The pumps are to be replaced, and this will be completed within two weeks. This process has been longer than expected because the manufacturer has had to refurbish the pumps completely. The garage door in the rear of the building has also been sealed and locked as to ensure no animals or trespassers can enter the building.

JENNINGS P.EQUESTING F AItIANCE FOR 7 SUMMIT AVENUE A hearing on this petition was held on October 20, 1982, with the following Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. Piemonte, Hopper and Feeherry. Notices of the hearing were sent to abutters and others and a notice of the hearing was published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 401A . The Petitioner has requested a variance for the property at 7 Summit Avenue to convert the existing two-family dwelling at the site to a three-family. A variance is required because the proposed conversion is not permitted in an R-1 zone where the property is located. (See prior decision of this Board) . The Board of Appeal, after consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing and after viewing the property makes the following findings of fact: 1) Petitioner's proposed conversion of the property into a three-family dwelling was unanimously opposed by all abutters. 2) Petitioner's proposed conversion will have an adverse impact on parking problems in the area because the site has inadequate off-street parking. 3) The property has been in violation of existing zoning for a substantial period of time.: On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes.as follows: 1) The property in question is not in any wav unique. Rather, it is a type of structure which is found throughout the surrounding area. 2) Petitioner failed to establish any conditions which affect the property in question, but not the zoning district generally. 3) The Petitioner failed to establish a hardship as required by Chapter 40A to support a variance. 4) The desired variance may not be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. More specifically, the grant of the special permit would be contrary to the single-family residential character of the area. Therefore, the Board of Appeal unanimously voted in opposition to granting the requested relief. The Board unanimously denied a variance to the Petitione . App_ - r^,!' t - CF: . a = n rr.

She stated that she wanted to add an electrical and gas meter. When she bought the house in 1977, she bought it as a three family which is in conformity with the rest of the neighborhood. She stated that in 1975 the owner got a special permit to make a stairway. The owner did get a permit from the Building Inspector but did not go before the Board of Appeal. Mr. John Hamilton stated that .he was in favor and could not see how an additional gas or electric meter matters. Mr. Donald Bixby of 6 Eden Street for 60 years, was in opposition of the petition. He stated that in the notice it was to adequately define the dwelling, but there was never a public hearing to make it'a .three apartment dwelling. Physically, there are small rooms with the top floor only 2/3 of the length of the first and second floors. There was never a rear exit. The third floor was used as extra bedrooms. A couple of years ago for 6-12 months, there was a problem with college students when the McGuire Boys owned it. They had 9 vehicles all over everyone's lawns and garbage all over. Once the property was owner occupied, everything was okay. Absentee landlords create a problem. He was concerned if Ms. Jennings sells and gets an absentee landlord. Mr. Feeherry inquired what the, use is now and. if there are any problems. Mr. Bixby stated that there was no ( problems now but maybe in the future. He stated that in: 1973 two families; 1974 two families; 1975 just one family; 1976 three families were living there. He stated that in 1976 someone was living on the third floor but only 2 doorbells. Mr. Bixby also stated that there is a 2 car garage with no cars in it. There is a boat in it, own by a non-tenant who makes a lot of noise. He stated that there was no rear exit. Yvonne Kulas stated that it was wrong for 20 years and was opposed to it due to problems in the past. John Kulas lived at 9 Summit Avenue for over 22 years and he was never asked if the dormer was okay. He stated that it is a fire hazard and that the people at one time threw fire crackers from there. Mrs. Cecelski stated that there was never a three-family and there was never a variance. Mr. Craig stated that it is a two-family and has been used as a three- family illegally for many years. He stated that he never heard of the change to a three-family. Ms. Jennings stated that she has professional people living there and that there are no problems. She stated that since the neighborhood is composed of three-families why the opposition. Hearing closed. Discussion: Mr. Feeherry stated that the house is a two-family, was��w9 family, and changed by no legal process.

She stated that her Purchase and Sales Agreement stated that it was a three-family. She inquired if she could withdraw. Mr. Feeherry stated that she can't with raw without the permission of the Board, since the hearing was advertised. He stated that absence of legal counsel causes a problem. Mr. Hacker felt that she could come back once she worked it out with the neighbors. ( Ms. Jennings stated that if she can't use as three-family, she is stuck with extra rooms.

' JUNE 10," 1981 '81 JUN 17 A10 :07 CITY CLE" 'S OFFICE SALEM DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MARY JENNINGS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR 7 SUMMIT AVENUE A hearing on this Petition was held on June 10, 1981 with the following Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman, Messrs. Feeherry and Hacker and Associate Member Lusinski. Notices of the hearing were sent to 'abutters and others . and notices were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. The Petitioner has requested a variance to add a gas meter and an electric meter "to adequately define three dwelling units" at the site. A variance is required because the property is in an R-1 district where the use of the property as a three-family dwelling is prohibited without a variance. The Board of Appeals, after consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing and after viewing the property makes the following findings of £act: The property in question is not a legal three-family dwelling. The evidence presented to the Board, including several city directories and the testimony of numerous neighbors who have lived in the area between ,twenty and forty years, established that the non-conforming use of. this property is limited to its use as a two-family dwelling. On the basis of the above findings of fact and other evidence presented at the public hearing, the Board of Appeals concludes as follows: A. The Petitioner failed to establish circumstances relating to the land or structure which affect the property in question but not the zoning district in which the property is located. B. The Petitioner failed to establish that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Salem Zoning Ordinance as applied to the property would involve substantial hardship to the Petitioner. C. The Petitioner failed to establish that the requested. variance could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purposes of the Salem Ordinance. DECISION - JUNE 10, 1981 - MARY JENNINCS - PAGE WTO JUN 17 A10 :07 CITY CLERK'S OFFICE SALEM; Therefore, the Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously voted in opposition to the granting the requested relief.

McIntosh One Salem Green 745-0213 October 20, 1982 Board of Appeal City of Salem RE: 7 Summit Avenue Gentlemen: The above referenced property has continually been in violation of the Zoning Ordinance by being occupied by three (3) families. Repeated orders to vacate one of the units has been ignored. August 10 - looks like three (3) family • August 20 - looks like three (3) family August 25 - Attorney William Donaldson called to say that the third floor has been vacated. The two (2) car garage on the property is rented by a Floor Cleaning Co. to store their supplies and equipment which is also a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. A prior decision of the Board of Appeals has determined that the property is a two (2) family dwelling and that the third dwelling unit is not allowed. Very truly yours, Richard T.

June 24, 1982 Building Inspector City of Salem one Salem Green Salem, Mass. .01,970 RE : Property at 7 Summit Ave . owned by Mary Jennings Dear Sir : I wish to call your attention to the present situation at the above location. At the Board of Appeals hearing on June 10, 1981 a decision was rendered that it was and still is a two-family house and can be occupied by no more than two families. The owner has continued to have the house occupied by three different families on three different floors regardless of the above decision and the order to cease and desist such a pvactice delivered to her by your office on August 28, 1981 . At two hearings at Salem District Court before a Hearings Magistrate (Jan. 11 ,1982 and May 17, 1982) it was again concluded that the owner was not to allow more than two families to occupy the premises at any one time. In direct violation of the above findings , the owner has continuously allowed three families as tenants on the three floors and has totally disregarded the Building Inspector's orders to cease and desist such practice . I In view of the above , we request that your office , along with the City. Solicitor of the City of Salem, institute immediate action to halt the illegal use of the property. With their permission, I am acting as spokesman for the other resident abutters and owners whose signed request for immediate enforcement was delivered to you on Aug.24,1981 .
