Design Review Board Proposal
August 28, 2013
260 Essex Street (Advanced Dental Care): Discussion of proposed signage
Proposal for August 28 DRB Meeting
Included in this proposal are pictures of existing conditions, as well as proposed
signage. The applicant proposes to hang two internally illuminated box signs inside
his storefront windows — 21.11" x 48" each (a little over 7 sq/ft each in total). The
applicant also seeks to have a window decal above his door that would be 13" x 88"
(8 sq/ft).
Fonts and/or colors are not specifically called out. Signage appears to have mixtures
of white, blue (different shades), pink, yellow, and some black for font.
Staff Comment
In terms of square footage, the signage complies with the City's sign ordinance.
The applicant hung all of the signage proposed here prior to seeking DRB and SRA
approval, nor did the applicant file a sign application permit with the City. Upon
noticing this, enforcement action was taken and the applicant agreed to come before
the DRB and ultimately SRA to seek approval.
The City's Design Guidelines discourages the use of internally illuminated signage.
The City tends not to approve signage that contains phone numbers and/or web
pages. The DRB may also feel that too many colors are being used in these signs.

To whom it may concern,
I apologize if have caused any problems or did something wrong. I just replaced
the old broken signs inside my office. I have had my dental office in Salem since 1951.
The signs aren't attached to the walls of the building in any way. I simply replaced the old
broken neon signs that were hanging inside the office (for over 25-30 years!) with the
exact same size signs that were placed in the exact same spot inside the office. Again
these signs are completely inside the office and not on the building so I am a little
confused. There is nothing to build or erect. I can move them further into the office if that
helps. I can try_ to get the old broken neon signs back even though they look horrible if
that is what you want me to do. Again 1 apologize but please try to work with me. I paid
$4,000 for the signs. As I stated before, I have been in downtown Salem for over 32
years!
Unfortunately, i am never in Salem on Thursday's however i can be available by
phone at your convenience on Thursday evenings.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Corben

f This is the business across the street. They have many, many
posters, booklets, flags, banners, literally attached to the
windows for indefinite periods of time since they moved
into their space. They also have large windows and models
of boats, pictures etc. that are also visible from the street.
%. - Most of these are not temporary in nature.
