Dear Owners:
This department has received several complaints regarding your property. The
complaints contend that there too many people living in your home.
Your home is located in an R-1 district. The City of Salem Zoning regulations only
allows family members and one non-related person to occupy one house.
Please contact this office within ten (10) days upon receipt of this letter to discuss this
matter.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,

RE: 6 Mooney Road, Salem, MA
Dear Mr. Harris:
I have asked to render an opinion as to whether the property
located at 6 Mooney Road in Salem is a legally buildable lot.
Based on information I have received, 6 Mooney Road consist of a
lot in excess of 9, 000 square feet and has over 100 feet of
frontage. This lot was in existence prior to 1965 and it has not
merged since that time with any other lot.
Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of General Laws,
Chapter 40 A, Section 6, 6 Mooney Road is a buildable lot.
Because it consists of over 5, 000 square feet and has over 50 feet
of frontage, it is grandfathered as buildable.
Thank you for your attention.
Very truly yours,
Kevin T. Daly,
City Solicitor

DEPARTMENT POLICY
GRANDFATHER LOTS REQUIREMENT
In order to determine whether a lot qualifies for the separate lot protection
found in Chapter 40-A, Section 6, MGL, the following must be answered in
writing by our legal council.
1. Does the lot have a least 5,000 square feet and 50 feet of frontage
on an improved street?
2. Is the lot located in an area Zoned for single or two family use?
3. Did the lot conform to existing Zoning when legally created?
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 awned ?
5. When conveyed after the Zoning change, has the lot retained it's separate
identity by continually being described as a separate and distinct lot?
6. Has the lot been 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 ?
To be entitled to Grandfather Protection under the Provisions of Chapter 40-A
Section 6, MGL, a yes answer is required of all the above.
