DECISION ON THE PETITION OF CANAL REALTY TRUST
FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 135 CANAL STREET (B-4) ->
A hearing on this petition was held January 8, 1992 with the following
Board Members present: Richard Bencal, Chairman; Richard Febonio,
Edward Luzinski, Francis Grealish Jr. , and Associate Member Ronald
Plante. 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
enlarge a previous nonconforming structure by extending the
nonconforming rear setback an additional three (3) feet. The property
is located in a B-4 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 request.

4 . The proposed addition will allow the petitioner to better serve
customers and comply with franchise requirements.
5. Due to the proximity of three public thoroughfares it is not
feasible for the petitioner to obtain additional land.
6. Support for the plan was voiced by City Councillors Stanley Usovicz
Jr. and Leonard O' Leary.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence
presented, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The Special Permit 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 requested will promote the public
health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants and
may be granted in harmony with the neighborhood.
3. The proposed addition will allow petitioner to comply with franchise
requirements, thus averting financial and business hardship.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant
the Special Permit requested, subject to the following conditions:
1 . Petitioner shall comply with all City and State statutes,
ordinances, codes and regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions
submitted and by legal building permit.
3. Petitioner shall comply with all requirements of the Entrance
Corridor Overlay District.
4. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and
fire safety shall be strictly adhered to.
5. A Certificate of Occupancy shall be- orbtained.
6. Exterior finishes of the addition shall be in harmony with existing
structures.
