Elias Dellaleh, Owner, is requesting to change the current sign to be 108 "x72" with red, 
white, and blue lettering stating both businesses and similar to the sign in place now. 
Chairman Carroll states there is too much information on the new sign.`' Mr. Pando states 
the sign is too busy and the sign should state name, address, and phone numbers. Mr. 
Marini concurs with others. Mr. Pando, suggests looking at signs across the street and The 
Pilates Studio next door to get an idea of what is appropriate. 
Mr. Pando makes a motion to Washington Street Auto Sales / Canton Auto Service of 879 
Washington Street to grant a special permit to modify existing sign to be 72" x 72 ",'' 
double -sided with 3 colors stating name, address, and phone. The proposed sign is subject

Dmitri Glukhovsky — 23 Algonquin Road - '4 -15- ENCB -SP -V CPC, GP; im) 
Chairman Carroll reads the petition. Attorney Suzanne Matthews and Dmitri Glukhovsky 
request to withdraw the petition. Atty Matthews states after further review the Petitioner 
doesn't need relief at this time. Atty Matthews states in 1953 a subdivision was laid out 
and in 2004 additions were built with permits for 23 Algonquin Road and 21 Algonquin 
Road but after further review the accurate property line was closer to 23 Algonquin Road. 
Atty Matthews states both properties are in violation of the current zoning dimensional 
requirements' in lot square footage and frontage. Atty Matthews states the addition at 23 
Algonquin Road is too close to the property line and M.G.L. 40A' Section 7 with a statute 
of limitations up to 6 years. Atty Matthews states the violation was in 2004, pleadings 
were in February 2008 in Land Court with numerous exhibits, abutter showed the correct 
line and fence had to be removed, and had to be followed up within 6 years. Atty 
Matthews says when 21 Algonquin Road or 23 Algonquin Road plan on selling their 
homes then a variance will be needed and buyer will assume responsibility. 
Chairman Carroll states it is a surveyor's nightmare. Mr. Pando states it is a complex case' 
and could potentially effect 30 lots. Mr. Marini states the dwelling on 23 Algonquin Road 
is 5.' from the side when it should be 20'.
