SALEM. MASS. 01970 June 119 1983 Mr. James Hacker, Chairman Board of Appeal One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 rear Mr. Hackers Over the past several months, at your request, the Salem Historical Commission has worked with Mr. Hobert Maguire in review of ppoposed designs for th4r development of condominiums at 256 Lafayette Street. Liming that time, several designs were proposed, and the Commission had an opportunity to consider them and the response of interested neighbors to them. The outcome of that process, plans presented by Mr. Maguire's architet Favid Jaquith on May ll, represents a general design concept sensitive to the architecture of the neighbor- hood eighborhood and to which the Historical Commission gives unanimous approval. As you ]mow, the section of Lafayette Street in question possesses an excellent collection of architectural expressions of the Victorian ppv% period in a highly visible $alem location. The Maguire/Jaquith proposal calls for relocation of AkwenAwftagaphrked carriage house from behind the "Gothic Cottage" at 260 Lafayette atreet to a location at the front of the site. This would place it adjacent to the Ween Anne residence it copies and for which it was built. New construction, sensitive to the Victorian mode, would be to the rear of the carriage house. This plan, rather than intruding upon the Victorian elements in the area, would repeat them and carry them through this important section of Lafayette Street. Driveway entrance from Laurel Street should be carefully landscaped to maintain the quiet residential feeling of that street. Specifically, then, the Commission would make the following comments 1. The Historical Commission unanimously approves the general concept for the development of 14 condominium units in the relocated carriage house and new construction to its rear. 2. This approval is strictly contingent upon periodic review by the Commission oa all design decisions and/or revisions prior to the beginning of construction, including restudy of the finistration of the new units (windows. balconies. French doors). 3. Approval is also contingent upon Commission ,jurisdiction over siAe development and landscaping including the sensitive Laurel street entrance. 4. Fartherg the Commission must * assured that the architect will follow the project through the construction phase. 5. Finallyr approval is contingent upon the successful rehention of the carriage house. Should the carriage house be found unsound or any further complication to its retention be discovered, this approval is null. The Commission hopes thberfthOrdill be helpful to you in your deliberations. Ne are most appreciative of your sensitivity to the architectural issues involved and your recognition of the crucial importance of design review for a project of this nature on Lafayette Street. Very truly yours. Hacob S. Uolfson Chairman Jswlebw c.c. Robert Maguire GPD{ - y�"' of �alent, C�llMssac4usE##s 1 �4 E 1, a ��I�tttuittg �aarl �t1P �'.�IPltl �CPPII Pray 24, 1983 Mr. James Hacker, Chairman Board of Appeal One Salem Green Salem, MIA. 01970 Dear Mr. Hacker: The Planning Board has discussed at length the matter of Mir. Robert Maguire 's proposed development on the site of the former Ives Greenhouse property on Lafayette Street and wishes to comment on the proposal. Originally, Mr. Maguire came before the Planning Board on March 28, 1983. At that time he was proposing a development of eighteen units with a facade the Planning Board felt was incom- patible with the streetscape . Following a lenghty discussion as to overall density and architectural features of the surrounding neighborhood, the Planning Board requested several modifications in the plan: Since the overall density of the area is approximately 2500 sq. feet per unit, if Mr. Maguire's development was kept at fourteen units , the resulting density would be 2900 sq. ft. , which would be compatible with the neighborhood. The Planning Board also suggested that Mr. Maguire engage an ar- chitect to investigate various facades which would be more com- patible with the existing neighborhood. Mr. Maguire met next with the Planning Board on May 19, 1983 • At that time , he brought us up to date on the various changes he had made on his plans, as well as his discussions with the Historical Commission. The Planning Board is quite pleased with the resulting development. The density will be kept at 2900 sq . ft, per unit. In addition, the flan to move the carriage house to the front of the property will help insure the architectural integrity of the neighborhood. Further, the design features of the new units , as well as their facades will further enhance the prevailing archi- tecture of the neighborhood. It should be noted that with the new design, there is adequate parking space for twenty-eight cars which, as you know, exceeds -2- what is required by our zoning ordinance . Improvements he has made to the overall plan, including landscaping and other buffering devices , should minimize the impact of the development on the neigh- borhood. The Planning Board has found the on-going discussions with the developer to be a worthwhile planning tool. Although the Board was hesitant about this project in the beginning, the de- veloper has met each of our objections with a suitable change. The Planning Board feels that this would be a worthwhile addition to the City. Sincerely yours , Walter B.

To the best interest of the A/C units, Condo Owners, Dealer which the warranty falls under, and the installation people, it would not be adv Gable-to pub hese-un�a.ts in that_axea.-�____._ The piping that would have to be done would be put underneath the pavement of the parking lot, which could cause leaks in the pipes, and make the machines not work to there full capacity, or even work at all. The repair cost would be high.-as you would have to pull up the pavement in order to get to the pipes. I do recommend that we install the A/C Condenser Units to the side of the building, resting on concrete pads where the piping run would be short and close to the Air Handlers that will be located inside the building.

Com'-3U (J, June 4, 1987 Mark Barons & Dave Zierhoffer Middlesex Contracting Co. 74 Loomis Street P.O. Box ',50 Bedford, MA 01730 Re: 256-260 Lafayette Street Dear Sirs: It has come to the attention of the Salem Historical Commission that there are certain important discrepancies between the plans for 256-260 Lafayette Street and the actual work already done at the site. Some of these discrepancies the Commission has decided to let be. These include the lack of proper trim around the sliding doors, the reversed nature of the clapboards (smooth side should be to weather), and the willingness to accept diagonal lattice underneath all porches instead of the vertical boards that are called for in the plans. The discrepancies that the Commission feel are too important to be overlooked are: / 1. The arched windows on gable ends at rear of building. The applied muntins should be removed from the inside, and the fan patterned clapboards above one of the windows should be replaced with straight, horizontal clapboards. 2. The railings on all porches and stairs - left elevation and rear. David Jaquith is going to draw up a modified design for the rail system. We would like to see a small section of rail fixed with David's design solution.' At that time we will decide whether to have you do all the rail this way and paint them white, or just have you paint the rails white. This will include the rail on the six family building in the rear. 3. The dormer windows - left elevation. Underneath these windows, a trim board the width of the fascia should be applied. Also, the far left dormer should have a trim board applied above the window as well, to be width of other two sides of the triangle that will be formed. 4. Vertical boards planned for underneath all porches. As said before, the Commission would accept lattice installed diagonally with trim of appropriate width. i - 2 - G� 5. Chimneys. The Commission felt very strongly that chimneys should be dismantled down to below the corbeling, and then rebuilt to the height and / design called for in the plans. You should also know that at least one of the chimneys is most likely in violation of the 10-2 rule of the building code. 6. The cement pad for heat pump/A.C. - left elevation. This is unacceptable �;. to the Commission and unless there is no way that this can be placed in 5�- the rear with other heat pumps, this will not be approved. 7. The free standing building - rear-right. This is an otherwise bland building, and the stepped window treatment and trim band called for in r"r^� the plans are very important to the building's character. The plans should be followed here. 8. Whole right elevation - on this side, the plans seem to be completely 5 ignored. The windows are out of scale and in the wrong places, there is nol fanning on the gable ends,there is no trim around the windows, and doors, A and the railing does not match. David Jaquith will be drawing up a design solution, which if approved by the Board, should be implemented. j �9. Walkway--zxightelevat3on.=The cement walkway shown in plans has been V// left out and-should be poured. . A0.=The Carriage House. a. The turret composing the right hand rear corner should have rail around top to match rail over front bay. b. The new door on right elevation has platform and rails which should be treated the same as the ones discussed in 412. c. Front stair base. David Jaquith will draw design solution; which if passed, should be implemented. 11. Old House (Russian's House) a. The electrical entry and meters must be moved. This is a museum condition house and to have something like this visible is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. b. If any transformer is put in, the Commission must first have a drawing to show where it will be placed. The design will be considered unacceptable unless placed in the most inconspicuous part of the lot. / c. The trim around the new doors on the right elevation and at the rear / must be expanded to match the doors' scale with the rest of the VVV building. d. The window on the first floor left elevation that is still not installed % should be double hung 6 over 6 to match the window to the left. V - 3r Gentlemen, through the appellate court decision concerning the variance received for this property, the Salem Historical Commission had its jurisdiction expanded to include final design review for the whole project. It is my understanding that Debra Hilbert explained to both of you when you took over the project, that the plans approved by the Historical Commission must be followed exactly. The list above is the Historical Commission's consensus on the changes needed to bring about the final approval by the Commission. Without this approval, it is extremely unlikely that the units will receive their Certificates of Occupancy. Thank you for your coopertion in this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at 745-9595 ext. 311. Sincerely, Kent Healy Preservation Planner M25WP cam. Salem Historical Commission CITY HALL. SALEM. MASS. 01970 744-4580 May 15, 1985 Mr. Walter Power III Planning Board City of Salem One Salem Green Salem, MA 01970 Dear Mr. Power: At its meeting of April 3, 1985, the Salem Historical Commission reviewed a preliminary site plan by Lafayette Real Estate Trust for 256-258 and 260 Lafayette Street. Based on the plan presented at that meeting, the Commission approved the relocation of the carriage house from Laurel Street to Lafayette Street with the provision that it be set back six feet further from Lafayette Street than shown on the site plan. While the Commission approves the concept of the project as a whole, we have strong reservations about the treatment of the Gothic Cottage at 260 Lafayette Street. Not only is this house unique in Salem, there being no other examples of its style and type surviving in the city, but it is also one of the most outstand- ing Gothic Revival dwellings in New England. Because of this extraordinary archi- tectural significance, the Commission has stated that it will not approve any exterior alterations to this structure. We are also very concerned about the pro- posed development of the cottage into five condominium units. We feel that this many units will require extensive interior alterations which will destroy a good deal of the building's original architectural fabric. Under these circumstances, we feel that the Planning Board and the Board of Appeal have a unique opportunity to protect this very special building. The Historical Commission, therefore, hopes that as a condition of granting the variance and special permit, no more than two units will be allowed at 260 Lafayette Street. We would also like to request that the special permit be contingent upon the His- torical Commission reviewing all exterior changes and new construction, including landscaping, at both 256-258 and 260 Lafayette Street.
