Brennan:
Welcome to Salem.
In my opinion, so long as the lots already exist as separate lots of record, then nothing more is needed under the subdivision control law.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.

Subject: 4 and 6 Valley Street - ANR Endorsement
Good Morning Robin,
I don't believe we have met yet- I am Brennan Postich, the new Planner for the Zoning Board of Appeals. I'm sure we'll have the
chance to talk in person soon!
We received an application requesting to construct a single-family home on a lot at 4 Valley Street (please see the attached plot
plan and statement of hardship). 4 Valley Street is merged under common law with 6 Valley Street. However, it is assessed as two
separate lots by the City of Salem. The two lots have been owned by the same family/estate since 1980. The single-family
residence would require a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals for both inadequate lot frontage (50 feet provided where
100 feet is required) and inadequate lot area per dwelling unit (6,497 square feet provided where 15,000 is required).
We were wondering if this petition requires Form A (ANR endorsement) from the Planning Board should the Zoning Board of
Appeals approve the variances.
Thank you,
Brennan Postich (he/him/his)
