Statement of Grounds
I am writing this letter in regards to our special permit request to add an additional two units to the
property located at 70 Proctor St. in Salem.
I strongly believe these improvements will be a great factor to the neighborhood and the city. The
property will be renovated to all modern apartments with a beautiful layout including new appliances,
countertops, cabinetry and materials. The property will be landscaped and add a clean fresh look to the
neighborhood. The city of Salem is growing and more people are moving to the area, I believe we need
more housing to fulfill the demand.
These improvements will not affect traffic flow or safety as we will have proper parking for each unit as
well as cater to a nurse/staff/travel nurse at the Salem hospital as tenants which are a quick walk down
the street.
We will make sure that everything is done professionally, legally; permitting and that it would not affect
any neighbors, drainage, etc.
There will be no impacts to the natural environment. We will not be removing any trees, but we will add
beautiful landscaping, flowers, etc.
These improvements will improve the neighborhood character. There are some homes on the street
that are not properly cared for and are not aesthetically eye catching. I believe that if every property
owner did their part in taking care of their property whether it is renovations or as simple as cleaning up
the front yard and planting some flowers, everyone would benefit and it would add to the beauty and
charm of the city.
