Salem ® Redevelopment Authority S .PAA Salem Redevelopment Authority Decision L May 11, 2016 50 St. Peter Street (Bit Bar Salem): Discussion and vote on proposed installation of signage SRA Decision At its meeting on May 11, 2016 the SRA voted unanimously(5-0)to approve the proposed installation of signage at 50 St. Peter Street(Bit Bar Salem) as recommended by the Design Review Board and subject to the applicant receiving the required relief by the City's Zoning Board of Appeals for the height of the proposed signage. Recommendation At its meeting on May 10, 2016 the Design Review Board voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval of the installation of signage at 50 St. Peter Street, conditional upon signs 1 and 2 (as shown in the materials dated May 9, 2016) being lowered slightly, so that the bottom of each sign be in-line or just above the sills of the second floor windows, and conditional upon proper relief being granted by the City's Zoning Board of Appeals. Staff Comments for May 11, 2016 SRA Meeting The DRB, during its deliberations, asked that the applicant work with Board Member Glenn Kennedy on verifying appropriate sizes for signage, as well as potential design revisions. With respect to size, Board Members felt as though some or all of the signs were fairly large in scale; with respect to design, the Members expressed concern with readability. The enclosed materials are part of the applicant's original packet and are intended to provide the SRA with an idea of what is being requested. I expect that I will have a new packet of updated materials to provide the SRA prior to or at its meeting on May 11`h, as well as a formal recommendation from the DRB; this project is being presented to the DRB again at its special meeting a night before the SRA regular meeting (on May 10th) Lastly, the applicant will be before the ZBA on May 18th to seek a variance for relief of how high on the building's fagade signage may be placed. I recommend that any approval by the SRA be conditional upon granting of a ZBA variance for height(please see additional details on this issue in the below "staff comments" section for the DRB meeting. Proposal Salem ® Redevelopment Authority The applicant proposes a series of four (4) signs placed at varying locations, to include: • two (2) blade signs (one that will be mounted perpendicular to Bridge Street; close to the entrance; and the other in a vertical format along the St. Peter Street walking path) • a surface sign facing Bridge Street; and • a bronze plaque directional sign mounted to a pillar along St. Peter Street The two blade signs and the surface sign will be made of metal with raised stamped metal letters that will be halo-lit from behind. More details on the proposal are enclosed for your review. Staff Comments for April 27, 2016 DRB Meeting I inquired with the applicant as to whether an existing sign post that was installed as part of the "Great Escape" restaurant project along Bridge Street would be used. He indicated that there are no plans to use the sign post. That being the case, the Board may want to consider conditioning, or at least encouraging, the removal of the sign post. The proposal generally meets the City's Sign Ordinance and Design Guidelines, in terms of square footage allowance, lighting, materials, etc. That said, the following is language from the City's Sign Ordinance, which raises issues with what is being proposed (my comments continue after the reference): Sec. 4-51. - On-premises signs in nonresidential districts. (a) The following on-premises signs in nonresidential districts are permitted: A wall sign attached parallel to a building which projects no more than 15 inches from the building surface, provided that the top of such sign is no higher than whichever of the following is lowest: a. Twenty-five feet above sidewalk or finish grade; b. The top of the sills of the first level of windows above the first story; or c. The height of the building at the building line. A sign attached at right angles to a building, provided that such sign has no more than two faces and.- a. nd:a. There is no more than one such sign for each entrance door to a business establishment, b. It projects no more than five feet from the building; c. The sign advertises a use which occupies at least 18 feet of sign frontage; r Salem Redevelopment ® Authority d. The bottom of the sign is at least ten feet from grade and its top is no higher than whichever of the following is lowest: 1. Twenty-five feet above sidewalk or finish grade; 2. The top of the sills of the first level of windows above the first story; or 3. The height of the building at the building line; e. The area of the sign shall not exceed 24 square feet on either side, except that an additional ten square feet on each face is allowed for a sign which incorporates a public service message device such as a time and temperature sign; and f. There are no exposed guy wires or turnbuckles. My concerns are the following: 1.) That both the blade signs and the surface sign are higher than what the code allows for. That being said, both the Great Escape and A&B restaurant establishments, which previously occupied this location, had signage proposals that exceeded these standards. You'll note that the applicant provides a "previous signs" page toward the back of the package you have received that shows signage that is above the tops of second floor window sills and in the case of the Great Escape, more than one blade sign. I will determine whether this proposal also requires a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. I recommend that the Board, in its motion, condition any approval of the project as shown, upon also seeking and receiving any variances, if necessary. coNWT�o'c CITY OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS `_. � BOARD OF APPEAL y�H�vcd:'"�� MINE 519 120 WASHINGTON STREET*SALEM,MASSACHUSETTS 01 978+& o MMBERLEY DRISCOLL TELE:978745-9595♦ FAX:978-740-9946 MAYOR r r" r- June 1, 2016 Decision City of Salem Board of Appeals co Petition of GIDEON COLTOF (BIT BAR) seeking a Variance per Sec. 4-5.1 On-Premf'ds Signs in Nonresidential Districts of the Salem Code of Ordinances, to allow the petitioner to install signs that are above the top of the sills of the first level of windows above the fust story at the property of 50 ST. PETER STREET (Map 35 Lot 179)(B-5 Zoning District). A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on May 18, 2016 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11. The hearing was closed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair),Jimmy Tsitsinos, Mike Duffy,Tom Watkins,Paul Viccica (alternate). The Petitioner seeks a Variance of the provisions of Sec. 4-5.1 On- Premises Signs in Nonresidential Districts of the Salem Code of Ordinances to allow the petitioner to install signs that are above the top of the sills of the fust level of windows above the first story. Statements of fact: i 1. In the petition date-stamped April 26, 2016, the Petitioner requested a Variance of the provisions of Sec. 4-5.1 On- Premises Signs in Nonresidential Districts of the Salem Code of Ordinances to allow the petitioner to install signs that are above the top of the sills of the first level of windows above the first story. i 2. Steven Hall and Gideon Coltof,of Bit Bar,presents the petition. 3. Bit Bar is located on the first floor of the Old Salem Jail. The petitioners are proposing to install signage above the maximum height allowed. Specifically, the Sign Ordinance of Sec 4-5.1 a.4 and d.2 state that the signs may not be higher than the top of the sills of the first level of windows above the fust story. 4. The proposed signage calls for the highest point of the tallest sign to align with bottom sills of the second story. 5. The petitioners testify that the restaurant location, building scale, and mass of the Old Jail are significantly greater than other buildings in the area that contain retailers. Further the building is physically set back about 150 feet from fast moving traffic on Bridge Street and Church Street. 6. The Sign Ordinance states that "the bottom of the sign is at least ten (10) feet from grade and its top is no higher than whichever of the following is lowest: ...the top of the sills of the fust level of windows above the first story..." If the literal enforcement of the sign ordinance were applied, it would only allow the petitioner to have signs that are two (2) feet tall. City of Salem Board of Appeals June 1,2016 Project:283 Rear Derby Street Page 2 of 3 7. The petitioners testify that two (2) feet tall signs are not sufficient in relation to the location, building scale,building mass and location. 8. There are a total of three (3) signs proposed for this location including two (2) blade signs and one (1) wall mounted sign. 9. The signage has been reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and Salem Redevelopment Authority. 10. The requested relief,if granted,would allow the petitioner to install signs that are above the top of the sills of the first level of windows above the fust story signage for this business located at the rear of the property. 11. At the public bearing,no members of the public spoke in favor or opposition to the petition. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, makes the following findings: Findings Sign Variance: 1. Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land, building, or structure involved is that the building scale, and mass of the Old Jail are significantly greater than other buildings in the area that contain retailers. Further the building is physically set back about 150 feet from fast moving traffic on Bridge Street and Church Street. 2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would create a substantial hardship to the applicant as the Ordinance the literal enforcement of the sign ordinance were applied, it would only allow the petitioner to have signs that are two (2) feet tall on a large building setback from the street. 3. The desired relief may not be granted without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or purpose of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance. On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings,the Salem Board of Appeals voted five (5)in favor (Peter A.Copelas (Vice-Chair),Jimmy Tsitsinos,Mike Duffy,Tom Watkins, Paul Viccica (alternate) and none (0) opposed, to approve the requested Variance to allow signage at the property subject to the following eight (8) standard terms, conditions and safeguards: Standard: 1.
