Re: Wolfe Residence Addition/Renovation Project
95 Bayview Avenue, Salem, MA
Dear Mr. Strout:
The following is intended to clarify issues for your review at the proposed addition/renovation
project, 95 Bayview Avenue, Salem, MA. These clarifications relate to the interpretation of the
number of stories at the existing building and for the completed project. It is our opinion that the
existing building is 2 stories. This conclusion is based on the following:
1. Definition of a Story (Salem Zoning Ordinance)
The space between the surface of any floor and the surface of the next floor above
it or, if there is no floor above it, then the space between any floor and the ceiling
above it.
Any pitched roof structure with flat ceiling joists will have a volume above, but
relative to its general characteristics, based on ceiling heights, minimum room
dimensions, eta may not be a ha f floor.
2. Definition of a Story (780 CMR)
The space between the upper surface of any floor and the upper surface of the next
floor above it, except that the topmost story shall be the habitable portion of a
building included between the upper surface of the topmost floor and the ceiling or
roof above.
3. Definition of a Habitable Space(780 CMR)
A habitable room(space) shall mean any room meeting the requirements of 780
CMR 36 for sleeping, living, cooking or dining purposes.
Section 3603.7.1 Floor Area 70 square feet, minimum for habitable rooms
Floor Area 50 square feet, minimum for kitchens
Habitable rooms(except kitchens) shall have a minimum
dimension of 7'-0"

Section 3603.8.1 Minimum ceiling heights for habitable rooms is T-6" for
50% of their required area. Not more than 50% of the
required area may have a sloped ceiling less than T-6" w/
no portion of the required area less than 5'-0".
Exceptions reduce required ceiling heights to T-0" &6'-8".
No portion of the volume above the secondfloor taor ceiling at 95 Bayview Avenue
meets the minimum requirements for a habitable room (space) and as a result
can not be considered a half story. It is our opinion that the existing residence
at 95 Bayview Avenue should be considered 2 stories.
Further the proposed roof deck access stair should be allowed as it also does
not meet the requirements far a habitable room (space) and does not exceed the
maximum allowable height far this zone
Please contact our office with your opinion of the above-mentioned items. If you have any
questions or require further clarifications regarding these or other issues for the 95 Bayview
Avenue Project, please call.
Respectfidly submitted,
Stephen W!Livermore

Mr. David Harris
Assistant Building Inspector vV', o
City of Salem
One Salem Green
Salem, Massachusetts 01970
Dear Mr. Harris :
Please be advised that I represent Mr. and Mrs . Edward J. Wolfe ,
9'9�Vay;V3ew Avenue:,, Salem , Massachusetts.
I enclose for your information a copy of my correspondence to
Rebecca A. Backman with enclosure , the attorney for Victor P. C.
Rita , et al .
I have discussed with Mr. and Mrs . Wolfe the construction being
done on Mr. Rita' s property by Mr. Rita and I must tell you that
we insist that you enforce the zoning ordinances of the City of
Salem and the applicable building codes of the City of Salem and
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with reference to Mr. Rita
prior to the issuance of any occupancy permit .
As you know, these houses are in a very congested area of Salem
and the failure of the City of Salem to insist that all
construction be done according to code will result in fire or
other damage which would pose a serious threat to my clients '
lives and property.
In addition , I enclose a copy of a Plot Plan drawn for the
Shawmut Bank of Boston showing the lot line of my clients '
property. Accordingly, there is not sufficient space on
Mr. Rita' s property for any accommodation of vehicles and we
would insist that the city prevent Mr. Rita from making any
arrangements which would result in the parking of vehicles on our
property.
If you have any questions with reference to this matter , please
do not hesitate to call me.
��truly yo s , ��
