FOR 20 WALTER STREET, SALEM. 15
Q� 10 17 AMt U7
A Public Hearing on this petition was held August 85 with the following
Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; MepfLE* Charnas, Gauthier,
Luzinski and Strout. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters an others and
notices of the hearing were properly published in Pews in
accordance with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40A.
Petitioners, owners of the premises, request a special permit to allow them to
construct a second story catwalk and a spiral staircase addition to the
already nonconforming premises which would violate rear setback requirements of
the Ordianance. See the plans filed with the Board for this proposal in
this R-2 district. •
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 recon-
struction 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 hearing the evidence presented at the hearing,
makes the following findings of fact;
1 . No opposition was present to the plan;
2. The plan would not substantially affect the neighborhood in anyway.
On the basis of the above findins of fact and on the evidence presented at
the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The petition can be granted without disjecting from the intent
and purpose of the Ordinance;
2. The proposed extention of the nonconforming rear setback will
not be substantially more detrimental to the public good than
the existing structure.
Therefore, the Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0 to grant the special
PETITION OF CYNTHIA ROWE AND MICHAEL ANGERAME FOR A
SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 20 WALTER STREET' .
