DECISION ON THE PETITION OF PATRICK & CYNTHIA O'CONNOR
FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 100 BAY VIEW AVE. (R-1)
A hearing on this petition was held May 18, 1994 with the following Board
Members present: Stephen Touchette, Acting Chairman; Gary Barrett, Stephen
O'Grady, and Associate Member Nina Cohen. Notice of the hearing was sent
to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published

Chapter 40A.
Petitioners,owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to
allow construction of a two (2) story deck which will extend nonconforming
rear setbacks, the property is located in the R-1 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 is the most feasible location for the deck to be located.

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 requested will promote the public
health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants and may
be granted in harmony with the neighborhood.

codes and regulations.
