MEMORANDUM
TO: Zoning Board of Appeals Members
FROM: Amy Lash, Staff Planner
DATE: November 7, 2007
RE: Meeting Agenda- November 14, 2007
Hello Board Members,
The November 14th meeting will take place in the medium size conference room, Room 314.
The Salem Redevelopment Authority has a regularly schedule meeting that night that will be
taking place in 313.
Please find included in your packet the following:
➢ Planner's Memo
➢ Agenda
➢ Minutes of October 17, 2007
➢ Petitions and Materials for Agenda Items
➢ Revised Application Package for Discussion
Notes on Agenda Items:
10 Larchmont
The petitioner is requesting a variance from the number of stories allowed (2 1/2) to allow for a
third floor shed dormer. The residence has a side-gabled roof. A dormer, almost the width of
the roof is proposed for the rear side.
171 Boston Street
The petitioner is requesting to appeal the Building Inspector's decision to deny a sign permit for
All Start Collision located at 171 Boston Street.
The proposed 25 foot tall, internally illuminated freestanding sign is located in an Entrance
Corridor. The Entrance Corridor Overlay District Ordinance states that the size of all signage
may be reduced to half the size allowed in the underlying zone. At the applicant's property, the
underlying zone allows 25 foot tall freestanding sign and the Entrance Corridor Ordinance
allows limiting the sign height to 12.5 feet. For all signs located within an Entrance Corridor, the
Department of Planning staff works with applicants to determine if there is a strong rationale to
permit a sign larger than half the height allowed in the underlying zone and to ensure that,
where reasonable, the proposed sign follows the recommendations Salem Commercial Design
Guidelines. The Commercial Design Guidelines recommend that all freestanding signs be
externally illuminated.
In response to the applicant's concern that a 12.5 foot tall sign would not be visible to passing
drivers, DPCD informed the applicant that an externally illuminated freestanding sign no taller
than the business's roof could be permitted. A sign no taller than the roof would be
approximately 20 feet above grade. The Sign Permit was denied after the applicant chose not to
submit a revised application for a sign lower than the business's roof and illuminated externally.
The applicant initially applied for a Sign Permit in May of 2007. At this time, an illegal sign was
located on the on the property's fence and the applicant was informed that their application
could not be considered until the illegal sign was removed. In June of 2007, the applicant
informed the Department of Planning that the illegal sign had been removed and DPCD staff
began working with the applicant to revise the proposed sign to meet the Entrance Corridor
Ordinance.
DPCD also invested both staff time and Storefront Improvement Program funds in the signage
at 171 Boston Street in 2003. Although several sign design options and a three-dimensional
rendering of the building were created by DPCD's design consultant, the property owner choose
not to move forward with permitting any of these sign designs. When Storefront Improvement
Program funds have been invested in design, it is DPCD's preference to utilize this design when
the applicant chooses to move forward with improvements to their property. In 2007, DPCD
provided the applicant's sign designer with a copy of the 2003 designs but the proposed sign
does not incorporate the design work completed in 2003.
The DPCD advises the Building Inspector on sign permits and for the reasons described above
does not recommend the petitioner's request to over turn the decision of the Building Inspector
to allow the sign to be permitted as proposed.
Revised Board of Appeals Package
The Board did not have time in October to discuss the revised application package. Since you
last saw it, I have incorporated Rebecca's comments about plan requirements. You will find the
latest version included in your packet. We can use this light agenda to discuss any other
changes you would like to make, and then take a vote to officially start using this new package.

RE: Denial of Sign Permit-171 Boston Street—All Star Collision Center
Dear Mr. Cucurull,
I tegret to inform you that this department has denied the sign application that you submitted for
review on May 24, 2007 to erect a sign at the above referenced property. The Salem Entrance
Corridor Overlay District §S-3-e-3 states that, "the Sign Review Committee shall be allowed to limit
the size of all signs within the Entrance Corridor Overlay District to one-half the size which is
allowed in the underlying zone." At 171 Boston Street, a free standing sign 12'-6" in height is
permitted.Your proposed sign is 25'-0"in height and we have therefore denied your application.
Additionally, the City of Salem Commercial Design Guidelines state that internally illuminated box signs
are not recommended.Your proposed sign is internally illuminated and therefore in conflict with the
Commercial Design Guidelines.
Should you want to appeal this decision, you must file for a variance with the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
Sincerely,
Thomas St. Pierre
Building Commissioner
