Dear Sir or Madam:
We are Perry and Julie Goutzos of 16 South Street, Salem, MA.
With our growing family we find ourselves in need of more living
space. For this reason we are applying for a variance.
Our three children, Alexa 9, Christa 7 and Stephen 4 are firmly
Established in the Salem school system. Myself and my husband
are life long residence of Salem and would like to continue to raise
our family here. We have made many improvements to our home
and we would love to continue living in this neighborhood, but we need
more space. Do to the topography of our property we need to build front to
back leaving us three feet from the street. Therefore, we must apply for
a variance to complete this addition. Thankyou for your consid-
eration.
Sincerely,
Perry Goutzos and Julie Goutzos
26 June 2002

renovation plans.
