Decision: At a regular meeting of the Design Review Board (DRB), upon a motion duly made and seconded,
it was unanimously voted to recommend approval of the sign proposal as designed and conditioned herein.
Referenced Plans and Documents
1. Sign Proposal, prepared by Concept Signs, 57 Bridge Street, Salem, MA 01970, dated 9/22/2020.
2. Staff Comments dated 10/14/20.
Condition of Approval

not be completed as detailed in the plans referenced herein and the following conditions,
he/she/they shall return to the DRB to review proposed modifications prior to making any changes
in the field.
2. Removal of Apostrophe: The apostrophe after the word “Orchid” shall be removed.
Findings

standards and guidelines in the SRA Sign Manual and the City of Salem Sign Ordinance.
2. The proposal is modest with members appreciating its simplicity in design.
