SUBJECT: Pierce Road(Ward 7)House lot
Attached is a copy of my September 26,2002 letter to Salem Building Inspector
Thomas St. Pierre expressing my opposition to the construction of a one family residence
on a 6700 square foot parcel of property on that portion of Pierce Road which is a paper
street.
I checked on this issue with Building Inspector Thomas St. Pierre who advised me, I
believe correctly so,the above captioned lot must have frontage on an improved
public street (Salem Zoning Ordinance Article 11 See 2-2.) which this lot, recently
acquired at auction, does not have.
I would be opposed to any additional residential development on Pierce Road and at
that lot in particular.
Please keep me advised of your research.

FROM: Joseph A. O'Keefe, Sr.
Councillor Ward 7
SUBJECT: Pierce Road(Ward 7)
Several residents of Buchanan Road(Ward 7)contacted me yesterday about the recent
auction of a 6400 square foot parcel of property on Pierce Road. They are concerned
about future use of that lot which would abut their property at the rear. Pierce Road at
parcel is a paper street.
I was not the councilor when the issue of proposed development of two house lots was
advanced. I need to bring myself up to speed on this issue.
While I familiarize myself with documents, decisions,findings of fact, etc. on this
issue please alert me to any inquiries/actions from the new owner(s)of this lot on any
proposed residential development there. I would be opposed to any additional residential
development on Pierce Road and at that lot in particular.

RE: Salvo - Pierce Road, Salem
Dear Attorney McGregor:
I am writing this letter as a follow-up to your meeting with the Salem Planning Board on
the application of the Salvo's for approval of a Definitive Subdivision Plan and a Wetlands
Special Permit to allow the construction of two(2)single family dwellings on Pierce Road. At
the public hearing,the Board raised several questions and requested some additional information
from you.
The main question raised by the Board was what are you considering as your,frontage for
the two lots in question. Joseph Carter submitted a letter to the Planning Board dated November
4, 1996, stating that he has scaled out the frontage on Loring Avenue to be 55 feet. This
response does not answer the question raised by the Board. The Board would like to have the
answer to this question prior to their site visit which is scheduled for Saturday,November 16,
1996, at 3:30 P.M. If this information cannot be provided to the Board before that date,the
Board will postpone their site visit until this question can be answered.
The other issues raised by the Board to be addressed at the site visit are as follows:
-What is the distance from the isolated wetland area to the house proposed to be occupied
by Timothy'and Amy Salvo?
-Flag the edge of wetland area,to the upland side behind the proposed houses.
-Stake the centerline of the roadway and the house locations.
/next
Page 2
In addition, the Board would like to have answers to the following questions before our
regularly scheduled meeting on November 21, 1996:
-Where is the seasonal high water table in relation to the first floor elevation?
-What is the level of the ground water table?
-Provide drainage calculations and general review of drainage calculations by Joseph
Carter.
-What is considered as the access for proposed development?
-Include Waiting's house on the plan.
-Address the adequacy of the proposed driveway.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. If you have any questions regarding these
requests,please do not hesitate to contact our staff assistant, Assistant City Planner Beth Debski
at(508) 745-9595, ext. 311.

RE: Salvo - Pierce Road/Loring Avenue, Salem
Dear Chairman Power:
This letter is. in response to your 11/12/96 letter to my
Attorney, Gregor McGregor.
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the question raised
regarding frontage. . In followup to your question, my brother,
Tim, and I met with the Leo Tremblay, Building .Inspector, this
morning. According to Mr. Tremblay both lots have adequate
frontage . on Pierce Road.
Mr. Tremblay recommended that Lot #316 convey an easement/right-
of-way to Lot #317 and have it recorded .with the Registry of
Deeds .
In a telephone conversation this afternoon between Tim and Mr.
Tremblay, Mr. Tremblay stated that he had met with Beth Debski
and forwarded the above information to her .
I hope this satisfies your concern and will go forward with the
site visit on Saturday, November 16 at 3 : 30 pm.
Sincerely,
Joyde P. Salvo 0
