r
A hearing on this Petition was held on March 16, 1983 with the following Board '
Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. ROpper and LaBrecque and
Feeherry. Notices of the hearing were 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.
The Petitioners have requested the right to construct a one-story addition of
approximately 15' x 20' to an existing garage at the site. This will expand
the existing non-conforming structure at the property in question.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request
for a Special Permit is Section V 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 non-conforming 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 health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
The Board, after considering the evidence at the hearing on this matter,
incorporates into this decision the findings of fact made in this Board's October 20,
1982 decision.
On the basis of these findings of fact and on the evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes: (i) that the proposed addition
will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing structure to the
neighborhood, (ii) that the proposed use of the property will promote the health,
safety, convenience, and welfare of the City's inhabitants, and (iii) that the
proposed use of the property is in harmony with the Salem Zoning Ordinance.
Accordingly, the Board unanimously approves the granting of the requested
Special Permit to the Petitioners:
