Petitioner, owner of the premises, requests a Special Permit to allow him to
convert an existing two family dwelling into a three family dwelling in this

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, ex-
tension or expansion of nonconforming lots, lands, structures,
and uses, provided, however, that such change, extension, en-
largement or expansion shall not be substantially more detri-
mental 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 hearing the evidence presented at the hearing, makes
the following findings of fact:
1 . There is adequate parking on premises;
2. The addition of one dwelling unit to this neighborhood will not
have a significant negative effect on parking or traffic.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearin_, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: ,
1 . The relief requested is not substantially detrimental to
the public good;
2. The proposal will not depart from the intent and purpose of the
Ordinance.
