Dear Owner,
This Department received and investigated a complaint regarding the salvaging of metals from
used appliances. We did find a few appliances in the comer of the yard. Any kind of a business
use is not allowed in a Residential zone. Also, the release of Freon gas, to salvage the copper
coils from air conditioners and refrigerators, is illegal under State of Mass D.E.P regulations.
If you have any questions please contact this office directly. If you wish to Appeal the Zoning
interpretation, your appeal is to the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals.Thank you in advance for
your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests,
guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding
