1 . There was no opposition to the proposal .
2. Five abutters signed a petition in favor of the proposal .
3. Changes to the exterior of the dwelling are minimal and in
harmony with other dwellings in the neighborhood.
4. Property improvements would enhance the quality of life for the

Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which expecially affect the subject property
but not the district in general ;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship to the petitioner;

Sirs:
As a result of the notice received concerning the Board of Appeal hearing for
the above listed name and address, the Salem Fire Department requests the
following items to be placed on record:
The Salem Fire Department has no objection to the granting of a Variance/Special
Permit to allow the demolition of the present garage and allow the rebuilding of
a new two car garage. The present structure does in fact constitute a fire hazard
and is open to possible vandalism. The rebuilding of a new garage would indeed re-
move this problem.
