Re; 9 Buffum Street
Dear Mr.Mandeville,
Today you spoke with Steve Cummings regarding a concern you have about the addition at 9
Buffum. Steve explained to you that the setback in the R-1 and R-2 zone is ten feet. Apparently,
you do not agree with that statement. You have the right to appeal the issuance of the Building
permit to the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals. We are going to include a copy of the plot plan
submitted to obtain the Building permit.
To file an Appeal,you will need to submit your application to the clerk for the Zoning Board,
Dan Laroe, located in the Planning Department.
If you need additional information regarding this property, I would suggest that you file a
Freedom of Information request with Joanne Roomey in the legal department so that an
approximate estimate of time and cost can be prepared. The first two hours are free. If you are
looking for current info,it should be able to be completed within that time flame.
Sinc ly,
cr7
