Re 2 Commercial Street/ Salem/MA/01970
Dear Mr. O'Rourke,
This office received a complaint, April 7, 2014, alleging that someone is living hn a
`camper' on the 2 Commercial Street property known as Bill's Auto Clinic.
While visiting the site later that day, I observed a motorized camper parked toward the
rear of the lot at 2 Commercial Street. There was evidence of a wood or pellet stove
inside the camper. I was informed that the Night Driver routinely uses the trailer from
approximately 5:00 pin to 8:00 am while waiting for service requests.
The City of Salem Zoning Ordinance 6.2.1 specifically prohibits this type of use
within the City of Salem. See below:
6.2 TRAILERS*
6.2.1 General. No person shall park store or occupy a trailer for living or business purposes
within the City of Salem, except:
1. The owner of residential premises may permit occupancy of such premises by
nonpaying guests using a trailer for a period not to exceed twenty (20) days. A special
permit for this purpose must be obtained from the Building Commissioner before the land
can he so occupied. No more than one (1) trailer is permitted with any one (I) residence
or lot.
2. A temporary office incidental to construction on or development of the premises
on which the trailer is located shall be permitted.
6.2.2 Connection Prohibited. In neither case enumerated in Section 6.2.1 shall the trailer be
connected to public water or sewer facilities. Trailers used as temporary construction offices
may be connected to telephone and electric facilities.

the following provisions:
1. Such stored trailers shall not be used for living occupancy, except as stipulated in

2. Trailers shall not be stored in any front yard. If stored in any side or rear year, the
trailer shall not be placed closer than ten (10) feet from any lot line or within five (5) feet

trailer, "pickup coach," "pickup camper," "motorized camper," tent trailer," "mobile home,"
etc., or terms of similar import shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as the term

The trailer must be vacated immediately. You are hereby directed to ensure that there is no
further use of the motor/camper for business or living purposes, in compliance with the City
of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
