336 LAFAYETTE STREET - BUILDING INSPECTION 336 LAFAYETTE STREET , 201 Fort Avenue Cha rick Trust v . �-Ck)ND17"j.4 CITY OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF APPEAL 'k T_Ml 120 WAST 1INGIONS11112111 # 23 5 Fn x:u.:978-619-5681 _X:978-740-0404 Nhyolt FILE # CITY CLERK, SALEM, MASS, 'April 4, 2012 Decision City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals Petition of THE SIGN CENTER (on behalf of SALEM SEAPORT CREDIT UNION) requesting a Variance in order to add signage that exceeds the square footage allowed by Sec. 4-50 of the City of Salem Code of Ordinances and Sec. 8.2 of the Salem Zoning Ordinance on the property located at 336 LAFAYETTE ST(R-2). A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on January 18, 2012 pursuant to Mass General Law Ch. 40A, § 11. The hearing was continued to March 21, 2012 and closed on that date with the following Zoning Board of Appeals members present: Rebecca Curran (Chair), Annie Harris, Richard Dionne, Jamie Metsch, Jimmy Tsitsinos and Bonnie Belair. Petitioner seeks a Variance pursuant to Article 111, Sections 4-50.1 and 4-50.5, of the City of Salem Code of Ordinances, and Section 8.2 of the Salem Zoning Ordinance. Statements of fact: 1. In a petition date-stamped January 24, 2012, petitioner requested Variances from the requirements for signage on a nonconforming use in a residential zone. Two signs were proposed: an addition of a 36" x 120" pole cover to the existing free-standing sign, and one new 13 square foot building sign at the rear. 2. Jay Kahn of The Sign Center presented the petition on behalf of Salem Seaport Credit union at the hearing. 3. At the hearing, one member of the public and several Board members expressed concern about the size of the proposed free-standing sign addition, considering the residential neighborhood in which it is located. 4. At the March 21, 2012 meeting, the applicant withdrew the request for the addition to the free-standing sign and requested relief only to install the building sign. The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the plans and petition submitted, makes the following findings: 1. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the zoning ordinance. 2. In permitting such change, the Board of Appeals requires certain appropriate conditions and safeguards as noted below. On the basis of the above findings of fact and all evidence presented at the public hearing including, but not limited to, the Plans, Documents and testimony, the Zoning Board of Appeals concludes: 1. A Variance from Article III, Sections 4-50 and 4-51 from the Code of Ordinances and from Section 8.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, is granted to allow for the proposed building sign only (and not the proposed changes to the free-standing sign), as shown in the submitted plans. In consideration of the above, the Salem Board of Appeals voted, five (5) in favor (Harris, Metsch, Dionne, Tsitsinos and Belair, Curran abstaining) and none (0) opposed, to grant petitioner's request for a Variance and Special Permit subject to the following terms, conditions, and safeguards: 1. 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. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the Planning Board. /��.Lr�c-ti C.C�v�.,r..,.L�•��rL�L Rebecca Curran, Chair Salem Board of Appeals A COPY OF THIS DECISION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE CITY CLERK Appeal from this decision, if any, shall be made pursuant to Section 17 of the Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, and shall be filed within 20 days of filing of this decision in the office of the City Clerk.

Notice of the hearing was 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. Petitioners, owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to extend nonconforming use and structure allowing for construction of two additions. Property is located in an R-2 district. The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request for a Special Permit is Section 5-3(j ) , which provides as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in Section 8-6 and 9-4, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such change, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood. In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests, guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding by the Board 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 careful consideration of the evidence presented at the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact: 1. The property has been used as a commercial building for many years. 2. There are other commercial properties in the general area. 3. The new design and reconfiguration would allow petitioner to better serve customers and comply with the new Americans with Disabilities Act. PETITION OF ST. JOSEPH'S CREDIT UNION SPECIAL PERMIT AT 336 LAFAYETTE ST. , SALEM page two 4 . The remodeled structure would help to beautify and upgrade the general area. 5. The addition would not encroach on any front setbacks. On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: 1. The Special Permit requested can 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. 2. The granting of the Special Permit requested will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants and may be granted in harmony with the neighborhood. Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the Special Permit requested, subject to the following conditions: 1 . 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. 3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety shall be strictly adhered to. 4 . Petitioner shall obtain a legal building permit.
