Hacker, Chairman A COPY OF THIS DECISION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE CITY CLERK DAVID H. GOODMAN MARIAN L. AHEARN 11 ANDREW STREET SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 01970 October 15 , 1986 City of Salem Board of Appeal One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Sirs : We are writing concerning the petition by Nile Shipka and Kathleen Teetsel for a Variance and/or Special Permit to allow an existing two family dwelling to be converted to a nine room bed and breakfast at 35 Pleasant Street . Due to circumstances beyond our control we may be unable to attend .tonight ' s meeting . We sincerely hope that the Board will consider our sentiments with as much or more weight as if we were at tonight ' s hearing . We are owners of 11 Andrew Street. Our property abuts the rear of 35 Pleasant Street . We may be the only owner occupied abuter to the property. We have appeared before the Board on numerous occasions to oppose uses . increasing the density of an already too dense neighborhood . In two and 1/2 years we have seen within the vicinity of Andrew Street the following : • The construction of a four unit condominium, • The conversion of a two family dwelling into three condominium units, • Permission by the Board for a roofing company to expand its facilities, and • Permission by the Board to convert a two family dwelling into a clinic for cats . During this period the Board has already allowed the establishment of two multi room bed and breakfasts . As a neighborhood, we feel we have already absorbed more than our share of growth and development . We are especially opposed to the granting of a variance. First with the state attempting to apply the hotel and restaurant tax to bed and breakfasts granting a variance may permanently establish this property for hotel and/or restaurant use . Secondly, there is no financial hardship in this case . If the petitioners have the wherewithal to start a new business (and a nine room bed and breakfast is a new business) then pleading financial hardship is much like the man throwing himself to the mercy of the court as an orphan when he has killed his parents. Before granting a Special Permit to the petitioners we most strongly urge the Board to consider the legacy they are leaving this neighborhood. We do not know the petitioners, and no doubt they are good caring people. But with two bed and breakfasts already on the common, we have no guarantees that this one will succeed. Then do we have ownership by a bank or an absentee owner? Do we have a conversion into a tenement or multi unit condominiums? While this property has sufficient space to allow for off street parking , we hope the Board will recognize that parking problems are not the only symptom of too much density in a neighborhood . Ours has been a rapidly changing neighborhood. We urge the Board will hear our pleas to keep it a residential neighborhood. Sincerely, C)l Cl ?
