DECISION ON THE PETITION OF GAIL AND JAMES SAGRIS FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT
AT 10 DEARBORN ST. (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held September 30, 1992 and continued until
October 21, 1992, the following Board Members were present: Richard
Bencal, Chairman; Richard Febonio, Vice Chairman; Francis X. Grealish, Jr. ,
Secretary and Stephen C. Touchette. Notice of the hearing was sent to
abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in
the Salem Evening News.
Petitioners, owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to
extend side and rear setbacks to ailow construction of a second story deck.
The property is located in an R-2 district (residential two family)
Before hearing the merits of this petition, the Board of Appeal must decide
whether or not there is substantial and material change from a previous
petition which was denied by this Board on July 22, 1992. Said previous
petition was for a Special Permit to extend nonconforming rear and side
setbacks to allow construction of a second story deck. Consent from the
City of Salem Planning Board was received and placed on record.
The Board of Appeal, after hearing the evidence presented and after viewing
the plan submitted voted one ( 1 ) in favor of hearing this repetitive
petition, three (3) opposed. The motion to hear the petition failed to
garner the required four (4 ) affirmative votes needed to pass and therefore
does not carry, the motion is denied. The Board concludes there is not
substantial or material change and the petition will not be heard.

Dear Chairman Bencal :

imp,
10 Dearborn Street was built circa 1810 and is one of
Dearborn Street ' s earliest dwellings . While the Commission takes
no position on either petition, we are hopeful that any alterations
or new construction approved will be sympathetic to the historic
architecture of the buildings and their neighborhoods . In this
regard, we would be pleased to offer design review, should the
Board of Appeal request such services .
The property located at 117 Derby Street is located within the
Derby Street,. Historic District and any work proposed will require

paving materials without s , ic .edt landscaping and screening will
have a detrimental effect the historic streetscape and the
residential neighborhood is i f particular concern, since the

This house is one of Dearborn SLreet ' s earliest dwellings. in its
vernacular character, the dwelling is similar to many in Salem. it has
a gambrel roof and a 3-bay symmetrically arrangcd facade with a center
entry. Decorating this cntry is the Virtorian feature of a,. bracketed
doorhood suppoitii,g a Becond story bay. other features are the
pedimented dormers, rear leanto, west end wing, and placement of the
second story windows close to the roof eaves.
HISTORICAL SI aNIFFICANICEE (Explain the role owners played in 1OCal Or state
history and haw the building relates to the development of the co.=r1itY-)
Deed researcl, would be needed to identify the early owner(s) of this
property but by 1851 it was the home of shoea,aker Joseph Srnit� - The
house remained in the Smith family as late as 189". Later it was
purchased by Frank E. Locke (see 31 Dearborn Street ) who rented the
house to teamster Howard A. Sylvester and Julia E. Smith, occupation
unknown.
Because �f t�:e large number of tanneric5 located along thz banks of cle
Narth River , many shoemakers and leather workers livee in Vorth Salem
during the 19th century. The area also develoted as a suburban
neighborhood for professional and clerical people who worked in downtown
Salem... Before such residential subdivision began, ownership of land in
the Nlort.hf iele5 , as this part of Salem was called, was '-ased on a system
of communal proprietorship for argricultural ourDoses. By the mid-18th
century individual own2rship began to replace the notion of land held in
common by. a group of proprietors and during the 19th century houses were
b'.ilL in lar�e nt�mbprs. Judging by its appearance , Lhi� house was built
shortly after Dearborn street was opene� in 1810.

Dear Mr. Daly:
At the last meeting of the Board of Appeal the hearing was opened on a
petition which under MGL Chapter 40A falls under the guidelines of a
repetitive petition as we had denied a similar petition within the past two
years. During the reading of the correspondence to the Board, a letter from
the Planning Board that found significant and material changes had been read.
However, the letter from the Planning Board, a copy of which is attached,
indicated the vote was 6-0 in favor. A question arose as to whether the 6-0
vote constitutes proper passage from the Planning Board.
During the discussion on this issue, two questions arose, one, is this
6-0 vote adequate under MGL Chapter 40A and any other related statutes, or
two, is a vote of eight of the nine members of the Planning Board required.
We have continued this petition until October 21, 1992 and are awaiting your
written reply. As you can see, time is of the essence in this matter. I
trust that as with all previous correspondence with this Board that we will
hear from you in the time frame required. Please contact me should you have
any questions on this matter.
Cordially yours,

Salem, YA 01970
Dear Mr. & Mrs . Sagris :
I find it necessary to take this opportunity to respond to your
to me, dated October 6 , 1992 . This letter was filled with
inaccuracies that need to be corrected.
The fact is that when I sooke with you about your deck, I told you
(,-ui-.e straight-forwardly that you needed to obtain a special permir
-rom the Board of Appeal in order to build it. I explained to you
that your project was stopped since you had not obtained a building
permit, as you were required to do. I had noth�ing to do with stopping
the project, nor did I have any knowledge that the project was
stopped. It was halted by the Building Inspector, after he had
determined that you had not been issued a building permit. I also
�oid you that, you should show your nearest abutters your plans and
demonstrate to them that your project would not impact adversely on
their lives .
Soon after talking with you, I spoke with Mrs . Shirley LeFleur of
8 Dearborn Street, your next door neighbor, who has lived there for
over forty years . Mrs . LeFleur said that you never consulted her when
you began building without a permit . Mrs . LeFleur became alarmed when
she observed your second story deck, on a level with her bedroom
windows and less than ten ( 10) feet from those windows . You fail to
oo-int out in your letter that on July 22 , 1992 , the Board of Appeal
denied your request for a Special Permit. The Board found the Special
Permit requested would be substantially detrimental to the public good
and would substantially derogate from the purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance. The Board also said that the Special Permit would not be
in harmony with the neighborhood. You failed to state that the Board
of Appeal denied your project, without any input from me.
I subsequently spoke to Mrs . LeFleur when you asked that your
project again be considered by the Board of �ppeal . After that
conversation, I felt that I agreed with the original Board of Appeal
decision that because your second floor deck had such a negative
impact on Mrs . LeFleur ' s bedroom area, your project was not in harmony
with the neighborhood. I
I then wrote my letter to the Board of Appeal ,
and it is rewarding that the Board gave it such deference.
As you point out, the job of a ward councillor is to represent the
interests of the entire ward, and I have done so for the past five (5 )
years . However, this is not an issue that affects the entire ward.
This issue affects you and Mrs . LeFleur, only. And I have sided with
Mrs . LeFleur since, in my opinion, your proposed second floor deck
would have a very negative impact on the quality of her life.
I know that my position will not please you. However, I am
available to meet with you at a mutually convenient time. Simple call
me at 745-0505, and I would be glad to do so.
Sincerely yours ,

RE: Petition of Gail & James Sagris
Dear Distinguished Members :
I am writing to indicate my opposition to the petition
of Gail and James Sagris for a Special Permit to allow
construction of a deck at 10 Dearborn Street.
The first basis of my opposition is that I firmly
believe the current petition before you has not
substantially changed from the petition submitted by Mr.
and Mrs . Sagris a few short months ago, which the Board
rightfully denied.
Secondly, present plans continue to show the deck on
the second floor level . A deck at this height, in this
closely built neighborhood, presents a very real problem
to the abutters . From a deck at this height, there is a
real potential of visual invasion into the abutter ' s
bedrooms . Such a potential encroachment certainly does
not promote the public convenience, morals or welfare of
the city ' s inhabitants . Furthermore, such a potential
encroachment would not be in harmony with the purpose and
intent of the Zoning ordinance.
Using the above guidelines, I urge you to deny the
Sagris ' s petition.
Ver truly yours,

This house is one of Dearborn Street' s earliest dwellings. In its
vernacular character, the dwelling is similar to many in Salem. it has
a gambrel roof and a 3-bay symmetrically arranged facade with a center
entry. Decorating this entry is the Virtorian feature of a.. bracketed
doorhood supportii�g a second story bay. other features are the
pedimented dormers, rear leanto, west end wing, and placement of the
sccond story windows close to the roof eaves.
HISTOpICAL SjajpjCAN=- (Explain the role owners played in local or state
history and haw the building relates to the development of the C=Unity-)
Deed researcl, would be needed to identify the early owner(s) of t.h-i5
property but by 1851 it was the home of shoefflaker Juseph Smit�.. The
house remained in the Smith family as late as 1897. Later it was
purchased by Frank E. Locke (see 31 Dearborn Street) who rented the
house to teamster Howard A. Sylvester and Julia E. Smith, occupation
unknown.
Because of the large number of LanneriC5 located along th-z b�anks of tltp
North River, many shoemakers and leather workers lived in North Salem
during the 19th century. The area also develolped as a suburban
neighborhood for professional and clerical people who worked in downtown
Salem.. Before such residential subdivision began, ownership of land in
the Worthfields, as this part of Salem was called, -gas based on a system
of communal proprietorship for argricultural purposes. By the mid-18th
century individual own--,rship began to replace the notion of land held in
common by. a g-oup of prODrietors and during the 19th century houses were
b-�ilt in large m1mbers . Judging by its appearance , thi� house was built
shortly after Dearborn Street was opene2 in 1810.
