If different from petitioner. Representative: A TRUE Address: ATTEST Telephone: Signature:_ Date: CITY CLERK DATE DPCD DATE This original application must be filed with the City Clerk. SCHEDULE A The Petitioner, Salem Waterfront Developments, LLC, owner of the three family building at 76 Leach Street, seeks zoning relief to allow for an addition onto the rear of the existing building. The property is located off of Lafayette Street and is surrounded by residential buildings, many of which are multifamily buildings. The property is situated in the B-1 zoning district. The existing structure is nonconforming as to side yard setback, front yard setback, and height. The required width of side yard in the B-1 zoning district is 10 feet, and the existing structure sits 5 feet from the lot line on the westerly side. The required depth of front yard in the B-1 zoning district is 15 feet, and the existing front yard is 8.6 feet at its narrowest point. The maximum allowed building height in the B-1 zoning district is 30 feet, and the existing building height is 32.7 feet. This proposed addition will not increase an existing nonconformity, and it will not create a new nonconformity. The proposed addition is positioned so as not to encroach into required setbacks. In addition, the existing roof line and dormers will be carried through to the addition. While adding two units, the proposal also adds several parking spaces, as shown on the plan submitted herewith. The project will renovate an existing property and add two housing units to the neighborhood. The project meets the parking requirements, and utilities are in place to serve the existing building, as well as the two additional units. The proposal fits the neighborhood character in that the front and sides of the existing building will remain the same, and the style and materials used on the existing building will be continued throughout the addition. The addition will have little impact on the view from the street, as the change is to the rear of the building. The addition should have no significant impact on the view of the immediate abutter, as there is a freestanding garage next to the location of the proposed addition. The proposed project will benefit the City of Salem by adding taxpayers and new condominium units with parking to the housing stock. Wherefore, the Petitioner respectfully requests that the necessary relief for the project be granted. 80 Leach St. RECEIVED' Salem, MA 01970 May 9, 2017 MAY 12 2017 Salem Zoning Board of AppealsDEPT OF PLANNING & 120 Washington Street COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Salem, MA01970 Re: 76 Leach Street, petition of Salem Waterview Developments May 9, 2107 Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals: We appreciate that Mr. Becker of Salem Waterview Developments reached out to us as abutters of 76 Leach Street. However,we are dismayed about his plans for extensive expansion of the property.They will negatively affect our neighborhood. Expanding from three to five units, adding a two-car garage, and creating six parking spaces on a small plot of green space is extreme, inappropriate,and highly detrimental to the living conditions of the area. 76 Lafayette has five direct abutters,and a sixth meets at the northeast corner of the property. If the plans are put into effect, all of those neighboring homes will suddenly be contiguous with a paved lot with automobile fumes,oil, and water run-off,along with a very large,very tall building that will take away sunlight,obliterate green space, and increase the density of the neighborhood. While there have been renovations to other properties on the block in recent years, none of them expanded the footprint of the building. Those that added parking added it to the street-side portion of the lot, rather than overtaking backyards that intersect with neighbors' properties. We are extremely concerned about water run-off onto our property. A detailed,effective hydrology plan will be crucial in order to protect our home and others from water run-off. Further, we are distressed about the addition to the building and the removal of the green space. We can support renovation of the existing building, and,we understand the need to add a couple more parking spaces to provide on-site parking,though it will affect our aesthetics and, as mentioned, requires dealing appropriately with hydrology. We request that the developer retain as much green space as possible with a minimum of additional pavement, plus create a clear plan for hydrology management that will avoid run-off to our lot and other adjoining lots. We regret that we cannot attend the hearing to speak directly about this. We hope that you will reject the special permit for an addition to 76 Leach Street and its additional parking. Please accept our letter into the record. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, _ Margaret V. Howard and John F.
