Dealer’s lights heat up Epping officials
November 17, 2008
Hurlbert Toyota may be forced to pull the plug on the massive wall of lights that illuminates the front of its automotive dealership.
Town officials say the lighted wall wasn’t part of Hurlbert’s plan approved by the planning board in 2006. The dealership took over the former Crossroads Sports Center behind McDonald’s at the intersection of routes 101 and 125.
During its overhaul of the building, Hurlbert installed a large, white, plastic wall illuminated by a series of fluorescent tubes at the front entrance of the building.
Town Planner Clay Mitchell said the plan submitted by Hurlbert at the time it was approved showed the wall as a flush metal panel, not a wall filled with lights.
The wall is an eye-catcher at night and is seen easily by motorists traveling routes 101 or 125.
