Salem, MA 01970
Dear Mr. Spinale:
On April 5, 1985 at 9:30 a.m. , an inspection was made of the
single family dwelling located at 71 Columbus Ave. I noticed as that
time that a second dwelling unit had been put in, this was done without
any proper permits. This is a violation of the Massachusetts State
Building Code, Section 113-113.1 .
You are also in violation of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance
which requires a Variance from the Board of Appeal to convert a single
family dwelling into a two family dwelling in an R-1 zone.
You are hereby notified that you have thirty (30) days to dis-
continue using the second dwelling unit to to remove the kitchen
facility which was installed without any permits and without Board
of Appeal approval.
There are two (2) unregistered vehicles on this lot, there is
a police ordinance prohibiting any more than one (1 ) unregistered
vehicle on a lot without police approval.
If you have any questions or if you need any assistance please
feel free to contact this department.
Very truly yours,
Maurice M. Martineau

Dear Sir ,
I , Steven C. Phipps , owner of record at 65 Columbus Ave,
hereby request that the city of Salem investigate the impending
paving of the driveway a`t 71�Columbus-Avg , by property owner
John Spinale. Due to the narrow area ( 10 1/2 feet at one point) ,
there appears to be an intent to pave up to and over my property
line , a violation of section 7E of the building code, which states
that pavement must be set back 2 feet from property lines . Grading
of the driveway on June 13 , 1989 included the removal of the
corner lot line surveyor' s stake defining my property boundaries ,
as per a survey which was commissioned by me . It is also apparent
that Mr . Spinale will be unable to comply with the 12 feet required
minimum width for a driveway in said location: , because of the close
proximity of his house to my property line . Your assistance in
resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated .
Sincerely,
S�G
