Plymouth Survey Results – October 2004 Appendix
QUESTION X.
Specific Issue Questions
10a.
The size, location, height, lighting and number of signs are currently
regulated in Plymouth. Are you satisfied with the way signs are regulated in
Plymouth?
10b.
If you answered “no” to #10a, what would you like to see changed? Please
be specific (e.g. size, location, height, material, lighting) 66 suggestions offered
Size, location, lighting. Less portable/temporary signs including yard sales and political -
unattractive.
The board is attempting to hide signs. This causes people to be lost and can't find area they are
looking for. You can regulate them but use some common sense.
Lighting on Highland Street is blinding Tenney Mt. Hwy Yellow lights should not point towards sky.
More lights like Harris Furniture
While signs (i.e. The green w/ gold lettering) are very attractive, the signage is not consistent
throughout downtown.
Limit brightness of lighted signs at night
The Village District (downtown) should have a strict standard. Where as the commercial area (Rte
25) should promote commercial growth.
If I want a sign for my business, it has to be place so far back from the street, who'd be able to see
it among the trees at its current size allotment? Bigger signs & closer to street but not so it blocks a
driver's view of road.
Smaller, less lighting, natural materials
Anything to not be so blinded @ night
They should be classier looking & smaller.
Less lighting
Maintain present signage - 1/2 you can't even see. College parking in front of signs; needs
enforcement.
Some of the street signs need to be bigger - They are difficult to read at times.
No regulation - No fees
No lighted signs. All signs 30' from roadway
No lights for night (e.g. BEST (motel)). Don't light McDonalds & Burger King - too bright & showy
Keep them low, low light!
Sign regulation seems to work well - However, there is a need to better regulate lighting. The
Burger King lights are far too bright. Light pollution is a service issue for the town.
WalMart is too bright! Too high! Too prominent!
1. No enforcement in effect - new or loss of grand fathering 2. More than one freestanding sign/lot
should be allowed. 3. No regulation of materials - "looks like stone, wood, etc."
With respect to interior lighted signs & spotlights on signs.
Some signs are unattractive, (I.e. Hong Kong (restaurant) & some buildings are a mess (I.e.
screaming needles
Direct light such that they do not blind drivers at night.
Do not allow larger signs - protect against light pollution. Please keep this carefully regulated!
Lighting, size & location on Route 25
I like keeping lighting & height down but some new businesses have a hard time using signs the
public can see (on Main St)
More uniformity, removal of non-compliant 'grand fathered' signs w/ compensation to owners.
I would like to see no lighted signs (such as Mobil) regulations in size & height & materials. Keep
Plymouth looking small.
Rotary in West Plymouth needs lighting
Signs & shrubs back away from corner of streets. West Plymouth Pemi Band corner of Fairground
Rd & Rte 3
Placing sign and shrubs away from the roads you need to make a turn on, such as on Fairground
