DECISION ON THE PETITION OF SAMPSON CHANDLER CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 8 HERSEY STREET SALEhiFI ':$S
A hearing on this petition was held on March 10, 1982 with.,the following
Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman, Messrs. Hacker, Piemonte,
LaBrecque and Feeherry. Notice-:of the hearing was sent to abutters and other
and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Euning News
in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The Petitioner :has requested a Special Permit to convert the two-family
dwelling at 8 Hersey Street into a three-family dwelling. The property at 8 Hersey
Street is in an R-2 district. The Special Permit which has been requested may there-
fore be granted upon a finding by the Board of Appeal, that the grant of the Special
Permit will promote the public health, -safety, convenience and welfare of the City's
inhabitants.
The Board of Appeal, after considering the evidence presented at the hearing,
and after viewing the property, makes the following findings of fact:
1) There is adequate off-street parking at the site for a third dwelling.
- 2) The proposed use of the property was not opposed by abutters or others.
3) The building is presently owner-occupied.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and on the evidence presented at
the public hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes unanimously that the proposed
use will promote the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the City's
inhabitants and that the proposed use is in harmony with the Zoning Ordinance.
Accordingly, the Board votes in favor of granting a Special Permit to the Petitimers.
The Special Permit is therefore granted in accordance with the following terms
. and conditions:
1) The property may be converted into a three-family dwelling.
2) The use of the property is conditioned upon both the continued
ownership�.and occupancy of the property by the. Petitioner., In the event ^`
that the Petitioner ceases to own or occupy the property; the property
shall revert back to its prior use as a two-family dwelling,. Provided,
however, that nothing in this decision shall be interpreted to prevent a
reapplication to this Board in the event that Petitioner ceases to own or
occupy the property.
3) The Petitioner shall prepare an adequate set of plans for submission
to and approval by the Building Inspector prior to any work on the site.
4) Petitioner shall comply with all applicable provisions of Mass. Gen. Laws
and the State Building Code relating to smoke detectors and shall submit plans
for stamped approval to the Salem Fire Marshall.
