DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN & DIANNE DONAHUE FOR
A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 30 PRESCOTT ST. (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held November 11 , 1990 with the following Board
Members present: Richard A. Bencal , Chairman; Joseph Correnti , Richard Febonio,
Edward Luzinski and Mary Jane Stirgwolt. 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.
Petitioners, owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to increase
the already nonconforming side setback requirements to allow deck and stairs.
Property is located in an R-2 district.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request
for a Special Permit is Section B 10, 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
Section VIII F and IX D, 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 . There was no opposition.
2. Granting the Special Permit requested would allow for the removal of
existing stairs and porch and to replace them with new stairs and porch
to allow better accessibility to newly remodeled kitchen.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The granting of the Special Permit requested would enhance the quality
of life for the petitioners.
2. The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to the
neighborhood and it will promote the public health, safety, convenience
and welfare of the City inhabitants.
