Dear Mr. St. Pierre:
Under the Massachusetts Public Records Act § 66-10 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to
inspect or obtain copies of public records that are associated with the special variance issued by
the building inspector pursuant to the City of Salem Code of Ordinances Chapter 22, Article I,
Sec. 22-2(5) with regard to the property at 65 Washington Street and/or the project known as 65
Washington St. LLC and/or the District Court. Specifically:
• notification the inspector sent to city council shall notifying the Council that a waiver
was being considered
• documentation of the special variance issued by the building inspector sent to the city
council
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will
exceed $10.00. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure
of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the
public's understanding of the process of issuance of special variances as it relates to City of
Salem Code of Ordinances Chapter 22, Article I, Sec. 22-2(5). This information is not being
sought for commercial purposes.
The Massachusetts Public Records Act requires a response to this request within 10 days. If
access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me
with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the
refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under
the law.
Thank you for considering my request.
