RE: 162 Federal Street(railing)
Dear Mr. Ricciarelli,
We have reviewed your request to allow the interior ornamental stair railing to remain in place. It is my
opinion that the building will be undergoing a level three renovation as described in the IEBC Code. It is
also my opinion that you will need to bring this rail system up to current code during the renovations.
Therefore, I am denying your request.
You may appeal my interpretation of the Code and/or ask for a variance from the code by appealing to
the Board of Buildings, Regulations and Standards Appeal Board. We understand that this project is
subject to Historic tax credits and would not be opposed to the Board's granting of a variance if that is
the Boards opinion.

RE: Building Stabilization & Corrective Measures for Out of Plumb Exterior Walls
162 Federal Street
Salem, MA
McBrie, LLC Project#17-043
Dear Mr. St. Pierre:
This letter is to inform you that McBrie, LLC has inspected the above referenced structure following
removal of the lath and plaster. Based upon the current lean of the exterior walls, due to the attic floor
and roof construction, McBrie, LLC recommends that the City of Salem allow immediate stabilization
and corrective measures to plumb the exterior walls using a series of cables to pull the exterior walls
back to their original locations while the city reviews the permit application for the full building permit
which is to be applied for in the near future.
The stabilization and corrective measures will consist of approximately 14 cables which will be
installed from the exterior along the long walls (leftand right walls) and two along the short walls
(front&rear walls) of the original 3+ story section. The cables will be used to pull the walls plumb
via tightening nuts from the exterior. Screw jacks will also be installed below the main ridge as part of
this stabilization/plumbing process to help the wall plumbing process.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you require additional information.
Sincerely,

Subject: ZBA: petition of Bill Wharff for 162 Federal Street,
Dear Danielle - I will not be able to attend this week's ZBA meeting, but wanted to ask
you to convey to the Board that, much as we appreciate the two meetings that Bill Wharff
has had with the neighborhood since the ZBA last met to hear this matter in April, his
position on density has not changed and we have not received the interior plans for the
building which we have requested.
Therefore I continue to support the petition submitted to the Board by many Federal Street
abutters and neighbors at the last meeting, citing the number of units proposed as being
out of scale with the neighborhood. I hope that the abutters and other neighbors on
Federal Street can continue to meet with Mr. Wharff to arrive at a solution that works for
everyone - and that you will support continued dialogue. Thank you. Best regards - Meg
Twohey, 122

Decision
City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals
Petition of WILLIAM WHARFF seeking Variances from minimum lot area per
dwelling unit, and Special Permits to change one nonconforming use to another and
to increase existing side yard setback nonconformity, to accommodate conversion of
an office building to nine (9) residential condominium units, on the property located
at 162 FEDERAL STREET, Salem,MA, in the Residential Two-Family Zoning
District(R2).
Petitioner seeks Variances pursuant to the Salem Zoning Ordinance, §6-4, Table I:
Residential Density Regulations (recodified on September 10,2009 as §4.1.1: Table of
Dimensional Requirements). Petitioner also seeks Special Permits pursuant to §5-30),
Extension of Nonconformity(recodified on September 10,2009 as §3.33,Nonconforming
Structures), and §8-6,Board of Appeals,Granting Special Permits (recodified on September
10, 2009 as §9.4,Special Permits).
Statements of fact:
1. Attorney Scott Grover represented the petitioner,William Wharff,who has the
property under agreement subject to his ability-to convert it to a residential use. The
property is owned by Health&Education Services,Inc.
2. In a petition dated March 25,2009,the petitioner requested a Variance and Special
Permits to convert the existing office building to nine (9) residential units.
3. A public hearing on the above mentioned Petition was opened on April 15,2009,
pursuant to Mass General Law Ch. 40A,§11.
4. At the April 15, 2009 meeting,Attorney Grover stated that a leaking oil tank exists
on the property, and cleanup would be expensive; he also stated that the property is
currently being remediated.
5. In a statement submitted with the application,Attorney Grover also noted that the
building at 162 Federal Street is substantially larger than any other residential
structure in the area;that conversion of it from a commercial to residential use
would require a complete reconstruction of the interior of the building; and that such
conversion would be costly enough to require a certain level of densityto support
costs of rehabilitation.
t
2
6. At the April 15, 2009 meeting,Attorney John Carr,7 River Street, representing the
Federal Street Neighborhood Association, opposed the project,citing concerns
about density,and stating that the change in use from a mental health center with
daily business hours to a residential building would increase the intensity of use.
7. At the April 15,2009 meeting,other residents spoke in opposition to the project,
citing similar concerns about density,intensity of use,and the fact that the
developer's proposal appeared to have measured the square footage of living space
differently from the City Assessor's office.
8. At the April 15, 2009 meeting,Ward 2 Councillor Michael Sosnowski, 17 Collins
Street,spoke in opposition to the project at its current density,stating that units of
the size proposed would not be in keeping with the character with the
neighborhood.
9. At the April 15, 2009 meeting,Board members expressed concerns about the.
density,the amount of space available for parking, and whether the proposed use
would be less intense than the current use.
10. The hearing was continued to August 19,2009. At the August 19,2009 meeting,
Attorney Grover stated that in response to meetings with the neighbors,the plans
had been revised to show a reduction from nine (9) proposed units to eight (8),an
increase in the proposed parking spaces from fifteen (15) to eighteen (18),and
additional green space. Approximately 10,000 square feet of additional land area was
also shown on the plan,the result of an agreement with the Archdiocese of Boston
to acquire part of their property at 150 Federal Street.
11. At the August 19,2009 meeting,Attorney Grover stated that the relief now
requested was for lot area per dwelling unit of 3,200 square feet,rather than the
originally requested 1,166 square feet per dwelling unit, and that this was the only
dimensional relief needed,as the previously proposed side entrance had been
eliminated.
12. At the August 19,2009 meeting,Attorney John Carr, representing the Federal Street
Neighborhood Association,stated that while the project was progressing in a
favorable direction, not all of the neighbors were available to view the revised plans,
and so they could not yet support the petition. He requested that, if agreeable to
Attorney Grover,the item be continued to September 16,2009, by which time the
neighborhood would have time to review the new plans,and they would then be
able to solidly support the project. The Board subsequently voted to continue the
matter to September 16,2009.
13. At the September 16, 2009 meeting,Attorney Grover presented the revised plans.
At the meeting,Ken Wallace, 172 Federal Street, stated his opposition to the plans
due to concerns that prospectiveresidents would park on Federal Street. Attorney
John Carr,continuing to represent the Federal Street Neighborhood Association,
stated that he was pleased with the changes made to the plans, but wished to see the
number of units reduced further to seven (7).

14. The pubic hearing was closed on September 16,2009,with the following Zoning
Board of Appeals members present: Rick Dionne (chairing the meeting),Annie
Harris,Beth Debski,Bonnie Belair(alternate),and Jimmy Tsitsinos (alternate).
15. At its meeting on September 16,2009,the Board of Appeals voted five (5) in favor
and none (0) opposed to grant a Variance under§6-4,Table I: Residential Density
Regulations (recodified on September 10, 2009 as §4.1.1: Table of Dimensional
Requirements).
The Board of Appeal,after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public
hearing, and after thorough review of the plans and petition submitted,makes the following
findings:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist affecting the parcel or building,which do
not generally affect other land or buildings in the same district.
2. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and
without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the
zoning ordinance,as the proposed project is in harmony with the residential
character of the neighborhood,particularly with the reduction of density and
addition of parking and green space to the original proposal.
3. Literal enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance would involve substantial
hardship,financial or otherwise,to the appellant,as costs of the building's
rehabilitation in the current economic climate would be considerable.
4. The applicant may vary the terms of the Residential Two-Family Zoning District to
construct the proposed addition,which is consistent with the intent and purpose of
the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
5. In permitting such change,the Board of Appeals requires certain appropriate
conditions and safeguards as noted below.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and all evidence presented at the public hearing
including, but not limited to,the Plans,Documents and testimony,the Zoning Board of
Appeals concludes:
1. To allow for the redevelopment of the office building on the property located at 162
Federal Street into eight (S) residential units as per the plans submitted, including the
plan titled"Parking Sketch Concept Plan for a Proposed Residential Development at
162 Federal Street,Salem,Massachusetts," prepared by Patrowicz Land
Development Engineering and North Shore Survey Corporation,dated August 4,
2009,the requested Variance from lot area per dwelling unit for the Residential Two-
Family Zone is granted.
In consideration of the above,the Salem Board of Appeals voted,five (5) in favor(Dionne,
Belair, Harris, Debski and Tsitsinos) and none (0) opposed, to grant petitioner's requests for
a Variance subject to the following terms, conditions, and safeguards:
•f

RE: 162 Federal Street
Salem, Ma. 01970
Dear Mr. O'Shea:
On Friday, November 2, 2007, I was notified of large excavation immediately adjacent to
your building at 162 Federal Street. The concern was the size and depth of the
excavation and it's proximity to the building. Additionally a severe wind and rain event
was predicted for Saturday morning. I contacted Salem Fire Department who dispatched
Deputy Beaudet.
From the information I was able to gather, the excavation originally started as an
underground tank removal. The tank was removed and the hole was backfilled.
My information is that the dirt tested, came back contaminated. The hole was dug up
again and the excavation continued to dig down to about 12'x 13' feet deep, and 30' x
24' wide. The hole was immediately adjacent to brick foundation. The brick foundation
rested upon field stone and below as underlying layer of clay. This work was done
without the supervision of an Engineer. The removal of this amount of material adjacent
and below the foundation placed the foundation and building in jeopardy of failing.
At this point I called a Structural Engineer, William Hobbs, to render an opinion on the
situation. Mr. Hobb's letter better explains the engineering, but in simple terms, he
informed me that the hole had to be filled immediately.
I called several local contractors, and with time of the essence, it was 1:30 and the local
quarry closed at 3:15, 1 was able to get Peter Holland of Spencer Contracting, to take on
the job. Mr. Holland immediately contracted to have fill delivered, earth moving
equipment and worked until approximately 8:30 p.m. to accomplish the back fill of the
hole. I stopped by the area at 11:30 p.m. to confirm the work was completed. Mr.
Holland returned Saturday morning and removed the excess fill and cleaned the site.
a
r
The authority to order the work at the site comes from the Massachusetts State Building
Code 780 CMR, Section 121.3. It should be noted that the contractor, who excavated the
hole, should not have attempted the work without the approval and supervision of an
engineer. If further information is needed please contact me.

My information is that the dirt tested, came back contaminated. The hole was dug up
again and the excavation continued to dig down to about 12'x 13' feet deep, and 30' x
24' wide. The hole was immediately adjacent to brick foundation. The brick foundation
rested upon field stone and below as underlying layer of clay. This work was done
without the supervision of an Engineer. The removal of this amount of material adjacent
and below the foundation placed the foundation and building in jeopardy of failing.
At this point I called a Structural Engineer, William Hobbs, to render an opinion on the
situation. Mr. Hobb's letter better explains the engineering, but in simple terms, he
informed me that the hole had to be filled immediately.
I called several local contractors, and with time of the essence, it was 1:30 and the local
quarry closed at 3:15, I was able to get Peter Holland of Spencer Contracting, to take on
the job. Mr. Holland immediately contracted to have fill delivered, earth moving
equipment and worked until approximately 8:30 p.m. to accomplish the back fill of the
hole. I stopped by the area at 11:30 p.m. to confirm the work was completed. Mr.
Holland returned Saturday morning and removed the excess fill and cleaned the site.
The authority to order the work at the site comes from the Massachusetts State Building
Code 780 CMR, Section 121.3. It should be noted that the contractor, who excavated the
hole, should not have attempted the work without the approval and supervision of an
engineer. If further information is needed please contact me.
