Re: Applicant: Gerald I. Brecher
Property:' 271 Stevens Street,North Andover
Dear Chairman Manzi:
The Applicant is requesting a further continuance of the Board's hearing in this matter,
from the upcoming meeting date of December 13, 2016,to the Board's next regularly
scheduled meeting of January 10, 2017.
As you are aware,the property owner's, William Melvin's,mental competency has been
the subject of a guardianship proceeding currently pending in the Essex Probate and
Family Court. Although the Applicant is not a party to that action, I am informed that the
Probate Court has just recently appointed a Temporary Conservator for Mr. Melvin. I
expect to be in contact with the Conservator soon, to advise him of the status of this
application and to coordinate the execution and submission an owner's authorization
letter to the Board. I do not expect that this will be completed much in advance of the
upcoming meeting date. Accordingly, the Applicant now requests the further continuance
of the Board's hearing on his pending Application.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused the Board, Town staff, or others
interested in this Application, and very much appreciate the Board's cooperation with this
request. I have every reason to believe the Applicant will be in a position to proceed with
the Application at the January 10th meeting.
I have enclosed a signed and completed time waiver continuation form.
Very truly yours,
