MEMORANDUM
TO: Frank Sienkiewicz, Acting Building Inspector
�e
FROM: Kathleen G. Fallon, City Solicitor
SUBJECT: 16 North Maple Street
DATE: October 2, 1990
FILE:
As you know, the owners of 16 North Maple Street have applied
to the License Commission for a Lodging House License. The License
Commission always refers such requests to the Building Inspector
for an opinion as to whether that use is allowed in a particular
area. Lodging houses are not allowed by right at the 16 North
Maple Street location and have not been since 1976. The use would
only be allowed if the lodging house use predated the 1976
revisions to the zoning ordinance.
The current owners of the structure have submitted affidavits
from eight residents certifying that the building has been a
lodging house for as long as Joseph Vinci has owned the property.
He acquired the property on October 30, 1975. However, I have been
informed that the building may have been put to other uses since
1975. Mr. Vinci has never held a lodging house license at that
location.
I realize that you have a potential conflict since your family
operates a business adjacent to this property and cannot
participate in any matters dealing with this issue. If given the
necessary funds, however, you can appoint an assistant inspector
who could then render an opinion on the issue for the License
Commission.
At this point, the only evidence submitted are the affidavits
supporting the legitimacy of the use. If asked, I would have to
give an opinion that the use is grandfathered. However, if other
evidence were submitted contradicting the affidavits, a different
conclusion might be reached.
If the neighbors denying the lodging house use is
grandfathered want a public resolution of the issue, they should
file a complaint with your office stating that the use is illegal
and requesting that you issue a cease and desist order on the
property. If you fail to respond to the complaint or fail to issue
the order within fourteen days of the filing of the complaint, the
neighbors may then appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The
Board will hold a public hearing, receive evidence, and determine
if the use is grandfathered.

TO: Frank Sienkiewicz, Acting Building Inspector
FROM: Kathleen G. Fallon, City Solicitor
SUBJECT: 16 North Maple Street
DATE: September 20, 1990
FILE:
I met today with the owners of 16 North Maple Street and their
attorney. It appears that the use of the property as a lodging
house is grandfathered under the zoning ordinance. However, the
property is not exempt from the application of any building code
requirements for lodging houses. I gather that the structure may
not comply with the current code requirements for lodging houses.
Since you haves an apparent condflict of interest as to this
project, it will be necessary to use another inspector. Could you
inquire if the state inspector will be willing to conduct the
inspection? If he is unable to do so, the Mayor has suggested
hiring Cecil Clark as a temporary assistant inspector.
Since Attorney Sacks is willing to certify as to Ms. Green' s
authority, yob m y ,accept her signature on the waiver for the
contractor s irsCirance.,;,

To whom it may concern:
The Florence Mercantile Business Association is writing in
reference to 16 No. Maple Street and 28 No. Maple Street . We
as a group would like to voice our concerns over these
properties .
The Florence Mercantile Business Association is concerned as
to the type of business establishment proposed for 16 No.
Maple Street . It is our belief that this was never
officially a rooming house as it lacked sufficient licenses ,
inspections , or certificates . Past history has shown that
this type of business has not been compatible with
neighboring businesses . We as a group welcome new business ,
but feel this property should be used as it is currently
zoned.
In reference to 28 No . Maple Street , the Florence Mercantile
Business Association would like to see new business but feel
the inadequate parking and zoning is inappropriate for a bar
room/pool hall type business . It is our wish that your
committees consider the zoning and parking regulations that
apply to this property .
This was unanimously voted upon by the entire Florence
Mercantile Business Association during the August 27th
meeting .
Sincerely,
im Brazeau
President
Florence Mercantile Business Association
