Old Town Hall Exterior RestorationDecision
Small Project Review - SRA-22-1
Address of Project: 0 DERBY SQUARE
Meeting Date:June 8, 2022
Members Present:Grace Napolitano, Chair, David Guarino, Christine Madore, Cynthia Nina-Soto, Dean Rubin
Members Absent:None
Decision:To approve this project as designed and conditioned herein.
Referenced Plans and Documents:
- Existing Elevations, Existing Site Plan, Proposed Elevations, and Proposed Site Plan, prepared by Mills Whitaker Architects LLC, PO Box 750089,
Arlington, MA 02475, dated May 6, 2022. DRB Presentation, prepared by Mills Whitaker Architects LLC, PO Box 750089, Arlington, MA 02475, presented to the Board on May 25, 2022. A series of existing conditions photographs submitted by Mills Whitaker Architects LLC, PO Box 750089, Arlington, MA 02475, submitted on March
10, 2022.
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.
- Vehicular Navigation at East Façade: The applicant shall consult with the City of Salem Traffic and Parking Department to explore what, if any,
safety measures need to be implemented to protect the integrity of the proposed ramp at the east façade. Ramp Safety: The applicant may consider adding a gate to both sides of the proposed accessible ramp so that this access is closed when the
building is not in use. This ramp may not deter all individuals from accessing the sub-grade area, but it will provide a visual cue that the area is not
for recreation and it will provide a physical barrier from accidently stumbling down the ramp or the stairs. Design Details: The applicant shall return for additional design review when finishes, materials, and the like are identified for the exterior elements
and the proposed access ramp. The applicant should ensure that the proposed railings match existing ones and that the transition of the to-be-
exposed foundation with the above-grade façade treatments at the ramp area is addressed with care.
Findings:
- The SRA, a body duly established and responsible for overseeing all the duties as prescribed by M.G.L. 121B and in Salem's Downtown Renewal
Plan, and having jurisdiction over proposed changes to the exterior facades of all buildings in the Downtown Renewal Area, finds that this project to
restore and rehabilitate a significant historic structure is appropriate and consistent with the goals and standards in the Downtown Renewal Plan. Members support the proposed ramp and accompanying stairwell that creates a second means of accessible egress into the building via its
basement and find that it is the optimal design to preserve the overall look and character of the building and its place in Derby Square.
Signature of the SRA: By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the Salem Redevelopment
Authority Board.

MASSACHUSETTS ARCHITECTURAL ACCESS BOARD:
This project triggers the need for full compliance with
current regulations (521 CMR). Variance requests
require documentation to show that the cost of full
compliance is excessive as compared to the benefit
gained for the disabled. Special consideration is
given to the potential loss of historic significance.
VARIANCE REQUEST & ALTERNATIVE ENTRANCE:
Current regulations require all public entrances to be
accessible. The Essex Street entrance at the north
facade will be improved and be made fully accessible.
Making the Front Street entrance(s) accessible at the
south facade would permanently disrupt historic
resources and is not recommended. An alternative
accessible entrance into the basement is proposed
for minimal disruption and maximum benefit.
