RE : Petition of Dr . & Mrs . Witkov for a special
permit and/or variance to use 3 rooms on the
first floor to run a veterinary hospital and
a portion of the basement for hospitalized
animals at 135 Loring Avenue (R-2 District)
The Planning Board has carefully reviewed the request and ask that
that it be denied as being a serious violation of our Zoning Ordinance
which only allows such activity in a B-4 zone under special permit.
To allow this to be established in a R-2 area would set a precedent
which would undermine the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
We suggest that the variance be denied.

RE: ANIMAL HOSPITAL
I
In reference to the petition from Dr. and Mrs. Witkov to open an
animal hospital at 135 Loring Avenue, Salem, I can only point out to you
some of the problems I have encountered with the present animal hospitals
and shelters located within the confines of Salem.
i
(1 ) The New England Veterinary Clinic, 204 Highland Avenue,
Salem, is located approximately 500 years from the closest
residential neighborhood (Mooney Road) . Over the past
years, 1 have received several calls from the neighbors
regarding the early and late night barking--keep in mind
the homes were built well after the kennel , and this was
explained to the residents.
(2) The Lager Animal Hospital Inc. , 4 Paradise Road, is also
approximately 500 yards from its nearest resident. It also
has had several complaints logged in regard to the barking }
animals.
(3) 1 would also look into Chapter 140, Section 137A "Kennel
Licenses". If they. plan to hold dogs at 135 Loring Avenue
this would constitute applying for a kennel license.
In closing I would say that due to the close proximity of the nearest
abutter on Loring Avenue, if boarding of dogs is permitted , you will find
that barking complaints will be issued to this office resulting in further
legal action.
It is my opinion that this is a poor choice of a location for the type
of business that is proposed. If I can be of any further assistance to you
or the neighbors in this matter, kindly contact me.
