Good Morning Ken,
Thank you for submitting this application. I will add it to the January 27th DRB meeting and will send you an agenda when it is
finalized approximately a week before the meeting.
Can you confirm the name of the business? Is it Sweet Boba or Swee Boba? The sign specs have the 't' and the mock-up is
missing the 't'.
Thank you,
Kate

Ken McTague commented on Assigned by location regarding Urban Renewal Zone for
#SP-20-32
"Hi Kate, Yes we plan to use the existing brackets, which are all at 13' from the
bottom of the bracket to the ground, with the sign at 32" we keep the bottom of the
sign at 10' (not sure the dimensions on dunks, if I had to guess they were around
2x3) unfortunately the awnings do obstruct a portion of the derby st side from
certain angles. I have attached a picture of how the neighboring sign Cilantro
(3'x4') is effected by the awning. I suspected the smaller width on ours will allow it
to protrude a bit more and be less obstructed. "

Design Review Board Sign Recommendation
282 Derby Street
Sweet Boba Signs
Meeting Date: January 27, 2021
Members Present: Paul Durand, Chair, Helen Sides, Vice-Chair, David Jaquith, Glenn Kennedy,
Catherine Miller, Marc Perras, J. Michael Sullivan
Members Absent: None
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, submitted
12/11/2020.
2. Staff Comments dated 1/20/21.
Conditions of Approval
1. Consistency with Design/Plans: Should the applicant determine that the approved sign design may
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. Sign Design: The pink pin stripe detail around the name of the business and the logo shall be
removed.
3. Surety Bond: The applicant shall adhere to the surety bond requirements as found in the City of
Salem’s Code of Ordinances, Section 4-47: Signs or Structures over Public Ways.
Findings
1. The DRB reviewed the sign proposal and found that the proposed signage is consistent with the
standards and guidelines in the SRA Sign Manual and the City of Salem Sign Ordinance.
2. The proposal is modest with members appreciating its charming design.
3. The members found that the requirement for blade signs to be stationary was not appropriate for
this sign for the following reasons:
a. The applicant is using the existing brackets that do not allow for the sign to be pinned
stationary. This is preferable to installing new ones which would require drilling new holes
into the building’s historic brick façade; and
b. The signs are small and thus the wind load and movement of the signs will be minimal.
Signature of the DRB
By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the Design
Review Board.
