Dear Members of the Council
As you are aware, the City of Beverly has two affordable housing development units
which were approved by the Board of Aldermen and Board of Appeals several
years ago. Dunham Castle Condominiums on Dunham Road and Dane Square
Condominiums on Dane Street were approved in the late 1980’s with the condition
that a certain number of units in each development be set aside for first time home
buyers from Beverly.
Whenever the owner of one of these affordable housing units wishes to sell his or her
condominium, the deed restriction for the units require the owner to notify the City.
The City then attempts to find a buyer who meets the specified eligibility
requirements, usually with success.
The guidelines and deed restrictions that to with each affordable housing unit also
require that the City be given the option of purchasing the unit. If the City decides
not to exercise that option, it must execute a “Waiver of Right of First Refusal.” This
waiver only applies to the transfer in question at the time. The deed restriction
requires that such a waiver be signed before each and every change in ownership.
The owner of Unit #205 in the Dane Square Condominium development, Mr. Robert
P. Gagnon, is in the process of selling his unit. Accordingly, I am forwarding the
attached Waiver of Right of First Refusal to the Council for its consideration, and
hopefully its authorization for the Mayor to execute the waiver on the City’s behalf.
Mr. Gagnon is anxious to sell his unit as soon as possible.
Thank you for your response to this request. If you have any questions, on the
process of the waiver itself, pleas do not hesitate to contact me in the Planning
Dept.
Very truly yours,
Debra A. Hurlburt
Assistant Planning Director
