Decision
City of Salem Board of Appeals
Petition of JENNIFER FIRTH requesting a Special Permit under Section 9.4 Special Permits and
Section 3.3.5 Nonconforming Single-and Two-Family Residential Structures of the Salem Zoning
Ordinance, to allow the addition of a solarium onto the rear of the existing non-conforming single
family residence, for the property located at 3 CARPENTER STREET (112 Zoning District).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on April 16, 2014 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11. The
hearing was closed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Ms. Curran
(Chair), Mr. Dionne, Mr. Duffy, Mr. Watkins, and Mr. Copelas (Alternate).
The Petitioner seeks a Special Permit under Section 9.4 Special Permits and Section 3.3.5 Nonconforming Single-
and Tivo-Famiyl Residential Staicluirs of the Salem Zoning Ordinance.
Statements of fact:
1. In the petition date-stamped March 25, 2014, the Petitioner requested a Special Permit in order to
construct a solarium addition onto the existing nonconforming structure.
2. Ms.Jennifer Firth and Mr.John Firth presented the petition for the property at 3 Carpenter Street.
3. The existing single-family residence is non-conforming, with less than the required minimum lot area,
minimum lot frontage, minimum lot width, minimum depth of front yard, minimum depth of side
yard, and minimum depth of rear yard. The existing depth of rear yard is ten feet, rather than the
required 30 feet. The proposed single-story solarium addition would further reduce the depth of the
rear yard to nine feet.
4. 1he requested relief, if granted, would allow the Petitioner to add a solarium onto the rear of the
existing non-conforming single family residence, decreasing the depth of the rear yard from ten feet to
nine feet.
5. At the public hearing, no members of the public spoke in support 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 property will remain a single-family residence, and the adverse impacts of the proposal will not
outweigh its beneficial impacts on the community.
2. There will be no impact on parking or loading in the area, as the property will remain a single-family
residence.
3. The adequacy of utilities and public services to the building will remain the same as existing.

4. It will have a positive impact on the neighborhood character.
5. There are no negative environmental impacts.
6. 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
(Mr. 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 solarium onto the rear of the 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
g
Buildin 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.
6. 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
