- = Qf nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion
$f nonconforming lots,_ land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such
- ` ✓o ange, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more
ffetrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood.
w
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,
U � z z safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.

o The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:

o populated and without sufficient parking;

W hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:

Gentlemen:
I wish to be recorded in favor of the petition of Scott Keaton,
who is requesting a change from ,a two-family house on Essex Street,
to a three-family house.
I have received no objections to his request. This young man grew
up in Salem, and I find it good to see a young person want to stay
in Salem, and I fully support his request.
V
,�T truly yours,
?,
GEORGE NOWAK
