RE: 335 Salem St, North Andover
As the Petitioner I request this board to approve this application for a Variance based on
the grounds this board previously approved it on June 13,2024 that allowed Lynn
McLoughlin and John McLaughlin (Owners) of this property to be subdivide and sell qff a
single-family house and a buildable single-family lot,with No Accountability. I(JCE
Property Development LLC) purchased this lot on April 5,2024 with the intent to
construct a single-family house. I spoke with Paul Hutchins (Building Commissioner) prior
to my purchasing 335 Salem St about the Variance expiring and he told me I needed to file
for the building Permit... Since that time of the purchase(7 Months ago) I have diligently
worked to obtain a Building permit. I hired a Civil Engineer and filed right away with the
NA Planning Board for the Watershed Permit.With the lot purchase, engineers, architects,
Interest etc. I have invested ($498,180.23 hearing date) I was asked by this board about
working with my abutter about a possible easement,I visited Melissa Marrama (327 Salem
St on October 5,2024) on site and she asked about purchasing the lot and she would build a
small guest house if she kept the property,I emailed Melissa on October 24,2024 a
proposal to purchase or the option of a easement. I email her a few days ago and she
advised me her attorney hasn't reviewed the option of the easement, this tells me the
easement isn't a priority to her. I remove the rocks on my property line on September 25,
2024 to show Good Faith to my abutter Melissa Marrama.I then showed up to do some
work on my Bobcat(November 4,2024) at the property and discover I can't access my
property because Melessa Marrama has her leaf bags in front of my gate to access my
property. Melissa Marrama has accused me at several Planning board hearings of causing
water to go into her Barn side garage entrance, as you can see in the pictures the grading is
low at this side of her Barn and she has a concrete ramp which goes to the basement door.
We have had a very dry summer,so I don't understand why she has made these
accusations.
Please allow this Variance so I may continue to the Planning board next week.
