Box 8608 Salem, Massachusetts 01971-8608 Mr. James Hacker May 12, 1907 Chairman, Salem Boa d of Appeals One Salem Green Salem,Massachusetts 01970 Dear Mr. Hacker: The Board of Directors of the Salem Common Neighborhood Association opposes the granting of any special permits or vwiances to allow a bed and breakfast or any commercial use of this beautiful single family home at 25 Washington Square Horth. The following five point policy statement on 20rung and planning has been approved by a unanimous vote at our general meeting on IYIay 12, 1907. Statement on Zoning and Planning T w Salem Common Neighborhood Association believes the folio virg points and urges their careful consideration and use by the City of Salem and its agents,especially the Board of Appeals and the Planning Board,in the course of their deliberations: 1. That the residential character of our neighborhood be maintained with no additional non-conforming commercial uses being permitted. 2. That the existing R-2{Residential,two-family}zoning and density requirements be maintained and enforced. 3. That the parking congestion and traffic problems in our neighborhood be considered in all future plaxuwve and development. 4. That landscaping such as lawns and awes and streetscapes including facades and fences are important to the quality of life in our neighborhood and should be encouraged, enhanced,respected and maintained. 5. Thai the historical nature of our neighborhood be encouraged,respected and maintained. With reference to the above points, we specifically object to a special permit or variance being granted on the grounds that this represents a cornrnencial venture in a R-2 residential neighborhood and that this venture would increase parking congestion and traffic problems. Providing valet parking will not prevent all parking and traffic problem that will occur. In fact,rhe mere presence of guests corning and going to a lodging facility will exacerbate the severe parking and traffic woes that already exist in this heavily congested neighborhood. We trust that you will give your usual careful consideration to these concerns when making your decision. Sincerely, The Board of Dirwctms Michael A. Johnso President.
