Citing aesthetic considerations, the Design and Review Board unanimously denied an application by Geno Martorelli, owner of The Galleria on Middle Street, to install a large, LED display on his property facing I91.
The DRPB heard from Michiel Wackers, Deputy Director of the Planning Department, that the State Department of Transportation rules explicitly state that signs must be approved by municipalities, that such an illuminated sign was not allowed in the Middle Street zone, and that the zoning code explicitly bans signs with changing illumination.
Members of the Board requested Wackers to begin research on updating Middletown's signage regulations to include language on LED signs.
