The petitioners are requesting a variance so that they are able to open a check cashing operation on the border of the McIntire Historic Neighborhood. This business will in no way improve that neighborhood or offer needed services to the residents that live there. Also of note is the lack of any parking in the area. Check-cashing operations by and largedrvice a transient population--this densely settled neighborhood is not the area for such a business endeavor as the one proposed. Salem has a number of fine banks and lending institutions and I suggest that this population deal with those establishments. An application for a variance needs to demonstrate that--and here I quote from the Salem zoning ordinance: "Literal enforcement of the provisions of this(zoning) ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise to the appellant; and 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 this ordinance." I believe that this business would substantially derogate this section of the city and the neighborhood in particular. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Dear Madame Chair and Board Member: Board members are aware that Use Variances are not provided for in Salem's zoning code;therefore the petition for a change of use variance at 40 Boston Street should be rejected solely on that point.

BLAIR August 18, 1999 Ms. Nina Cohen, Chairperson Salem Board of Appeal City of Salem Salem, MA 01970 Dear Madam Chairperson and members of the Board: I would like to go on record as being in strong opposition to a check store at the corner of Boston and Federal Street. This type of establishment is extremely inappropriate for our city, in addition to the fact that this business would be placed in the center of a residential neighborhood. I also believe very strongly that this type of business draws an element to our city that I believe should not be received favorably by this Board of Appeal, or any other responsible segment of City Government.
