DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MILL BROOK REALTY TRUST FOR
A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 15 NORTHEY ST. , SALEM
A hearing on this petition was held July 24,1985 and continke Zstis $gyp 11 ,
1985 with the following Board Members present: James Hacker 2�+,, Chairman; e s ,
Charnas, Strout and Associate Member Bencal. Notice of the 'riEFnm`ting was sent to
abutters and notices of the hearing were properly published the Salem Evening
Nevis in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter G�`` ALZRAAt5.
Petitioners are requesting a Variance to allow a total of six dwelling units, two
each in the existing dwelling, carriage house and the garage, and to allow a two
. story addition to the garage; also a Variance from all dimensional requirements
in this R-2 district.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to thisq equest
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 VIZI F and IX D, grant Special Permit for alterations and reconstruction of
nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion of
nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, ._howeever, that such
change, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more
detrimental than the exisitng 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
hearin_, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact: .
1 . A Special Permit rather than a Variance may be granted as petitioners
lowered the total units to four (4) instead of the six (5) originally
` requested;
I2. Neighborhood supported four (4) units;
3. This will substantially increase the tax base;
4. Will allow for off-street parking in a congested area.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The proposed plan will not be substantially detrimental to
the neighborhood;
2. The proposed use of the property will promote the health, safety,
convenience and welfare of the city's inhabitants;

Dear Mr. Hacker:
I would like to take this opportunity to express my interest in,
and support of, the petition of Mary Ellen Asklar for a variance
at 15 Northey Street.
After reviewing the site plans, I believe that this proposal will
be of great benefit to the neighborhood and will continue the positive
momentum established by the area residents.
I would, however, ask that the Board stipulate that the parking
and landscraping, as shown in the renderings, be made an
amendment to the variance.
I thank you for your consideration of my views on this matter.
Sincerely,
Stanley J. Usovicz, Jr.
