DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN J. SULDENSBI FOR A
SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 11 and 11-1/2 MASON STREET
SSP 9 ' pp99
A hearing on these two Petitions was held on September 2, 1982 with the�fAldl6ing
Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman; Messrs. Hadkzt:, Feeherry and
Associate Member Luzinski. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and
others and notices of the hearing were published in the Sa1em' veiting �TeczsyiS
accordance with Massachusettk General Laws Chapter 40A.
The Petitioner has requested a Special Permit to convert the existing single-
family dwelling at 11 Mason Street to a two-family and to convert the existing
two-family dwelling at 11-1/2 Mason Street to a three-family dwelling.
The properties are within an Industrial district; however, the properties have
for many years been used as residential properties.
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 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, nor
shall this paragraph apply to billboards, signs, or other adver-
tising devices.
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, after considering the evidence at the hearing on this matter, makes
the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed conversion of these properties was supported by virtually all
neighbors.
2. The property at 11-1/2 Mason Street is presently vacant and in a serious
state of disrepair.
• 3. Petitioner's proposed conversions of the 2roperties will have a beneficial
effect on the neighborhood.
