RE:Stairflift Installation at 131 Derby Street
Dear Mr. St. Pierre:
We own and reside in the second-floor unit, being Unit No. 5, of the Renaissance Condominium
located at 131 Derby Street, Salem. We have owned the unit since 2006.Our neighbors, Dean and Heidi
Liedberg, own and reside on the first floor, being Unit No.4
The condominium consists of two separate buildings, and our units,4&5, are the only units
contained the two-story brick building at the rear of 131 Derby Street.
Units 4&5 each have a separate roof-top patio.
The Leidbergs and we share an exclusive use stairway that allows us access to our unit, and the
Liedbergs access to their roof-top patio. We are aware that Heidi Liedberg has serious difficulty
climbing this shared stairway to reach her outdoor patio,which we know she and Dean very much enjoy
during the nice weather. We and the Liedbergs are the only unit owners who have any rights to use this
stairway.
We are writing to let you know that we are agreeable to us and we consent to the Liedbergs
being allowed to install and maintain the ELAN Straight Chairlift,or a similar chairlift, in both sections of
our shared stairway to assist Heidi in accessing her patio,and we hope that you will issue them a
building permit to do so.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Ve ly urs, atAio_.
