I have had an opportunity to review the plans and I believe this project will be an asset to the neighborhood. Replacing the severely deteriorated and uninhabitable structure with a new structure will remove a blight and be in keeping with the neighborhood's character. It is therefore with great pleasure that I support this project. Very truly yours, ?Jn Lovel Y Councillor at Large SALEM CITY HALL • 93 WASHINGTON STREET• SALEM, MA 01970-3592 •WWW.SALEM.COM From: Chester Chalupowski<cjc64849gmail.com> Subject: Variance Date: July 19,2010 3:09:56 PM EDT To: m_woodcockQverizon.net Cc: Margret Chalupowski<mdphdjdQgmail.com>,cesar lebel<cesarlebel@gmail.com> Mary Woodcock 20-Belleview Ave Salem MA 01970 Ref:24-English Street Salem MA 01970 Mary,as per our conversation today i have no opposition to your interest in replacing the structure at 24-English Street Salem me,i am fully aware that you intend to increase the footprint by 6 feet,and accordingly it should have no detrimental affect, to the contrary replacing the structure should be an improvement everyone abutting the structure would appreciate. My understanding you have addressed the issue as to the Historical significance of this structure and have been informed it does not have any historical value.
