RE: Petition for Salem Housing Authority for a Comprehensive Permit to
construct twelve housing units on First Street.
Dear Jim:
As requested by the Board of Appeal , I have reviewed the proposal
by the Salem Housing Authority to construct twelve subsidized housing
units on First Street. I would recommend the Board of Appeal grant the
requested permit with the following conditions:
1. A detailed landscaping plan, defining the type, size, amount , and
caliper of landscaping should be subject to the review and approval of
the Planning Department. It is very important that the site be properly
landscaped and screened from both the street and the abutters to the
north.
2. A drainage plan for the site, particularly as it impacts the
abutting parcels, should be submitted for review and approval of the
Planning Department. There is a large drainage basin which runs next to
the Housing Authority site. It will be very important to make certain :
that this drainage flows in a fashion which is not detrimental to land
parcels at lower elevations.
3. Parking spaces for the project should be a minimum of 9' in width
and 20' in length, and should be shown on a plan; and a minimum of
eighteen (18) such spaces should be provided and shown on a plan.
4. The exteriors of the buildings should be wood shingles.
5. A lighting plan for the development should be submitted for the
review and approval by the Planning Department.
6. A designated snow storage area should be delineated on the plan at
the end of the cul—de—sac. This area should be located such that melted
snow will drain away from the cul—de—sac and access driveway to avoid
any possibility of icing.
Mr. James Hacker, Chairman April 29, 1985 Page 2
7. Concrete curb stops in the parking area as shown on the plan should
be adequately anchored.
8. Pathways from both the access driveway and parking spaces to the
buildings should be stone dust.
9. The Salem Fire Protection Code regarding blasting shall be strictly
adhered to (M. G. L. C. 148, s. 10A and 527 C. M.R. 13 .00) . Any
blasting or drilling which may be necessary shall be limited to the
hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. , Monday through Saturday.
Assuming that such information will be provided in a satisfactory
manner, I would recommend that the petition be approved. We all
understand the need to provide subsidized housing within the City, and
this proposed project will allow us to address that need.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Mr. Hacker:
RE: Petition of the Salem Housing Authority for a Comprehensive permit
to construct six buildings, each containing two units at First Street
(R-3)
The Planning Board has reviewed the petitions to be heard before
the Board of Appeal at their next meeting and would respectfully request
that the above—referenced petition be continued.
While the Planning Board understands that the comprehensive permit
process allows the Board of Appeal to grant one permit for construction
of public housing in lieu of a more lengthly permit process, neither the
Planning Board nor the Planning Department have reviewed the proposed
plan in detail and would like to do so prior to issuance of the
Comprehensive Permit.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this petition.
Sincerely yours,
