RE: 5 Gardner Street
Dear Mr. Worth:
This Department has been make aware that your property in Salem, 5 Gardner Street is
not in compliance with the conditions set forth in a 1983 Board of Appeal decision. The
conditions and limitations set forth in the decision are binding and enforceable by this
department.
One of the major conditions set for the in the 1983 decision is that the building must
remain owner occupied. The second major condition was the creation of off street
parking spaces. These spaces were created in 1983 and have subsequently been
eliminated by the construction of an unpermitted deck and some landscaping. These
conditions need to be corrected.
You are directed to contact this office within 10 days upon receipt of this letter to discuss
your plan to resolve these conditions. Failure to comply will result in a complaint being
filed in Salem District Court.
Sincerely,
Thomas St. Pierre
Acting Building Commissioner

DEC3N ON THE PETITION OF RONALD L. WRIGHT FOR A SPECIAL
CITY Ci_ TLFOR 5 GARDNER STREET
Sr.L,.. .
Hearings on this Petition were held on January 5. and 26, 1983 with the following
Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. Hopper and Piemonte
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 enable him to convert the structure
at 5 Gardner Street into a three-family dwelling. A Special Permit is needed
because the property is in an R-2 Zoning District, where three-family dwellings
are not otherwise permitted.
In general terms, this Board is, when reviewing such 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 and that the proposed use of the property will be in harmony
with the zoning ordinance:
The Board, after considering the evidence at the hearing on this matter, makes
the following findings of fact:.
1. The Petitioners proposed plan .for the site will have a beneficial effect on
the neighborhood and will improve the appearance of the site.
2. The proposed use of the property will have a negligible impact on parking
or traffic patterns in the neighborhood.
3. The proposed use of the property was not opposed by abutters.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the public
hearing, the Board of Appeal finds that the proposed use of the property will promote
the public health, safety, convenience and welfare and that the proposed use of the
property is in harmony with the Salem Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, the Board
unanimously approved the granting of a Special Permit to the Petitioner.
The Special Permit is therefore granted .in accordance with the following terms
and conditions:
1) The property may be used as a three-family dwelling so long as it remains owner-
occupied;if the property shall cease to be owner-occupied it will revert to
to a two-family dwelling;
