November 30, 2016 Amended Decision City of Salem Board of Appeals Petition of 161 FEDERAL STREET LLC, seeking an amendment to an existing Zoning Board of Appeal decision dated September 2, 2015 to construct an additional four (4) parking spaces at the rear of the property of 161 FEDERAL STREET (Map 25 Lot 112)(R2 Zoning District). A public hearing on the above amendment to a previously approved petition was opened November 16, 2016 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11. The public hearing was continued at the request of the applicant to August 19, 2015 and closed on this date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Rebecca Curran (Chau), Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair), Tom Watkins, Paul Viccica (alternate), James Hacker (alternate). The Petitioner seeks an amendment to a previously approved decision dated September 2,2015, to amend the previously approved plot plan in order to construct an additional four (4) parking spaces at the rear of the property. Statements of Fact: 1. Attorney Grover presents the proposed amendment to the decision. 2. In the petition date-stamped October 25,2016 the Petitioner requested an amendment to a previous Zoning Board of Appeal decision to reflect the new parking plan titled, "Plot Plan of Land 161 Federal Street, Salem prepared for Dan Botwinik", dated September 29,2016. 3. The property served as a rectory for St.James church and is located in an R2 Zoning District. 4. The petitioner is proposing to construct an additional four (4) parking spaces for a total of ten (10) parking spaces at the rear of the property. 5. The original site plan approved by the October 25, 2016 decisions for 161 Federal Street, provided six (6)parking spaced required by the Ordinance to serve the four(4) approved residential units at the property. As amended, the site plan for 161 Federal Street will provide an additional four(4) parking spaces to serve the existing three (3) residential units at the Griffin Place property. 6. The owner of 161 Federal Street has recently acquired an ownership interest in the adjacent property at 2 Griffin Place and proposed to allow access to the rear of 161 Federal Street over 2 Griffin Place via the private Right-Of-Way"Griffin Place"in exchange for providing parking to serve the Griffin Place property in the rear yard of 161 Federal Street. This permits eliminating access through a narrow driveway at 161 Federal Street. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 30,2016 Project: 161 Federal Street Page 2 of 3 7. A reciprocal easement will be granted to allow for access and parking by both parties. 8. The petitioner testified that a major benefit of the proposed amendment is to allow much easier access to the parking area at the rear of 161 Federal Street. Originally, the Board approved a Variance for a driveway to be less that the required twelve (12D feet wide to serve the property. The proposed amendment to the plot plan now provides an easier way to access the parking behind 161 Federal Street. 9. The property at 2 Griffin Place is a three-family dwelling unit with no legal parking spaces. Currently, residents informally park in front of the building. The petitioner is proposing to formalize parking for 2 Griffin Place by providing four (4) parking spaces.The property at 2 Griffin Place is not required to have any parking as there is no change of the number of units and there are currently no formal parking spaces at the property. 10. The petitioner is proposing to provide four (4) parking spaces at 161 Federal Street to serve the three (3) residential units at 2 Griffin Place. The parking at 161 Federal Street is specifically to allow for the preservation of an existing large tree at the rear left corner of the 161 Federal Street property. 11. The petitioner requests that the plot plan that was originally approved as part of the September 2, 2015 decision be amended. 12. The maintenance of Griffin Way will continue to be done by the owner or their assigns as the Right- Of-Way is privately owned. 13. At the public hearings three (3) members of the public spoke in favor and one (1) spoke opposition to,the proposed amendment. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, and the Petitioner's presentation and public testimony,makes the following findings: The Board finds that the modified access to allow passage over Griffin Place for access at 161 Federal Street and the request for four (4) additional parking spaces is not more detrimental than the previously approved plan. City of Salem Board of Appeals November 30,2016 Project: 161 Federal Street Page 3 of 3 On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted with five (5) in favor, (Rebecca Curran (Chair), Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chau), Tom Watkins, Paul Viccica (alternate),James Hacker (alternate)) and none (0) opposed subject to allow four (4) additional parking spaces amending an original site plan associated with the September 2, 2015 Decision to the new site plan dated September 29, 2016, subject to the following terms,conditions and safeguards: All conditions set forth in the original decision dated September 2,2015 shall remain and be adhered to by the applicant, unless explicitly eliminated or amended in this decision. Special Conditions: 1. The petitioner shall attach a solid fence to the existing chain link fence across the rear of 161 Federal Street and along a portion between 161 Federal and 2 Griffin Place such that headlights will not shine on neighboring properties and snow will not be pushed across rear property lines. 2. A reciprocal easement to allow access to the rear of 161 Federal Street via Griffin Way shall be in place before a Certificate of Occupancy is obtained.

A public hearing on the above Petition was opened July 15, 2015 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, � 11. The public hearing was continued at the request of the applicant to August 19, 2015 and closed on this date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chau), Jimmy Tsitsmos, Mike Duffy,Tom Watkins,James Hacker (alternate). The Petitioner seeks a Special Permit per Sec. 3.3.2 Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance to change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use to allow four (4) residential dwelling units. The applicant is also seeking Variances per Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for relief from minimum lot area per dwelling unit and maximum height to allow a new dormer to slightly exceed the thirty- five (35') height limit.

Statements of Fact: 1. Attorney Grover presents the petition. 2. In the petition date-stamped June 23, 2015, the petitioner requests Special Permit per Sec. 3.3.2 Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance to change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use to allow four (4) residential dwelling units.The applicant is also seeking Variances per Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for relief from minimum lot area per dwelling unit and maximum height to allow a new dormer to slightly exceed the thirty-five (35') height limit. The applicant is also seeking Variances per Sec. 5.1.2 Location of Parking to allow two (2) of the required parking to be located off-site and Sec. 5.1.5 Design to allow the one-way use driveway to be less than the required twelve (12) feet wide. City of Salem Board of Appeals September 2,2015 Project: 161 Federal Street Page 2 of 4 3. The property served as a rectory for St.James church and is located in an R2 Zoning District. 4. The parcel is approximately 7,500 square feet of land with a three-story historic structure that is approximately 7,000 square feet of improved living area plus a basement and attic. 5. The petitioner proposes to convert the building from one non-conforming use of the rectory building to another nonconforming use to four (4) large residential dwelling units that range in size from 1,825 square feet to 2,900 square feet. 6. There is a permanent easement associated with 161 Federal Street for the use of six (6) parking spaces in the St.James Church parking lot across the street. 7. The petitioner originally requested a variance per Sec. 5.1.2 Location of Parking to allow two (2) of the required parking to be located off-site at the St.James Church property and withdrew this request. The petitioner proposes to locate all six (6) required parking spaces on the property to serve the residential dwelling units and another six (6) parking spaces in the St.James Church parking lot across the street. 8. The petitioner proposed to construct a new dormer that slightly exceeded the total building height limit of 35' feet. After consideration, the petitioner withdrew this request for a variance for relief maximum height to allow a new dormer to slightly exceed the thirty-five (35') height limit and will not construct a dormer. 9. The petitioner also requests a variance per Sec. 5.1.5 Design to allow the one-way use driveway to be less than the required twelve (12) feet wide. The petitioner plans to work with the abutter to place bollards or protective barrier between the property and driveway where the driveway significantly narrows. 10. The requested relief,if granted,would allow the Petitioner to change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use to allow four (4) residential dwelling units and to allow the one-way use driveway to be less than the required twelve (12) feet wide. 11. At the public hearings eight (8) members of the public spoke in favor and four (4) spoke opposition to,the petition. The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, and the Petitioner's presentation and public testimony,makes the following findings: Findings for Special Permit: The proposed use of a four (4) residential dwelling unit is not substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood. The building is not suitable for anything besides a multi-family dwelling unit as it would not be economically feasible to undertake the restoration of this scale as a single- family or two-family home. City of Salem Board of Appeals September 2,2015 Project: 161 Federal Street Page 3 of 4 Findings for Variances: 1) Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land,building,or structure involved generally not affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district is that the building was used as a rectory and is over 7,000 square feet. 2) Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve substantial hardship to the applicant as without the relief the applicant could not provide on-site parking spaces that meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 3) Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted with five (5) in favor (Peter A. Copelas (Vice-Chair), Jimmy Tsitsinos, Mike Duffy, Tom Watkins and James Hacker (alternate) and none (0) opposed to grant a Special Permit per Sec. 3.3.2 Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance to change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use to allow four (4) residential dwelling units and Variances per Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for relief from minimum lot area per dwelling unit and Sec. 5.1.5 Design to allow the one-way use driveway to be less than the required twelve (12) feet wide subject to the following terms, conditions 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 shall obtain street numbering from the City of Salem Assessor's Office and shall display said number so as to be visible from the street. 8.

Tremblay Director of Public Property Inspector of Building Zoning Enforcement Officer April 28, 1998 Mayor Stanley Usovicz City of Salem 93 Washington Street Salem, Mass . 01970 RE : Federal St . School Dear Mayor Usovicz : On April 28 , 1998 at approximately 8 : 05 a .m. , I received a call from Paul L'Heureux the Director of Building Services for our schools , concerning a board that had come loose and fallen from the brick roof vents at the Federal Street School . He informed me that he contacted a contractor and had a lift on the job site so as to re-secure any further loose items at the roof vents and felt I should inspect said brick vents while the lift was on site . At approximately 9 : 15 a .m. I met with Mr . L ' Heaureux, Mr . Collins of the Engineering Department and Mr . Plant of Boston Chimney at the job site . At which time I climbed aboard the lift and conducted an inspection of all roof top brick vents . It is my finding that all of the brick vents are unsafe and should be removed as soon as possible . But my greater concern of the moment are the two brick vents located nearest the Federal St . School front entrance at the right hand side facing the building should be removed immediately to a safe height. Speaking to the contractor on site he estimated that this could be done in approximately four (4 ) days, I recommended this be done immediately. The remainder of the roof brick vents should also be removed as soon as the school year is completed. I do feel that the work being done on the existing cables will secure the brick vents temporarily until the school closing.
