April 17, 2025
To whom it may concern,
As property owner of 290 Canal St in Salem, MA, I authorize The Residences on Canal St, LLP to
file a petition with the ZBA for a variance for a curb cut along my property at 290 Canal St. The
curb cut required is wider than the allowed 24ft in the Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The
improvements along Kimball Rd have been approved by the Salem Planning Board, City
Engineering, Design Review Board. The request for ZBA relief was requested by the Planning
Board through a PUD permit for the project across the street (the old Bertini's site) which is a
mixed-use 250-unit apartment project that's currently under construction.
Sincerely,
Steve Bornstein
