A hearing on this petition was held on August 5, 1987 with the following
Board Members present: James Hacker Chairman; Messrs. , Bencal, Fleming,
Luzinski and Labreque. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and
others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem

Laws Chapter 40A.
The petitioner, represented by Attorney George Vallis is the owner of the
property and is requesting a Special Permit to extend a non-conforming
rear setback to allow construction of an addition at 4 Moffatt Road.
Petitioner is proposing to erect a family room to the rear of the existing
dwelling which will be less than the required 30 feet from the rear lot line.
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 Section VIII F and IX D,
grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of noncon-
forming 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 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, makes the following findings of fact:
1. There was no opposition to the petition.
2. The petitioner has discussed the planned addition with her
abutters and others.
3. The petitioners lot is larger than the average lot in the
neighborhood.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearing, the Hoard of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. The proposed addition will not be substantially detrimental to
to the neighborhood;
