The Petitioners have requested a Special Permit to convert the existing thYee—
family dwelling at this property into two condominium units.
This proposed condominium conversion is regulated. by the terms of the City
of Salem's condominium conversion ordinance. The Special Permit that has been
requested may therefore be granted only upon a finding by the Board of Appeals that
(1) the grant of the Special Permit will not adversely impact upon the city's existing
stock of rental units for low and moderate income families and elderly people on
fixed incomes, (2) that the grant of the Special Permit is not contrary to the
City's Master Plan, and (3) the grant of the Special Permit will not have an adverse
effect on the neighborhood.
The Board of Appeals, after considering the evidence at the hearing, and
after viewing the property makes the following findings of fact:
1. The owners currently occupy one of the two units in this building
and propose to convert the property to condominiums to allow them to sell the
. other unit.
2. The proposed conversion of this property to two condominium units in
no way conflicts with the Master Plan of the City of Salem.
3. The conversion of the property to condominiums will have negligible impact
on the existing stock of rental units in the City of Salem for the elderly
and for families of low and moderate income.
4. No hardship is caused by the proposed condominium conversion to the tenant in
the property. Indeed, the owners have offered the tenant the opportunity to to buy his
unit and he is currently considering that option.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and on the evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Board of Appeals by a 5 to 0 vote concluded that the proposed
condominium conversion is in harmony with the condominium conversion ordinance of
the City of Salem. Accordingly, the Board voted in favor of granting the requested
( / Special Permit in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
