We return with exactly the same proposal to construct a roughly 18 ft x 51 ft.one story addtion to the residence at 21 Chestnut St in the
R-1 Zoning District. The Zoning Ordinace requires 10 ft side yard setback.The residence is an existing non-conforming historic row
house sharing a party wall with the abutter at#23 Chestnut. The existing non-conforming one story addition to be torn down is 37 ft long.
The new addition will extend an additional 14 ft along the said party wall.
For this reason,I am requesting:
U Variance(s)from provisions of Section of the Zoning Ordinance,specifically from.
L!qLej A Special Permit under Section 33.5 of the Zoning Ordinance in order to the residence is existing non-conforming

The Undersigned hereby petitions the Board of Appeals to vary the terms of the Salem Zoning Ordinance and allow the project to be
constructed as per the plans submitted,as the enforcement of said Zoning By-Laws would involve practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the Undersigned and relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.

Statement of Grounds(for Special Permits):
Our proposal is to expand the back of the existing nonconforming residence at 21 Chestnut St. There is no change in use. There will be
no effect on the social,economic or community needs,traffic,parking, utility use or tax base. There will be no environmental impact.
The Salem Historical Commission issued a Certificate of Appropriateness on April 29,2021 and we are confident they will extend their
prior approval.
