Development of small lots of record on Evergreen Road
Salem
Summary
A.E. Gidley won approval to build on one of the last vacant 1940s-era lots on Evergreen Road, matching variances granted for neighboring lots. Abutters raised concerns about a well near the new septic system and a property-line encroachment letter — issues the board said are civil matters outside its authority.
