Decision
City of Salem Board of Appeals
Petition of JAY FAMICO seeking a Special Permit per Sec. 3.0 Uses to allow the conversion of a historic
carriage house to a dwelling unit at 380 ESSEX STREET(Map 25,Lot 206)(82 Zoning District)
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on October 19, 2016 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11
and no testimony was heard on that date. The public hearing was continued to the next regularly scheduled
meeting on November 16, 2016 and dosed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members
present: Ms. Curran (Chair),Mr. Copelas,Mr. Watkins, Mr. Hacker (alternate),and Mr.Viccica (alternate).
The Petitioner seeks a Special Permit from the provisions of Section 3.0 Table of Prinapal and Accessory Use
Regulations of the Salem Zoning Ordinance to allow the conversion of a historic carriage house to a dwelling
unit.
Statements of fact:
1. In the petition date-stamped September 27, 2016, the Petitioner requested a Special Permit per
Section 3.0 Table of Principal and Accessory Use Regulations of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, in order to
allow the conversions of a historic carriage house to a dwelling unit.
2. Attorney Scott Grover and Dan Ricciarelli of Seger Architects presented the petition.
3. The property is located within an R-2 Zoning District.
4. The petitioner is proposing to refurbish and renovate an existing 31'.5" x 37'.3" historic carriage
house. The scope of the project includes interior renovations to create a recreation room on the first
floor and a single dwelling unit on the second floor.
5. A historic carriage house is defined by the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance as "an accessory or
outbuilding, originally built to house carriages, horses, or for use as a barn, that has been in existence
since 1900 at its present location."
6. The house and carriage house was constructed circa 1807.
7. The petitioner testified the community need that is served by this proposal is the need to restore the
historic carriage houses because these structures significantly contribute to the Salem's historic fabric.
The continued use of the structure will ensure its sustainability for years to come. Further, there is a
significant need for housing and this project will provide one additional dwelling unit.
8. The petitioner presents a revised parking plan, dated September 7, 2016 that provides four (4) parking
spaces on the property, which exceeds the minimum number of parking spaces required for two (2)

November 30,2016
Project:380 Essex Street
Page 2 of 4
dwelling units. The petitioner proposed these locations for parking to keep the existing ally of mature
trees on the property that line the existing driveway.
9. The petitioner testified that the utilities for the historic carriage house will be provided from the
existing residence.
10. There is a positive fiscal impact to the City as an increase in property tax will be realized with the
addition of a living unit.
11. The existing structure is in disrepair and there is no existing foundation. The trim, clapboards, roof
and windows all need to be restored. The goal of this project is to stabilize and utilize this historic
structure.
12. Dan Ricciarelli, architect, testified that the only major changes to the structure include adding an
egress door on the left hand side of the carriage house doors where there is currently a window. The
petitioner is also proposing to install French doors and a Juliette balcony in the existing second floor
archway.
13. The owner plans to use the first floor as a personal storage/recreation room and the second floor as a
single dwelling unit. The dwelling unit is approximately 1,100 square feet with two (2) bedrooms,
living room,dining room, and bathroom.
14. During the public heatinn. the direct abutters, located at 38 Flint Street and 143 Federal Street
strongly opposed the petition primarily due to privacy concerns and requested that the petitioner
remove all windows on the first and second floor facing both properties and/or move the location of
the structure to fit the required 30'ft rear yard and 10' ft side yard setbacks.
15. The petitioner proposed to eliminate the bathroom window by keeping the existing window and
inserting black glass as to not allow anyone to see in or out. The petitioner proposes to provide a
skylight on the second story at the bathroom location in lieu of a window.
16. The Board clarified with the petitioner that the bathroom window will remain, but the glass will be
black spandrel glass as to not allow anyone to see in or out. The Board requested that the window
structure will remain because it is part of the structural historic fabric of the building.
17. The proposal to eliminate the bathroom window black spandrel glass is subject, to Historic
Commission approval.
18. As to the neighbor request to remove the first floor windows, the petitioner stated that the first floor
is not part of the dwelling unit that is being considered by the Board. The first floor will be used as a
recreation room associated with the main house and is a use permissible by right.
19. The petitioner offered to landscape the 4' foot buffer between the historic carriage house and
property boundary with columnar evergreens to provide a vegetative screen between the carriage
house and the abutter.
20. The petitioner testified that the project team considered moving the building to fit the current setback
requirements, but felt that the preservation of the existing location of the historic carriage house and
historic landscape is important.

Page 3 of 4
21. The petitioner also offered the prohibition of the residential dwelling unit to be used as a short-term
rental. This is a voluntary condition as the Board does not have the authority to limit the term of
rental properties.
22. At the public hearing, three (3) members of the public spoke in opposition to the petition. Two (2)
members of the public spoke in favor of the petition.
The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public heating, and
after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, makes the following
findings:
The adverse effects of the proposed use will not outweigh its beneficial impacts to the City or the
neighborhood.
1. The proposed accessory use and associated building restoration will have a positive impact on the
social, economic or community needs served by the proposal as it will provide an additional dwelling
unit and allow the property owner to invest in the preservation and restoration of this historically
significant structure.
2. There are no impacts on traffic flow and safety, including parking and loading as adequate parking is
provided.
3. The capacity of the utilities is not affected by the project.
4. There are no impacts on the natural environment,including drainage.
5. The proposal conforms to the existing neighborhood character and will be a positive improvement to
preserve and restore the existing historic building.
6. The potential fiscal impact,including impact on the City tax base is positive.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted four (4) in
favor (Ms. Curran (Chair),Mr. Watkins,Mr. Hacker (alternate), and Mr. Viccica (alternate);none (0) opposed,
and Mr. Copelas abstained, to approve the requested Special permit to allow to the conversion of a historic
carriage house to a dwelling unit, subject to the following conditions,terms, and safeguards:
Standard Conditions:
1. The Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, ordinances, codes and regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions submitted to and approved by the
Building Commissioner
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety shall be strictly
adhered to.
4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction.
5. A Certificate of Occupancy shall be obtained
6. A Certificate of Inspection shall be obtained.
7. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including, but
not limited to, the Planning Board.

Subject: Structural Certification for Installation of Solar Panels
Famico Residence
380 Essex Street
Salem,MA.01970
To Whom It May Concern,
A design check for the subject residence was done on the existing roofing and framing systems for the installation of
solar panels over the roof. From a field inspection of the property,the existing roof support structures were observed
by the client's auditors as follows:
The post and beam roof structure consists of a flat roof top that is conneccted to 28-degree sloped roof on either side.
The width of both the flat roof and each sloped section is 8'-0". The main post-and-beam frame consists of 8x8
perimeter top plate,8x8 beam along the ridge line,and 6x8 rafters paired with matching ceiling joists at 96"o.c. There
are 2.5x3.5 horziontal purlins at 24"o.c.spanning between the rafters in the sloped roofs,and 20"o.c.in the flat roof.
Each sloped rafter is simply supported by 8x8 posts on either side,and so are the flat rafters. The roofing is asphalt
shingle on the sloped roof,and EPDM on the flat roof. The roof deck is made of 1x wood deck.
The existing roof framing system is judged to be adequate to withstand the loading imposed by the instalation of solar
PVs,on top of existing snow and dead load. No reinforcement is necessary
The spacing of the solar standoffs should be kept at 48"o.c..
I further certify that all applicable loads required by the codes and design criteria listed below were applied to the AEE
SnapNRack/Ecolibrium solar rail system and analyzed.Furthermore,the installation crews have been thoroughly
trained to install the solar panels based on the specific roof installation instructions developed by AEE
SnapNRack/Ecolibrium for the racking system and AEE forthe roof connections. Finally,I accept the certifications
indicated by the solar panel manufacturer for the ability of the panels to withstand high wind and snow loads.
Design Criteria:
• Applicable Codes=Massachusetts Residential Code,8th Edition,ASCE 7-05,and 2005 NDS
• Roof Dead Load=8 psf(2.5x3.5 purlin sloped roof) -- 8 psf(2.5x3.5 purlin flat roof) -- 8 psf(6x8 rafters)
• Roof Live Load=20 psf
• Wind Speed=100 mph,Exposure C
• Ground Snow Load=40 psf - Roof Snow Load=28 psf
Please contact me with any
further questions or concerns regarding this project.
