The North Kingstown Planning Commission met on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in the Municipal Offices Court Room at 100 Fairway Drive, North Kingstown, RI. The agenda listed a 7:30 PM start; the meeting occurrence metadata records the meeting timestamp as 12:45 UTC. The agenda included two Citizens Bank signage matters (a design-standard waiver and a recommendation to the Zoning Board of Review), a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 2020 review, and approval of the December 21, 2021 minutes. The available transcript is heavily garbled, so the following summary reflects the agenda and general discussion themes rather than verbatim statements or formal votes.
Citizens Bank Sign Waiver and Zoning Recommendation
The Planning Commission considered a request from Citizens Bank, NA, for property at 100 Frenchtown Road, North Kingstown, AP 177 Lot 031, zoned Post Road District (PR) and located in the Groundwater Protection Area Zone 1. The applicant sought a waiver from the signage design standards in Article 14.3.13(6) Signage to erect a single-pole style freestanding sign. The Commission also had before it a related application for a dimensional variance from Article X, Section 21-249 (Requirements by Zone and Type of Sign) to recommend to the Zoning Board of Review. Discussion captured in the transcript focused on the sign's size, colors, design, and its relationship to the Commission's standard sign design. No clear motion or vote is discernible from the available audio-to-text record.
CDBG Program Year 2020 Review

Meeting Transcript
So it's true, I think so. I agree. And for a fine, it's um requests in front of you. And so there is that's where I'm saying it's uh in that particular request because I do we have a losing pool. So not to say something was the standard design. Oh, I didn't know that's the back thing to learn. And I guess you know this is a time. I think that I'm just gonna find and typically five words on any customer. Um the question I guess I was just so I think that's how we should spend a little more time than I can. So I mean also um the same thing. And then also the first one that's really one. So I was going to free it to the last thing. So I think it's all my friends. So I think this is all right. So I would find that this is all I think I think is for this because I was easy. Um that couple years one focus on the six and um so it does very well for us um here is a lot of things um being that because of the one that's the place and size um here's more things. Right. So we think the green part is quite funny. But you know, it's a he doesn't use anything. And I don't know how people find you explained to five. So my design is fine to be quite a while, and it's the one that's fine, quite free. Um, and so I don't know how we find the following thing. What that means is the open side. Oh, science. And um somewhat simple one. So these cycles are wild. What's the difference between calling single call? Well, please find this while to do the problem that we have to work with the approach world and try to do that because it's people to find the big one. But that is very something we should be. But it's kind of sound right now, so it's a mission. I don't have a problem. So again, I guess it's not typical. But they call topics right here and have a cycle. So I'm not going to. And I decided the presentation considerations for the while is the colours and design. I I think I don't think that's why it's why it's just funny. So I've seen one thing. Um this size now is why we need to sign up since the one thing seems to be for the thing just because it's so important. Um the data is there are all that question. This is a couple of this so it's five size the wrong box on well. It does um because they're a lot of things a while with something like that's specifically fine. Because um it does a while with something like specifically says um what do you see the things are size and I think uh that the thing of size things like this is a way to buy the design as a whole and uh first and also uh besides and this one is actually uh what is something that you have here to work on how I think no source of the first one that's like one there is all the same because uh if this calls are fine no if you go to the country pretty far with one side of the actual and file sign as software testing classes uh see the wall post code. We can do all that stuff to get everything on the side of the people I can see. I think you have to say that all you have to watch is that you can be allowed to be trying to work. Um why would you uh just go inside the server sideways also? Um I decided to always have and then just company. No, don't be still in business no one's coming to file the last one in the moment. Um I think that's all I can And so then it's my cultural issue we're talking about because this is trying on this but the um is the problem. I know the whole five years.
