Respectfully submitted, Chairman J i 2 Elm Avenue Salem, Mass. April 17, 1953 Mr. Louis E. Baker Chairman, Planning Board City Hall Salem, Mass. DearSir: I am writing to state that I am altogether opposed to the application of Mrs. Lillian Little of Swampscott for permission to build a store building in what is, at present, a residential zone, on State and Tedesco Streets in Salem. I would like, also, to mention that I am not alone in my opposition, but am only one of many people in this neighborhood who have signed a petition expressing opposition to the plan of extending the present business zone. My reasons for objecting to the application of Mrs. Little are listed below: (1) Reduction in the market value of my residential property and buildings (2) My oppotition to any proposed project such as this which might increase volume of automobile traffic in the neighborhood. To conclude, I think it is not at all fair that residents of Salem should be subjected tQ very probable loss of property value simply because a business person from outside the city wishes to construct a commercial building in a residential neigh- borhood in which the person is not a resident. Please do me the favor of voting against Yezoning of this property which would allow these store buildir�p to be wilt. Yours truly, cla Wilson McA. Kleibacker April 28, 1953 Mr. Thomas J.

Baker 214 Essex St. Salem, Mass. u Dear Sir: At a meeting of the City Council held on April 91 1953 the following communication was referred to the Planning Board under the Law: Mr. Henry J. Talbot of Salem is the owner of five parcels of land situated on Hersey Street and Forest Avenue in Salem. The area is approximately 200 feet in from Canal Street extension and on Canal St. extension there is an industrial zone extending inward for a distance for 150 feet. The desire of the writer is to extend this zone so that the area described below will be zoned for general business purposes. The property to be rezoned is bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point, 150 feet easterly from Canal Street at Forest Avenue thence running along the northerly line of Forest Avenue for a distance of 200 feet, thence turning and running northerly approximately 100 feet, thence turning and running easterly approximately 50 feet, thence turning and running northerly approximately 100 feet to Hersey Street, thence turning and running southerly along Hersey Street, a distance of 250 feet to the area now zoned for industry, thence turning and running in a southerly direction for 196 feet to the boint of beginning. The area in question is not desirable for residential purposes and the proposed use will be of a beneficial nature to the immediate neighborhood. It will be established that this general neighborhood is essentially of a business character and a proposed extension of the existing zone would seem reasonable. I am enclosing for your consideration a plan showing more par- ticularly the area that will be affected. I trust that this petition will receive your prompt consideration. Very t ours, Henry J.

Mr. Gray, Mr. Malkowski and Mr O'Brien were present. In the absence of the Chairman, Mr. Gray presided. A hearing was held on the petition of Henry J. Talbot to change from general residence. zone to business zone an area, comprising five lots, between Forest Ave. and Hersey St. , adjacent to the existing industrial zone on Canal Street Extension (formerly property of Butler Trust) . Mr. Charles J. Panagopoulos, representing the petitioner, appeared in favor. He said that Mr. Talbot is in the catering business and wishes to erect onthe property a building for the storage of equipment and general use in catering business. The land at present is low and swampy and covered with unattractive bush growth. The neighborhood is of a business character, he said, in- cluding an ice cream stand, a leather factory, a store with a fruit and vegetable stand in summer, an express company and an auto company. It is not a desirable location for business. It is proposed to build a one-story building which would increase the taxable value of the property, which has little income value to the City at present. There are not many areas in the city available for business expansion and this section would offer an opportunity. The petitioner intends to improve and clean out all the property in question. Mr. Edmond LeBlanc, owner of the two adjacent lots, appeared in f auor. There was no opposition. In reply to questions from mmbers of the Board, Mr. Panagopoulos • and Mr. Talbot said that the building would probably be of cinder block construction, about 50 ft. x 60 ft. and the garage entrance would be on Hersey St. The hearing was closed. I The meeting then adjourned to 10 Gardner St. , and Mr. Baker attended and presided. On motion of Mr. Malkowski, it was voted that the Board recommend favorable action on the petition of HerryrJ. Talbot to the City Council. Mr. Baker called attention to the petition of Tc.' Albert Marcoux, dated July 10, 1952, to change a general residence zone at "Lot B" on Osgood St. to a business zone, extensing the existing business zone on Osgood St. forty feet. No action had been taken by the Board on this petition, as the change of zone requested was included in the proposed revision of the Zoning Map which was submitted to the City Council. However, since the City Council has taken no action on the proposed revision of the Zoning Ordinance and Map, Mr. Baker suggested that the Board should make a report on this petition. On motion of Mr. Gray, it was voted that the Board recommend favorable action on the p3etition of T. Albert Marcoux to the City Council. On motion of Mr. Gray, it was unanimously voted t-albuthorize the chairman. Louis E. Baker, to execute and sign requisitions, expense vouchers and payrolls. Mr. Gray suggested that the Board should present petitioners for zoning changes with a form of questionnaire requesting certain specific information and an accurate map. Mr. Baker asked Mr. Gray to draw up such a form and submit it to the Board for approval. Mr. Gray moved that the Board formally request the Ordinance Committee for information as to the status of the proposed revision of the Zoning Ordinance and Map. At the request of Mr. Baker, Irlr. Gray withdraw his motion, pending a possible report by the Ordinance Committee in the near future . • On motion of Mr. O'Brien, the meeting adjourned at 9.30 9.30 p. m.

All the members were present. and Mr. Baker, the chairman, presided. A hearing was held on?the petition of Florence L. Saunders to change an apartment house zone at 164-168-172 Lafayett5 Street to a semi-residence zone. Mr. Richard E. Blake appeared in favor for the petitioner. He said that the land had been vacant since the Salem fire of 1914 . In requesting the change, the petitioner had no definite use in mind, but a building for doctors' offices was one possibility. Apartment houses are not being built at present and Lafayette Street has become more or less commercialized in recent years. • The property is now useless and a tax burden to the petitioner. Mr. Max Silverman appeared in opposition. He said he had resided at 160 Lafayette Street for thirty-five years. It is a residential neighborhood and stores will ruin the street. He said he had . tried to buy the property in question but it was not for sale.
