Damian J. Cote Mayor Alex B. Morse Building Commissioner eee eee City of Holyoke Building Department es = September 19, 2018 City Council 536 Dwight Street Holyoke, MA 01040 Re: Special permit application for 5 Appleton St Dear Council Members, This letter is an impostant update related to the application for a special permit for Holyoke Gardens, The HFD, HPD, BOH and building department have received many complaints related to 903 Dwight Street, owned by David Caputo (Holyoke Gardens). These departments have followed up on the complaints and now have expressed deep concern over this project that have very recently developed. The following is a summary of the findings; As early as July complaints about the owner renting rooms at this property and growing “over 100 plants” were made to various departments. The HFD, BOH, HPD and Building department tried to conduct inspections of the house but were denied entry by Mr. Caputo. ‘On September 10" the BOH, HPD, Building Department, and HFD were allowed partial entry and conducted an inspection of 903 Dwight Street. Upon inspection it was found that the single-family house was being used as a boarding house by definition and the house had extensive modifications to conduct a commercial grow operation. ‘There was an inspection on the 11" and 12" in which extensive work on the property was found and over 75 plants removed from the property by the HPD. ‘This information was not readily available to share with the ordinance committee giving the timing. Attached you will find the reports and relative documents. I have not personally inspected the property but have volunteered on behalf of the other departments to compile to share with the council members. It is my suggestion to send it back to the ordinance committee for discussion on this matter, If you have any further questions feel free to call or email.
