RE: Jerome D. Dubrow, Trustee
Vacant land - Loring Avenue, Salem/corner Maple Avenue
Dear Mr. Munroe:
Please be advised that I represent Howard Clickstein who desires
to purchase the above premises and construct a single family
dwelling thereon. In order to constitute a buildable lot, the
premises in question has to conform to the six part test to come
under Chapter 40A, Section 6.
1. Does the lot have at least 5, 000 square feet and 50 feet
of frontage on an improved street? Yes - this lot has 100 feet
of frontage on Loring Avenue and 99. 65 feet of frontage on Maple
Avenue. The total square footage of the lot is 9,981 square
feet. (2 lots combined, actually - see plan enclosed) .
2 . Is the lot located in an area zoned for single or two
family use? Yes - the lot is in an R-1 district.
3 . Did the lot conform to existing zoning when legally
created? Yes - the lot was created in 1893 which predates the
zoning laws of the City of Salem.
4 . Does the most recent instrument of record prior to the
effective date of zoning change from which the exemption is
sought, August 27 , 1965, show that the lot was separately owned?
Yes - the lot has been separately owned since September 15, 1945.
5 . When conveyed after the zoning change, has the lot
retained its separate identity by continually being described as
a separate and distinct lot? Yes - the lot has always been
described as a separate and distinct lot from its creation until
the present time.

6. Has the lot been a separate lot and not available for
use in connection with adjoining land on the effective date of
the zoning requirements, August 27, 1965, which made the lot
substandard or more substandard? Yes - the lot in question was
commonly owned by Annie Rice, together with other lots on Maple
Avenue until September 14 , 1945. The lot in question has had no
common ownership with other contiguous lots since that date.
Since the answer to all questions above is "yes", the lot in
question is entitled to grandfather protection under Chapter 40A,
Section 6.
Enclosed you will find the following in support of the above:
1. Plan of land;
2 . All deeds in chain of title from 1923
to present;
3 . Copy of deed of abutting land
If you require any more documentation to show compliance with the
above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
GILMORE AND WALSH
