Re: 17 Central Street (Old Salem Police Station)
Dear Ms. Duncan:
This office represents ARJOD, Inc. , owners of the property at
17 Central Street (hereinafter "Red's") , and abutters to the Old
Salem Police Station development. Red's operates a restaurant at
15 Central Street and, during the permitting and planning phases of
the police station redevelopment, entered into an agreement with
the developers that contemplated the placement of Red' s dumpster
onto the development site at 17 Central Street. This Agreement was
reduced to writing, recorded at the Essex South Registry of Deeds,
and made a condition of both the Planning Board and SRA approvals
of the development of 17 Central Street. A plan, produced by the
developers, was referenced and incorporated into the Agreement,
showing the specific placement of the dumpster on the site. I have
attached copies of the Planning Board Site Plan Review Decision
dated July 3 , 2002 , the Agreement dated August 29 , 2003, and the
Plan dated October 10, 2001, prepared by Neshamkin French
Architects, Inc. (the "Plan") , for your convenience.
While the parties have had discussions over the past few
months concerning the dumpster relocation, there is a problem with
adequate truck access through the site to service the dumpster.
Our concern is that virtually all of the units have been sold, the
project is nearing completion, and the dumpster has yet to be
placed on the site. While the developers have acknowledged the
dumpster issue, no resolution has yet been forthcoming. The City
is in the position to enforce the conditions to ensure compliance
with the Decision and the Plan.
Lynn Goonin Duncan, AICP, Director
September 27 , 2005
Page 2
Red' s has indicated that it would entertain any reasonable
solution which can address the condition that allows open and
continuous access for the use of the dumpster on the Development
Site. Your thoughts on this are welcomed and appreciated.
Meanwhile, my client hereby requests that the Planning
Department and SRA enforce the conditions of the Decision, and that
the final occupancy permits not be issued unless and until all
conditions of the Site Plan Review Decision and the SRA decisions
specifically regarding the dumpster relocation onto 17 Central
Street, as shown on the Plan, are met.
We are ready to work with both the City and the developer to
resolve this matter.
derely,
Correnti
