24 Charter Street-Rear Window RemovalDecision Small Project Review - SRA-22-4 Address of Project: 24 CHARTER STREET Meeting Date:April 13, 2022 Members Present:Grace Napolitano, David Guarino, Cynthia Nina-Soto, Dean Rubin Members Absent:Russ Vickers Decision:To approve the project pending successful completion of Design Review Board review. Referenced Plans and Documents: - Application materials, including existing conditions photographs, prepared by Matt Tatkow, owner, 24 Charter Street, submitted on March 30, 2022. DRB Presentation prepared by Matt Tatkow, owner, 24 Charter Street, presented at the May 25, 2022 meeting. Conditions of Approval: - Validity of Approval: This approval is valid for two years from the date of the meeting. The approval shall no longer be valid if a substantial use and/or construction has not commenced except for good cause within this two-year period. - Consistency with Approved Design/Plans: Should the applicant determine that the project may not be completed as presented and conditioned herein, he/she/they shall return to the SRA to review proposed modifications prior to making any changes in the field. - Paint Colors: The applicant may consider using a less bright white on the trim elements; Superwhite is quite stark and may not be appropriate for the historic building. Board members suggest considering Benjamin Moore Mayonnaise or Mannequin Cream, which are softer whites. The Board also appreciates increasing the contrast between the color used on the façade of the home and that which is used on the trim elements, which will allow the trim elements to stand out. Findings: - The SRA reviewed the project for consistency with Plan Objectives listed on page E-6 in the Executive Summary of the Downtown Renewal Plan. The Board found that the project is consistent with several of the stated objectives as follows: Through financial investment in this historic residential building, the project will help to eliminate and prevent the reoccurrence of blighting factors and restore conditions of healthy, safety, amenity, and economic viability. The project will preserve and enhance the historic architecture of the district, which is a valued contributor to the civic, cultural, and economic environment of the Downtown Renewal Area. The SRA found that the project is consistent with the SHC Notebook. The removal of the rear windows will not be visible from a public way, thus significantly reducing negative impacts to the Area. The change in paint color will revive the façade, making the building an attractive addition to the streetscape. Signature of the SRA: By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the Salem Redevelopment Authority Board.

Findings: - The Board appreciates the financial investment into the historic structure and the responsible approach to retaining, restoring, and highlighting important architectural features. The removal of the windows on the rear façade is a de minimus change to the exterior of the building. They are not visible from the public way and have very limited visibility from the rear yards of abutting properties. The removal of these two windows will not have a negative impact on the historic urban fabric of the downtown renewal area. Signature of the DRB: By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the Design Review Board.

We just want to offer to the DRB and the applicant the suggestion that the windows being removed from the rear of the building be infilled to retain the outline of the original brick openings. Although this is a small feature at the rear of the building, doing so is a clear visual way to tell the story of the building as well as add interest to an otherwise blank wall. Thank you for considering this suggestion.
