Mr Eames moved to deny the petition. Mr. Abbott asked why. Mrs. Lundregan stated that because this parcel is zoned industrial she did not feel that the Board had the authority to add additional residential uses. Mr. Eames answered Mr. Abbott's question as to his reason for denying that there was insufficient parking and no hardship. Mr. Bowes on hearing the discussion informed the Board that Mr. Rice would be willing to forego the apartment over the retail store in Building B, which would eliminate two of the required parking spaces.

X15 Northey Street; Unit#3 Salem, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Tremblay: You may recall that we spoke on the phone on October 22, 1996, at the suggestion of Ginny Moustakas of the City of Salem Board of Health, concerning my efforts to care for a complaint of a front window leak by my tenants Kevin and Kim Spause at 15 Northey Street, Unit#3, Salem, Massachusetts. Per your suggestion, I called Mike Bouchard from Bouchard Construction in Peabody. Mr. Bouchard inspected the window on October 23, 1996. He hosed the window and the front of the building down and said it seemed that the leak had been stopped and that he saw no water leaking into the unit. He suggested all I might do is to recaulk the casing seam as well as the pediment after three or four dry days. I have not heard from the Spauses since doing these things and I hope that any problems there may have been have been resolved. A copy of the invoice from Bouchard Construction and my letter to Ginny Moustakas is enclosed. Ve ruly yours, are iardi St Street Marblehead, MA 01945 cc.

As you know, the Spauses' have indicated that this front window leaks when it rains. On the second day of our past nor'east storm, 1 had D& H Contractors over during the storm and Michael Shapiro from that company inspected the front window on Monday, October 21, 1996 and they told me that the window was tight and that they found no leaks to the window and that the area around the window was dry. However, he told me that he saw that the rug below the window was wet. His only suggestion was for me to do some caulking around the exterior flashing above the window. 1 had a laborer, Donald Orne, do this the next day. We then spoke and you suggested that I call Leo Tremblay, the Salem Building Inspector for his assistance as to this window, which I did. I spoke to him and he suggested that I contact Mike Bouchard from Bouchard Construction in Peabody. I called him and Mr. Bouchard inspected the window on October 23, 1996. He hosed the window and the front of the building down and said it seemed that the leak had been stopped and that he saw no water leaking into the unit. He suggested all I might do is to recaulk the casing seam as well as the pediment after three or four dry days. I have not heard from the Spauses since doing these things and I hope that any problems there may have been have been resolved. A copy of the invoice from Bouchard Construction is enclosed. Also enclosed please find a copy of my letter of September 22, 1996 to Joanne Scott of your office, as well as invoices for work performed by me in response to your department's notice to me dated September 20, 1996. 1 believe that I have cared for each item contained on your checklist within the times allotted therein.
