DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ERNTEST J. DELPERO FOR A SI�Ia31A �t L IcFICE
FOR 15-19 PROCTOR STREET SO.M� s
i
A hearing on this petition was held on February 17, 1982 with the
following Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman, and Mr. Piemonte and
Associate Members Luzinski and Martineau. Notice of the hearing was sent to
abbtters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the
Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 4OA.
}
The Petitioner has requested a Special Permit to construct 10 new condominium
units at 15-19 Proctor Street. The property in question is in an R-3 district
where the construction of new condominium units requires a special permit. The
Special Permit which has been requested may therefore be granted upon a finding
by the Board of Appeal, that the grant of the Special Permit will promote
the public health, safety, convenience and welfare. "
The Board of Appeal, after considering the evidence presented at the hearing,
and after viewing the property, makes the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed use of the property was opposed by a number of abutters and
neighbors.
2. The proposed use of the property will have an adverse impact upon parking
and traffic conditions in the area.
3. The Salem Fire Marshal" expressed opposition to the proposed construction
because of fire safety concerns.
4. The proposed use of the property will aggravate existing drainage
problems in. the neighborhood.
5. The proposed use of the property will require a substantial amount
of blasting at the site which will have an adverse impact upon the neighborhoo�
6. Concerns were also raised regarding whether the petitione-es plans were
in conformity with side and rear set-back requirements.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and on the evidence presented
at the public hearing, the Board of Appeals concluded unanimously that the proposed
use will not promote the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare and that
the proposed use is not in harmony with the Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, the Board
voted to deny the Special Permit requested by the Petitioner.

Dear Mayor Levesque, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. McIntosh:
As the representative of the Ward four area, I would like to make ]mown to
you the strong opposition that was noted before the Board of Appeals in February,
1982, relative to the granting of a permit for 10 condominiums at 15-19 Proctor
Street.
The Board in its wisdom, turned down the appeal. However, at this time,
the undersigned residents and myself would like to go on record as being
strongly opposed to the granting of a permit at the same location for
multiple apartments.
Due to the extreme ledge problem in the area, the inaccessibility for fire
apparatus to reach the site, and the extremely poor drainage on Pope Street, we
ask you not to issue any building permit for apartments until these concerns have
been addressed and rectified.
Sincerely,
7l�c.Cc/LC(iiJ
