A hearing on this petition was held March 19, 1997 with the following Board
Members present: Gary Barrett, Chairman, Nina Cohen, Albert Hill, Paul
Valaskagis 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 4OA.
Petitioner, owner of the property, are requesting a Variance and Special
Permit of a non-conforming lot to enable to enlarge by means of an addition
for the property located 8 Derby Street.
The province 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, extent 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 neighbor
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 Variances which have been requested may be granted upon a finding of
the Board that:
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the
land, building or structure involved and which are not generally
affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district.
B. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the
petitioner.

C. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented,
and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1. Petition was presented by David M. Taubeneck, owner of the property.
2. A letter was submitted from the Historic Commission requesting review
and approval by commission.
3. The petitioner would like the addition as his family is growing and
needs the extra room.
4. There was no opposition to this petition.

at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
but not the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship on the petitioner.
3. The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to
the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from
the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance.
4. The Special Permit granted can be granted in harmony with the
neighborhood and will promote the public health, safety, convenience
and welfare of the city's inhabitants.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the
relief requested, subject to the following conditions:
1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, codes
ordinances and regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions
submitted and approved by the Building Inspector.

NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable)
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of
other buildings within the community.
The Federal style half-house is relatively unusual in the Salem Common
neighborhood; 3 Parker Court is an example of this house type. It is a
two-story three-bay house with a gable roof and sidehall entry beneath a
bracketed hood. Other notable features include second-story windows rising to
the eaves, flush eaves in the gable ends, and a large stuccoed chimney. An ell
extends across the full rear elevation.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the
building relates to the development of the community.
In 1817, William B. and Abigail Parker purchased the lot on which this house
stands from John Watson. Parker Court was laid out in 1819 on land owned by
Parker. Although the earliest documentation of any houses on the court occured
in 1831 , when Parker was taxed for three houses here, it is probable that this
house predates 1831 . Parker, a merchant and sea captain, lived on Pleasant
Street, and was active in real estate development in the Salem Common area. 3
Parker Court is representative of the modest houses Parker erected in the area.
Capt. Parker, (1798-1875) , commanded vessels in the East India trade owned by
John Andrew. Following his retirement from the sea he served as president of
the Naumkeag Bank until his death. From 1852 until 1916 the house was owned by
Timothy Coughlin, tailor (d. 1891) and subsequently his daughter, Elizabeth J.
Byrne.
