DECISION ON THE PETITION OF AUGUSTO P. DACUNHA FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT
FOR 71 BRIDGE ST. (B-4)
A hearing on this petition was held on September 12, 1984 with the
following Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Scott Charnas,
Secretary; Messrs: Robert Gauthier & Peter Strout and Associate Member
Richard A. Bencal. 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 40 A.
The petitioner has requested a Specail Permit to convert an existing
two family dwelling house into a three family dwelling.
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 nonconforming
structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension of
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 consideration of the evidence presented at the
public hearing,makes the following findings of fact:
1. Vigorous opposition was raised by neighbors, abutters and others;
2. The petitioner could provide parking for only one vehicle at most;
3. Bridge Street is a very highly traveled street and is used as a
snow emergency route during snow storms. This limits parking on
this street.
LL 4. There is an existing problem with parking in the area and the
T c addition of another unit and possible vehicles would add to this problem.
