As you can see, we have calculated that the total Gross Square Foot Area of the building prior to the fire was approximately 6391 SF, and that the total Livable Square Foot Area of the building was approximately 6243 SF. Based on our visual inspection and measurement of the building, we determined that 100% of the first floor area, 95% of the second floor area and approximately 25% of the third floor area remains intact and was not destroyed by the fire that occurred at the property in December 1997. Therefore, the total square footage of floor area remaining intact totals approximately 5080 square feet, or approximately 80% of the total Gross Square Foot Area of the building. It is my professional opinion, therefore, that more than 50`90 of the building's floor area has not been destroyed, and that the building can be reconstructed to its original condition prior to the fire a as indicated by Article VIII, Section 8.4, Subparagraph 2, of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance. b Y if T can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me. 3 Y u Sincerely, PIERCE.

Tremblay, Zoning Enforcement Officer One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 RE: 301 Lafayette Street— Reconstruction of Nonconforming Building Dear Inspector Tremblay: Issue Presented: You have asked for my opinion/review of the proposed reconstruction of the nonconforming structure at 301 Lafayette Street that was recently partially destroyed due to a fire. While the Massachusetts Zoning Law (Chapter 40A, Section 6) does not expressly authorize the reconstruction of an accidentally"destroyed", nonconforming structure, the City of Salem's Zoning Ordinance does provide such protection. Specifically, Section 8- 4(2) provides: Should such structure be destroyed by any means to an extent of more than fifty(50) percent of its replacement cost or more than fifty (50) percent of its floor area at the time of destruction, ithh is a l not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. (emphasis added) Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines "destroy" as "to ruin the structure, organic existence, or condition of." Thus, the focus becomes how much of the structure of 301 Lafayette Street was ruined by the fire? Replacement Cost Peter Strout(Peter Strout General Contracting) has opined that the cost of the repairs is less than fifty (50) percent of the total replacement cost of the structure. Total cost to replace the main structure being $729,630.00 and the repairs to be done $325,000.00. (See attached opinion). As we discussed, this portion of the ordinance (replacement cost) is rather nebulous. It does appear, however, that they have minimally met this vague standard. } Page Two of Two May 13, 1998 Leo Tremblay, Bldg Insp RE: 301 Lafayette Street Floor Area Dan Pierce of Pierce Architects has also provided a breakdown of the square footage before and after the fire. Although Mr. Pierce's description of the third floor appeared overly optimistic (25% still in tact), it does appear that his opinion that more than fifty (50) percent of the total structure is still in tact is accurate. Indeed, at our request, you were afforded the opportunity to inspect the premises on May 11, 1998, and found that approximately seventy(70) percent of the structure still in tact. For the record, Mr. Pierce's calculations as to total area were in accord with the City of Salem's Assessor's Card (6,242 sq ft versus 6,175 sq ft respectively). (See attached copies of both). As it appears that the cost of repairs is less than fifty percent of total replacement costs and that only approximately thirty (30) percent of the floor area has been destroyed, reconstruction can proceed without the need for a special permit or variance. Certainly, "reconstructed" means to an extent no more nonconforming than previous. Going forward, this new structure will continue to be protected under Mass. Gen. L. Ch. 40A, Section 6 as the original nonconforming structure. I hope the foregoing has been helpful. If you have any further questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

MUCTUM Hug W F.NCL'y'iERj To: Pierce Architects Attn: Dan Pierce Fax#: 745-3376 From: John Wathne Date: January 5, 1999 Re: 301 Lafayette Street Pages: 1, including transmittal CC: Todd Main/922-6800 ElFor Rniny ElAs RquNed El Uiycnt El Pleue Conm�cnt I NOTES i Based upon my analysis of the center bearing wall, its as-built condition, and the fact that virtually all of the studs that had been assumed to remain at the first floor have been replaced, please see the following: There are now two rows of 2x4 @ 16"o.c, SPF"Stud" grade or better studs running from the first to second floor. These are sometimes aligned and sometimes not, depending upon the presence and layout of openings in the wall. Because these are of a smaller finished dimension and lower wood grade than was used in the 1890's,each pair must be reinforced with 24's. The 2x6's should be oriented perpendicular to the wall (parallel to the 2x4's) and should be located on the side of the wall that is in bearing (under cut joist ends and/or under the wall that runs to the third floor above and over the supporting beam below). The facing edges of the 20's should be aligned with the edges of the W's to contact the wall finishes. Please note that this will conflict with the current door pockets at some locations and it is not known at this time whether pocket doors will be retained. In the case that they are, triple 2x4 sisters should be added in lieu of the 24's along the doors, The 26's should be nailed to the W's at no less than 6" on center, and the wall sheathing should be attached to either the 2x4 or the 24, continuously. Where possible, the 26's should also be nailed to the W's on the wall at the far side. Signed:(�J� 03A13 832 66. Wg £5 Ii e3 i ,"IdM ON1011f18 i JAId_ ;-3q "UE r�:H .,P1 37j 7166L167 P.

BOWES, JR. ET AL. , REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR 301 LAFAYETTE STREET A hearing on this Petition was held on January 20, 1982, with `b �llilc�&�� t0� Board Members present: Douglad Hopper, :Chairman, Messrs. Hacker, Piemonte, ee etry U and Associate Member Martineau. Notices of the hearing were sent to abpftte�s and !- others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. LITY GLE�,,t. &t,{,E.y.Hpgg: The Petitioners are requesting variances for the property at 301 Lafayette , Street to use the first floor of the property for a law office. A.variance is required because the property is in a.:R-3 district where the proposed use is prohibited without a variance. The Board of Appeals, after consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing and after viewing the property makes the following findings of fact: 1. The property in question is the site of six residential units, four of which are in the building designated as 301 Lafayette Street. 2. The property is a large structure which is easily adaptable to a law office. 3. The continued use of the property for- only residential units presents an economic hardship on the Petitioners. On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Board of Appeal. concludes as follows: (1) The property in question is unique because of its size and configuration and because of its unique ability to accommodate a substantial number of off-street parking spaces. (2) The conditions described above especially affect the structure in question but do not generally affect the zoning district in which the building is located. (3) The conditions described above which affect the land in question, but not the zoning district generally cause financial hardship to the Petitioners. (4) The desired variance may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good because the proposed use of the property is in harmony with other non-residential uses in the area. DECISION - ROBERT D. BOWES, JR. , ET AL 301 LAFAYETTE STREET Page 2 January 20, 1982 JAN 2S 3 14 PH '82 Therefore, the Board of Zoning Appeal unanimously voted in favofft&-' granting the requested relief.
