and notices of the hearing were properly'publisin eLa1E9$ Evening
News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioners are requesting a Special permit to allow four family dwelling
in the R-2 zone district.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this permit
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
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 that the
existing conconforming 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 considering the evidence presented at the hearing and
after viewing the plasn, makes the following findings of fact .
1 . There was neighborhood opposition.
2. Addition of this many units will make the parking problem
exacerbate.
3. Parking plans does not seem compatible for area.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 0-4 to deny the
petitioner the relief requested.

Dear Sirs :
We are writing in support of the action
requested by Mr. Richard Marrs.
We have been acquainted with Mr. Marrs for
quite some time now. Mr. Marrs lived on our street
for many years before he moved out to Marblehead.
However, he is still the owner of the residence
at 5 Williams Street, Salem, MA.
Sincerely,
David Arias & Family

Gentlemen:
I understand from Mr-. .Richard P. Marrs that he
and Mr. Norman Labreque have applied for a special
permit to have four units at Washington Square North.
I have known Mr. Marrs as a former neighbor and a
friend for .many years and feel that his plan as
presently proposed would not be detrimental to the
neighborhood.
Very truly yours,, /
Dolores E. Labrie

FROM: William B . Hoey, Jr .
Owner
1 Mall Street
Salem
SUBJECT : Proposal to Change Dwelling at 25 Washington Square
a 4 Unit Dwelling
I am the immediate abutter to the rear of the dwelling at 25
Washington Square .
I am against the proposal to allow 4 units at 25 Washington
Square .
My primary concern is the proposed change would aggravate the
parking situation in the neighborhood. Based on a copy I have of
the proposed parking; spaces 4 , 5 and 6 would take away at least
two currently available spaces on Mall Street. If you also
consider that most probably there would be two cars for each
dwelling unit , then there would be two. additional cars that would
need to park in the street . The net loss of street parking would
be four less spaces . Also considering the snow condition in the
winter time , I feel it unreasonable to allow 4 units at this
location.
The neighborhood is zoned for two families and if 25 Washington
Square was converted from a single to a two family, the currently
available parking on the property off Williams Street would be
sufficient.
This area is also very busy due to tourist traffic visiting Salem
Common and the Witch Museum. Taking away any available street
parking is certainly not in the best interest of the neighborhood
or the City of Salem.
Sincerely,
���
William B. Hoey , Jr .
