DECISION ON THE PETITION OF STUTZ PLAISTED REQUESTING A SPECIAL
PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 GREENLEDGE AVENUE (B1\I)
A hearing on this petition was held December 16, 1998 with the
following Board Members present: Nina Cohen;Chairman, Richard Dionne,
Michael Ward, Stephen Buczko and Stephen Harris. 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 are requesting a Special Permit for relief from density to
construct an addition for the property located at 5 Greenledge
Avenue.
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 evi-dence
presented at the hearing and after viewing the plans, makes the
following findings of fact:
1 . Petitioner seeks a Special Permit for relief from the requirements
of the ordinance to construct an improvement to the existing non-
conforming commercial property located at 5 Greenledge Avenue,
which is owned by Stutz Realty Trust of Salem.
2 . The proposed addition will contain a utility room for two
furnaces, several waste oil tanks and the air compressors that are
currently used by the business, which is an automotive repair and
body shop. The proposed addition will increase the square footage
of the existing nonconforming structure to enable the business to
operate more efficiently.
3 . The Variance was withdrawn without prejudice.
4. There was no opposition to the special permit.

On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence
presented, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The Special Permit requested can be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good or without nullifying and substantially
derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the
ordinance.
2 . The granting of the Special Permit requested will promote the
public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's
inhabitants and may be granted in harmony with the neighborhood.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0 to
grant the Special Permit requested, subject to the following
conditions;
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.
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 Inspection shall be obtained.
