Therefore, a violation letter has not yet been issued. The City Solicitor's Office requested that the Commission first try again to work with the developer on a resolution. 3/21/2012 Jane Guy From: Jane Guy Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 8:42 AM To: 'Larry Spang' Subject: RE: 60-62 Washington Square Hi Larry, Apparently the faux chimney was not constructed well enough to carry the load of the additional brick and the owner's engineer(?) feels it might not survive an extremely strong wind (which is why they took off the bluestone cap) ... so I'm thinking it does not matter how strong the roof is unless we can also find a way to add more bricks to the chimney itself. So does it appear to you that the only options are to leave it at the current height (along with the proposed 9" brick corners)... or... completely rebuild it from the roof up to the taller height? Can you ascertain from the old and current photo, how much shorter the current chimney is from the old chimney? Thanks! Jane A.

I was sort of expecting that you'd be at the site walk-thru last weekend so could review it then - hadn't remembered that you tend not to go on those. Anyway, it's a bit of an interesting problem. Putting an additional piece of structure in the chimney to support the top is quite a difficult (and expensive) thing to do. They should be able to lay additional courses of brick on the top of the existing brick so long as the roof framing is sufficient to carry the load of the additional brick. If not, then they'll need to add some reinforcing to the roof. I can show you quick sketch in person. Also, not sure if I'll be at this coming hearing on the 15th. I'm scheduled to take my son to Brown for interview so not sure if we'll be back in time. Let me know if you need me for a quorum and I can review schedule with him. Otherwise I'll come to the hearing if we're back. L Laurence S.

It is really the owner's call on whether he wants it to be a working chimney or not. This has been a somewhat difficult development-the owner did several things without approval and a few times had to come in asking for forgiveness after getting caught. This has not sat well with some members. They feel the faux chimney should have been built sturdier so it would replicate the original (the owner actually wanted to completely remove the chimney, but he got denied). There is also a very difficult neighbor who adds fuel to the fire. Thanks for taking a look at this :) Jane A.

Spang, AIA, LEED AP I Associate Principal Arrowstreet 212 Elm Street Somerville MA 02144 Main 617.623.5555 1 Cell 617.921.8769 spang@arrowstreet.com I www.arrowstreet.com See what's happening atArrowstreet on our website, www.arrowstreetlive.com From: Jane Guy [mailto:JGuy@Salem.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 8:38 AM To: Larry Spang Cc: Jessica Herbert Subject: 60-62 Washington Square Hi Larry, In October, 2010, the Commission issued approval for the chimneys at 60-62 Washington Sq. to be repaired or replaced in kind (conditional that existing be documented photographically prior to commencement of work, which was never done). It was known that the chimneys would be replaced as faux chimneys. Once completed, some Commission members felt that the rear chimney had been reconstructed shorter than the original. Shortly thereafter, due to leaking, the developer applied to alter the faux rear chimney in December, 2011. He claimed that his engineer advised against having a bluestone cap on top of the faux chimney. He since took off the blue stone cap as well as the 4 brick corner extensions. However, in response the Commission voted to add l' of brick course and an additional 1' of brick extensions on the corners... but to eliminate the blue stone cap and instead have a light weight metal flat cap in matte black. The developer has now offered a new option -which essentially includes only 6-9" of brick extensions with a flat metal cap.... and he does not want to have to come to another meeting (and he has since sold all the condos). I have told him that he can either proceed with what was already approved or apply with a new application to alter it. I have attached pics (#361, #363 &#567) of the current chimney (which he has capped supposedly temporarily until the issue is resolved). We never got very good pics of the original chimney, but I have scanned the only decent one I have (60-62wash.jpeg). I believe the old chimney was leaning a bit, but I do not know in which direction. I also had David take a current photo from the same angle as the old photo, to try to compare the height(60-62 chimneys.key.pdf). I am wondering if there is a way to get the chimney finished as was approved(in red above) by inserting some kind of metal frame/sleeve inside the existing chimney, that would hold a metal plate that the 2' of brick would sit on, without it really sitting on the faux chimney. There is also a plumbing pipe coming up through the chimney, so there would need to be a hole in the plate. Since there would be a flat metal cap on top of the brick extensions, someone looking down from a neighboring house would not be able to see into the chimney to see that it is a separate piece. Not being an engineer, I don't know if this is feasible - particularly how the bricks would stay on the metal plate and whether mortar between the existing bricks and the plated bricks could be added in between to achieve the look that it is all one piece. Ideally, we would like a solution that achieves what was approved to keep this from going back to another meeting. If not, can you suggest a solution that gets as much height as possible(so we can satisfy the one angry neighbor and the few unsympathetic commission members, and not require the developer to rebuild the entire chimney -which he would likely refuse to do). Maybe hearing a fresh prospective from you might get this project resolved. 2/15/2012 • i Any thoughts? Thanks! Jane A.

Therefore, they cannot discuss the alternative outlined in your email.

I-First of all the design that we discussed doesn't work.After consulting with my team, raising the height of the chimney 2 feet- 1 foot built up and 1 foot by brick steps at the corners is not practical. In light of the framing of the new chimney which currently exists, going up another foot is not possible as the frame is built for the current height. 2-There were questions of how high the original chimney was compared to the new one. I checked with my mason and in fact his dog did get the phone as I thought.He assured me it was slightly shorter-less than a foot. Remember, we had discussed this last Spring and everyone was OK with the new height.Please drive by again and look at the rear chimney-it is huge and stately.Whether it is 6 or 8 " shorter means absolutely nothing except to Andrew. Again we agreed on this height back in the Spring. 3-Remember, this structure was dangerously weak and leaning. It had a large, old style TV antenna perched at the top, probably there for many, many decades. This has historic relevance? I wonder if anyone had complained to the former owners about this? 4-The tone of the Commission is adversarial. Most members have an angry tone and continue to be upset with me and influenced by Andrew's incessant badgering. You continue to listen to his 1/11/2012 insanity. This building has gone through a complete renovation and updating and you should be happy but rather until the end, there is not any flexibility. 5-It is so ironic that he has this holier than thou attitude as he lives in an old, deteriorating aluminum sided house with vinyl replacement windows. It's the the ugliest building around the area.There isn't a trace of historic significance on his building. Listening to him, one would think he lives in a gorgeous, historic property.His concern for historic preservation is laughable as his home is one step above trailer home quality.He has a personal vendetta that is unexplainable. 5-I am willing to do the design whereby we build up the 4 corners with brick and a metal covering at the top as discussed. I just cannot raise the height of the chimney by a foot.Using the brick at the corners will get us app 9inches. 6--The wiser and handsomer choice is to treat the rear chimney as the 2 upper chimneys. It would look great. My opinion. 7-I am no longer affiliated with the condominium association legally as all units have been sold and occupied but I would like to resolve this. There is a minor leak there that will be resolved by putting a metal sleeve/cover over the top of the chimney-copper or otherwise. I will be proceeding with that. Let me know if you agree with the design we came up with minus raising the chimney height a foot or treating the rear chimney as the 2 upper chimneys. 7-I will not be attending anymore meetings. I find them too distasteful and unproductive. You can discuss this issue and let me know what your decision is. I would appreciate that.

As part of our investigation of existing conditions we reviewed the rebuilt wood chimney. We observed minor flex in the chimney as it is currently built. The chimney's current height in combination with the chimney's small footprint creates a slender structure. Increasing its height will increase the wind loading on the structure and increase the deflection/flex which would be detrimental to the chimney structure. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you require additional information. pSincerely, /l Michael Oerham, PE Structural Engineer/Managing Member 10-263 Washington Square South Condos Chimney LetterPage I of I 1 a� 3 YP_ 1 w.wwr� Wl' / 14 S • 1 r r Jane Guy From: Jane Guy Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 11:22 AM To: 'rbt3678@aol.com' Subject: RE: 60-62 Washington Sq South The Commission's violation policy does not provide for fines.

Here's the update. There were some fine cracks in the new rear chimney and some leaking although the roof is new. It was a curious problem with everything being new. I brought in an engineer to review the chimney. He told me that the top plate was too heavy in light of strong wind conditions. He thought it was potentially dangerous. He encouraged me to model the rear chimney the same as the upper chimneys (with caps) which I want to do . We also sealed the brick with a special masonry coating to address the leak. I wanted to wait through several heavy rains to make sure we got it right. Looks like we are good now. How shall I proceed?

If you look to the left you can see an 'oversized" chimney in the distance with a brick cap and on the right you can see an another one; both identical to the chimney in question. These were very characteristic of the neighborhood and there are a few remaining ones in Salem Common area. I would think that the mission of the Historic Commission would be to preserve what remains in the architectural skyscape of 1 the neighborhood. Just to remind the board members, none of the promises for any of the chimneys to be in kind has been enforced and I frankly blame shoddy workmanship for the current so-called leJ problems.(Plywood, Brickface, See below) It is interesting to me that the size of many of these au brick structures were never affected by wind for hundreds of years as Mr. Legon blames for short the one to be addressed on December 7th. I also wonder what other surprises are inside the current structure (ie: more ventpipes)that could exposed if it is removed or"reconfigured."

In reading the minutes I see that the promise was to have the chimney completed in one week. The duct tape wrapping was removed and it seemed work was done on the chimney for leakage but the top part was left off. This was a significant piece of history with this chimney and I wonder what the intention is now.. to leave it as is?? We are coming up to one year and the chimney is left incomplete and not in kind. Previous minutes documented that the height was shorter because of the wind load. The chimney was originally constructed to clear the upper roof as it is on the lower roof. There is no possbility that a real working chimney could be that short with those dynamics. I have had people ask how that chimney could exist without clearing the upper roof and I was not allowed to make a public comment when the question of height was raised by Ms. Herbert. Maybe Plywood and brickface was not the way to go in the original construction of the replica if wind was considered an issue; which fmakly I highly doubt. The fact that the condos (except one) have been sold should not alleviate Mr. Legon of responsibility for this particular issue. The applications were made by him, not the present owners.

They have had to go through a process of elimination to find the cause of the leak and the problem has now been solved. The Commission has jurisdiction over paint colors,but does not have jurisdiction over storm windows. While the Commission advises that storms be the same color as the sash or trim,on those few occasions where someone has added storms that were a different color,the Commission has not taken any action. Nevertheless,the Commission has asked me to put a letter in the file so that in a few years from now when the house needs repainting,the Commission can ask the condo association to match the sash and storm window colors. -Jane Jane A.

How long, as the abutting neighbor, will we have to be looking at a duct tape wrapped "Faux Chimney" which is the one in the rear. I was told months ago by the new owner of the unit below the chimney that it is leaking and that Mr. Legon will be "repointing" it. It remains wrapped and looks hideous. Also, months ago all the windows had brown storms covered them which I do not recall receiving any notification of an application submitted for this to be approved. I recall alot of discussion made to have the originals installed as they were with no mention of these covers being included. What was the point of requiring these original windows to be maintained if brown storms were to be installed? It completely changes the look of the building.

Why was the original motion changed to one swoop from two step-downs without formal approval at a subsequent meeting??? Mr.Hart made a motion to approve a 6'solid cedar Northeastern Fence&Supply Corporation's Melrose fence(height including the lattice)along the rear property line,with two step downs at Washington Sq.East,conditional that a scaled drawing be provided to delegated Commissioners Hart and Keenan for approval of details of the termination at street,including height and length of step downs,as well as proportion of lattice to fence for the entire fence. The finished side of the fence is to face to the neighbors. Fence to be unpainted. Ms.Bellin seconded the motion,all were in favor and the motion so carried. Ms. McCrea abstained from voting In regard to Ms. Herbert's statement below on June 4th, the fence may "look good"from the street but I suggest she experience what it is like trying to get out of our driveway as compared to before the fence was constructed. We feel the commission has allowed for Mr. Legon's agenda to be accommodated without consideration of safety for the abutting neighbor and the community. Ms.Herbert replied in the negative. She stated that the fence has been approved and looks good and she did not think there were any other issues.

The post at the sidewalk to be slightly higher than the"swoop", which will be four feet above grade at the sidewalk. While the rest of the six foot high fence will have a 12 inch lattice section at the top, the"swoop" section will have a fence cap at the top.

This is an important issue and should be a determining factor in how they vote this week. If you do not remember the commission ever approving something like this in the Historic District than the writing should be on he wall. (in other words, such vents do not belong in the Historic District on a chimney that was to be in kind) Caps I feel are also not appropriate or relevant as they are not real chimneys and there is no need for cap to camouflage what should not be there. If a screen that one cannot see to keep animals out that is understandable but it should be BELOW the chimney line. Painting or some other alteration of these vents should also not be considered acceptable as the vents will still be visible and frankly will still look ridiculous. There is no reason for the contractor to not go through the slate roof for vents.

I would need to be provided with the actual addresses to determine if they are even in the historic district(most of Washington Sq. E is not in the district). I do not recall reviewing a similar vent request in the past, but would need to check the address files that are within the district to be certain. I would also have to check if the"vents"were put in before or after the district was formed.... and, if after, if by the current owner. If the properties are in the district and the vents were put in after the district was formed without Commission approval, the Commission would need to decide if they want to pursue them as a violation. Typically, if a homeowner does something in violation and the property has since changed hands without the Commission having noticed the violation, they tend not to put the burden on the new/current owner. As I see it, for 60-62, the Commission will need to weigh a few factors, such as ... the chimneys did not have vents prior and were therefore not rebuilt in kind as required..... if the Commission hasn't ever noticed the vents in the other nearby chimneys, are those at 60-62 noticeable enough to deny.... if denied, where would alternative venting go(i.e. through the roof) and would that alternative venting be a better alternative than inside the chimneys. The Commission could also approve a chimney cap(many homeowners have come before the Commission to install chimney caps and the Commission has routinely approved them). With regard to the rear chimney, the Commission will also need to determine whether or not to enforce what was approved .. or allow it to remain as built. -Jane Jane A.

I am wondering if it is relevevant that the "buildings with similar vent structures"that Mr. Logon is referring to may not have been formally approved by the commission. Do you know if they were?? Mr. Legon stated that the vents in the chimneys are actually air exchange vents to feed the HVAC system as an option to venting through the slate roof. He provided pictures of several buildings at that comer with similar vent structures and stated that they are very common. He stated that he is willing to paint them. Also, I happen to like the way the rear chimney came out but I know there is a chimney near the Essex St. Library that is exactly the same with the old height. It would be nice for it to remain in kind to replicate what was there; Height also which adds to it's uniqueness. (Question 4)Is the new rear faux chimnev the same height as the original?— Answer: MAYBE I FT SHORTER AS IT WAS UNNECESSARILY TALL. Mr. Legon stated that his structural person, regarding the height of the rear chimney with consideration to the wind load, advised him to reduce the height of the rear chimney. He stated that it is exact to what is there but lower.

CAN BE PAINTED. DO NOT COME IN. (2)Do you plan to repair and paint the'fish-scale wood shingles' above the front portico and on the side of the house at the bay windows? Are you planning to paint them in the white trim color, or in a gray slate color to define them as roofing and not trim? LIKE YOUR IDEA OF PAINTING THEM THE GRAY SLATE COLOR (3) Where do you plan to locate the A/C compressors vs. the A/C vents? RIGHT REAR SECTION OF BUILDING, ALMOST HIDDEN IF NOT TOTALLY (4) Is the new rear faux chimney the same height as the original? MAYBE 1 FT SHORTER AS IT WAS UNNECESSARILY TALL.

MI.101 M Page 1 of 1 Jane Guy From: Lewis Legon [lall912@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 7:06 PM To: Jane Guy Subject: from Lewis Legon Hi Jane, I have been thinking about the porches at Washington Square and don't believe I have a shot with the Commission so you should take me off the agenda for the next meeting-Feb 2nd. Three members said they would not support it so the odds are stacked against me.Not worth spending the $$ on renderings, architects, etc. It's unfortunate but that's what we have. Porches there would be both a terrific touch and greatly appreciated by customers. Too bad.There is precedence for porches in the area but I guess the Commission sees it otherwise. As far as the deck on the other side of the building that we discussed,you had said that Essex Street is not a Historic Street and therefore views from there wouldn't/shouldn't stop me from an Historic perspective.This is the only way you could see the deck. Is this correct? My understanding is that now it is just a zoning board issue, if I chose to move forward. Please confirm. Thanks Regards, Lewis 2/1/2011 J � RE( .
