2. DRB - Sign Permit Application 
493 Main Street, Seven Mountain Acupuncture & Creative Living Shop, Zazzaro/Bloomfield
Mrs. Bloomfield was present and answered several questions from the commissioners.  The sign application was approved as submitted.
Other DRB Issues: Scott discussed the Bennington Butcher, bagel, grocer shop and said that the construction was completed according to the previously approved plans.  Dan Monks had been very cautious in overseeing this construction and other than two minor outside landscaping items, everything else was completed per specs.  Tally's is completed and was done according to plans.  The only remaining item is the unpainted support beams which will be painted shortly or in the spring.  Laura will forward pictures of both places to commission members.
3. CLG National Register Expansion Review
HPC members had several comments or changes to make to Paula Sugarman's Statement of Significance.  They would like Paula to come to a meeting so that the comments could be discussed.

Overall, the HPC members were extremely impressed with Paula's work.
