Y CLERK'S OFFICE
SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 217 FORT AVENUE
A hearing on this Petition was held on September 9, 1981 with the
following Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman; Messrs. Piemonte, ,
Hacker, LaBrecque, and Feeherry. Notices of the hearing were sent to
abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published
in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 40A.
The Petitioners have requested a Special Permit to use a temporary
trailer during the months May through and including September 'for a boat•
rental and gift shop at 217 Fort Avenue. The property in question is in
an R-C District. The Special Permit- which has been requested may therefore be
granted upon a finding by the Board of Appeals, that the grant of the Special
Permit will promote the health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's
inhabitants.
The Board of Appeals, after considering the evidence presented at
the hearing; and after viewing the property, makes the following findings
of facto-
1) Mr. Sweeney has conducted a business at this location for
approximately forty years pursuant to a permit issued by the Park Department.
2) The Petitioner-requires a trailer at the site because the blizzard
of 1978 destroyed the structure which previously existed at the site.
3) The Petitioner's business provides security for this area of the
Salem Willows and for the boats at the location.
4) The Salem Park Department strongly supports the Petitioners''
request.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and on the evidence
presented at the public hearing, the Board of Appeals unanimously concluded that
the proposed use will promote the health, safety, convenience and welfare of the
City's inhabitants and that the proposed use is in harmony with the Salem
Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, the Board voted 5-0 in favor of granting
a Special Permit to the Petitioners.
The Special Permit is granted in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ROBERT AND BETTY J. SWEENEY CONCERNING PROPERTY LOCATED:
AT 217 FORT AVENUE (R-C District)
A hearing on this Petition was held on July 13, 1979 with the following Board members
present: James Boulger - Chairman; Arthur LaBrecque; Douglas Hopper; John Nutting; ,
and Associate Member Joseph Piemonte. Notices were sent to abutters and others, and
duly published in the Salem Evening News on June 29, 1979 and July 6, 1979 in accordance
with Mass. General Laws, Chapter .808.
The petitioners are requesting a Special Permit to operate their retail business
in a temporary trailer adjacent to the Salem Willows Pier, until such time as the
City makes a decision as to the rebuilding of a structure on the new pier. They
operate a gift shop and boat rental business from the building that was on the
entrance of the old pier for 40 years. The trailer would operate May thru September
after which the trailer would be taken. out of the park until the next season. .
John Ahern, Chairman of the Park Commissioners appeared and spoke in favor of the
petition. . He stated that the Board of Park Commissioners are very much in favor
of this petition, that the Sweeney family has been an institution at Salem Willows
and they are a detriment to vandalism. He stated that he does not know what will
happen relative to reconstruction of the building - they have no money to rebuild at
present.
Approximately 50 people present at the hearing indicated their approval of the petition.
No one appeared in opposition.
The Board voted unanimously to grant the Special Permit for the operation of the
business in the temporary trailer for 5 months of each year for 2 years (1979 and 1980)
The Board found that it could grant the Special Permit without substantial detriment
to the neighborhood and without derogating from the intent of the Salem Zoning By-law.
