Decision
Petition of Mario Zepaj requesting a Variance
for the property at 17 Canal Street
City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals
A public hearing on the above petition was opened on October 19, 2006 pursuant to
Massachusetts General Law Ch. 40A, Sec. 11. The following Zoning Board members
were present: Nina Cohen, Robin Stein, Steve Pinto, Richard Dionne, Elizabeth Debski.
The petitioner, Mario Zepaj, sought a variance from the requirements of the City of
Salem Sign Ordinance to allow the existing sign to be altered for the property located at
17 Canal Street, Salem, in the Wholesale and Automotive (B-4) zoning district.
The Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public
hearing, and after thorough review of the Petition submitted, makes the following
findings of fact:
1. The property at 17 Canal Street is within the B-4 zoning district.
2. The petitioner is requesting a variance to alter an existing non-conforming
sign at 17 Canal Street. Specifically petitioner undertook to alter a roof sign
by changing the wording to "Sammy's Roast Beef' from "Big Fred's Roast
Beef.”
3. The petitioner received a violation letter regarding the alterations from the
Building Inspector dated August 30, 2006.
4. Ward 3 City Councilor Jean Pelletier spoke in favor of the variance.
r
5. No other members of the public wished to speak on this petition.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, including all evidence presented at the public
hearing, including, but not limited to, the Petition the Zoning Board of Appeals concludes
as follows:
1. The petitioner's request for a Variance to the existing nonconforming sign do
not constitute substantial detriment to the public good.
2. The requested relief does not nullify or substantially derogate from the intent
or purpose of the zoning ordinance.
3. A literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance would create a substantial
hardship to the petitioner, both financial and otherwise.
4. In permitting such change, the Board of Appeals requires certain appropriate
conditions and safeguards as noted below.
In consideration of the above, the Salem Board of Appeals voted, five (5) in favor
(Cohen, Stein, Pinto, Dionne, Debski) and none (0) opposed, to grant the request for a
variance, subject to the following terms, conditions, and safeguards:
1. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety
shall be strictly adhered to.
2. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having
jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the Planning Board.
3. The sign shall remain at the same size as it is currently.

RE: ILLEGAL SIGNAGE AT 17 CANAL STREET—SAMAWS ROAST BEEF
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to inform you that you have erected signs at the above referenced location without receiving
the necessary permits from the City of Salem and are currently in violation. The City has not received a
Salem Sign Application nor issued a Salem Sign Permit for any of your existing signage.
The Salem Sign Ordinance and Entrance Corridor Regulations require all signs to be reviewed and
approved prior to their installation. Furthermore, the signage located on the roof sign is an illegal sign and
cannot be permitted and must be removed or you can file a petition for a variance with the Zoning Board
of Appeals.
At this time,you are directed to submit the enclosed sign application and include all of the submittal
requirements for your proposed/existing signs. If a sign application is not received within 14 days receipt
of this letter, this matter will be forwarded to the Building Commissioner who will enforce the penalties
and fines under Sec 3.36&3.29 of the Salem Sign Ordinance and 780 CMR Sec 3102.4 of the Building
State Code.
i
Should you have any further question about this matter I can be reach at (978) 745-9595 ext 311. I look
forward to helping,you bring your signage into compliance with the Salem Sign Ordinance and Entrance
Corridor regulations.
Sincerely,
ZF .aoMV=
