DECISION ON THE PETITION OF RAYMOND & MARGARET FARMER, JR. FOR
A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 6 FLINT STREET (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held September 14, 1988 with the following Board
Members present: James Fleming, Chairman; Messrs. , Bencal, Luzinski, Nutting and
,Strout. 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.
Petitioners, owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to extend
nonconforming side and rear setbacks to allow construction of a two story porch
in this R-2 district.
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 the procedure and conditions set forth in Section
VIII F and IX D, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of non-
conforming 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 and
after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1. . No opposition;
2. Because of the size of the back yard, the porches are very much
needed to service both the first and second floors.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance;
2. The granting of the Special Permit will promote the public health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
