The Salem Zoning Board of Appeals met on Wednesday, December 20,2021 to discuss your request for a six (6)month extension to exercise rights granted by the December 3,2018 Board Decision that approved a special permit to change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use,and variances from minimum lot area per dwelling unit and maximum number of stories to construct 42 residential units within five buildings. The timeline to exercise rights granted by the Decision was previously extended to June 3, 2021. The request before the Board on December 15, 2021 was to extend this timeline for a special permit and variances an additional six (6) months,to June 3,2022. On November 26, a letter from Attorney Kristin Kolick on behalf of juniper Point Investment Co LLC was submitted requesting a six (6) month extension.This extension would expire on June 3,2022. As noted by representative Joseph Correnti in the December 15 meeting, the petitioner is continuing their permitting efforts. The petitioner is still pursuing State permitting, including applications related to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) and Chapter 91. The petitioner will file updated plans with the Zoning Board of Appeals and Building Commissioner. The Building Commissioner will review the plans in consultation with the Chair of the Board of Appeals. Any changes that affect the zoning relief that was initially granted by the Board of Appeals will be brought back to this Board. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted five (4) in favor(Rosa Ordaz,Steve Smalley,Peter Copelas,and Mike Duffy(Chair)) and none (0) opposed to grant the requested six-month extension to exercise the rights granted by the December 3,2018 Board Decision.
