DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ALICE MARCHAND
FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 29 NORTHEY STREET (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held June 15, 1994 with the following Board
Members present: Stephen Touchette, Chairman; Gary Barrett, Albert Hill,
and Nina Cohen. Notice of the hearing was 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.
Petitioner, owner of the property, is requesting a Special Permit to allow
construction of a second floor porch which will extend nonconforming side
setbacks, the property is located in the R-2 district.
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 Section 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. There was no opposition to the petitioners request.
2. The granting of the special permit would allow the petitioners a fuller
use of their property.
3. This second story porch will be in harmony with the neighborhood.

City/Town State Zip Code 4
The current exemption of "homeowners" was extended to include owner-occupied ---
dwellings of six units or less and to allow such homeowners to engage anin-
dividual for hire who does not possess a license, Irovided that the owner
acts as supervisor. (State Building Code Section 109.1 . 1
DEFINITION OF HOMEOWNER:
Person(s) who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to re-
side, on which there is, or is intended to be, a one to six family dwelling,
attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures.
A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be
considered a homeowner. Such "homeowner" shall submit to the Building Official,__
on a form acceptable to the Building Official , that he/she shall be res onsible
for all such work performed under the building permit. Section 109. .
The undersigned "homeowner" assumes responsibility for compliance with the Sta-W,
Building code and other applicable codes, by-laws, rules and regulations.
The undersigned "homeowner" certifies that he/she understands the City of Salem--
Building Department minimum inspection procedures and requirements and that
he/she will comply with said procedures and requirements.
HOMEOWNER'S SIGNATURE
APPROVAL OF BUILDING OFFICIAL
NOTE: Three family dwellings 35,000 cubic fee . or larrr. will be required
to comply with State Building Code Section 127.0. Construction Control .
HOME OWNER' S EXEMPTION
The Code states that: "Any Home Owner performing work for which a building w•
permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section
(Section 109.1 .1 - Licensing of Construction Supervisors) ; provided that is
-— -
a Home Owner engages a person(s) for hire to do such work, that such Home -
Owner shall act as supervisor. "
Many Home Owners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming
the responsibilities of a supervisor (see Appendix Q, Rules and Regulations "-
for Licensing Construction Supervisors, Section 2.15). This lack of aware �, �>,
ness often results in serious problems, particularly when the Home Owner ,,
hires unlicensed persons. In this case your Board cannot proceed against'" �
the unlicensed person as it would with licensed Supervisor. The Home Owner,
,a,,
acting as supervisor is ultimately responsible. .... :::.
To ensure that the Home Owner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities, .
many communities require, as part of the permit application, that the Home
Owner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a supervisor.
On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns.
You may care to amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your
community.
