R.E . Addittion to home -Stone veneer on Lower level
Ms Dearborn,
Thank you for meeting with me on your jobsite. The concern you brought up, regarding water
infiltration through the stone veneer and the subsequent mold issues , is likely caused by the
lack of proper flashings above and around the door and windows . The Mass State Building
Code 780 C.M.R. section 1405.3.10 requires "approved corrosion resistant flashings shall be
provided at the top and sides of all exterior window and door openings in such a manner as to be
leakproof......". From my visual observations and from your workmen on site who reinstalled a
door, no flashings were installed. This Building Code Violation needs to be corrected , before
any finishes are added to the interior of the lower level.
I also looked into the issue of standard" Tyvek" being used under the stone veneer . The
DuPont product page does offer a different product to be used under stone and stucco veneer, but
does not seem to prohibit"Tyvek "being used in this application..
If you have any additional questions, please contact me directly.
T m��aa/s St.Pierre

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF RICHARD FEMINO FOR A VARIANC"�J'.
ATj36 CROWDIS STREET ( R-1 ) s �✓
T
A hearing on this petition was held May 20 , 1992 with the Y '
?,
following Board Members present :Richard A. Bencal , r
Chairman , Richard Febonio, Francis Grealish, Stephen
Touchette , and Associate Member Ronald Plante . 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.
Petitioner , owner of the property, is requesting variance
from frontage to allow lot to be divided and to construct a
single family dwelling in this R-1 district .
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a
finding by this Board that :
1 . 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 involved.
2 . Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or
otherwise, to the petitioner.
3 . Desirable relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good and without nullifying or
substantially derogating from the intent of the district or
the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the
evidence presented at the hearing, and after viewing the
plans , makes the following findings of fact:
1 . The new lots would be closer in size to lots presently in the area
and would have more frontage than most other lots in the area. _
2 . The lot could not be divided any other way without
causing more setback or frontage problems .

FOR A VARIANCE AT 36 CROWDIS STREET, SALEM

evidence presented at the hearing, the Board of Appeal
concludes as follows :
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the
subject property but not the district in general .

Ordinance would involve substantial hardship to the
petitioner .
3 . Desirable relief can be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good and without nullifying or
substantially derogating from the intent of the district or

Therefore , the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously,
7-0 , to grant the Variances requested, subject to the
Eoiiowing conditions :
1 . Petitioner shall comply with all city and state
