DECISION ON THE PETITION OF DONNA CLIFFORD REQUESTING A SPECIAL 0/ ('F
PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 26 GABLES CIRCLE (R-1)
A hearing on this petition was held April 16, 1997 with the following
Board Members present: Gary Barrett; Chairman, Nina Cohen, Joseph
Ywuc, Richard Dionne and Arthur LeBrecque. Notice of the hearing was
sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly
published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioner is requesting a Special Permit for office space for home
occupation involving the use of a room in a dwelling for the property
located at 26 Gables Circle.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to
this request for a Special Permit is Section 5-3(j ) , which provides
as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance,
the Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and
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 Special 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 City'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. The petitioner, Donna Clifford, an R.N. as well a Holistic
Nurse, represented herself.
2. Petitioner stated that there will be no employees and will only
see one or two patients a day.
3. The sole opposition was from Mrs. Bigosian of 28 Gallows Hill
Road with concerns of parking.
