Pursuant to a Notice of Public Hearing mailed postage prepaid to the Peti- tioner, Board Members, abutterst and others, and advertisements published in the Salem Evening News, a Public Hearing was held on this appeal on March 31, 1971 in the Council Chambers. All. Board members, excepting Mr. Doyle and Mr. Welcb , ,Iattended this hearing. Attorney John R. Serafini appeared for the Petitioner and recited the statement of appeal as it appears in the petition filed, and he 'went on to point out that the Petitioner is a practicing tax attorney and tax "Ons"11'ant, and that in the conduct of his profession he desires to use -he first floor premises of the property at #76 Federal Street, Salem, Massachusetts . Evidence was introduced that the premises in question consisted presently of a two-family dwelling situated at the intersection of Federal and North Streets in said Salemo Massachusetts, and that directly across the street In Pederal Street was a funeral home , and directly across the street on orth Street was a business establishment used for the business of advar- �,_S.Iilgl and public relations work; that on Federal Street itself in the , _clnizy of the Court House were respective law offices and survey and ell- ,,ineering businesses, and that on Federal Street going towards Boston rc!ot , the area consisted of large single , two-family, and multi-family buildings, in some of which were conducted professional offices, and that nursing homes existed on the street as well as a variety store ; that mediately to the rear of Federal Street in a northwesterly direction , was an .Industrial zone, The Board found that a multiplicity of uses existed in this two-family zone , together with buildings that had historical connotations. Several people spoke in opposition to the granting of a Special Permit , reciting that the historical aspect of Federal Street would be changed if this Special Permit use were permitted, and even though this particular building situated on Federal Street did not have any historical they nevertheless felt that Mr. Keefe should not be allowed to praU his profession in the building, even though he were going to reside thC�rcl,, . The Board carefully considered all of the arguments made , and were very ,'amillar with the particular two-family building involved. The Board was also aware that in other areas of the City which were classified as" iingla family" districts and/or considered to be "historical" that the use of a portion of the premises for the conduct of a profession such as an attor- ney or doctor were not uncommonp and that this type of a use in all dis- -icts had been part of the City' s make-up for many years, both prior to Lind subsequent to the adoption of the various zoning ordinances. 2 22 a Board found that a Special Permit use of this type requested was not un-u6ual in a residential district and that in fact where the Petitioner :,,as4ded on the premises it was more likely than not that such usc, would More carefully supervised than would be the case wherein the practi- -c,ner did not --aside on the premises. The Board further found that )�cial Permits were contemplated by the City of Salem zoning ordinances were adopted and that sections therein gave the Board authority ,,cz on requests of this type after a consideration of the facts. Toe Board found that granting of this Special Permit would not dero�!ate from either the intent or the meaning of the zoning ordinances and that in its opinion such use of the first floor premises for the professional offices of the Petitioner would not inflict any serious encroachment in ,he area , having in mind that the actual physical make up of the area :,,zrrounding 76 Federal Street and the fact that within a short radius of' premises there already existed a multiplicity of uses , many of which far more commercial in character than the requested use by the Peti- cioner, and the further fact that the use of residential premises by a professional person residing on the premises was contemplated under uses permitted by Special Permit , and that the use in question was within the spirit of the existing ordinances. .1.fuer careful consideration and evaluation of all the circumstances and after giving consideration to the various arguments advanced by interested narties, the Board unanimously voted to grant a Special Permit for this �iome occupation with the stipulation that the first floor be used solely fox petitioner' s professional office for the general practice of law, and the second floor be occupied for his private residence only.
