The hearing was closed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Ms.
Curran (Chau),Mr. Duffy, Mr.Watkins, Mr. Copelas,Mr. Tsitsinos (alternate).
The Petitioner seeks a Special Permit per Sec. 3.3.5 Non-Conforming Single- and Two-Family Residential
Structures and a Special Permit per Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements of the Salem Zoning
Ordinance.
Statements of fact:
1. In the petition date-stamped December 4, 2014, the Petitioner requested a Special Permit to allow the
reconstruction of a rear addition to an existing non-conforming Single-and Two-Family Residential
Structure and a Special Permit to allow a reduction in the minimum lot size per dwelling unit.
2. Mr.Joseph Gagnon,petitioner,presented the application for 20 Linden Street.
3. The petitioner has demolished an existing 199.5 square foot existing rear addition and would like to
rebuild a new 196 square foot addition at the rear of the residential structure.
4. The existing 199.5 square foot rear addition of this historic structure did not meet current zoning
requirements as the structure was located 1.3 feet from the side yard lot line. The applicant requested
a Special Permit for the proposed new addition does not meet the minimum side yard setback zoning
requirements.

provisions of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance:
Findings for Special Permits:
1. The project serves social, economic and community needs by rehabilitating and renovating an existing

4. There are no detrimental impacts on the natural environment and drainage.
5. The proposal fits with the character of the neighborhood.
6. The potential fiscal impact,including impact on City tax base and employment are positive.
7. The desired relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without
nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the City of Salem Zoning
Ordinance.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted five (5) in favor

grant Special Permits, to allow the reconstruction of a rear addition and to allow a reduction in minimum lot
size per dwelling unit, subject to the following terms, conditions, and safeguards:

Attachment#1
An application is being submitted to the Board of Anneal for the following reasons:
I am proposing to change an existing non conforming single family residential home to a
two family residential home. This dwelling unit is located at 20 Linden Street and is in a
R2 residential zoning district.
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Required: 7,500 square feet per unit
Proposed: 8,250 square feet for two units*
Required: 15'minimum depth of front yard
Proposed: 27'existing depth of front yard
Required: 10' minimum width of right side yard
Proposed: 4' existing width of right side yard*
Required: 10' minimum width of left side yard
Proposed: 20' existing width of left side yard
Required: 30'minimum depth of rear yard
Proposed: 67' existing depth of rear yard
Attachment#2
I am requesting a Special Permit under Sections 3.3.5 and 4.1.1 of the Zoning Ordinance
in order to:
1) Section 3.3.5 = Change from an existing non conforming single family residential
structure to a two family residential structure.
2) Section 3.3.5 =Demolish the existing 199.5/sf(kitchen)addition located at the
rear of this residential structure. Rebuild a new 196/sf kitchen addition at rear of
this residential structure. The existing kitchen addition is unstable, beyond repair
and does not meet current zoning requirements.
3) Section 4.1.1 =minimum lot area per dwelling unit for a single family. The
required minimum lot area is 7,500/sf per unit. The proposed lot area is 8,250/sf
for two units.
Statement of Grounds
Section 3.3.5
Change to an existing non conforming single family residential structure
...to a two family residential structure
a) Social, economic or community needs served by the proposal;
This dwelling unit is currently in extensive disrepair. Both the dwelling unit and the yard
have not been properly maintained for many years. This proposal allows the applicant to
thoroughly clean out both the dwelling unit and the yard. Then,to completely renovate
both the interior and the exterior of this structure. This will create a new beautiful two
family residential dwelling unit that will help enhance not only the neighborhood,but the
city of Salem. This proposed change will result in 2 new apartment style living units that
are both affordable and in demand to local residents in Salem.
b) Traffic flow and safety,including parking and loading;
Both the traffic flow and safety will not be adversely affected by this proposal. This
proposed two family unit has adequate off street parking as required by Salem's
residential zoning district. There will be 4 individual (and independent)off street parking
spaces. Salem zoning requires only 3 independent off street parking spaces. (please see
attached plot plan).
C) Adequacy of utilities and other public services;
All utilities and other public services are adequate and meet all local public services and
residential zoning requirements.
d) Impacts on the natural environment,including drainage;
There will be no impact/change to either the natural environment or the lot drainage.
e) Neighborhood character; and
The character of the neighborhood is primarily made up of multi family residential homes
and some single family homes.
f) Potential fiscal impact, including impact on City tax base and employment;
Rebuilding this residential property from a single family to a two family will certainly
increase it's overall value as well as the city's assessed value. Thus, increasing the city's
residential tax revenue on this property. Also, additional housing will likely bring
additional employment/revenue to the City of Salem.
Statement of Grounds
Section 3.3.5
Change to an existing non conforming single family residential structure
...by removing the existing 199.5/sf kitchen addition at the rear of this structure
(that is beyond repair) and replacing it with a new 196/sf kitchen addition that will
use less square footage than the existing addition. This change will substantially
increase the existing right side setback. (Please review attached Plot Plan).
a) Social,economic or community needs served by the proposal;
This dwelling unit is currently in extensive disrepair. Both the dwelling unit and the yard
have not been properly maintained for many years. This proposal allows the applicant to
thoroughly clean out both the dwelling unit and the yard. Then,to completely renovate
both the interior and the exterior of this structure. Once completed, this will create a new
beautiful two family residential dwelling unit that will help enhance not only the
neighborhood, but the city of Salem. This proposed change will result in 2 new
apartment style living units that are both affordable and in demand to local residents in
Salem.
b) Traffic flow and safety,including parking and loading;
Both the traffic flow and safety will not be adversely affected by this proposal. This
proposed two family unit has adequate off street parking as required by Salem's
residential zoning district. There will be 4 individual (and independent)off street parking
spaces. Salem zoning requires only 3 independent off street parking spaces. (please see
attached plot plan).
c) Adequacy of utilities and other public services;
All utilities and other public services are adequate and meet all local public services and
residential zoning requirements.
d) Impacts on the natural environment, including drainage;
There will be no impact/change to either the natural environment or the lot drainage.
e) Neighborhood character; and
The character of the neighborhood is primarily made up of multi family residential homes
and some single family homes.
I) Potential fiscal impact,including impact on City tax base and employment;
Rebuilding this residential property from a single family to a two family will certainly
increase it's overall value as well as the city's assessed value. Thus,increasing the city's
residential tax revenue on this property. Also,additional housing will likely bring
additional employment/revenue to the City of Salem.

Attachment#I
An application is being submitted to the Board of Appeal for the following reasons:
I am proposing to change an existing non conforming single family residential home to a
two family residential home. This dwelling unit is located at 20 Linden Street and is in a
R2 residential zoning district.
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Required: 7,500 square feet per unit
Proposed: 8,250 square feet for two units*
Required: 15'minimum depth of front yard
Proposed: 27'existing depth of front yard
Required: 10'minimum width of right side yard
Proposed: 4' existing width of right side yard*
Required: 10'minimum width of left side yard
Proposed: 20'existing width of left side yard
Required: 30'minimum depth of rear yard
Proposed: 67' existing depth of rear yard
Attachment#2
I am requesting a Special Permit under Sections 3.3.5 and 4.1.1 of the Zoning Ordinance
in order to:
1) Section 3.3.5 = Change from an existing non conforming single family residential
structure to a two family residential structure.
2) Section 3.3.5 =Demolish the existing 199.5/sf(kitchen) addition located at the
rear of this residential structure. Rebuild a new 196/sf kitchen addition at rear of
this residential structure. The existing kitchen addition is unstable, beyond repair
and does not meet current zoning requirements.
3) Section 4.1.1 =minimum lot area per dwelling unit for a single family. The
required minimum lot area is 7,500/sf per unit. The proposed lot area is 8,250/sf
for two units.
Statement of Grounds
Section 3.3.5
Change to an existing non conforming single family residential structure
...to a two family residential structure
a) Social,economic or community needs served by the proposal;
This dwelling unit is currently in extensive disrepair. Both the dwelling unit and the yard
have not been properly maintained for many years. This proposal allows the applicant to
thoroughly clean out both the dwelling unit and the yard. Then,to completely renovate
both the interior and the exterior of this structure. This will create a new beautiful two
family residential dwelling unit that will help enhance not only the neighborhood,but the
city of Salem. This proposed change will result in 2 new apartment style living units that
are both affordable and in demand to local residents in Salem.
b) Traffic flow and safety,including parking and loading;
Both the traffic flow and safety will not be adversely affected by this proposal. This
proposed two family unit has adequate off street parking as required by Salem's
residential zoning district. There will be 4 individual (and independent)off street parking
spaces. Salem zoning requires only 3 independent off street parking spaces. (please see
attached plot plan).
C) Adequacy of utilities and other public services;
All utilities and other public services are adequate and meet all local public services and
residential zoning requirements.
d) Impacts on the natural environment, including drainage;
There will be no impact/change to either the natural environment or the lot drainage.
e) Neighborhood character; and
The character of the neighborhood is primarily made up of multi family residential homes
and some single family homes.
f) Potential fiscal impact,including impact on City tax base and employment;
Rebuilding this residential property from a single family to a two family will certainly
increase it's overall value as well as the city's assessed value. Thus, increasing the city's
residential tax revenue on this property. Also, additional housing will likely bring
additional employment/revenue to the City of Salem.
Statement of Grounds
Section 3.3.5
Change to an existing non conforming single family residential structure
...by removing the existing 199.5/sf kitchen addition at the rear of this structure
(that is beyond repair) and replacing it with a new 196/sf kitchen addition that will
use less square footage than the existing addition. This change will substantially
increase the existing right side setback. (Please review attached Plot Plan).
a) Social, economic or community needs served by the proposal;
This dwelling unit is currently in extensive disrepair. Both the dwelling unit and the yard
have not been properly maintained for many years. This proposal allows the applicant to
thoroughly clean out both the dwelling unit and the yard. Then, to completely renovate
both the interior and the exterior of this structure. Once completed,this will create a new
beautiful two family residential dwelling unit that will help enhance not only the
neighborhood,but the city of Salem. This proposed change will result in 2 new
apartment style living units that are both affordable and in demand to local residents in
Salem.
b) Traffic flow and safety,including parking and loading;

proposed two family unit has adequate off street parking as required by Salem's

residential zoning requirements.
d) Impacts on the natural environment,including drainage;

e) Neighborhood character; and
The character of the neighborhood is primarily made up of multi family residential homes
and some single family homes.

increase it's overall value as well as the city's assessed value. Thus,increasing the city's
residential tax revenue on this property. Also,additional housing will likely bring
additional employment/revenue to the City of Salem.
