This letter has been prepared on behalf of Richard Curley, of 16 Riverbank Road, Salem. Mr. Curley has asked me to address regulatory issues relating to a proposed addition to his home. Attached for your reference is a plan prepared by Bay State Surveying Associates of Beverly. I have visited the site and confirmed the accuracy of the taped measurements. In the course of my site visit, I also confirmed the limits of salt marsh and bordering vegetated wetland. In both instances, the closest wetland resource area lies across a paved road, in excess of fifty feet from the proposed activity. The Wetland Protection Regulations provide an exemption `for the conversion of lawn to uses accessory to existing single family houses in existence on August 7, 1996' [ref 310 CMR 10.58 (6)(b) 5.]. This exemption is made with the provision that such activity must occur more than fifty feet from the annual high-water line or BVW. A catch basin is located in Sunset Road, near the westerly lot comer, adjacent to Lot 42. It would be advisable to provide a few sandbags to protect the basin from any siltation during construction. The same thing could be accomplished with a short piece of silt fence along the edge of the sidewalk on the Curley property. If you wish to meet at the site to discuss the matter or to verify the conditions, let me know. Sincerely, fJohn .

I 48 Hathorne Street, Salem Massachusetts 01970 March 19, 2002 Salem Conservation Commission Attn: Donald Cefalo 120 Washington Street Boxford,NIA 01921 Dear Commission members:, This letter has been prepared on behalf of Richard Curley, of 16 Riverbank Road, Salem. Mr. Curley has asked me to address regulatory issues relating to a proposed addition to his home. Attached for your reference is a plan prepared by Bay State Surveying Associates of Beverly. I have visited the site and confirmed the accuracy of the taped measurements. In the course of my site visit, I also confirmed the limits of salt marsh and bordering vegetated wetland. In both instances,ces the closest wetland resource area hes across a paved road, in excess of fifty feet from the proposed activity. The Wetland Protection Regulations provide an exemption `for the conversion of lawn to uses accessory to existing single family houses in existence on August 7, 1996' [ref: 310 CMR 10.58 (6)(b) 5.]. This exemption is made with the provision that such activity must occur more than fifty feet from the annual high-water line or BVW. A catch basin is located in Sunset Road, near the westerly lot comer, adjacent to Lot 42. It would be advisable to provide a few sandbags to protect the basin from any siltation during construction. The same thing could be accomplished with a short piece of silt fence along the edge of the sidewalk on the Curley property. If you wish to meet at the site to discuss the matter or to verify the conditions, let me know. Sincerely, John G. Dick, P.L. .
