DRB RECO'2HE\DED REVIEW PROCEDURE, 7,--'dvisory Aprocedure (no action sough[) 1. The staff of the SRA should attempt to fill this role where possible. [.Then, in the judgement of the staff, either the importance or complexity of the problem indicates, one or more members of the Board may be con- tacted informally, in person or by mail or telephone, with or without the presence of the applicant. The applicants should ogenerally be dis- couraged from using the Board as a design resource and should be en_ couraged to engage professionals B. Formal submission procedure. Submissions should be made to SRa staff not later than 24 hours prior to regularly scheduled DRB meeting. These sub- missions should be pre-screened for adequacy. Incomplete or inadequate submissiors may be presented to the DRB only if in the judgement of the SRA staff such submission requirements should be waived in an individual case. The DRB, however, may elect not to act in the case of any inadequate submission. 1. Submission requirements for sign design review - 3 copies a) 3 dimensional view of building in context at least 8X10 with scaled rendering of the proposed sign (Photo pasteup should be encouraged. If the SRA has photos of the building in question, zerox copies may be made available to the applicant.) b) Exact rendering of the sign at a scale of at least 3/4"=1'0" c) Color and material samples 2. Minor alterations to buildings - Same as for sign design, except that field visits, without full-size mock up may be substituted for all or part of norr:al submission (3 copies) . 3. Major alterations, additions, or new building construction a) Schematic submission (3 copies) 1) Plan including site plan if applicable at a scale of at least 1/16" = 110" 2) Rendered elevations to public way (s) and/or three dimensional rendering indicating significant massing elements. Scale at not less than 1/8"=1'0" ?: 3) Context rendering. For this purpose a photo pasteup, conventional three-dimensional rendering, or a model should be provided which shows, at a minimum, adjacent buildings and significant space (s) in which it is located. 4) Outline specification itemizing exterior materials. This in- formation may be included on the drawings when convenient. 5) Additional material including sections when such additional material is necessary to understand the general issues involved in the proposal, especially its impact upon the public amenity and the preservation goals of the U.R. Plan. b) Final Design - Reviewed for consistency with approved schematic submission and for refinements, detail materials specification. 1) Design Development Drawings or that part of construction documents impacting upon the public amenity and preservation goals including plans, elevations, sections and typical details 'r 2) Rendered elevations at minimum of 1/4"-1'0" 3) Materials specifications and samples 4) Such additional submission as may be helpful in clarifying what the construction will actually look like when constructed. c) Field Designs, being those items which cannot be reasonably determined in the final design format such as: 1) Sample walls, panels 2) Sample paint colors in place 3) Proposed field charges for any reason - Request for approval of field charge must be accompanied by a charge order form signed by the project architect or engineer. In the event that such field decisions must be made upon short notice at the peril of costly construction delays, the review may be processed by the SRA staff with the concurrence of at least two members of the DRB. 4) Landscaping a) Plans at a minimum of 1/8"=1'0" b) Details of all elements such as fences, benches, walls, etc. c) Materials specifications and samples -d) Species identification C. Post construction review - The DRB shall review all completed projects and may review any projects during the construction phase for conformity to the final approval submission notice. Failure to conform shall be sent to the SRA, the city building official, and to any other applicable agency for their action and for the record. D. The role of the DRB in relationship to the SRA Board - If and when the SRA Board believe that it may be in the best interest of the community to disregard the recommendation of the DRB for reasons broader or more complex than the design issues which the DRB have addressed, we request that they defer action until arrangements can be made for a member of the DRB to meet with the SRA Board. The reasons are twofold. First, the full import of the recommendations may not be fully clear or alternative solutions may not have been fully explored and, second, as a courtesy it will tend to reassure the DRB members that their efforts are not considered to be superfluous. E. Appoint a Design Advisory Committee to assist in such deliberations, said Committee to consist of not less than three nor more than four persons, qualified by training, experience, background and/or de- monstrated performance to advise on such matters. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY - October 1982 The existence of the DRB is mandated by the provisions of the Plen. L•s function is to review and p.epare appropriate recommendations for reference to the Authority "for concurrence and approval. " The buide"s for its review derive from the stated goals of the Plan and are essentially related to preservation of structures of historic and architectural value and the restoration o` neighborhood quality, economic viability, and functional capacity. The emphasis is on exterior environmental quality that is to streetscape and accordingly "local conditions and the historical importance of the town hall area and Derby Saiare viill be major considerations. " There are seven principal zones in the Heritage Plaza East l:'. R. areas, each with its own special characteristics which ought to be respected and adressed in the course of each review. 1 . The Derby Square/Front Street area: Federal style, formal setting of town hall; Front Street meandering; pedestrian scale. 2. Museum area: Intermediate scale; style juxtaposition 3. Essex mall: Commercial; style juxtaposition; intermediate scale; pedestrian 4. North area residential: Contemporary-picturesque; landmark focal; pedestrian, presently insular 5. Washington Street: Mixed scale; vehicular 6. New Derby Street: Factory lofts 7. Charter Street: Dominated by burial ground, scattered historic buildings, small scale Other areas are transitional and reflect overlapping characteristics. Of the seven zones, the Derby Square/Frent Street area is the most historically and architecturally significant since it represents the greatest concentration of buildings cnd spaces intact from Salem's most architecturally significant period and the only such grouping located in the downtown , and commercial in character and use. It is, however, relatively isolated. Its linkages therefore assume an inordinate importance. The second most important zone is the continuum of Essex mall and the museum zone (old Essex Street). This area is the heart of Salem and is, in fact, the linkage between the east and west historic residential areas. Its commercial importance and central position throughout Salem's history is expressed by its vigorous, if sometimes jarring, juxtapositions of style and scale. There are numerous significant individual buildings within the HPE crew upon which adverse impact would in turn adversely impact the zones in which they are located. Each plays an important role. 1 . Old town hall - Center piece of Derby Square 2. Peabody Museum - East India Marine Hall - Ceiier piece of museun area and East India Square 3. Salem Hardware - Relationship to town holt and Derby Square 4. 3-9 Derby Square - Relation to Derby Square - linkage from Essex mall 5. Lally's Shoe Store - Relationship to Peabody M.useum 6. Baker building - Relationship to Peabody Museum 7. Next to Baker building - Relationship to Pecbody Museum 8. Old Custom House - Linkage to water from (Derby Street) 9. Father Mathews - Impact on Essex Museum and museum erect 10. Colonial men's shop - Oldest commercial building 11 . Noumkeog Ban!< an^^_x (cast iron front) - unique Salem. More cc::' be added. Because of the chicken and egg relationship between preservation of architectural and historic values and the restoration of neighborhood quality on the one hand and economic viability and functional capacity on the other, it is the responsibility of the DRB to deal directly with this relotionship to address the tradeoffs in our reviews and recommendations. i i i ZZ41) r� I II .drJ SS / 'i M ( � i i E f r SALEM REDEVELOPrIENT AUTHORITI DESIGN REVIEI; BOARD Application =or Desi€n Avprovaal - OTHER THAN SIGNS . 1.
