MODIFICATION TO APPROVED FACADE IMPROVEMENTS Salem 44 Redevelopment Authority Decision 285 Derby Street Small Project Review:Revision to Approved Facade Modifications Meeting Date: November 13, 2019 Members Present: Grace Napolitano,Chair, Gary Barrett, David Guarino, Dean Rubin Members Absent: Russell Vickers Decision: At a regular meeting of the Salem Redevelopment Authority(SRA), upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the proposed revisions to the previously-approved fagade improvements for 285 Derby Street as designed and conditioned herein. Referenced Plans and Documents 1. Plan Set titled '285 Derby Street Small Project Design Submission', prepared by Winter Street Architects, Inc., 27 Congress Street,Suite 201,Salem, MA 01970, dated 4/12/19, revised to 10/24/19. 2. Staff Comments dated 11/7/19. Condition of Approval 1. Consistency with Approved Design/Plans:Should the applicant determine that the restoration project may not be completed as presented and conditioned herein, he/she/they shall return to the DRB to review proposed modifications prior to making any changes in the field. Findings 1. Modest Revision to Previously-Approved Modifications:The proposal represents a modest revision to the approved project. The applicant is seeking to only change the functionality of the window space by allowing the windows to fully open and to allow access/egress from the park to the commercial space. There will be no change to the existing brick fagade. 2. Relationship with 289 Derby Street:The project strengthens the relationship between the interior retail space at 285 Derby and the abutting public park at 289 Derby Street. The modification will not only be beneficial to the retail tenant but will also help to further activate Fortin Park. 2. Retention of the Existing Facade:The applicant continues to retain much of the existing architectural elements of the fagade. The elements that are proposed for modification will result in a more retail- oriented and welcoming entry point. Additionally,since the footprint of the structure is not changing, the relationship between the subject property and the neighboring ones will remain consistent. 3. Removing Barriers to Access:The revisions do not alter the applicant's original plans to remove barriers to access by removing the need for access ramps into the space through the removal of the slab floor and reconstructing it at grade. This also contributes to a more welcoming, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. Signature of the Salem Redevelopment Authority By a si nat a below, I certify that this decision accurately reflects the actions of the SRA. r I Tom Daniel,AICP Date Executive Director Salem ® Redevelopment Authorit Design Review Board Recommendation 285 Derby Street Small Project Review:Revision to Approved Facade Modifications Meeting Date: November 6, 2019 Members Present: Helen Sides,Vice-Chair, David,Jaquith,Glenn Kennedy,Catherine Miller, Marc Perras, J.
