CITY C1,
DECISIOv ON THE. PETITION OF BONNIE LEATHER: INC. FOR
A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 69 MASON STREET
A hearing on this Petition was held on October 20, 1982 with the following Board Members
present: James Hacker, Chairsan; Messrs. Piemonte, Hopper and Feeherry, and
Associate Member Luzinski. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others
and a notice of the hearing was published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The Petitioner has requested a Special Permit to extend a nonconforming structure
by constructing a 950 square foot addition to the existing structure at the site, and
removing and reconstructing a loading dock. The existing structure is nonconforming
by virtue of the fact that it encroaches into the minimum rear and sideyard setbacks
at the site. The proposed construction will extend these nonconformities. The
provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which we deem to be applicable to this request
for a Special Permit is Section V B 10, which pro-.ides 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 reconstruc-
tion of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, exten-
sion or expansion of nonconforming lets, land structures and uses
provided that such change. . .shall not be substantially more
detrimental than the existing [nonconformity] to the neighborhood.
In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests, guided
by the rule that a Special Permit 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.
The Board, after considering the evidence at the hearing on this matter, makes the
following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner's proposed renovation of the site will have a negligible impact
on the area and will in fact improve the appearance of the property
in question.
2. The proposed renovation was unopposed by any neighbors.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Board of Appeal finds (i) that the proposed use of the property
will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing use to the neighborhood,
(ii) that the proposed use of the property will promote the public health, safety,
convenience and welfare and (iii) that the proposed use of the property is in harmony
with the Salem Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, the Board unanimously approved the
granting cf a Special Permit to the Petitioner.
The Special Permit is therefore granted in accordance with the following terms and
conditions: .
