Decision: At a regular meeting of the Design Review Board (DRB), upon a motion duly made
and seconded, it was unanimously voted to recommend approval of the projecting sign as
designed and conditioned herein.
Referenced Plans and Documents
1. Alex & Company proposal, prepared by Concept Signs, 57 Bridge Street, Salem, MA
01970, received on 419/19.
2. Staff Comments dated 4117/19.
Conditions of Approval
1. Consistency with Design/Plans: Should the applicant determine that the approved sign
design may not be completed as detailed in the plans referenced herein, he/she/they
shall return to the DRB to review proposed modifications prior to making any changes in
the field.
2. Sian Installation: The applicant shall install the wedge anchors for the sign bracket in the
granite lintel above the business' entryway while also ensuring that the bottom of the
sign is at least eight (8) feet from grade.
Findings
1. The DRB reviewed the sign proposal and found that the proposed projecting sign is
consistent with the standards and guidelines in the SRA Sign Manual regarding size,
scale, and color choice that provides contrast to allow for readability.
2. The size of the sign is modest, and its text is scaled for pedestrians and does not detract
from or obscure the existing architectural features of the building.
Signature of the DRB
By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the
Design Review Board.
