The area'of Building 143 and Building 145'had been filled, apparently during Mariner Village t Phase II construction in the early 1980's. The upper fill,material in this area was found to contain blasted rock mixed with glacial till soil and small amounts of topsoil, organic matter, and construction debris. Haley & Aldrich judged this upper fill material unsuitable for direct support of the building foundations. The unsuitable upper fill materials were removed but site constraints including the existing adjacent roads, utilities, and existing townhouse units made full-depth removal of some lower fill material impractical. OFFICES To provide suitable foundation support over the remaining fill, a geogrid-reinforced, Cleveland compacted, structural rock fill pad was designed and installed beneath the buildings. Pad Ohio preparation work included the following steps: Denver Colorado ❑ removal of previously-placed fill materials from within the zone of influence of the Hartford foundations and floor slab to a depth of at least ten feet below the bottom elevation of Connecticut the future foundations Los Angeles California ❑ preparation of the natural soil, rock, or previous fill subgrade's by removal of Manchester unsuitable materials and proof compaction with a heavy self-propelled vibratory roller Nem Hampshire „ Portland ❑ "placenienf of the geogrid-reinforced compacted structural rock fill pads.

Three layers of geogrid were placed at selected elevations within the compacted rock fills. ❑ placement of a non-woven geotextile over the rock fill and then 12 inches of compacted granular fill beneath the footings. Our observations of the work have been documented in daily field reports Nos. 20 through 48 dated 24 March 1997 through 2 May 1997. In our opinion, the work observed by Haley & Aldrich, Inc. was conducted in accordance with acceptable construction practices and the requirements of the current Massachusetts State Building Code, and the reinforced structural rock fill pads are suitable for support of the proposed buildings.

'66 June 19, 1986 CITY OF SALE14 MASS. Mr. Paul S. Niman Director of Public Services One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Re: Water Service The Village at Vinnin Square Salem, MA Dear Paul : I am in receipt of your letter of June 12, 1986. Mr. Fletcher' s letter was authored by him when he was a representative of the City of Salem. I pur- chased the land and set prices, etc. based upon my anticipated cost and I have existing contracts with home owners for units in this condo development based upon my costs. I have relied upon Fletcher' s letter and other infor- mation, including a written agreement with the Planning Board for Phase II, combined with my other costs to determine my prices. In other words, I am locked in and if I am forced to spend an additional $300,000: to fix up City water pipes, this money will come out of my pocket. Your representation that there is adequate water supply does not agree with your requirement to install a storage tank. The usual and normal installa- tion of a booster pump DOES NOT REQUIRE storage tanks unless there is inade- quate water supply. If there is adequate water supply, as you state in your June 12th letter "It is my position that there is adequate water supply in this area", we do not need to have storage capacity. If there is an inade- quate supply of water, it is due to the conditions of the pipe. This statement is verified by your "acceptable alternative" of cleaning and lining, developed by my engineer. I offered to clean the pipes but you also want them lined. My problem is that this is a responsibility of the City and is a benefit to the entire area of the City and therefore I should not be forced into paying for it through the withholding of certificates of occupancy on units which have been issued a building permit. I am trying to arrange for State funding of this municipal responsibility. 33 Bedford Street, Suite 12/114, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173 Mr. Paul S.

The UL standard you refer to as being changed this year is UL103. UL103 was changed to include the option of a higher temperature test. UL103 chimneys are used on woodstoves. The UL standard that factory built fireplaces are listed under is UL127. UL127 includes testing and performance tests for both the fireplace and the chimney that comes with it. This whole system (chimney, accessories, and fireplace) is listed, as a system, by UL under 127. There have been no changes to UL127 regarding chimneys. All of our products offered for sale are listed by UL and numerous other agencies with. the underlying standard being UL127. I trust this information is adequate, but do not hesitate to call if this is insufficient. Thank you for asking. Kinde t regar , omas R. Rehberg Vice President Research and Development TRR/jr cc: D.

This shall mean two additional smoke detectors added to the multi-station interconnected units as shown on Plan E-2.

It is my belief that Ms . Shactman., or . someone on her behalf, will be applying for a building permit within the next couple of days. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that your office has issued building permits to Vinnin Associates Realty Trust to construct a single building consisting of 65 dwelling units . The Village at Vinnin Square Condominium consists of one lot of land according to the City of Salem zoning ordinance and as defined in the zoning ordinance, only one building is allowed per lot of land. Because the condominium consists of one building, Vinnin Associates Realty Trust is responsible for all construction activity on the site until its building permits have been signed off. Since we are still operating under the building permits issued by you, I do not see how you can issue a. duplicate permit for the same building. Any work performed under a separate building permit by another person can only lead to confusion and an inability to determine the responsible party should an accident occur . I bring this matter to your attention not by way of advising you whether or not to issue a building permit, but merely to in- form you of the existence of our permits and our liability under those permits .

Those issues were: 1 . May connected townhouses constructed with a 2-hour fire separation wall be considered an R-3 occupancy? 2. In the 6 unit building where the uppermost unit is 2 stories high, must there be egress from the 2nd story even though the unit will be occupied by a single family? The first item is addressed by the Massachusetts Building Code Section 909.1 .2, and further addressed by a BOCA Code interpretation enclosed. This interpretation indicates that when multiple single family dwellings, side by side, are separated by a 1-hour fire resistant wall (these buildings are separated by 2-hour walls), they may then be classified as single family dwellings and therefore comply with Section 609.2, exempting them from having 2 independent exitways from floors above grade. The second item is somewhat more involved and is not clearly addressed in the Building Code. The relevant code provision would be Section 607.4 - Length of Travel which indicates that in a residential occupancy, the maximum distance from the most remote point to the exitway shall not exceed 100 feet. In this building, the maximum distance from the most remote point on each of the floors within the unit is less than 100 feet. Therefore, it may be assumed that if the travel distance within the unit itself is not exceeded, it is not material whether that travel distance is measured vertically or horizontally. Since the area of the building Life Safety, Fire Protection and Building Code Consultants telephone 617-542-7131 V ti -2- is limited by Table 305 and the area within the unit is limited by the travel distance, then the intent of the code is met for means of egress, and the egress from the uppermost level of the single unit can be via an internal stair. The second code provision that would apply would be Section 612.2 requiring a room or tenant space exceeding 2000 s.f. in area to have at least two egress doorways to an exitway or corridor. The units in question in this building do not exceed 2000 s.f. and have two egress doors leading to two separate approved exitways. As you know, there are many, many residential complexes built in this fashion and the code interpretations above are, to the best of my knowledge, in accordance with generally accepted practices for the occupancy and type of construction involved. Please let me know if you require any further information concerning t ese two issues �,of1)code interpretation. i Vv ` HERBERT W. EISENBERG HWE:pm encl .
