Sincere Peter Strout Director of Public Property Cc: John Keenan Councillor Hayes, Ward 6 DRAFT May 10, 1999 The Honorable Stanley ]. Usovicz Salem City Hall 93 Washington Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 RE: Disposition of City-Owned Property Dear Mayor Usovicz: City Planner Craig Wheeler and Building Inspector have identified the following parcel as property appropriate to be disposed pursuant to Code of Salem Ordinances, Section 2-1633. (See attached letters from City Planner Wheeler and Inspector Strout and pertinent provisions of City Ordinance). For the record, this parcel was so identified back in April 1983 by Director of Public Services Anthony Fletcher and Director of Public Property Richard McIntosh. (See attached copies). At this time, abutters of this property have expressed interest in purchasing same. The Code does provide that"In specific instances, the city may choose to sell a land parcel to an abutter, despite the fact that such abutter is not the highest bidder, if the city believes that the sale of such land to an abutter will provide the use most compatible with the surrounding neighborhood."Section 2- 1635(b)(6) Description of Property: 10 Phillips Street (Assessor's Map 16, Lot 0278) Lot 2 as shown on Plan of Land in Salem, dated December 13, 1984" Essex South Registry of Deeds, Bk. 193, Plan 89. (attached). Zoning:R-1 District;No Buildings Present. Lot 2 consists of t 6,360 sq. ft. with 77 feet of frontage on Phillips Street. The Zoning Ordinance (ARTICLE VI, Table 1) requires a minimum of 15,000 sq. ft. in the R-1 District. It is suggested that Lot 2 be subdivided (vertically) into two equal parcels of ±3,180 sq. ft. Abutters on either side of these parcels have Page Two of Two May 10, 1999 Mayor Usovicz RE: Disposition of City Property expressed interest in acquiring same. Pursuant to the Ordinance, all abutters will be notified of the city's intent to sell the property. For various reasons, this parcel has been before the City Council several times since 1983, during both the Levesque and Salvo Administrations. It was referred to Committee on Community Development on March 10, 1988. At this time, your approval and the approval of the City Council is sought in order to proceed with disposal of these two undevelopable parcels (3,180 sq. ft. each) through sealed bids pursuant to Section 2-1635(b). Thank you for your attention to this matter. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Very best regards, John D. Keenan, Esq. JDK/kjm Enc. cc.

McIntosh Director of Public Property City of Salem One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Re:—Land at 10 Phillips Street, Salem Dear Mr. McIntosh: Please be advised that the City Council authorized the sale of the above land on May 12, 1983. I am enclosing a copy of the vote for your records . Lots 1, 2 and 3 have a combined area of 14 , 872 square feet. Various individuals. have expressed an interest in these combined lots far in excess of the $12 ,954. 00!minimum price authorized by the City Council. In the interest of obtaining the highest possible price for the City, the Mayor has asked me to refer the matter to you for a public auction. Since the land has already been authorized for sale, the City Council policy for sale of City-owned lands does not apply. However, I believe that it would be in the best interest of the City to follow that policy as closely as possible with res- pect to advertising the land for sale. It should be noted that lots 3 and 4 are not to be included in any auction, as the Mayor wishes to sell the same to the respective abutters for the authorized price. It is also the Mayor' s wish that the abutter to lot 2 be granted a five-foot sewer easement over lot 2.

Salvo City Hall 93 Washington Street Salem, MA 01970 Dear Mayor Salvo: Please be advised that this office represents Raymond Young of Salem, Massachusetts, who owns real estate at 12 Phillips Street, Salem, Massachusetts, which property abuts 10 Phillips Street, which is owned by the City. In or about February, 1987, Mr. Young notified the City, through the Planning Department, that there was a concrete tank containing hazardous waste located primar- ily on 10 Phillips Street. Over the last year and a half, Mr. Young has attempted to remove this hazardous and dangerous situation, but the City has failed to cooperate. In particular, Mr. Young has attempted to negotiate the purchase of the prop- erty, remove the hazardous material and clean up the site, but to no avail . At this point, the City's delay tactics and failure to cooperate have cost Mr. Young substantial sums of money and have left both Mr. Young, and the City to a larger extent, exposed to significant liability. We now demand the tank and the j; hazardous material be removed immediately and the site cleaned up. Kindly respond within seven (7) days of receipt of this letter as to your intent as to this property. Very truly yours, ,L MarY69- K MPH:jf cc : Raymond Young Gerard Kavanaugh, City Planner '''.

PELECHOWICZ REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED ATti127PHILLIPS-STREET\ (R-1) A hearing on this petition was held July 26, 1995 with the following Board members present: Stephen Touchette, Chairman; Gary Barrett, Albert Hill, Nina Cohen and Arthur LeBrecque. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Petitioner, owners of the property requests a Variance from side setbacks to construct a deck and a pool for the property located at 12 Phillips Street. (R-1) . The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of this Board that: 1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other land, buildings, or structures in the same district. 2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner. 3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogation from the intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance. The Board of Appeal, after careful considerations the evidence presented at the hearing, makes the following findings of fact: 1. There was no opposition to the petition. 2. The proposed location of the deck and pool is the only location that will allow for access to the rear yard. 3. The granting of this petition will enhance the quality of life for the petitioner. On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the hearings, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: 1. Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property and not the district in general. 2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substation hardship to the petitioner. 3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to public good and without nullifying and substantially derogating from the intent of the district or purpose of the ordinance. o- DECISION OF -::E PETITION OF STEPHEN J.
