Petitioner is requesting a Special Permit\Variance to enlarge a non-

The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to
this request for a Special Permit is Section 5-3(j ) , 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 Sections 8-6 and 9-4 , 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 . The Petitioner requested and was granted leave to withdraw the
Variance without prejudice.
2 . Petitioner would like to enlarge the 2nd floor apartment unit
by adding two dormers.
3. A letter was submitted from Staley McDermet with concerns of the
petitioner wanting to increase the number of dwelling units at
the property.
4 . Bill Wilkins, 29 Upham Street appeared to speak in favor of this
petition.
