Decision
City of Salem Board of Appeals
The petition of DEREK ARNOLD d/b/a WITCH DR, seeking a Special Permit under Sec. 3.3.2
Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to change a non-conforming use from a
landscape and painting business office and storage to a glass manufacturer office, warehouse, and
product photography studio at 64-70 WARD STREET (Map 34 Lot 346 347)(R3 Zoning District).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on February 15, 2017 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, 4 11
and closed on that date with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present: Mr. Duffy (Acting
Chair),Mr. Tsitsinos,Mr.Watkins, Mr. Hacker (alternate), and Mr. Viccica (alternate).
The petitioner is seeking a Special Permit under Sec. 3.3.2 Nonconfoming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance,
to change a non-conforming use from a landscape and painting business office and storage to a glass
manufacturer office,warehouse, and product photography studio.
Statements of fact.
1. Attorney Atkins presents the petition.
2. In the petition date-stamped January 24, 2017, the petitioner requested a Special Permit under Sec.
3.3.2 Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning Ordinance, to change a non-conforming use from a
landscape and painting business office and storage to a glass manufacturer office, warehouse, and
product photography studio. i
3. The property is located within an R-3 Zoning District.
4. This property is currently used for a construction and landscaping business. The parking lot has been
used to store construction vehicles.
5. The petitioner is currently operating a successful retail space at 109 Lafayette and is proposing to
expand to a second location for manufacturing and warehousing of products at 64-70 Ward Street.
6. There are nine (9) existing parking spaces on site and on the adjacent vacant lot for one (1) company
vehicle and three (3) employees for approximately 1,500 square feet of non-storage gross floor area.
The Zoning Ordinance requires a total of five (5) parking spaces. Therefore, the petitioner exceeds
the parking requirements.
7. Limited traffic will be generated from this site as the proposed use is primarily for office space, glass
manufacturing, and warehousing.
8. The petitioner will have table top torches for glass blowing at this facility with associated filtration
equipment. Ventilation for the equipment will be filtered before existing the building through a
ventilation system in the roof.

9. There will be no expansion or significant modification of the existing structure.
10. The requested relief,if granted,would allow the petitioner to change a non-conforming use from a
landscape and painting business office and storage to a glass manufacturer office,warehouse, and
product photography studio.
11. At the public hearing one (1) member of the public spoke in favor of, and none (0) in opposition to,
the petition.
The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, and
after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, and the Petitioner's
presentation and public testimony, makes the following findings that the proposed project meets the
provisions of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance:
Findings for Special Permit:
The Board finds that the proposed change in use is less detrimental than the existing non-
conforming use.
1. Social, economic and community needs served by the proposal.
2. Traffic flow and safety,including parking and loading is adequate.
3. Adequacy of utilities and other public services will not be negatively impacted.
4. Impacts on the natural environment,including drainage will remain the same.
5. The proposal fits with the character of the neighborhood.
6. Potential fiscal impact,including the impact on City tax base and employment is positive.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted five (5) in favor
(Mr. Duffy (Acting Chair),Mr. Tsitsinos,Mr. Watkins,Mr. Hacker (alternate),and Mr.Viccica (alternate)) and
none (0) opposed, to grant a Special Permit under Sec. 3.3.2 Nonconforming Uses of the Salem Zoning
Ordinance, to change a non-conforming use from a landscape and painting business office and storage to a
glass manufacturer office, warehouse, and product photography studio subject to the following terms,

RE: 64 Ward Street
R-3 Zoned District
Dear Mr. Karavedas:
The property located at 64 Ward Street, Salem has most
recently been used by North Shore Acoustical Inc. as an office
and for the storage of acoustical materials. This use may
continue as a pre-existing nonconforming use in the residential
area. Any change in the use of the property that is not permitted
by the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance as a matter of right would
require a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeal
Sincerely,
