1. The parking area on the premises can accommodate 5 cars with additional street parking of up to 10
cars. The addition of a tasting room to the facility will have minimal impact on parking, traffic flow
and safety.
2. The introduction of a tasting room has no impact the environment and adequacy of utilities. The
tasting room does not significantly change the use and therefore would not be substantially more
detrimental that the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted four (4) in
favor (Ms. Curran, Mr. Dionne, Mr. Copelas and Mr. Tsitsinos) and none (0) in opposed, to approve the
