Design Review Board Recommendation
May 24, 2017
302 Essex Street, Suite A (Witch City Wicks): Discussion and vote on proposed
installation of signage and removal of existing sign band.
Recommendation
At its meeting on May 24, 2017 the Design Review Board voted unanimously (7-0) to
recommend approval of the proposed installation of signage and removal of an existing
sign band at 302 Essex Street, Suite B (Witch City Wicks) as presented. The bracket
for the signage shall be mounted at the same height/level as the sign bracket for Suite B
at the same address.
Proposal
The applicant seeks to install a 36" x 26" PVC square blade sign mounted on a black
metal bracket with painted white typeface and design against a black background. The
letters will be raised and there will also be a small green leaf design above the typeface.
This applicant will be located in the unit shown on the right side of the two storefronts.
Each existing sign band above the storefronts will be removed.
Staff Comment
I have expressed to this applicant that her application is lacking some detail that we
would want to see:
1.) How high will the bottom of the sign be from the ground?
2.) Method of attachment to the bracket?
3.) Color photoshopped perspective showing where the sign will hang.
4.) Any details on window signage.
In an effort to enable the applicant to move ahead with planning for the store I had her
placed on the agenda, but requested that more information be provided to the Board at
the meeting.

302A Essex St.
Salem,MA 01970
To whom it may concern,
My name is Liz Frazier,proprietor of Witch City Wicks, LLC. After many years of being a
mostly online-focussed business,I am thrilled to finally opening a brick and mortar candle & gift
shop in downtown Salem. We are excited to add to the vibrancy of Salem's downtown area and
to contribute to the growing experience by bringing our shop to the 300 block of Essex St.
While looking for a company to produce high-quality signage,we sought out Concept Signs,
based on Ken's extensive portfolio,to create this striking,dimensional sign for our retail
location. Our goal was to create an appealing visual that connects landmarks, like the Witch
House,to the retail shops further down Essex St.
Concept Signs has advised us to remove the existing belt signs on the face of the building in
order to create a hanging blade sign over the main pedestrian door. This signage is keeping in
line with the visual precedence set by other businesses along Essex St. and to assure our hanging
sign fits the height requirements once installed.
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal.
