On November 1, 2017,the Board filed its written decision(the "Decision")with the Town Clerk. A copy of the Decision is attached as Exhibit A. The variances and special permit are invalid and should be annulled. The Parties 1. The plaintiff Vinnin Square Apartments LLC ("Vinnin") is a limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1101 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA 0 170 1. Vinnin owns the property at 1 Carol Way in Salem("the Vinnin Property"). The Vinnin Property contains a residential housing development. 2. The defendant Salem Zoning Board of Appeals (the`Board")is the duly constituted board of appeals of the City of Salem, Massachusetts,with offices at Salem City Hall Annex, Room 313, 120 Washington Street, Salem, MA 01970. 3. The defendant Rebecca Curran is the Chair of the Board, residing at 14 Clifton Ave, Salem, MA 01970. 4. The defendant Peter A. Copelas is the Vice-Chair of the Board,residing at 40 Warren Street, Salem, MA 01970. 5. The defendant Mike Dufffy is a member of the Board,residing at I Warren Court, Salem, MA 01970. 6. The defendant Thomas Watkins is a member of the Board, residing at 13 Crescent Drive, Salem, MA 01970. 7. The defendant James Tsitsinos is a member of the Board, residing at 12 Brown Street, Apt. 1, Salem, MA 01970. 8. The defendant James Hacker is an alternate member of the Board, residing at 4 Mayflower Lane,#4, Salem, MA 01970. 9. The defendant Paul Viccica is an alternate member of the Board,residing at 35 Broad Street, Salem, MA 01970. 10. The defendant Vavel LLC ("Vavel") is a limited liability company with its principal place of business at 16 C Alden Ave, Enfield, CT 06082. Vavel owns the property at 602 Loring Ave, Salem, Massachusetts (the "Site"). 2 The Facts The Site,the Project, and the Zoning Ordinance 11. The Site contains approximately 0.6 acres. It is located in the R3 Zoning District under the Salem Zoning Ordinance (the "Ordinance"). 12. Vavel proposes to demolish the existing building on the Site,re-grade the property, and construct a five-story, 20-unit, multi-family residential apartment building("the Project"). The Project would be 49.6 feet high. It would be located 53.8 feet from Vinnin's existing apartment building at 1 Carol Way. 13. A multi-family residence in the R3 district requires a special permit under Section 7.1.1. of the Ordinance. 14. Section 7.1.2.2 of the Ordinance states that no multi-family development "shall exceed three (3) stories." 15. Section 7.1.2.2 of the Ordinance states that no multi-family development "shall exceed . . . thirty-five (35) feet in height." 16. Section 7.1.2.5 of the Ordinance states that"[t]here shall be a buffer zone of seventy-five (75)feet from any building or structure on an adjacent lot where said lot is not under the same ownership." 17. The Project would violate the stories,height and buffer provisions of the Ordinance quoted above. Vavel's Application and the Board's Decision 18. On or about August 28, 2017, Vavel applied to the Board for a special permit and variances for the Project. 19. On or about October 18, the Board held a public hearing on Vavel's application. It decided as follows: 3 a. It granted a special permit for the Project(the "Special Permit"); b. It granted a variance from the three-story limit to allow five stories(the "Story Variance"); C. It granted a variance from the 35-foot height limit requirement to allow a height of 49.6 feet(the "Height Variance"); d. It granted a variance from the 75-foot buffer requirement to allow a buffer of 53.8 feet between the Project and the Plaintiffs apartment building at 1 Carol Way (the"Buffer Variance"). The Plaintiff's Property and Aggrievement 20. Vinnin has owned the Vinnin Property since November 2015. 21. The Vinnin Property is a parcel of approximately 3.5 acres. It abuts the western boundary of the Site. 22. The Vinnin Property contains a 60-unit residential apartment building. The apartment building is located near the eastern boundary of that property. 23. Vinnin is aggrieved by the Board's decision. The Project would contain two more stories, be approximately 15 feet taller, and be approximately 22 feet closer to its apartment building than is allowed under the Ordinance. It would obstruct tenants' views, block their light, and impair their other values protected by the buffer zone requirement in the Ordinance. It would reduce the value of the Vinnin Property because of these impacts. 24. The Project also would involve extensive blasting close to Vinnin's apartment building, creating a risk of damage to the Vinnin Property. COUNT G.L. c. 40A. & 17—Special Permit 25. The Plaintiff incorporates into this paragraph the allegations set forth above. 4 26. The Special Permit fails to satisfy the criteria in Section 7.1 and Section 9.4 of the Ordinance. 27. The Special Permit is arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, exceeds the Board's authority, and is not in accordance with law. COUNT II G.L. c. 40A. & 17—Variances 28. The Plaintiff incorporates into this paragraph the allegations set forth above. 29. The Project fails to satisfy any of the standards under G.L. c. 40A, § 10 or Section 9.3.2.3 of the Ordinance for any of the variances granted by the Board. 30. No circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape, or topography of the Site, and especially affecting the Site but not generally the R3 Zoning District, support the Story Variance,the Height Variance, or the Buffer Variance. 31. Literal enforcement of the stories, height, and buffer provisions of the Ordinance would not cause Vavel substantial hardship. 32. The variances are detrimental to the public good and nullify and substantially derogate from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance. 33. For all the variances,the Decision is arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, exceeds the Board's authority, and is not in accordance with law. 5 VnMREFORE, the Plaintiff requests that this Court: 1. Annul the Special Permit for the Project; 2. Annul the three variances for the Project; and 3. Grant it such other relief as is just and proper.

A public heating on the above Petition was opened on October 18, 2017 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11 was closed on October 18, 2017 with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair),Tom Watkins,Jimmy Tsitsinos,and Paul Viccica(alternate). The petitioner VAVEL LLC is seeking a special permit per See. 7.1 Mm&faon# Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.2 Mxhifmnily Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development,consisting of twenty (20)units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure. Statements of fact: 1. In the petition date-stamped August 28, 2017, the Petitioner requested a VAVEL LLC seeking a special permit per Sec. 7.1 Mxltijomib Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.1 Mxltijamiy Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20)units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure. 2. The following present the petition:Attorney Scott Grover of Tints, Quinn,Grover and Frey;Peter Pitmman, Principal Architect of Pitman&Wardley Associates LLC;Scott Cameron,Civil Engineer, of Morin-Cameron Group,Inc. 3. The petitioner,Vavel, Inc.,is the owner of the property,which had formerly been used as a child care center. 4. The property is located in an R-3 Zoning District The Salem Zoning Ordinance allows a multi-family development in an R-3 Zoning District, by special permit, for twenty (20) or more dwelling units as allowed by section 7.1 Multifamily Development regulations of the ordinance. 5. The petitioner is proposing to demolish the existing building on the property and to construct a five (5) story building consisting of twenty (20)apartment units. 6. The petitioner is proposing thirty-one (31) parking spaces arranged under the building and within a surface parking area. The petitioner meets the parking requirements by providing slightly more than 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. 7. As shown in the site plans submitted dated, September 20, 2017, some of the existing and proposed surface parking spaces are located off of the privately owned property in an area that is part of the layout of Loring Avenue.The land reserved for the layout of Loring Avenue exceeds the land that was actually used for the road. The petitioner is working with the City to secure a permanent easement to allow the private use of this portion of land for the benefit of providing parking for the proposed development City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 2 of 6 8. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, there are dimensional requirements, parking requirements, and use requirements of this section. In addition to the special permit request to construct a twenty(20)unit building. 9. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development, the allowable lot area per dwelling unit is 1,000 square feet for each dwelling unit The petitioner is proposing a density of 1,250 square feet per unit, which complies with the density requirements of the zoning ordinance. 10. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow a five (5) story structure where the requirements allow a three (3) story structure. 11. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the building height to be 49.6'feet where the 35'feet are required. This height requirement is less than what is allowed in the underlying R-3 Zoning District. The petitioner is proposing a building height of 49.6' feet to allow for the petitioner to locate the required parking under the building. If the Board literally enforced the height requirement for number of stories and number of feet required, there is no feasible alternative location of the parking due to the unique shape and topography of the site. 12. The existing multi-family building on Carol Way has a height of 59.5'feet The petitioner is proposing to construct a multi-family building that is shorter in height than the existing adjacent building. Further, the petitioner is proposing to regrade the site, such that the proposed structure will also not appear to be taller than the existing adjacent structure. 13. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the buffer from the building on the adjacent lot and the proposed building to be less than 75' feet from the existing adjacent structure. The petitioner isP �Po ' g ro a buffer of 53.8' feet from the adjacent structure. 14. The petitioner states that the adjacent apartment building received man dimensional variances to be 1 P 8 Y constructed and the building is located within the 75' foot buffer requirement from the proposed building footprint. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue, and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. Further, if the petitioner constructed the allowable density and maintain the required 75' foot buffer, the building height would be increased. 15. In an R-3 Zoning District,the setback requirements are ten (10) feet from the lot line.There would be twenty (20) feet from structure to structure. In this proposal, the petitioner is proposing fifty-three (53) feet of space. 16. The petitioner states that the proposal fits with the existing character of the neighborhood. The petitioner is proposing to restore the use of the property to fit the intent of the underlying zoning district to provide housing rather than the previous commercial use. Further, the petitioner is proposing twenty (20) dwelling units,where the adjacent residential structure has over sixty (60)units. The proposed height of the building is also shorter than the existing adjacent residential structure. 17. Scott Cameron, Civil Engineer, of Morin- Cameron Group, Inc. presents the existing and proposed site conditions. The parcel is situated back up off of Loring Avenue with a twelve (12) foot grade change from Loring Ave to the site. The site also slopes another additional ten (10) feet.The parking existing parking area has a steep grade change as well, 18. The existing topography, grade changes and shape of the lot all affect the design and height of the proposed building and parking layout City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 3 of 6 19. The petitioner is proposing to utilize the same location of the entrance and exit drive, but plans to propose substantial improvements by creating a more conventional curbcut and narrowing the driveway such that cars cannot utilize the adjacent emergency egress as a way to cut across the driveway. The petitioner would like to separate their proposed driveway and the adjacent emergency egress to improve traffic circulation and safety. 20. The petitioner is proposing to significantly change the slope of the driveway by reducing the glade from a 10-15% slope to a 2.4%slope.The proposed 2% slope on the parking area will go all the way back. 21. The proposed building will be placed five (5) feet lower than the existing structure on the property by re-grading the site and the orientation of the building is not square to the frontage of the property due to the unusual shape of the lot 22. Peter Pitman, architect,Pitman & Wardley Associates LLC-presents elevation plans of the proposaL The petitioner is proposing twenty (20) parking spaces under the proposed building and an outdoor parking area with eleven (11) spaces. The petitioner is proposing 1,200 to 1,500 square feet per unit All of the apartments are two (2)bedroom and two (2)bathroom units. 23. The trash disposal is proposed to be located in the back comer such that a truck can circulate in an out Currently,the dumpster for the existing structure is located along the front of the property. 24. The project proposal is subject to review of the Planning Board and will undergo more rigorous examination as to traffic flow and safety, grading, stormwater management, and civil review. The petitioner is confident in meeting the technical standards of the Planning Board. 25. The mechanical systems will be centrally located on the roof and not be visible from the street 26. The Board expressed major concern about the safety and circulation of the existing wide expanse of asphalt that serves as an egress for 602 Loring and also serves as a fire egress for the adjacent property. 27. The project team plans to continue to design and engineer the driveway to control and facilitate and direct slower traffic. The petitioner is initially proposing a landscaped island to divide this paved expanse to narrow the driveway to twenty-four (24) feet wide. Other mitigations measures are proposed. The petitioner proposed to work with the Salem Fire Department to ensure that the redesigned driveway and fire lane continue to provide adequate fire truck access.Further,the visibility from Loring Avenue will be improved because the petitioner is proposing to reduce some of the ledge along the front of the property. The Board continues to be concerned about the width of the existing driveway and emergency lane and sightlines for a safe intersection between Loring Avenue and the Property 28. Scott Cameron states that proposed apartment trip generation is one of the lowest traffic generators. The anticipated trip generation from these apartment units is five (5) trips per dwelling unit per hour and peak hours are between 6am-1 Oam and 5pm-8pm during the week. It is anticipated that there may be more trips per hour on the weekends,but spread out over the day and peak demand is anticipated around 12pm.The location of this building is in close proximity to shopping and connected walkways that allow people to walk to amenities. Compared to the previous commercial day care use, this residential use generates fewer trips. 29. The Board discusses that there are crosswalks on Loring Avenue located to the right and the left of the proposed residential property. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 4 of 6 30. The petitioner proposes that the stotmwater will be managed by connecting to the City's sewer. If there are additional requirements the petitioner will meet them. The petitioner also plans to conduct soil boring to better understand the stormwater management for mitigation. 31. The petitioner is proposing an easement with the City that is approximately forty (40) feet deep and along the entire length of the property frontage.The petitioner plans to utilize this space for seven (7) parking spaces and also improve this land by cleaning up the overgrowth of the site and some grading adjustments. 32. Tom St. Pierre- Building Inspector, states that the adjacent property needed a second means of providing emergency access to the site. The fire department will have an opportunity to comment on this project through a site plan review. 33. The Board requested that the petitioner also provide ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks through the proposed driveway to continue pedestrian amenities across the redesigned driveway and fire lane. 34. The petitioner states that there will be anticipated blasting on this site. Any blasting activities are regulated by the state and local fire department The neighbors will be notified by the blasting company and inspect properties with a pre-blast survey. Abutters within 300' feet will be notified of this activity. 35. At the public hearing, two members of the public spoke. One member of the public asked questions with no expression of support or objection. A second member of the public spoke in support of the petition. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, makes the following findings: Special Permit Findings: The Board finds that the adverse effects of the proposed use will not outweigh its beneficial impacts to the City or the neighborhood. 1. There are social, economic and community needs served by the proposal as the building is providing new housing units in the City. 2. The existing negative conditions of traffic flow and safety in and out of the site will be improved and the proposed parking and loading are adequate. 3. There will be no impact to the adequacy of utilities and other public services. 4. There will be no impacts on the natural environment,including drainage as the petitioner is proposing to locate parking under the building and reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property. 5. The proposal fits with the character of the neighborhood compared to the adjacent larger buildings and adjacent apartment building. 6. The potential fiscal impact,including impact on City and tax base and employment is positive. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 5 of 6 Variance Findings: 1. Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land, building, or structure involved, generally not affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district is the unusual shape of the property. The property is shaped like a baseball field with the wider part along the frontage of Loring Ave. with a severe taper to the rear of the parcel. The land also has significant grade changes that make the redevelopment of the parcel limited. These physical and unique conditions of this parcel restrict the location of the building envelope. 2. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue,and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. 3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and without nullify or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted four (4) in favor (Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair), Tom Watkins,Jimmy Tsitsinos, and Paul Viccica (alternate) and none (o) opposed, to grant a special permit per See. 7.1 Mmkifamily Development and variances per Sec 7.1.2 Mrrkifamily Development Staadan* of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20) units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure subject to the following terms, conditions and safeguards: Standard Conditions: 1.

The defendant James Hacker is an alternate member of the Board, residing at 4 Mayflower Lane, #4, Salem, MA 01970. 9. The defendant Paul Viccica is an alternate member of the Board, residing at 35 Broad Street, Salem, MA 01970. 10. The defendant Vavel LLC ("Vavel") is a limited liability company with its principal place of business at 16 C Alden Ave, Enfield, CT 06082. Vavel owns the property at 602 Loring Ave, Salem, Massachusetts (the "Site"). 2 The Facts The Site, the Project, and the Zoning Ordinance 11. The Site contains approximately 0.6 acres. It is located in the R3 Zoning District under the Salem Zoning Ordinance (the "Ordinance"). 12. Vavel proposes to demolish the existing building on the Site, re-grade the property, and construct a five-story, 20-unit,multi-family residential apartment building ("the Project"). The Project would be 49.6 feet high. It would be located 53.8 feet from Vinnin's existing apartment building at 1 Carol Way. 13. A multi-family residence in the R3 district requires a special permit under Section 7.1.1. of the Ordinance. 14. Section 7.1.2.2 of the Ordinance states that no multi-family development"shall exceed three (3) stories." 15. Section 7.1.2.2 of the Ordinance states that no multi-family development "shall exceed . . . thirty-five (35) feet in height." 16. Section 7.1.2.5 of the Ordinance states that"[tjhere shall be a buffer zone of seventy-five (75)feet from any building or structure on an adjacent lot where said lot is not under the same ownership." 17. The Project would violate the stories,height and buffer provisions of the Ordinance quoted above. Vavel's Application and the Board's Decision 18. On or about August 28, 2017, Vavel applied to the Board for a special permit and variances for the Project. 19. On or about October 18, the Board held a public hearing on Vavel's application. It decided as follows: 3 a. It granted a special permit for the Project(the "Special Permit"); b. It granted a variance from the three-story limit to allow five stories (the "Story Variance"); C. It granted a variance from the 35-foot height limit requirement to allow a height of 49.6 feet(the "Height Variance"); d. It granted a variance from the 75-foot buffer requirement to allow a buffer of 53.8 feet between the Project and the Plaintiff s apartment building at 1 Carol Way(the "Buffer Variance"). The Plaintiff's Property and Aggrievement 20. Vinnin has owned the Vinnin Property since November 2015. 21. The Vinnin Property is a parcel of approximately 3.5 acres. It abuts the western boundary of the Site. 22. The Vinnin Property contains a 60-unit residential apartment building. The apartment building is located near the eastern boundary of that property. 23. Vinnin is aggrieved by the Board's decision. The Project would contain two more stories, be approximately 15 feet taller, and be approximately 22 feet closer to its apartment building than is allowed under the Ordinance. It would obstruct tenants' views, block their light, and impair their other values protected by the buffer zone requirement in the Ordinance. It would reduce the value of the Vinnin Property because of these impacts. 24. The Project also would involve extensive blasting close to Vinnin's apartment building, creating a risk of damage to the Vinnin Property. COUNT G.L. c. 40A. & 17—Special Permit 25. The Plaintiff incorporates into this paragraph the allegations set forth above. 4 26. The Special Permit fails to satisfy the criteria in Section 7.1 and Section 9.4 of the Ordinance. 27. The Special Permit is arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, exceeds the Board's authority, and is not in accordance with law. COUNT II G.L. c. 40A. & 17—Variances 28. The Plaintiff incorporates into this paragraph the allegations set forth above. 29. The Project fails to satisfy any of the standards under G.L. c. 40A, § 10 or Section 9.3.2.3 of the Ordinance for any of the variances granted by the Board. 30. No circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape, or topography of the Site, and especially affecting the Site but not generally the R3 Zoning District, support the Story Variance, the Height Variance, or the Buffer Variance. 31. Literal enforcement of the stories, height, and buffer provisions of the Ordinance would not cause Vavel substantial hardship. 32. The variances are detrimental to the public good and nullify and substantially derogate from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance. 33. For all the variances,the Decision is arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, exceeds the Board's authority, and is not in accordance with law. 5 WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff requests that this Court: 1. Annul the Special Permit for the Project; 2. Annul the three variances for the Project; and 3. Grant it such other relief as is just and proper.

Dem went and variances per Sec. 7 f y lop c .1.2 Multi ami! Dene p f y lopment Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty2 ( 0) units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure. 2. The following present the petition:Attorney Scott Grover of TindQin. Y Grover and Frey;Peter Pitmman, Principal Architect of Pitman&Wardley Associates LLC;Scott Cameron,Civil Engineer, of Morin-Cameron Group,Inc. 3. The petitioner,Vavel, Inc., is the owner of the property,which had formerly been used as a child care center. 4. The property is located in an R-3 Zoning District. The Salem Zoning Ordinance allows a multi-family development in an R-3 Zoning District, by special permit, for twenty (20) or more dwelling units as allowed by section 7.1 Multifamily Development regulations of the ordinance. 5. The petitioner is proposing to demolish the existing building on the property and to construct a five (5) story building consisting of twenty (20)apartment units. 6. The petitioner is proposing thirty-one (31) parking spaces arranged under the building and within a surface parking area. The petitioner meets the parking requirements by providing slightly more than 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. 7. As shown in the site plans submitted dated, September 20, 2017, some of the existing and proposed surface parking spaces are located off of the privately owned property in an area that is part of the layout of Loring Avenue.The land reserved for the layout of Loring Avenue exceeds the land that was actually used for the road. The petitioner is working with the City to secure a permanent easement to allow the private use of this portion of land for the benefit of providing parking for the proposed development. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 2 of 6 8. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, there are dimensional requirements, parking requirements, and use requirements of this section. In addition to the special permit request to construct a twenty(20)unit building. 9. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development, the allowable lot area per dwelling unit is 1,000 square feet for each dwelling unit The petitioner is proposing a density of 1,250 square feet per unit, which complies with the density requirements of the zoning ordinance. 10. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow a five (5) story structure where the requirements allow a three (3) story structure. 11. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the building height to be 49.6' feet where the 35' feet are required. This height requirement is less than what is allowed in the underlying R-3 Zoning District. The petitioner is proposing a building height of 49.6' feet to allow for the petitioner to locate the required parking under the building. If the Board literally enforced the height requirement for number of stories and number of feet required, there is no feasible alternative location of the parking due to the unique shape and topography of the site. 12. The existing multi-family building on Carol Way has a height of 59.5' feet. The petitioner is proposing to construct a multi-family building that is shorter in height than the existing adjacent building. Further, the petitioner is proposing to regrade the site, such that the proposed structure will also not appear to be taller than the existing adjacent structure. 13. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the buffer from the building on the adjacent lot and the proposed building to be less than 75' feet from the existing adjacent structure. The petitioner is proposing a buffer of 53.8' feet from the adjacent structure. 14. The petitioner states that the adjacent apartment building received many dimensional variances to be constructed and the building is located within the 75' foot buffer requirement from the proposed building footprint. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue, and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. Further, if the petitioner constructed the allowable density and maintain the required 75' foot buffer, the building height would be increased. 15. In an R-3 Zoning District,the setback requirements are ten (10) feet from the lot line.There would be twenty (20) feet from structure to structure. In this proposal, the petitioner is proposing fifty-three (53) feet of space. 16. The petitioner states that the proposal fits with the existing character of the neighborhood. The petitioner is proposing to restore the use of the property to fit the intent of the underlying zoning district to provide housing rather than the previous commercial use. Further, the petitioner is proposing twenty (20) dwelling units,where the adjacent residential structure has over sixty (60) units. The proposed height of the building is also shorter than the existing adjacent residential structure. 17. Scott Cameron, Civil Engineer, of Morin- Cameron Group, Inc. presents the existing and proposed site conditions. The parcel is situated back up off of Loring Avenue with a twelve (12) foot grade change from Loring Ave to the site. The site also slopes another additional ten (10) feet.The parking existing parking area has a steep grade change as well. 18. The existing topography, grade changes and shape of the lot all affect the design and height of the proposed building and parking layout. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 3 of 6 19. The petitioner is proposing to utilize the same location of the entrance and exit drive, but plans to propose substantial improvements by creating a more conventional curbcut and narrowing the driveway such that can cannot utilize the adjacent emergency egress as a way to cut across the driveway. The petitioner would like to separate their proposed driveway and the adjacent emergency egress to improve traffic circulation and safety. 20. The petitioner is proposing to significantly change the slope of the driveway by reducing the grade from a 10-15% slope to a 24% slope. The proposed 2% slope on the parking area will go all the way back. 21. The proposed building will be placed five (5) feet lower than the existing structure on the property by re-grading the site and the orientation of the building is not square to the frontage of the property due to the unusual shape of the lot 22. Peter Pitman, architect,Pitman &Wardley Associates LLC-presents elevation plans of the proposal. The petitioner is proposing twenty (20) parking spaces under the proposed building and an outdoor parking area with eleven (11) spaces. The petitioner is proposing 1,200 to 1,500 square feet per unit. All of the apartments are two(2)bedroom and two (2)bathroom units. 23. The trash disposal is proposed to be located in the back comer such that a truck can circulate in an out.Currently,the dumpster for the existing structure is located along the front of the property. 24. The project proposal is subject to review of the Planning Board and will undergo more rigorous examination as to traffic flow and safety, grading, stortnwater management, and civil review. The petitioner is confident in meeting the technical standards of the Planning Board. 25. The mechanical systems will be centrally located on the roof and not be visible from the street 26. The Board expressed major concern about the safety and circulation of the existing wide expanse of asphalt that serves as an egress for 602 Loring and also serves as a fire egress for the adjacent property. 27. The project team plans to continue to design and engineer the driveway to control and facilitate and direct slower traffic. The petitioner is initially proposing a landscaped island to divide this paved expanse to narrow the driveway to twenty-four (24) feet wide. Other mitigations measures are proposed. The petitioner proposed to work with the Salem Fire Department to ensure that the redesigned driveway and fire lanc continue to provide adequate fire track access. Further, the visibility from Loring Avenue will be improved because the petitioner is proposing to reduce some of the ledge along the front of the property. The Board continues to be concerned about the width of the existing driveway and emergency lane and sightlines for a safe intersection between Loring Avenue and the property. 28. Scott Cameron states that proposed apartment trip generation is one of the lowest traffic generators. The anticipated trip generation from these apartment units is five (5) trips per dwelling unit per hour and peak hours are between 6am-10am and Spm-bpm during the week. It is anticipated that there may be more trips per hour on the weekends,but spread out over the day and peak demand is anticipated around 12pm The location of this building is in dose proximity to shopping and connected walkways that allow people to walk to amenities. Compared to the previous commercial day care use, this residential use generates fewer trips. 29. The Board discusses that there are crosswalks on Loring Avenue located to the right and the left of the proposed residential property. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 4 of 6 30. The petitioner proposes that the stomtwater will be managed by connecting to the City's sewer. If there are additional requirements the petitioner will meet them. The petitioner also plans to conduct soil boring to better understand the stor mwater management for mitigation. 31. The petitioner is proposing an easement with the City that is approximately forty (40) feet deep and along the entire length of the property frontage. The petitioner plans to utilize this space for seven (7) parking spaces and also improve this land by cleaning up the overgrowth of the site and some grading adjustments. 32. Tom St. Pierre- Building Inspector, states that the adjacent property needed a second means of providing emergency access to the site. The fire department will have an opportunity to comment on this project through a site plan review. 33. The Board requested that the petitioner also provide ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks through the proposed driveway to continue pedestrian amenities across the redesigned driveway and fire lane. 34. The petitioner states that there will be anticipated blasting on this site. Any blasting activities ate regulated by the state and local fire department The neighbors will be notified by the blasting company and inspect properties with a pre-blast survey. Abutters within 300' feet will be notified of this activity. 35. At the public hearing, two members of the public spoke. One member of the public asked questions with no expression of support or objection. A second member of the public spoke in support of the petition. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, makes the following findings: Special Permit Findings: The Board finds that the adverse effects of the proposed use will not outweigh its beneficial impacts to the City or the neighborhood. 1. There are social, economic and community needs served by the proposal as the building is providing new housing units in the City. 2. The existing negative conditions of traffic flow and safety in and out of the site will be improved and the proposed parking and loading are adequate. 3. There will be no impact to the adequacy of utilities and other public services. 4. There will be no impacts on the natural environment,including drainage as the petitioner is proposing to locate parking under the building and reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property. 5. The proposal fits with the character of the neighborhood compared to the adjacent larger buildings and adjacent apartment building. 6. The potential fiscal impact,including impact on City and tax base and employment is positive. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project:602 Loring Ave. Page 5 of 6 Variance Findings: 1. Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land, building, or structure involved, generally not affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district is the unusual shape of the property. The property is shaped like a baseball field with the wider part along the frontage of Loring Ave. with a severe taper to the rear of the parcel. The land also has significant grade changes that make the redevelopment of the parcel limited. These physical and unique conditions of this parcel restrict the location of the building envelope. 2. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue, and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. 3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and without nullify or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted four (4) in favor (Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair), Tom Watkins,Jimmy Tsitsinos, and Paul Vicdca (alternate) and none (o) opposed, to grant a special permit per Sec. 7.1 Mukifamily Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.1 Multifamily Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20) units, within 53 feet of an adjacent structure subject to the following terms, conditions and safeguards: Standard Conditions: 1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statues,ordinances, codes and regulations. 2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions submitted to and approved by the Building Commissioner. 3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety shall be strictly adhered to. 4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction. 5. Exterior finished of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing structure. 6. A Certificate of Inspection is to be obtained. 7. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including,but not limited to the Planning Board. Special Conditions: 1. The petitioner shall secure an easement with the City of Salem to allow the private use of this portion of land for the benefit of providing parking for the proposed development 2. All HVAC units shall be located on the roof of the property and shall be screened. 3. The petitioner shall provide recycling at the property and shall provide adequate space for a recycling dumpster.

The fire department will have an opportunity to comment on this project through a site plan review. 33. The Board requested that the petitioner also provide ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks through the proposed driveway to continue pedestrian amenities across the redesigned driveway and fire lane. 34. The petitioner states that there will be anticipated blasting on this site. Any blasting activities are regulated by the state and local fire department. The neighbors will be notified by the blasting company and inspect properties with a pre-blast survey. Abutters within 300' feet will be notified of this activity. 35. At the public hearing, two members of the public spoke. One member of the public asked questions with no expression of support or objection. A second member of the public spoke in support of the petition. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, makes the following findings: Special Permit Findings: The Board finds that the adverse effects of the proposed use will not outweigh its beneficial impacts to the City or the neighborhood. 1. There are social, economic and community needs served by the proposal as the building is providing new housing units in the City. 2. The existing negative conditions of traffic flow and safety in and out of the site will be improved and the proposed parking and loading are adequate. 3. There will be no impact to the adequacy of utilities and other public services. 4. There will be no impacts on the natural environment,including drainage as the petitioner is proposing to locate parking under the building and reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property. 5. The proposal fits with the character of the neighborhood compared to the adjacent larger buildings and adjacent apartment building. 6. The potential fiscal impact,including impact on City and tax base and employment is positive. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project: 602 Loring Ave. Page 5 of 6 Variance Findings: 1. Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land, building, or structure involved, generally not affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district is the unusual shape of the property. The property is shaped like a baseball field with the wider part along the frontage of Loring Ave. with a severe taper to the rear of the parcel. The land also has significant grade changes that make the redevelopment of the parcel limited. These physical and unique conditions of this parcel restrict the location of the building envelope. 2. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue, and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. 3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and without nullify or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted four (4) in favor (Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair), Tom Watkins,Jimmy Tsitsinos, and Paul Viccica (alternate) and none (o) opposed, to grant a special pemrit per Sec. 7.1 Multifamily Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.2 Multifamily Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20) units, within 53 feet of an adjacent structure subject to the following terms, conditions and safeguards: Standard Conditions: 1.

Exterior finished of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing structure. 6. A Certificate of Inspection is to be obtained. 7. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including, but not limited to the Planning Board. Special Conditions: 1. The petitioner shall secure an easement with the City of Salem to allow the private use of this portion of land for the benefit of providing parking for the proposed development. 2. All HVAC units shall be located on the roof of the property and shall be screened. 3. The petitioner shall provide recycling at the property and shall provide adequate space for a recycling dumpster.

A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on October 18, 2017 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, 5 11 was closed on October 18, 2017 with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair),Tom Watkins,Jimmy Tsitsinos, and Paul Viccica (alternate). The petitioner VAVEL LLC is seeking a special permit per Sec. 7.1 Multifamily Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.2 Multifamily Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20) units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure. Statements of fact: 1. In the petition date-stamped August 28, 2017, the Petitioner requested a VAVEL LLC seeking a special permit per Sec. 7.1 Multifamily Development and variances per Sec. 7.1.2 Multifamily Development Standards of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to allow a five-story multi-family development, consisting of twenty (20) units,within 53 feet of an adjacent structure. 2. The following present the petition: Attorney Scott Grover of Tinti, Quinn, Grover and Frey;Peter Pitmman, Principal Architect of Pitman&Wardley Associates LLC; Scott Cameron, Civil Engineer, of Morin- Cameron Group, Inc. 3. The petitioner,Vavel, Inc., is the owner of the property,which had formerly been used as a child care center. 4. The property is located in an R-3 Zoning District. The Salem Zoning Ordinance allows a multi-family development in an R-3 Zoning District, by special permit, for twenty (20) or more dwelling units as allowed by section 7.1 Multifamily Development regulations of the ordinance. 5. The petitioner is proposing to demolish the existing building on the property and to construct a five (5) story building consisting of twenty (20) apartment units. 6. The petitioner is proposing thirty-one (31) parking spaces arranged under the building and within a surface parking area. The petitioner meets the parking requirements by providing slightly more than 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. 7. As shown in the site plans submitted dated, September 20, 2017, some of the existing and proposed surface parking spaces are located off of the privately owned property in an area that is part of the layout of Loring Avenue.The land reserved for the layout of Loring Avenue exceeds the land that was actually used for the road. The petitioner is working with the City to secure a permanent easement to allow the private use of this portion of land for the benefit of providing parking for the proposed development. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project: 602 Loring Ave. Page 2 of 6 8. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, there are dimensional requirements, parking requirements, and use requirements of this section. In addition to the special permit request to construct a twenty (20) unit building. 9. As defined in section 7.1 Multifamily Development, the allowable lot area per dwelling unit is 1,000 square feet for each dwelling unit. The petitioner is proposing a density of 1,250 square feet per unit, which complies with the density requirements of the zoning ordinance. 10. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow a five (5) story structure where the requirements allow a three (3) story structure. 11. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the building height to be 49.6' feet where the 35' feet are required. This height requirement is less than what is allowed in the underlying R-3 Zoning District. The petitioner is proposing a building height of 49.6' feet to allow for the petitioner to locate the required parking under the building. If the Board literally enforced the height requirement for number of stories and number of feet required, there is no feasible alternative location of the parking due to the unique shape and topography of the site. 12. The existing multi-family building on Carol Way has a height of 59.5' feet. The petitioner is proposing to construct a multi-family building that is shorter in height than the existing adjacent building. Further, the petitioner is proposing to regrade the site, such that the proposed structure will also not appear to be taller than the existing adjacent structure. 13. The petitioner is requesting a variance from the provisions of section 7.1 Multifamily Development, to allow the buffer from the building on the adjacent lot and the proposed building to be less than 75' feet from the existing adjacent structure. The petitioner is proposing a buffer of 53.8' feet from the adjacent structure. 14. The petitioner states that the adjacent apartment building received many dimensional variances to be constructed and the building is located within the 75' foot buffer requirement from the proposed building footprint. The combination of the unique lot shape and topographical challenges of 602 Loring Avenue, and the location of the already existing adjacent apartment building hinder the ability for the petitioner to construct a density that the zoning ordinance would otherwise allow the petitioner to achieve. Further, if the petitioner constructed the allowable density and maintain the required 75' foot buffer, the building height would be increased. 15. In an R-3 Zoning District, the setback requirements are ten (10) feet from the lot line. There would be twenty (20) feet from structure to structure. In this proposal, the petitioner is proposing fifty-three (53') feet of space. 16. The petitioner states that the proposal fits with the existing character of the neighborhood. The petitioner is proposing to restore the use of the property to fit the intent of the underlying zoning district to provide housing rather than the previous commercial use. Further, the petitioner is proposing twenty (20) dwelling units, where the adjacent residential structure has over sixty (60) units. The proposed height of the building is also shorter than the existing adjacent residential structure. 17. Scott Cameron, Civil Engineer, of Morin- Cameron Group, Inc. presents the existing and proposed site conditions. The parcel is situated back up off of Loring Avenue with a twelve (12) foot grade change from Loring Ave to the site. The site also slopes another additional ten (10) feet. The parking existing parking area has a steep grade change as well. 18. The existing topography, grade changes and shape of the lot all affect the design and height of the proposed building and parking layout. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project: 602 Loring Ave. Page 3 of 6 19. The petitioner is proposing to utilize the same location of the entrance and exit drive, but plans to propose substantial improvements by creating a more conventional curbcut and narrowing the driveway such that cars cannot utilize the adjacent emergency egress as a way to cut across the driveway. The petitioner would like to separate their proposed driveway and the adjacent emergency egress to improve traffic circulation and safety. 20. The petitioner is proposing to significantly change the slope of the driveway by reducing the grade from a 10-15% slope to a 2-4% slope. The proposed 2% slope on the parking area will go all the way back. 21. The proposed building will be placed five (5) feet lower than the existing structure on the property by re-grading the site and the orientation of the building is not square to the frontage of the property due to the unusual shape of the lot. 22. Peter Pitman, architect, Pitman & Wardley Associates LLC- presents elevation plans of the proposal. The petitioner is proposing twenty (20) parking spaces under the proposed building and an outdoor parking area with eleven (11) spaces. The petitioner is proposing 1,200 to 1,500 square feet per unit. All of the apartments are two (2) bedroom and two (2) bathroom units. 23. The trash disposal is proposed to be located in the back corner such that a truck can circulate in an out. Currently, the dutnpster for the existing structure is located along the front of the property. 24. The project proposal is subject to review of the Planning Board and will undergo more rigorous examination as to traffic flow and safety, grading, stormwater management, and civil review. The petitioner is confident in meeting the technical standards of the Planning Board. 25. The mechanical systems will be centrally located on the roof and not be visible from the street. 26. The Board expressed major concern about the safety and circulation of the existing wide expanse of asphalt that serves as an egress for 602 Loring and also serves as a fire egress for the adjacent property. 27. The project team plans to continue to design and engineer the driveway to control and facilitate and direct slower traffic. The petitioner is initially proposing a landscaped island to divide this paved expanse to narrow the driveway to twenty-four (24) feet wide. Other mitigations measures are proposed. The petitioner proposed to work with the Salem Fire Department to ensure that the redesigned driveway and fire lane continue to provide adequate fire truck access. Further, the visibility from Loring Avenue will be improved because the petitioner is proposing to reduce some of the ledge along the front of the property. The Board continues to be concerned about the width of the existing driveway and emergency lane and sightlines for a safe intersection between Loring Avenue and the property. 28. Scott Cameron states that proposed apartment trip generation is one of the lowest traffic generators. The anticipated trip generation from these apartment units is five (5) trips per dwelling unit per hour and peak hours are between 6am-10am and 5pm-8pm during the week. It is anticipated that there may be more trips per hour on the weekends, but spread out over the day and peak demand is anticipated around 12pm. The location of this building is in close proximity to shopping and connected walkways that allow people to walk to amenities. Compared to the previous commercial day care use, this residential use generates fewer trips. 29. The Board discusses that there are crosswalks on Loring Avenue located to the right and the left of the proposed residential property. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 1,2017 Project: 602 Loring Ave. Page 4 of 6 30. The petitioner proposes that the stormwater will be managed by connecting to the City's sewer. If there are additional requirements the petitioner will meet them. The petitioner also plans to conduct soil boring to better understand the stormwater management for mitigation. 31. The petitioner is proposing an easement with the City that is approximately forty (40) feet deep and along the entire length of the property frontage. The petitioner plans to utilize this space for seven (7) parking spaces and also improve this land by cleaning up the overgrowth of the site and some grading adjustments. 32. Tom St. Pierre- Building Inspector, states that the adjacent property needed a second means of providing emergency access to the site. The fire department will have an opportunity to comment on this project through a site plan review. 33. The Board requested that the petitioner also provide ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks through the proposed driveway to continue pedestrian amenities across the redesigned driveway and fire lane. 34. The petitioner states that there will be anticipated blasting on this site. Any blasting activities are regulated by the state and local fire department. The neighbors will be notified by the blasting company and inspect properties with a pre-blast survey. Abutters within 300' feet will be notified of this activity. 35.

The Zoning Ordinance requires the minimum depth of the rear yard to be 30 feet. The current depth of my rear yard is 32 feet;the proposed addition would reduce the depth of the rear yard to 22 feet.) See Statement of Grounds Attached For this reason I am requesting: X Variance(s)from provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Zoning Ordinance,specifically from height of building and buffer from building on adjacent lot (i.e. minimum depth ofrear yard). What is allowed is 3573 stories, 75'buffer (ft?sgft?stories? %?), and what I am proposing is 49.675 stories; 53.8'buffer (ft?sq ft?stories?%?).

STATEMENT OF GROUNDS The petitioner,Vavel, Inc., is the owner of the property at 602 Loring Avenue,which had formerly been used as a child care center. The petitioner is proposing to demolish the existing building on the property and to construct a five story building consisting of 20 apartment units. There will be 31 parking spaces, the majority of which will be located beneath the building. Multifamily Development is a specifically recognized use which is authorized by grant of a Special permit from the Board of Appeals under Section 7.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 7.1.2 establishes a series of standards for the issuance of such a special permit,the majority of which are met or exceeded by the petitioner. However, there are two requirements that the proposed redevelopment of this site cannot meet. First,the height of the building may not exceed thirty-five feet or three stories, while the proposal is to construct a five-story building approximately 49.6 feet in height. Second, any building located on the site is required to be at least seventy-five feet away from any building on an adjacent lot, and in this instance,the distance between the buildings is 53.8 feet. On the grounds set forth below,the petitioner is requesting a variance from these two standards. The special permit requires a determination by the Board of Appeals that the adverse effects of the proposed use will not outweigh its beneficial impacts(Section 9.4.2). The criteria the Board should consider in making such a determination include community needs, traffic flow and safety, adequacy of utilities and other public services, neighborhood character, impact on nautral environment and fiscal impact on the City. As we know from recent studies,there is a significant need for rental housing projected in the City, which this project will help to satisfy. The traffic impact of a residential use is far less than the former commercial use and parking is provided in excess of the requirements under the Zoning Ordinance. There are adequate utilities serving the site and multifamily residential use is entirely consistent with other similar uses in the area. Finally, the increase in tax revenue to the City from redeveloping this site will be significant. The requested variances require a finding by the Board that there are special conditions that affect this site and that those conditions would create a substantial hardship to the petitioner if the terms of the Ordinance were strictly enforced. In this instance, the land at 602 Loring Avenue has multiple characteristics that make redevelopment of the site challenging. The land is very irregular in shape and has significant changes in contour. Also,there is a large amount of ledge affecting the property. These conditions significantly restrict the location of any building on the site. Due to the limitations on the location of the building, a literal enforcement of the dimensional standards from which relief is sought would create a substantial hardship to the petitioner by depriving him of the opportunity to achieve a reasonable density that is consistent with the terms of the Ordinance. The use of this property for a small apartment building is entirely consistent with the intent of the Ordinance and could be granted without any detriment to the public good. For the reasons set forth above, both the special permit and variances are appropriate and should be granted by the Board. CENTURY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY 11164 TINTI, QUINN, GROVER& FREY, P.C.
