RE: 11 Essex Street
Dear Mr. Hacker:
On January 8, 1987 the Planning Board determined, by a unanimous
vo-e; tha` a substantial change has been made in the plan of the
petition for 11 Essex Street which was denied by the Board of Appeal on
November 19, 1986.
The Planning Board respectfully suggests that the Board of Appeal
consider the following suggestions intheirdecision:
1 . Preventing vehicles from backing onto Essex Street by creating
diagonal parking spaces, angled in a southwesterly direction forcing
vehicles to exit onto English Street rather than Essex Street. _
2 . The dwelling be owner—occupied.
If you have any questions regarding these suggestions, please feel
free to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
lc�ct�.tex,B. `�o2uec ,1
