TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS:
The Undersigned represent(s) that they are the owner(s) of a certain parcel of land located at:
Address: 13 RAYMOND ROAD Zoning District: R1
An application is being submitted to the Board of Appeals for the following reason(s):
I am proposing to dormer out the existing roof to accomodate an additional unit on the third floor. This residence is an exising two family
building. I would like to add a third unit to the attic area. The design will not require an increase of the eisting building footprint and will
remain well below the 35' allowable building height. The driveway will be expanded towards the existing house to accomondate additional
off-street parking.
For this reason, I am requesting:
[ ]Variance (s) from provisions of Section of the Zoning Ordinance, specifically from .
[ true ] A Special Permit under Section Special permit of the Zoning Ordinance in order to To accomodate an additional rental unit in
unused space.
[]Appealing a Decision of the Building Inspector:
[] Comprehensive Permit:
Current Property Use: two-family home Are Lot Dimensions Included: Yes
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.
