Re: Irving Street Condominiums
Dear Councillor McCabe,
- As per your request I have reviewed the Board of Appeals Minutes,
Decision, and the Plot Plan that you have provided with regards to
the erection of a fence blocking the driveway at 38 Irving Street.
Although the minutes of the meeting indicated that the entrance
and exit, to and from the parking area's, would be Tremont Place to
Irving Street right through. This was not incorporated in.the
Board's Decision and therefore, in my opinion, unenforceable.
The fence in question is located on private property and not
blocking a public way. Therefore, this office's only jurisdiction
would be in regards to it's Height, which by Zoning Ordinance cannot
exceed six (6) feet in a residential zone.
If I can be of further service in this matter please contact me.

Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A_ _
The petitioner has requested a Variance to construct six two bedroom condominium
units o a certain parcel of land located on Tremont Place and Irving Street. .
Petitioner additionally requested a Variance from the Zoning Ordinance for use,
area, setback, density and other requirements of the zoning regulations that may
be affected in order to construct said condominiums in this R-2 district.
The Variances which have been requested may be granted upon a finding of the
Board that: -
a.
hat:a. 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 in the same district;
6. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the 'Zoning Ordinance would in-
_ .,_volve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to petitioner; and
J -
c. 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 purposes of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at
the public hearing and after viewing the plans of the property in question, makes
the. following findings of fact:
1 . The neighbors and abutters of the property are in significant favor
of the plans presented;
2. The existing structures of an abandoned tannery present a tremendous
fire and health hazard to the neighborhood and adversely affect the area;
3. No opposition was raised to petitioners plan;
4. The petitioner has met with the neighbors on numerous occasions to
work out a plan suitable for all in the area.
On the basis df the above findings of fact and the evidence presented at the

T?EMONT PLACE AND IRVING STREET - GEORGE PAPA.MECHAIL
Petitioner is requesting a Variance to construct six two bedroom condominium:
units in this R-2 district. Mr. Bencal read the application and a le-ter from:
the Fire Marshal stating he had no objection. Attorney Durkin, Peabody,
represented the petitioner. He explained the proposal for, tenapartments that
was withdrawn on February 16, 1983. Mr. papamachail lost the option to buy and
just recently got a Purchase and Sale agreement. The proposed six units is the
result of working with the neighbors and it has their overwhelming approval. They
would like to see owner occupied. It is not practical to have anything but
multifamily there. Hopes the Board will find this more acceptable to what is
now there. This will have to be exterminated before it is demolished. Councillor
McCabe has worked very hard with the neighbors and has had two meetings over the
last couple of months. He submitted pictures of the site as it presently loo;cC.
Mr. Hacker asked if there was anyone in favor: Mr. Edward Freeman, 20 Irving 3t. ,
said he was neither for or against, really neutral, but would like to ask a
couple of questions. How much will these units will cost. Attorney Durkin said
between 65 & 75 thousand per unit. Mr. Freeman, asked about the parking, the
entrance and exit. Attorney Durkin said there would be parking for 15 cars.
The entrance and exit would be Tremont Place to Irving St. right through. [ r.
d Freeman went on record as no opposed or in favor,_is concerned with congestion.
Speaking in favor: Councillor McCabe, this is the proposal the neighbors like
the best. We have had a couple of meetings in the Council Chamber, neighbors are
concerned about fire. Hopes this will be granted tonight. Jack Gilchrist,
Irving St. , there is a problem with rats, I have seen a couple that I thought
were dogs they were so big, the problem will get worse. Donna Esterbrook, 30.
Irving St. , warmer weather is coming and kids will begin to hang around there,
it is dangerous. It is a fire hazard. Philip Pickett, 42 Irving St. , there is,
a pit out back that if children ever fell into it, it would be disastrous.
Marcia Clemens, 37 Irving St. , Ms. Pzenny, 6 Tremont Place, Mrs. Martin, 39 Irving
St. , Steve Este-brook, 30 Irving St. All in favor. Attorney Durkin, the hardship
concerns everyone in the area. Hearing closed. Mr. Bencal, we are removing a.
hazard, I was at one of the meetings Councillor McCabe held and I agree that
anything else is cost prohibitive. Mr. Bencal made a motion to grant the
petition as requested and as shown on plans submitted to the Board. Mr. Strout
seconded. UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. , next scheduled hearing will be held on April
25, 1984 at 7:00 p.m.

Mr. Leo Zisis RE: SALEM - Barrel removal from
1 Colonial Road old Tannery Building
Lynnfield, Ma 01940
Dear Mr. Zisis:
This letter is in regard to your sampling of the liquid and barrels at the
former tannery on the corner of Tremont Street and Irving Street, in Salem, Mass-
achusetts. Samples of solid and liquid material were taken from the barrels and
a vat on the property. Percent volatiles , moisture, ash content, and unsaooni-
fiability of samples were analyzed by Salem Oil and Grease and flash poi ntIanalysis
was conducted at Stevens Water Analysis.
The liquid sample was found to have a strong hydrocarbon solvent odor and con-
tained 47% volatiles. Solvent Recovery Services of New England was contracted and
removed 1078 gallons of this flammable liquid on December 8, 1983.
The barrels containing the solid, however, have not been removed. Salem Oil
and Grease determined after analysis that the solid is an animal-type grease prob-
ably generated after distillation of liquid waste of the type found in the on-site
vat.
Reportedly, the solids in the drums contained mineral spirits which have evap-
orated over time. It is therefore the opinion' of the Department that these
barrels contain animal grease with low. concentrations of mineral spirits, the
barrel contents are therefore not classified as hazardous waste but are classified
as a "special waste" pursuant to 310 CMR 19.00, the Department's Solid Waste Regu-
lations. These barrels can be disposed of at a landfill with the approval of the
Board of Health of the community where the landfill is located pursuant to section
19.16 of these regulations.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please continue to keep us
informed of your disposal plans for these barrels: If,you have any further ques-
tions, please feel free to contact Margo Thornton or..John Fitzgerald of my staff
at 935-2160.

P i7
Dear Mr. Zisis: u,�, CYC
The Department is in receipt of your letter dated September 7, 1901aeg ding
your purchase of an abandoned tannery building at Tremont Place .and Iriong S�eet
in Salem, Massachusetts. In your letter you referenced receiving a coo of %-
July 20, 1983 Departmental correspondence to the former owner of the suoect
property, Mr. Stefanos Loisou, directing him to properly identify and remove
waste materials observed on the premises.
As the new owner of this property, it is now incumbent upon you to execute
this directive. The analysis, classification, and disposal of these waste
materials must be in strict conformance to the "Massachusetts Hazardous Waste
Regulation" (310 CMR30.000).
Salem Oil and Grease is not a DEQE approved laboratory and therefore we are
unable to determine if they have the capabilities of doing the necessary analysis.
Be advised that it is the policy of the Department to assume that waste in
abandoned unmarked drums is hazardous unless proved otherwise.
Please respond within one week of receipt of this letter with definitive
plans for the removal of these drums and an evaluation of the buried tanks
located on the property.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact
Margo Thornton or John Fitzgerald of my staff at 935-2160.

Mr. Stefanos J. Loisou Re: SALEM-Old Tannery Building
300 Raleigh Tavern Lane Corner of Tremont Place and
North Andover, MA 01845 Irving Street-Improper Storage
of Hazardous Waste
Dear Mr. Loisou:
In response to a request by the Salem Building Inspector, engineers from
the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering have undertaken a
preliminary investigation to determine if a former tannery building located
at the corner of 3 Tremont Place and 36-40 Irving Street, Salem, Massachusetts
is in violation of the Massachugetts hazardous waste storage regulations.
Information available to the Department indicated that you are the owner
of this property and thus the responsible party. The building in question
contains a number of unmarked 55 gallon drums anda large, open vat approximately
half full of liquid. A preliminary investigation with portable field instrumentation
indicated these unidentified barrels contain volatile organic materials,
probably organic solvents. Additionally, open corrugated drums were also
observed containing old leather scraps and other solid waste debris.
Volatile organic vapors were also detected emanating from beneath a wooden
grate located outside the building near Irving Street. It is presumed that this
grate conceals an opening for an underground storage tank that could contain
organic solvents or fuels.
The Department has concluded that, based upon these preliminary findings,
these waste materials are being stored in violation of M.G.L. Chapter 21E,
the "Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Materials Release Prevention and Response
Act", and M.G.L. Chapter 21C, the " Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Management
Act", specifically the Hazardous Waste Regulations. (310 CMR 30.000) . Therefore,
within two weeks of your receipt of this letter, please notify this office of your
plans to remedy this situation. You must include in your response information
pertaining to the quantity and chemical composition of the waste and a''.,time table
for your actions which will lead to the removal of any hazardous waste from the
property. Be advised that all hazardous waste must be removed by a licensed
hazardous waste disposal firm.

Dear Mr. Loisou:
• It appears that your efforts to secure the above referenced
property have been in vain, the buildings are still open to invasion
and constitute a very definite hazard to the safety of the public.
You are therefore required to take immediate action to have all
the buildings demolished and all foundation holes filled to grade.
Failure to comply will result in this matter being pursued through
the Courts for their determination.
Very trul/y� yours,/
Richard T. McIntosh

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald:
We are in receipt of your letter dated July 20 , 1983, which was
sent to: Mr . Stefanos J. Loisou, 300 Raleigh Tavern Lane , North
Andover, Ma. 01845 . This letter was regarding property that he
previously owned at Tremont Place and Irving Street in Salem. It
is an old tannery building. Since that letter was sent to him I
have purchased the property. Would you please be kind enough to
change your records accordingly and address any further corres-
pondence to the address at the end of this letter. I received a
copy of this letter from Richard T. McIntosh, the Inspector of
Buildings in Salem.
Since the date on that letter, we have made every effort to com-
ply with your requests regarding the property. We have been over
and again boarded up any openings in the building through which
anyone might gain access . We are also having tests run at this
very time to attempt to identify- the substances currently that
are in the drums inside the old factory. These tests are being
done at: Salem Oil & Grease Company, 60 Grove Street, Salem,
Ma. 01970 . As soon as we receive the results of the tests , we
shall forward them to you immediately.
Should it turn out that these substances are hazardous materials
according to EPA regulations , we shall remove them as quickly as
we possibly can.
Please understand that at no time did we ever or do we ever have
any intention of jeopardizing the health and welfare of the peo-
ple in the surrounding neighborhood or :the public in general. We
are quite aware of the consequences of hazardous waste products
and we certainly would want to do everything we can to abide by
the rules and regulations regarding same . As a result, we shall
make every effort to see that the property located at Tremont
Place and Irving Street is made publicly safe .
I sincerely hope that these moves will be satisfactory to your
department, and if I can be of further assistance or you have
any questions , please do not hesitate to get in touch with me .
Sincerely,
Leonidas J. Zi ' s

As a ' -sult of a telephone ca11,I went to the above pre-
mises: -There I observed broken - widnows w/protective
screening -pulled back on 3 sides of the bldg. On the 4th
side, I observed high grass in which youths had been play- ,
ing & could enter the bldg . w/o being seen. When dry it
would make a fine fire . I also understand - that the
sprinkler system at some point in time has been shut
off . This I cannot prove at this time. I also ob-
served a basement window on hinges which swing in
from the street. A child could push the window & fall to
the greasy floor below. I will forward a copy of this
report to the Fire Marshal David Goggin= & Bldg . Inspec.
