Paul Durand, Chair, David Jaquith, Glenn Kennedy, Catherine Miller, Marc Perras, J. Michael Sullivan Members Absent: Helen Sides 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 schematic design plans for 38 Norman Street with consideration of the comments provided by board members at the meeting as listed below. Referenced Plans and Documents 1. Application Documents prepared by Philip Sima, Balance Architects, 197 8th Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02129, dated July 8, 2021. 2. Staff Comments dated 7/22/21. Board Member Comments: The DRB requests the SRA and the applicant consider and respond to the following comments in future design iterations of this project. 1. Windows: • Evaluate the first-floor windows in the commercial space and consider alternate styles that reflect the commercial use of the space. • Consider removing the first-floor windows that screen the covered parking area and replacing them with a different type of visual screen, which will help to demarcate the commercial use from the parking use. • If the applicant would like to explore accordion style windows for the commercial area, the applicant should reach out to the Health Department to determine what, if any, interior modifications need to be made to ensure compliance with various health regulations if the commercial space is to be a restaurant. • Window spacing on the upper levels can take more cues from the larger buildings in the immediate neighborhood. 2. Façade Articulation: • Consider pulling back the clapboards where they meet the brick façade by the width of a brick so there is a clean and concise transition between the two materials. • Review the shape of the bays facing Norman Street. Some members appreciated the proposed angled bays while others thought that a square bay could work as well. • The cornice detailing was appreciated, though it may need a bit more fenestration. 3. Masonry: • Consider the patterns in the masonry. • The rendering reads as a pink-toned brick, future design plans should clearly portray the desired brick color. 4. Landscaping and Site Features: • Future design plans should include detailed information on plant species and spacing of plantings. • The applicant shall consider building signage, design, and location. • Future plan iterations should indicate snow storage and/or include a plan for snow removal from the site. 5. Mechanical Systems: • Future design plans must consider the required mechanical systems, where they will be located, and how they will be screened from view from the public way and from the rooftop decks. During the meeting, Board members acknowledged the continued work of the applicant team and appreciated their responsiveness to SRA concerns and to comments from Historic Salem, Inc., and the community. Members appreciated the design evolution of the project and look forward to participating in design review of this project during future design development and construction document stages. Signature of the DRB: By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the discussion and actions of the Design Review Board. _______________________________________ _________ Paul Durand Date Chair 7/29/21
