I have received the documents and find that they do not conform to the requirements of 780 CMR. Reference is made to the provisions of Article 705.3 Openings. One sidewall of the structure is at a fire separation distance of zero feet. No openings are allowed in such walls. I recommend bringing this issue before the State Building Appeals Board. Sinc y, Thomas St. Pierre Building Commissioner Director of Public Property WINTER STREET ARCHITECTS, INC. -Am. 17 April 4, 2005 STATE BOARD OF BUILDING REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS John W. McCormack Building One Ashburton Place—Room 1301 Boston, MA 02108 Board of Appeals: We are requesting relief from the building regulations described in 780 CMR—Sixth Edition 705.3 Openings for a building renovation project at 7 Crombie, Salem, MA. Currently,the building is a two story structure with a homeless shelter on the first floor and a church assembly space on the second.There are a number of windows existing on the alley side of the structure. The proposed construction includes 2 stones of condominiums with 2 level units on the second floor making the building three stories. The design team proposes to keep existing openings and add three new windows towards the rear of the building to provide ventilation and light to some of the proposed condominium units. The attached drawing shows the elevation for which relief is requested. We are offering the installation of additional sprinkler heads in the locations of these openings in order for them to be protected. We would like to ask you to consider this request, since it would result in a better, yet safe building. Since I , Troy A.

We are presently operating under a building permit which excludes permission to proceed with the second floor unit#9 until the Zoning Board of Appeals approves our application for 3 additional windows for that unit. However, it is imperative that we proceed with our construction schedule and have modified our plans to provide a balcony for this unit which has doors and sidelites that are 5'back from the property line and will satisfy our environmental requirement for light and air in that unit. You will notice that the plans and elevations that accompany this letter indicate 2 windows on either side of -- _— -the balcon�We intend-to—proceed with our application with the Zoning Board of Appeal and if we are permitted to do so will install these windows.

The hearing was opened up and the interested parties were sworn in as required. At that time the Board asked if you were aware if the building official and the opposing party were here to sit in on the hearing. It was stated that you did not see them. The board also asked if your neighbor/abutter had any issues with your appeal request. It was stated that they had no issues and were in favor of your request. From the testimony the board heard that morning and the fact that nobody was there to testify against your request they voted to grant your variance and the hearing was closed. A short time later, Assistant Building Inspector, Joseph Barbeau appeared with Mr. Mike McGinn of 12 Winter Street, Merrimac. They notified the Board that not only had they been waiting in another room for the hearing to start but also that you were aware they were there because they had a conversation with you and the man you were representing. The board then asked Mr. McGinn if he was in favor of us granting your appeal like it was stated earlier from the testimony heard and he stated absolutely not. The board at that time had a discussion about what had transpired and decided that they had no other alternative but to rescind their original verbal decision and to re-open the case. When the new date has been decided you will receive in the mail the date and time to re-appear for the new hearing. The building inspector as well as the abutter both has the right to provide testimony in this appeal and that will be done at the new hearing. Please allow a few weeks before you receive a new hearing date. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 617-727-3200 ext. 25209. Thank you for your attention to this matter. S' erely, Q,4tutt �tXty -) atricia Barry Board of Appeals Program Manager c.c. T. St. Pierre M. McGinn File i 01/17/06 11.: 56 FAX 9787413415 TQGF REAL ESTATE 2004 yi s3 .S[ i Page 2 S The purpose of my letter is to advise you that Mr. McGinn misrepresented the facts concerning his use of his building while testifying at your Dec. 8 hearing, as follows: 1. Mr. McGinn stated to you that my client's construction would obstruct f' emergency egress from the second-floor windows of bedrooms on that side of his building. I have been informed that the Board specifically asked Mr. McGinn if these rooms in his building were in fact currently used as bedrooms, and he stated that they ; were. 2. Mr_ McGinn also testified to you that there was no other second means of j emergency egress from these bedrooms. Both of these statements were, and still are,untrue. 1 Your Board's first hearing on my client's application was conducted on k Sept. 8, 2005. Mr. McGinn addressed you that day, and was well-aware at that time of the details of our construction. It was not until almost two weeks later, on Sept. 21, 2005 r that Mr. McGinn filed an application with the Salem Building Department for a permit for work which he described as "to add two bedrooms to two separate apartments (two total)." Mr. McGinn identified no architect, and identified himself as the person who j would do the work(Ex. 1). zt t: Mr. McGinn has not performed the work to convert these rooms to bedrooms, and, in fact, on Dec. 12, 2005 the Salem Building Department issued a "Stop Work i; Order"to prevent him from doing such work, as well as a "Required Inspection Notice" (Ex. 2 &3). The Stop Work Order remains in effect at this time. ' These facts make it clear that Mr. McGinn's statements to your Board at the s Dec. 8, 2005 hearing that these rooms were being used as bedrooms were not true. A second apparent misrepresentation that Mr. McGinn made to your Board was xl that his windows would provide the only secondary means of emergency egress from the r' so-called "bedrooms". Actually, one or more of these rooms actually has secondary } means of egress other than the windows. 3 In conclusion, the actual pertinent facts are that my client has been working with the benefit of all necessary permits and approvals to construct its project. My client's y request to your Board for a waiver to install two windows on the South side of our project :t 1 ,i 't l y y,f r fM 005 01/17/06 11: 6 FAX 9787913915 TRGF REAL ESTATE '.j r;- '6 s Page 3 I has no direct impact on Mr. McGinn at all,but his misrepresentations have diverted your Board's attention from the specific merits of that issue, and interfered with and delayed our construction. z Now that your inspectors have competed their site visit, I respectfully request that your Board schedule a final vote on my client's application for approval of installation of c windows on the South side of its building.

The project is an existing ntasoutyChurch baildjtng(1827) tient is being converted to 17 condotttiaiunt units. The issue that Winter Street Architects is addressing concerns the fact that the.south side of the builditk is 1'-6"imide the property line. Salem Zoning requires that side yard setbacks be a minimum of 5' wide. Any building face this close to a property line is limited in window area. flowever,given the age of the building and the obvious hardship to con form to the present setback requirement(its a change of use application), we have approved the retention of all existing Ivindovs on the south elevation contingent upon afire suppression sv,stetn (sprinklers)immediately above each window opening. Winter Street Architects are requesting a variance for the addition of 3 new Ivindovs only. These new windows would also be required to be included within the same fire suppression sys�t / Thomas J.

The present occupancy limit of 34-beds, (without waivers) was set in 1987, after a lengthy, expensive and contentious, Board of Appeal process at the State level which allowed an increase from the original 16-beds. We have tolerated this situation, Including the City's attandant downward spiral, since then and have resigned ourselves to co-exist with this vision of Salem. This isn't a"NI MBY" issue. It is a"we have our 34", how many do you have? issue. And we refuse to accept any more. Before the critics start pounding their chests, they can offer to take up the slack. Toleration is one thing, abusing neighborhood and citizen's rights are another. Furthermore, we had to find out about the Increase from 34-beds to 52-beds via the newspaper, without benefit of an abutters notification or a hearing before the Board of Appeal. This is not what we would expect, either from our own City government or the professionals employed by a State agency. As recently as last week, upon querying City staff about"green-lighting" another inspection permit, that would re-authorize this year's capacity increase, I was not told the truth. (bad idea!) I was told that it hadn't been issued yet; and that no increase (days? or beds?) would be granted. If this is so: how could your agency be in possession of such a certificate,that runs counter to these statements, from November 1, 1999 to November 1, 2,000? Additionally, the up-creep from a request for"Emergency Winterbeds for Homeless Individuals from a maximum of 165 days ($30,60 to this year's 199-days ($35,820), leads us to believe that, as the function of the Crombie Street Church devolves from its religious role, that there will be continuous efforts to further establish a higher and higher presence in Salem, of services for the State's wandering homeless. This is a very sensitive issue in Downtown Salem for those of us who care about the City's destiny and who pay the taxes, which support this operation as well as the City. It was and is being handled in a very in-sensitive manner. At some point you wil have to remove the mask from this charade and formally declare this operation a State agency,subject to allot the rules regulations,true costs and penalties, such a declaration would demand. Bondugo ?978.7445555 Mo1/18/2000 G524 PM X313 Now that I have expressed my concern: Let me offer you a solution that might help you address this situation. Week after week for the past 12-years, I have observed legions of volunteers streaming across the Salem City line from Gordon-Conwell College, in Wenharri, from St. Michael's Church in Marblehead and other locales. Since these groups have demonstrated such unwavering passion to support this type of activity: Why make them come all the way to Salem? Maybe you could have them contribute the gas money they would save and encourage them to open their own "little" 10 or 20 bed shelter in the middle of those fine communities. Put the question to them. Let's see what they say. Who will be the first to sign up?Then you can re-direct the $35k that Salem, would have received to these bastions of social concern. They certainly can afford to put their money where their mouth is. Let me know what you think.

This firm represents Bluestone Alley, LLC, the developer of the above-captioned property. This developer has been proceeding with its project with the benefit of all necessary permits and approvals, including, after all legally required notices and ' hearings, approvals by both the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the Salem Planning Board, and under a building permit issued by Salem Building Inspector. My partner, Scott Grover and representatives the project architect, Winter Street 1` qt Architects, appeared before your Board on Dec. 8, 2005 to continue a hearing on their ' application for a building code waiver to allow them to install two windows along the 3 South wall of their structure. This issue was not decided at the hearing because one l Michael McGinn, the owner of a structure closely abutting the Westerly side of my ' " client's property, appeared and raised objections to the construction abutting his land, :t claiming that my client's construction would obstruct the emergency egress from two second-floor bedrooms in his building. Your Board was so concerned by this assertion that the decision was delayed, so that your inspectors could make a site visit to evaluate the situation. Your inspectors Paul Wakem and John McCarthy did conduct that site f inspection on Jan. 12,2006.

In accordance with 780 CMR 122.3, Appellant requests that the Board grant a variance from 780 CMR 705.3 of the Massachusetts State Building Code ("MSBC") regarding 7 Crombie Street, Salem, MA. In accordance with MGL c. 30A, §§ 10 and 11; MGL c. 143, §100; 801 CMR 1.02 et. Seq.; and 780 CMR 122.3.4,the Board convened a public hearing on September 7, 2006 where all interested parties were provided with an opportunity to testify and present evidence to the Board. Findings of fact 1. The subject property is a seventeen unit condominium building located at 7 Crombie Street, Salem, MA. 2. Several window opening are located on the south side of the building. 3. The south side of the building is 1' 6" inside the property line. 4. Salem zoning requires a side yard to have a five foot minimum set back from the property line. As a result the number of window openings on the south side of the subject property are limited.. This is a concise version of the Board's decision. You may request a full written decision within 30 days of the date of this decision. Requests must be in writing and addressed to: Department of Public Safety, State Building Code Appeals Board, Program Coordinator, One Ashburton Place,Room 1301,Boston, MA 02108. 5. As a compliance alternative the Salem Building Commissioner allowed the owner of the subject property to install exterior sprinkler heads immediately above each window opening. 6. The Appellant seeks a variance from 780 CMR 705.3 in order to install two new window openings on the south side of the building in the new second story addition to the subject property. 7. The Appellant originally sought a variance from 780 CMR 705.3 to install three new window openings but as a result of the Appellant increasing the property set back to approximately five feet one window opening was removed from this appeal. 8. Exterior sprinkler heads will be installed above the two new window openings. Discussion A motion was made to GRANT the Appellant's request for a variance from 780 CMR 703.5 based upon the fact that there is a zoning requirement for a five foot setback minimum from the property line. There is nothing currently constructed behind the subject property and nothing should be constructed within five feet of the rear property line. The exterior window sprinklers must be installed to provide additional protection for the two new window openings. Motion carried 3-0. Conclusion The Appellant's request for variance from 780 CMR 703.5 of the MSBC is GRANTED. SO ORDERED. HARRY SMITH JA 'OB NUNNEMACHER Ct Y!AU iL BRIAN GALE 2 DATED: November 22, 2006 In accordance with MG.L. c. 30A § 14, any person aggrieved by this decision may appeal to the Superior Court within 30 days after the date of this decision. 3
