SUBJECT: Borghesi Shopping Center, Webster Square Road &
Mill St. , Berlin
On Tuesday, February 19 , 1980, the Design Review Committee
met with Mr. Allan Borghesi & Mr. Jeffrey Borghesi , Borghesi
Building & Engineering Co. , Inc. , 766 Riverside Avenue ,
Torrington, Conn. , to review p1Gns for building #4 which
will be the third building to be constructed at the shopping
center.
I . STRUCTURE ANALYSIS:
The proposed building will be identical to building
#1, 120' x 50' , Fin. Elev. 46. 0
The same type of building meterisls will be used
on the new building es were used on the existing
buildings .
II . SITE ANALYSIS:
The Committee feels that some thought should be given
to the alignment of sidewalk exits to the parking area.
Example: Handicap ramp from building #1 should
line up with the ramp from building #3 when it is
built, so a direct crossing could be made.
With this coordination of sidewalk openings it
would make it easier for people to cross from one
building to another.
The Committee also suggested the lowering of parking
signs to approximately bumper height.
When Building #3 is to be built , the Committee feels that
a different type of building should be considered, perhaps
an octagonal shape. This building will be the center or
focal poin s Niipi grater and should be planned

February 19 , 1980
TO: Mr. Emil Carlson, Building Inspector .
FROM: Design Review Committee
SUBJECT: Red Barn Radiator Company, 293 New Britain Road,
Kensington, Conn.
The Design Review Committee met with Mrs. Gail Spada, wife
of the owner of Red Barn Radiator Co. , on Tuesday; Feb. 19 ,
1980, to discuss the installation of a sign.
This sign would be free standing on 4" x 4" brown stained ,posts.
It will be approximately 60" wide by 40" high with a white
background, black lettering with a red barn motif.
The Committee m::_de the' following suggestions: .
1. The lettering on the sign should be enlarged to make
it more visible.
2. The' sign must be 'installed at least 10' from the
property line, according to zoning regulations. .
If the company wishes the sign to be placed closer
to the property line , it is necessary to get a
variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
3 . The hanging posts holding the sign could be extended
a few inches above and at the ends to give a more
rustic appearance.
