282 DERBY STREET - SIGN PERMIT (2) 282 Derby Street
(Custom House Rotisserie Chicken)
Design Review Board Proposal
September 22, 2010
282 Derby Street Unit 2 (Custom House Rotisserie Chicken): Discussion and
vote on proposed signage
DRB Recommendation
At their meeting on September 22, 2010, the DRB voted to recommend approval
of the proposed signage at 282 Derby Street Unit 2 for Custom House Rotisserie
Chicken with the following conditions:
- The sign size shall be reduced to be no more than 12 square feet;
- The width shall not exceed 56'
- The lettering shall be reduced in size;
- The rule below "Take Out & Catering shall be eliminated;
- The "&" shall be shifted up; and
- A revised design of the sign shall be reviewed and approved by Glenn
Kennedy prior to the SRA meeting.
The DRB also recommended that the awning be removed.
Staff Comment
The applicant has revised the hanging sign proposal to conform to the DRB
conditions, and Glenn Kennedy recommends approval by the SRA.
At the DRB meeting, the applicant submitted a proposal for the valance portion of
the awning to be refaced with black material and white lettering. The DRB
discussed how that approach did not work with the awning.
More significantly, however, the DRB discussed at length how the existing
awning distracts for the Custom House Rotisserie Chicken sign and the adjacent.
Urbane Cyclist sign. The DRB noted that the awning is too large and does not fit
the context of the building. They said its removal would actually support more
business visibility and activity.
The Rotisserie Chicken applicant indicated he would prefer the awning not be
there and stated the landlord would like to keep it. The adjacent business, the
Urbane Cyclist, would also like the awning removed.
!c � )ajic.?IL
In a telephone conversation before the meeting, the landlord indicated to staff
that the awning was previously approved; however, staff is not able to locate a
record of that approval.
The DRB members have no recollection of the awning having been approved.
The members further commented that even if it had been approved, they do not
recommend perpetuating a mistake. Thus, they recommend the awning be
removed.
The applicant has yet to come to an agreement with the landlord regarding the
awning. The awning and awning signage is not included in the current
application to the SRA. Thus, approval of the awning and any awning signage
will need to be approved at a future date.
Original Proposal
The proposal (shown on plans dated September 15, 2010) consists of a carved
blade sign painted black with gold leaf, white, and orange lettering. The sign is
30" x 60" or 12.5 square feet. The sign includes three plastic resin replica
chickens.
The sign is proposed to project a total of 60" which is consistent with the City
Sign Ordinance. However, sign design guidelines in the Urban Renewal Areas
limit the projection to 56". If it desires, the DRB may recommend that the SRA
waive its guidelines.
Blade signs are limited to 12 square feet. The proposal exceeds this limit by '/z
square foot and must be reduced in order to be permitted.
Information on the awning was not submitted with the application and will be
brought to the meeting. The applicant indicated the existing awning text would be
replaced with new lettering.
The applicant indicated the existing bracket and lighting would be used.
Past SRA/DRB Actions
August 5, 2010: The DRB voted to continue this proposal.

1. Remove Green Domed Awning. It's too large for the space and actually int-
erupts the visual of their own sign.
2. Remove all the brackets and mounts that have been left behind.
3. Clean up the sidewalk, street front and mess around the post. If painted lines
are needed on the street, get them repainted.
4. Cleanup and straighten all the dome lights along the side of the building.
There a mess and could very easily be straightened up.

1. Restain the store front. The natural wood doors and windows is a very nice look
and consistent with others on the street.
2. Use existing signage size and paint frame edge black or whatever color works
with the new signage. Give the bracket a touch-up coat of paint. Use existing sign
lighting.
3. Paint the post black to be consistent with ballards at the end of the street, sign
brackets and lighting.
Now you have a clean storefront in which to apply signage and other.

1. If needed, use a smaller, simpler, solid color awning over the doorway. This will
give more prominence and visibility to the sign and still provide ample rain cover-
age to the doorway if needed,
2. Lettering could be added if handled properly. Maybe even just the street
number.

Natalie,
Attached is a revised sign from Brian @ AdPro that addresses the boards comments pertaining
to overall size dimension and type, size spacing and alignments.
If the rotisserie mechanism is applied, the board requests that all wiring and cabling be internal
with no additional external conduit.
The major outstanding issue with the submission is the awning and the boards desire to have it
removed.
Is there anyway to separate the sign from the awning from the sign as these are two separate
issue?
The sign is being produced by Brian at AdPro and he and the owner of CHR are looking to
move forward with the production of the sign.
The awning is an issue between the landlord and the tenant.
The tenant has no issue with removal of the awning, however they cannot afford to replace the
awning at this point and time and are looking to get the sign up immediately.
Please advise
Thank you.9Jk

Good morning Natalie,
This is actually the first I've seen of it. Nonetheless, it is much better—quite nice actually.
Yes, this has my approval assuming the size is 24" wide by 36" tall.
Another nice sign package for downtown Salem.
Cheers!gjk

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the update on Custom House Rotisserie. Attached is the proposal from Sweet
Anthem. They just submitted it yesterday and notified me that it had not been vetted
through you. I need to send out the SRA packets today, tomorrow morning at the very
latest. Would you let me know this afternoon whether or not the revised portable sign is
acceptable? 1 would like to include your recommendation in the SRA cover letters. If it is
not satisfactory,Sweet Anthem can still get approval for their hanghig sign, they will just
need to come back next month for the portable signage.
Thank you,
Natalie

Natalie, I just sent you a revised sign from AdPro about Custom House.
I have not heard anything from Sweet Anthem to date and I'm assuming they have

Glenn,
I was curious whether you were able to come to an amicable design with Custom House Rotisserie
and Sweet Anthem for their signage. I called Custom House Rotisserie last Thursday to remind
them to submit their sign packet,but haven't received anything. I also only received copies of the
sign proposal(no portable sign) from Sweet Anthem. It is ultimately their responsibility to send in
their information,but I was wondering where in the process they were.
Bestregards,
Natalie

Glenn and Natalie,
FYI. The business is allowed a total of 18 sf of signage. Maximum on the blade sign is 12 sf. If
awning text stays in the proposal, it needs to be included in the total area.

Since you're following up with the Sweet Anthem applicant on the portable sign, and Custom House

Rotisserie for their blade sign, I wanted you to have Natalie Lovett's contact information. Natalie will
be putting together the meeting packets for the SRA and can be reached at the number below.
It is the applicants' responsibility to get seven copies of the materials in. However, in case you need
to coordinate something, now you know how to get in touch with Natalie.
Thanks.
