of a second-story master bedroom, shed dormer, cellar entry extension, and storage shed to an
existing non-conforming single-family residence, for the property located at 21 CARLTON STREET
(112 Zoning District).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on April 16, 2014 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, 5 11. The
hearing was closed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Ms. Curran

The Petitioner seeks a Special Permit under Section 3.3.5 Nonconforming Single- and Two-Family Residential

4
Statements of fact:
1. In the petition date-stamped March 26, 2014, the Petitioner requested a Special Permit to allow the
addition of a second-story master bedroom, shed dormer, cellar entry extension, and storage shed to
the existing non-conforming single-family residence.
2. Attorney Charles A. Martins presented the petition for the property at 21 Carlton Street.
3. The existing structure is nonconforming with the dimensional requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed addition would increase the nonconformity of the minimum required depth of rear
yard and the nonconformity of the maximum lot coverage by all buildings. The existing depth of the
rear yard is 12 feet, and the existing lot coverage by all buildings is 39%. The proposed addition
would decrease the depth of rear yard to 11-feet, 6-inches, and would increase the lot coverage by all
buildings to 47%.
4. The petition proposes to add a 17-foot 5/15-inch by 14-Foot 7-inch addition with a master bedroom,
shed dormer, first floor cellar entry extension, and storage shed.
5. The property is currently a single-family residence and will remain a single-family residence.
6. At the public hearing, no members of the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the petition.
The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and
after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, and the Petitioner's
presentation and public testimony, makes the following findings that the proposed project meets the
provisions of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance:
Findings
1. The adverse effects of the proposal will not outweigh its beneficial impacts on the City or the
neighborhood.
2. Community needs are served by the proposal.

3. There will be no impact on parking or loading in the area, as the property will remain a single-family
residence.
4. The adequacy of utilities and public services to the building will remain the same as existing.
5. It is in keeping with the neighborhood character, particularly as the addition is at the back of the
property, and the proposed roofline is the same as the existing roofline.
G. The value of the home would increase, resulting in an increased tax base. This would have a positive
economic and fiscal impact.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted five (5) in favor
(Nit. Watkins, Ms. Curran, Mr. Dionne, Mr. Duffy, and Mr. Copelas) and none (0) opposed, to grant the
requested Special Permit to allow the addition of a second-story master bedroom, shed dormer, cellar entry
extension, and storage shed to an existing non-conforming single-family residence,'subject to the following
terms, conditions, and safeguards:
1. The 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. Exterior finishes of new construction shall be in harmony with the existing structure.
G. A Certificate of Occupancy is to be obtained.
7. A Certificate of Inspection is to be obtained.
8. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including,but
not limited to, the Planning Board
