The Honorable City Council
City Hall, 191 Cabot Street
Beverly, MA 01915
RE: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL FOR UNIT 104
AT 3 6 DUNHAM ROAD
Dear Honorable Council:
Members will recall that some time ago, the City discovered that a non - qualifying tenant was living in this
affordable housing unit. The unit owner, Mr. Steven Jaworski, appeared before the City Council in February of
2013 requesting permission to continue the rental arrangement and after initial discussions elected to withdraw
that request and instead sell the unit to a qualified buyer.

As outlined in the Deed Rider for this unit, the City worked with the owner to identify a qualified purchaser by
but was unsuccessful in doing so. The property owner then worked on his own to find a buyer and has done so.
Accordingly, the owner is now seeking a waiver of the City's right of first refusal on this unit. If granted, the
conditions in the original 1989 affordable housing Deed Rider regarding affordability and resale will remain in
force and effect for this unit.
Attached are a cover letter from Mr. Jaworski's attorney, a Waiver of Right of First Refusal, an appraisal of the
property, the Purchase and Sales Agreement between the current and prospective owner, and a Rider to the
Purchase and Sales Agreement.
City Planner Tina Cassidy recommends approval of this request and can be reached at (978) 921 -6000, ext. 2343
if you have any questions regarding this request.
Very Truly Yours,
William F. Scanlon, Jr.
Mayor

Beverly City Council
City Hall, 191 Cabot Street
Beverly, MA 01915
RE: REQUEST FOR SHORT -TERM PARKING SPACE IN VICINITY OF 15 OAK STREET (THE
DOGGIE DEPOT) /AMENDMENT TO SUBSECTION (i)(i) OF SECTION 21.13 OF THE CITY
ORDINANCES ENTITLED STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING
Dear Honorable Council:
The Parking and Traffic Commission was recently contacted by the owner of the above - referenced establishment
who requested that the City consider installing a short -term parking space in close proximity to the above -
referenced address. On- street parking spaces nearby are often occupied early in the day by commuters using the
Farms train station, leaving no short -term parking for customers of his business or of others nearby.
After considering the request and conducting research which included an inventory of on and off - street spaces
nearby, parking patterns and schedules, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that one (1) 30- minute
parking space be created on the southerly side of Oak Street in front of 15 Oak Street. The Commission further
recommends that the exact location of the space and the signage associated with it be determined by the
Engineering and Police Departments.
Respectfully,
Richard Benevento
Chairman
