Notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those
owners of property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and
publishing in The Cape Cod Times, the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The petitioner seeks relief to exceed the maximum allowed height, square footage, and number
of signs for the existing Stop & Shop supermarket located at 484 Station Avenue, South
Yarmouth, Massachusetts. The property is located in the B-1 zoning district, is comprised of
—9.56 acres of area, and is fully developed with a business center.
Christina Moreau, Account Executive, Agnoli Sign Co., Inc., represented the petitioner who
proposes to replace the existing Stop & Shop wall sign with a new sign, containing the
company's new logo and to attach a second sign with the tagline, "Serving our communities
since 1914". The square footage of the proposed wall signs are as follows: 1) one logo sign
measuring —117 square feet; and 2) one tagline sign measuring —34 square feet.
The logo sign will consist of channel letters with LED illumination. The tagline sign will not
contain any additional company name and will not be illuminated. The two wall signs are shown
on the petitioner's plan, entitled "Stop & Shop/2018 Logo/MA", by Agnoli Sign Company Inc.,
revised February 11, 2026. At the hearing, the petitioner noted that the monument sign is shown
on the plan for reference only, as no relief is required for the monumeentt�signEat tthhis PY time—

The petitioner testified that the relief is needed because the building, in which Stop & Shop is a
tenant, is set back more than 200 feet from Station Avenue. While the signs proposed for this
Stop & Shop supermarket are reduced in size, compared to their other supermarkets, these signs
are consistent with previous Stop & Shop branding changes, including at 7 Long Pond Drive
(Decision #5135, dated October 24, 2024).
There were no public comments either in favor or against the petition. One Board Member was
concerned about the lack of trees on the subject property. However, the Board was reluctant to
hold the petitioner, who is the sign company, and not the property owner, responsible for the
entire business center which includes a number of different tenants.
It was the consensus of the Board that the granting of a Special Pcrmi would not create any
undue nuisance, hazard or congestion and that there will be no substantial harm to the established
or future character of the neighborhood or town.
A motion was made by Mr. Mantoni, seconded by Mr. Martin, to grant the Special Permit, as
requested. The members voted as follows: Mr. Martin -AYE; Mr. Mantoni-AYE; Ms. Murphy -
AYE; Mr. Panebianco-AYE; Chairman Igoe -AYE. The motion was voted 5-0 in favor.
Therefore, the Special Permit was granted.
A motion was made by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Panebianco, to allow the petitioner to
withdraw the request for a Variance without prejudice. The members voted as follows: Mr.
Martin -AYE; Mr. Mantoni-AYE; Ms. Murphy -AYE; Mr. Panebianco-AYE; Chairman Igoe -
AYE. Therefore, the request for Variance was withdrawn without prejudice.
No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. Appeals
from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL c40A section 17 and must be filed within 20
days after filing of this notice/decision with the Town Clerk. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the Special Permit shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 24 months. (See
bylaw § 103.2.5, MGL c40A §9)
