The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to

conditions set forth in Sections 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 Soecial 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 Citv' 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 . Petitioner, Kathryn M. Harper represented herself.
2 . A Special Permit was requested for relief from height and
dimensional requirements to expand an existing non-conforming
