Michael Sullivan
Members Absent: Paul Durand
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 one temporary A-Frame sign as designed and conditioned herein.
The DRB also voted to grant an exception to the maximum distance from the main entrance in which to sign may be
placed(Sign Ordinance,Section 4-60(g)(5))to allow the applicant to place the sign at the driveway to the property.
Referenced Plans and Documents
1. Sign application prepared by Nicholas Padovani,24 Norman Street,Apartment 5,Salem, MA 01970,dated
9/24/19.
2. Staff Comments dated 10/30/19.
Conditions of Approval
1. Number of Si•ns:Though the applicant has applied for two identical signs,one to be placed at each
driveway into the property,the Sign Ordinance does not allow for this;the applicant may only use one sign.
2. Temporary Sign:The sign is temporary in nature,being used for the sale of Christmas trees during the 2019
holiday season,an approximate 6-week timeframe. The A-Frame sign may not be repurposed for another
use without prior review from the Design Review Board.
3. Sign Design:The applicant shall remove the name and phone number from the sign and space out the text
appropriately.
Findings
1. The DRB reviewed the sign proposal and found that,once adjusted as described in Condition of Approval 3,
the proposed signage 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. Given the temporary nature of the business—selling Christmas trees—the Board found that waiving the 10-
foot maximum distance from the business was reasonable.
Signature of the ORB
By the signature below, I certify that this recommendation accurately reflects the actions of the Design Review
Board.
