City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals n `�
Petition of KATHERINE AND JOHN MACKAY requesting a Special Permit under Sec. 3.3.5 in
order to alter and expand a nonconforming front porch and construct a 19'x20' addition on
the single-family home located at 96 COLUMBUS AVE (R-1 Zoning District).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on July 18, 2012 pursuant to Mass General
Law Ch. 40A, § 11. The hearing was closed on July 18, 2012 with the following Zoning Board of
Appeals members present: Rebecca Curran (Chair), Annie Harris, Richard Dionne, Bonnie
Belair, and Jimmy Tsitsinos.
Petitioner seeks a Special Permit pursuant to Section 3.3.5 of the City of Salem Zoning
Ordinances.
Statements of fact:
1. In a petition date-stamped July 2, 2012, petitioner requested a Special Permit to replace
a nonconforming front porch, and to remove the garage and replace it with expanded
living space.
2. At the hearing on July 18, 2012, Bill Cass, 92 Columbus Avenue, spoke inksupport of the
project. No one spoke in opposition.
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 maybe granted without detriment to the public good and without
nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the zoning ordinance,
1
since the proposed addition is consistent with the character of the neighborhood and will
have minimal impact on abutters.
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
Y. g PP
voted five (5) in favor (Curran, Dionne, Belair, Harris, and Tsitsinos) and none (0) opposed, to
grant the requested Special Permit. A Special Permit under Section 3.3.5 is granted to allow for
the proposed addition and new front porch as shown on the submitted plans.
The Board of Appeals voted to grant petitioner's request for a 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. Exterior finishes of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing
structure.
6. A Certificate of Occupancy is to be obtained.
7. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or commission having
jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the Planning Board.
8. Unless this Decision expressly provides otherwise, any zoning relief granted does
not empower or authorize the Petitioner to demolish or reconstruct the
structure(s) located on the subject property to an extent of more than fifty
percent (50%) of its floor area or more than fifty percent (50%) of its
replacement cost at the time of destruction. If the structure is demolished by
any means to an extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost
or more than fifty percent (50%) of its floor area at the time of destruction, it
shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of the
Ordinance.
