Dear Ms. Costain
This letter is to clear up any confusion about the Salem Zoning Ordinance Section 6.8 "Visibility
At Intersections" . You are correct that no sign , fence , hedge or any other structure may
extend more than three feet above the established street grade blocking visibility at any
intersection. However this ordinance applies to properties on the immediate corner of
the intersection. Neither your property, nor your neighbor's home abuts an intersection there for
this section of the Zoning Ordinance does not apply. I have attached a map showing the
location of the two properties highlighted by a red star.
If you feel aggrieved by my interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance your appeal is
To the Salem Zoning Board of Appeal .
