PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 13 INTERVALE ROAD (R-1)
A hearing on this petition was held May 13 , 1996 with the following
Board Members present: Gary Barrett, Chairman, Nina Cohen, Albert
Hill, Joseph Ywuc and Arthur LeBrecque. Notice of the hearing was

Petitioner is requesting a Special Permit to expand a non-conforming
structure to build an addition for the property located at 13
Intervale Road (R-1) .
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 _n 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 Susan and John Teheen were present during the
hearing, along with their builder Arthur Wenson from Timberline,
Inc.
2. Petitioner wants to add a second floor to the existing structure.
3. There will be no change to the existing foundation.
4. The structure is unoccupied at this time.
5. There was no neighborhood opposition.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence
presented, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
