1 Derby Square
Small Project Review – Installation of Vinyl Decals on 2nd Story Windows
Meeting Date: March 24, 2021
Members Present: Paul Durand, Chair, David Jaquith, Catherine Miller, Marc Perras, Helen Sides
Members Absent: Glenn Kennedy, J. Michael Sullivan
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 proposed installation of vinyl decals
on the second story windows as designed and conditioned herein.
Referenced Plans and Documents
1.Application documents compiled by Ken McTague, Concept Sign, 147 Bridge Street, Salem, MA
01970, submitted on 3/17/21.
2.Staff Comments dated 3/17/21.
Condition of Approval: The DRB recommends incorporating the following condition:
1.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 DRB to
review proposed modifications prior to making any changes in the field.
Findings
1.Design Preference: The Board members expressed a preference for Option 1 over Option 2 but
also believe alternating the designs on the windows would be appropriate as well.
2.Modest Design: The decals are small with a simple design and monochrome color scheme. They
are a modest addition to the second story windows.
3.Impact on Historic Structure and Windows: The vinyl decals are not permanent installations on
the windows and can be easily removed at any time by the current tenant or by future tenants.
They do not impact the building’s historic architecture or integrity.
Signature of the DRB: By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the
actions of the Design Review Board.
