Re: 48 Bay View Avenue
Dear Mr. St. Pierre:
I represent Albert Goodhue and Kate vanDyke,who live at 44 Bay View Avenue,next to the
above property.
On August 30, 2017 the Board of Appeals issued the owners of#48 a Special Permit, "to
raise the existing non-conforming structure approximately two (2) feet to install a foundation and
construct a second floor dormer at the property..."
The construction is radically in excess of that. .Aside from raising the building two or more
feet, it appears the owners raised the roof line by an additional 6'. and built an entire addition rather
than a mere dormer. This construction has hart an extremely detrimental effect on my clients' use
and enjoyment of their property.
Further,the construction actually encroaches on my clients'property. While the owners had
a deeded easement over a portion of my clients' land for a part of the pre-existing structure, that
easement was extinguished when they removed their porch in the course of construction.
I visited your office yesterday to review the actual Special Permit application, but the staff
was unable to locate it.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT NO OCCUPANCY PERMIT ISSUE FOR 48 BAY
VIEW AVENUE, and that construction be ordered to cease, until the issue of construction so far
in excess of the Special Permit can be carefully reviewed.
Further, I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience, today if possible, to
further discuss this matter.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
I'mncis T. Mayo
