However, when I asked them last night if they would be willing to reconsider a waiver, all three seemed willing to consider a new application if you did more to the plan (i.e. a plan that falls somewhere between Morris's and your compromise plan). I still can't guarantee that you can get two of the three votes to switch, so it is up to you. I would need your application by June 28th to get on the July 5th agenda. Please note that if you need to go back to ZBA, then the next ZBA agenda you can get on is 8/16. Jane Jane A. Guy Asst.

We met you at the site and you were present during our walk-through evaluation of the existing structural conditions. The referenced property is a residential neighborhood in the"Salem Willows"portion of Salem,MA. It appears that the two-story timber framed structure at the front portion of the residence,nearest Sutton Avenue, is the original portion of house. Based on our field observations of the framing, it appears that a timber framed addition was subsequently constructed on the rear of the"original"house at some later time. The following is a summary of our findings and is the professional opinion of this Office and is based on our field observations of the conditions of the existing building structure at the time of our visit and our professional structural engineering experience: President: Allen M.Lieb,AIA/IIDA I We observed significant differential settlement in the majority of the Principals: "original"portion of the residence. This differential settlement was Mark W.Barrell,NCABB Donald L.Peach,P.E. y apparent arent from both the exterior and interior of the house. The settlement is clearly visible at the exterior wrap-around covered porch on the front and two-sides of the front portion of the house,at the timber floor framing of both the First and Second Floor levels of the "original"portion of the house as well as in the basement area and 50 Salem Street crawl space under the house. Based on our observations of the Building 8 differential settlements in the porch and floor in combination with the Lynnfield,MA 01940 condition of the portions of the foundation(i.e.timber posts)exposed 1):781.246.0111 1:781.246.1991 ~.11ebarcldlects.com to view,it is the professional opinion of this Office that the foundation system of the`original"portion of the house is in a state of structural failure and must be replaced in its entirety. We observed timber posts supported directly on rock and some supported directly on soil with no footings. At the newer"addition'portion of the house we observed concrete masonry unit basement infill walls that have no spread footings under them. Replacement of the existing failed foundation system under the house will be very costly because it will require that you retain a specialty contractor(i.e. a structural building mover)to jack the existing building structure up off the existing foundation and temporally support the entire building on steel beams and timber grillage to facilitate the demolition and removal of the existing foundation system and excavation of soil as required to construct a new cast-in-place concrete foundation system,consisting of cast-in-place concrete foundation walls and spread footings. The house would then be lowered back down onto the new concrete foundation system once they have been completed. 2. The existing timber floor framing(beams and joists)at the First and Second floor levels, besides having significant differential settlements as previously discussed, is structurally deficient and inadequate to support the current Massachusetts State Building Code Floor Live loads(i.e. 40 pounds per square foot on the First Floor and 30 pounds per square foot for the Second Floor bedrooms). In addition,the existing floor framing at both floor levels exhibit significant and excessive deflection under the weight of a person standing at mid- span. To bring the floor framing up to current Building Codes and eliminate the excessive deflections will require complete reframing of both floor levels. 3. The original exterior bearing wall framing is also structurally deficient and inadequate to support the combined floor and roof loads. It appears that the existing bearing wall framing in the house will need to be structurally reinforced, augmented and reframed to provide adequate load bearing capacity. 4. The existing roofing materials are in a state of failure. Many holes were observed in the roofing materials and the roof sheathing that has allowed the penetration of rain water into the Second Floor of the house. Based on the appearance of the roofing,the roof has been leaking for an extended period of time. In the several areas where the roof framing was exposed to view we observed areas of deteriorated and rotted timber roof framing and mold was observed—all of which indicate high-moisture contents within the building. Once the existing Second Floor ceilings are removed we would expect many additional areas of rotted timber roof sheathing and roof framing members to be found. Reframing of portions, if not all of the existing roof will likely be required. In general,it is the professional opinion of this Office that the existing building foundation system is in a state of structural failure and must be replaced in its entirety. The majority of the timber roof, floor and wall framing is structurally deficient and will need extensive repair and reframing. Based on our field observations, it is the professional opinion of this Office that the existing foundation and timber framing systems(i.e. the building structure),in their current condition,are beyond reasonable economic repair and a complete demolition and rebuild of the house and foundation is the most cost effective solution. We trust that this report meets your needs at this time. Please discuss this report with your Architect and if either of you need further or additional structural engineering services please do not hesitate to call or email our office.

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community. 7 Sutton Avenue is one of the most architecturally distinctive buildings surviving in the Salem Willows , a richly detailed example of the Stick Style . It is a 1 1/2-story cottage with a cross-gable plan, and is clad in wood shingles and board and batten siding (second story, front wing) . Its dominant decorative feature is the use of pierced , narrow vertical boards in arched arrangements between porch supports and at each gable end . A one-story porch wraps from the facade down both side elevations ; it features a crossed balustrade . The house has a center entry flanked by small diamond-paned windows . A secondary entry exists on the northeastern elevation . The second story at the facade features an elongated , paired window . To the rear is a one-story ell . HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community. The Perry House is representative of the late 19th century development of summer cottages at the Salem Willows . Alice B . Perry purchased the land for $350 in 1878 from developer , Daniel Gardner , and in 1880 her husband , William F . Perry requested a building permit for a wooden dwelling on Sutton Avenue . However , it is unclear whether that building permit applied to this house , as Perry owned other lots at Salem Willows . The Perrys still owned the property in 1897 , along with number 9 next door . He was a publisher , and their principal residence was at 4 Broad Street , Salem. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Richards .
