road to get on Rt. 3
Traffic speed controls on Highland St near (i.e. Signage?) Adrian's way - walking concerns to cross
into shopping center from Adrian's Way elderly apts.
Lighting, height
Lighting should be allowed
WalMart lighting
Size - smaller, location, materials, lighting
Should be a light over each crosswalk
Too much regulation - most of it stupid. NOTE: If someone had foresight WalMart would be a
conference center/hotel complex. As it's best Baker River Valley view-WalMart parking lot. Image a
deck resto looking up BRV. It would bring big $ to town.
Would like to see less lighting on Thurlow Street. More lighting across new bridge (Holderness-
Plymouth replacement bridge)
I think neon lighted signs do not add to the ambience of Plymouth.
More regulation of signs according to their district & a higher standard of low & attractive signs in
our commercial areas.
More restrictions. Hong Kong Gardens! Too big, Too bright, Too ugly
As it tries to maintain its Main Street atmosphere, signs should not be plastic (or similar
composites) i.e. Hong Kong Restaurant
Signs should be small, no neon lights (dentist near hospital has ugly neon sign) (entrance to TMH
has huge, ugly neon sign)
Far too restrictive a company can't properly advertise itself. Customers go by business because
they can't see the signs.
Why most everything be regulated?
I agree neon strip type signage would cheapen the town's image but the size restrictions are too
harsh also it should be based on a case-to-case situation.
If a business owner wants a sign on their business - Let them do it. Don't dismiss it as not meeting
code.
Need more no parking signs on our streets & enforcement of them
There is too large or "loom" from signs & lighting. Too high
More lighting in some area. By the post office. Better signs in the crosswalk & entering down over
Highland Street. Mixing in with traffic coming in by the post office.
Yield sign of Highland St across from bank should be larger. There should be signs on telephone
poles to state no skateboards or bicycles on sidewalk.
Less regulation. Too restrictive now should be able to have size, location, height etc. as the
business needs.
We need a more sophisticated system that looks at the whole impact of signs to the property & the
neighbors that is in the context of the neighborhood.
I think signs for McDonalds or WalMarts and other business should be big enough to see from
highway - as 93 for McDonalds for example. The yield sign by the bank is dangerous.
Prevent signs from being placed on Main Street like the Hong Kong Garden sign. The other
signage is much better (like that at Chase Street Market…tastefully done!)
I am not familiar with present laws.
Motel sign is too big & too high. A sign should be on highway if they want to be seen, but that sign
is horrible.
While I know that downtowns signs are regulated, there are a number of them that detract from the
aesthetic value of the area's overall appearance.
Too high, not reasonably limited i.e. WalMart, Plymouth Auto
Should have a special surtax for gaudy building such as McDonalds or Burger King
Size, height
Huge hotel sign (steel) @ the Record Enterprise building is hideous. Burger King is a good example
of how the Planning Board worked with a business to modify otherwise unseemly appearances.
Your work w/ WalMart was also exceptional.
Not sure of regulations apparently there are many horrible, oversized, internally lit, too-bright signs -
perhaps these were "grand fathered" in when the regulations were put in place.
