RE: 311-313 Bridge Street
Dear Owners,
The above-reference property is in an Residential-2 zone, but has had two grandfathered uses on
the site in the past, an automotive repair shop in the rear of the property and a used car lot with
an office on the rest of the lot,that are not allowed in R-2. The used car lot is no longer in
business and has lost is grandfathered status and the repair shop continues to operate due to the
grandfathered status and may continue to operate. Please refer to the enclosed plan that shows
the portion of the lot (4330 sf)upon which the repair shop's grandfathered use is allowed.
I have confirmed that the auto repair shop has expanded the use throughout the lot without
proper approval.To expand the repair shop into the former auto dealership space, a Special
Permit from the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals would be required.
You are directed to cease the storage of vehicles and other storage containers on the portion of
the lot that has not had any approvals within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Your right to appeal
against this order or application for a Special Permit, is to the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals.
Upon receipt of this letter, please contact my office. Thank you.
Sincerely,
va_q�. qj(),V�
