Sign Compromise Reached On Bennington Shopwell Sign
Bennington Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a 1.6 square foot neon sign for Shopwell at Bennington Plaza replacing the Saveway sign, a compromise between a 40 square foot limit and a 43 square foot proposal. The decision hinges on whether a new sign must conform to the zoning ordinance when a preexisting non conforming sign existed before adoption. The board consulted attorney Manfred W Ehrich Jr. after debates on whether an appendage sign counts as an extension of the structure.
