In relation to 4 Valley Street, I wish to advise you that Mr. and Mrs . Defranzo acquired title to this property on November 29, 1957 . The square footage of this lot is 6,500 square feet. On August 27 , 1980, Mr. and Mrs . Defranzo acquired title to the abutting property which also is 6,500 square feet. Because this was held in common ownership for five or more years, the lot is no longer considered to be grandfathered and it would be necessary for the Defranzos to seek authorization from the Board of Appeals . Thank you for your consideration. Very ruly�yours, ROBERT A.

Notices of said hearing having been duly advertised in Salem Evening News on April 11 , 18, 1984. Abutters and other interested persons having been notified by mail. Present were: Messrs. , Hacker, Hopper, Strout and Associate Members Bencal and LaBrecque Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by the Chairman, James Hacker. Mr. Bencal and Mr. LaBrecque were appointed voting members. Mr. Bencal was appointed Acting Secretary. Mr. Bencal made a motion to accept the minutes of the March 21 , 1984 meeting and the March 28, 1984 meeting. Mr. Strout seconded. UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED A,,2 Crowdis Street Frank & Cheryl Romano ( Petitioners) Donald Emmerton (Owner) This petition was continued from the March 21 , 1984 hearing. Petitioner requests variances from lot size, density, setbacks & frontage in order to construct a single family dwelling in this R-1 district. Petition was continued to allow the Board an opportunity to get an opinion from the City Engineer regarding possible water problems resulting from blasting. This originally was continued until the March 28th hearing, but as the opinion of the City Engineer was not received until that date, the Board Members did not have an opportunity to look it over. Mr. Bencal read the petition and the letter from the City Engineer. He also read a letter from the Eastern Land Survey Associates, Inc. to Richard Sullivan, 138 Highland Ave. , regarding the effects blasting would have on surface runoff. Mr. Bencal read the minutes of the March 21st hearing to bring Mr. LaBrecque, who was not present, up to date on the petition and to refresh the memory of the other members of the Board. Mr. Hacker said he viewed the property, it is in character with the other lots in the area, did see water. I have a problem with granting this, there are not curbs, no catch basins, would cause problems. Mr. Hopper said he would like to hear from Mr. Romano regarding the blasting. Mr. Romano said the blasting would be regulated by the Fire Department, it would have to be done safely, would cause no problems, my blaster had contacted the City Engineer, I don' t know if he was satisfied. Mr. Bencal, the City Engineer seemed not to really give an answer, the only other correspondences is that of the Eastern Land Survey Associates, it is apparent from that report there would be major problems if this is allowed to go through, I am not confortable with this. Mr. Strout asked Mr. Romano what steps are being taken regarding the water problem. Mr. Romano said there was no water problem, if you got an unbiased opinion you would find there is no problem with water. Mr. Hacker said he was unbiased, I walked the land and there was water there. Mr. McIntosh, the Building Inspector, told Mr. Romano that if there is water there, there are things that can be done to make the water go where you want it to go, such as catch basins. Mr. Hopper, the evidence we have shows the blasting would be detrimental. Mr. Bencal made a motion to grant the petition for variance, Mr. Hopper seconded. Voting to deny the motion: Mr. Hacker, Mr. Hopper, Mr. Bencal and Mr. LaBrecque. Voting in favor of the motion: Mr. Strout. PETITION DENIED vg SO CITY OF SALEM • MASSACHUSETTS ROBERT A.

LE OUX RAL/lcm MINUTES - MARCH 21 , 1984 page three 41 Flint St. - Continued Mr. Charnas said that before there was a vote on the condominium conversion he would like to be sure there was no coersion regarding previous tenants. Mr. Sousa explained there were no tenants per se, it was an owner occupied dwelling. Mr. Charnas made a motion to ;rant the Special Permit and allow conversion to two condominium units on condition there be no change to the exterior of the building without the approval of the Historical Commission. Mr. Hopper seconded. CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION FOR TWO UNITS UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED 2 Crowdis St. - Frank & Cheryl Romano Petitioner is requesting variances from lot size, density, setbacks and frontage in order to construct a single family dwelling in this R-1 district. Mr. Charnas read the application and a letter from the Fire Marshal stating the Fire Dept. had no objection provided plans be submitted for stamped approval. Mr. Romano represented himself, he explained this dwelling would be occupied by himself and his wife. He displayed plans to the Board. As this lot stands now, it is useless, there is no room for growth. Except for the fact that these lots were at one time owned by the same person we would not have to be here, he quoted from the section of the Ordinance relating to non-conforming lots (Grandfather Clause) . He submitte, a petition signed by three neighbors and a letter from Mr. Piemonte, 22 Crowdis St. all in favor. Mr. Hacker said he had spoken to Mr. Piemonte and some others and they are in favor. Speaking in favor: Mr. John Walsh, nephew of Mr. Emmerton, the owner, he explained his uncle acquired these lots as an inheritance and would like very much to sell them. Also speaking in favor was Mr. Romano. Speaking in opposition: Richard Sullivan, 138 Highland Ave. , concerned with the blasting, this is mostly ledge, also concerned with water runoff. John Criscenti, 140 Highland Ave. , also concerned with blasting, said there was a stream on the property and is concerned with water coming into his cellar. Don Soper, concerned about moving soil, water runoff. Harry Takis, 7 Crowdis, this is narrow street, there is an astronomical amount of ledge that would have to be removed, would take a lot of blasting. Mr. Hacker asked him if there were many problems when they blasted for the sewers. Mr. Takis said there was. In Rebuttal: Mr. Romano said he walked the land about a month ago with Mr. Criscenti who pointed out the stream to him. There will be no water problem, the water would flow in another direction, the fire marshal would require my having insurance and there would be a preblast survey done, I would not buy this property if there was a runoff problem, Hearing closed. Mr. Hacker asked Mr. McIntosh, the Building Inspector for his opinion. Mr. McIntosh said he was not an expert but would like to see a preblast survey done. Mr. Charnas said he was concerned with the runoff. Mr. McIntosh suggested the Board may want to restrict the elevation. Mr. Hacker said he would like to see this continued to allow the Board to get an opinion from the City Engineer. He asked Mr. Romano if he would waive his rights reqarding the time element, Mr. Romano agreed. Mr. Hopper suggested Mr. Romano have his blaster contact the City Engineer. Mr. Hopper made a motion to continued this petition to allow the Board to seek the opinion of the City Engineer and to give petitioner a chance to have his blaster contact the City Engineer. Mr. Luzinski seconded UNANIMOUSLY CONTINUED. Mr. Hacker explained to Mr. Romano that the next scheduled hearing is March 28, 1984, if he Board receives the Engineers opinion the case would be heard then, if not it would not be until the April 25th hearing. He also explained to abutters that this would not be advertised again and they would not be notified. +.CON of $ajen`, 49assar4use#4Y i L.J. llC Public Propertg Department +<a NNE � {, uilbing �Departntent (Otte -'&nlem (trireen 7.13-0213 William H.

Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem.Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Petitioners are requesting Variances from lot size, density, setbacks and frontage in order to construct a single family dwelling in this R-1 district. The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the Board that: Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings and structures in the same district. The Board of Appeal, after hearing the evidence presented at the bearing, makes the following findings of fact: 1 . Vigorous oPPo-sition was raised by neighbors; ! 2. No one spoke in support of this petition; 3. Engineer report submitted showed probable water runoff damage; 4. Petitioner did not meet his burden of proof as to hardship. On the basis of the above findings of fact and on the evidence presented at the hearing the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: 1 . The variance requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment the public good or without substantially degogating from the purpose of the Ordinance or the intent of the district. Therefore the Zoning Board of Appeal voted by a vote of four against and one in favor to deny the petitioners request for variances. VARIANCE DENIED j' ARREAL FR�LI THIS 'W.

Dear Mr. Tremblay: I am in receipt of opinions written by the City Solicitor, Robert A. Ledoux, relative to 5 Carrollton Street, 5 Frederick Street, 2 & 4 Valley Street, and 2 Crowdis Street;, as grandfathered lots . The former Building-Inspector, William Monroe, denied these permits and the owners were told to go to the Board of Appeals . On behalf of the neighborhoods of Ward 4 and, in fact, the entire city, I am vehemently opposed to the granting of these permits . Other properties with similar characteristics exists throughout the City of Salem, and I believe that a dangerous precedent will be set that could cause a chain reaction that would be detrimental to the character and stability of neighborhoods throughout the City. Please contact me prior to the issuing of any permits so that we may discuss these immediately. If there are any questions in connection with these permits, please do not hesitate to call me at 744-0799 . Waiting to hear from you. Very truly yours,Q 7 LEONARD F.
