Statement of Grounds
This Statement of Grounds is being submitted in support of the Special Permit request for changing the
existing non-conforming use of 14 Hubon Street to another non-conforming use. The property is currently
used as an aluminum foundry and has been since the 1950's. It is zoned for manufacturing in an R-2
neighborhood. No changes in the foot print of the building are proposed. Changes to the exterior will
include repairs to the leaking roof,replacement of fascia boards and soffits,new garage doors and steel
entry doors,painting and landscaping
The proposed use of the building is a mix of office and light manufacturing. Approximately 1/3 of the
building will be renovated to office space. Another 1/3 will be used as garage space for parking a service
van and storage of field equipment and supplies. The remaining portion will be used for light
manufacturing and assembly of environmental sampling equipment and repairs to similar equipment.
Social and Community Needs. The building is currently in a state of disrepair and is an unattractive
element in the neighborhood. Under the proposed use the building will be cleaned up and repaired. It
will owner occupied and will have a lesser impact than the existing foundry. The proposed business will
use local services,restaurants and other businesses,thereby contributing to the community.
Traffic-The property is located at the end of a dead end. Traffic for the current use includes the receipt
raw materials, shipment of finished products,waste removal and employee traffic. Traffic for the
proposed use will be similar but less intense. Raw materials are received infrequently and finished
products are generally shipped by parcel delivery. The office space will be approximately 1000 square
feet and will be used by 3 to 6 people. There is more than adequate off street parking to accommodate the
proposed use of the building.
Utilities—The existing utilities include natural gas, electric, sewer, water,telephone and storm water
drainage. The propose use does not require any additional utilities.
Impacts on Natural Environment—The existing property is either covered by the building or paved for
driveway access and parking. The proposed use will not change the current drainage or land use. Air
quality and odors will improve under the proposed use.
Neighborhood Character-The existing foundry has been in the neighborhood for the past 60 years and is
in a state of disrepair. Under the proposed use, the building will be repaired and the property landscaped
so that it is an attractive part of the neighborhood. The neighborhood which is densely developed by
single and multi-family dwellings will benefit from the improvements made to the property.
Potential fiscal impact-The proposed will upgrade the existing property Yand have a positive impact on the
neighborhood thereby increasing the City's tax base. As a commercial property there will be no new
residents to enter the school system or require other City services. Over the past seventeen years the
proposed business has hired six graduates of Salem State College. The proposed use will continue to
bring economic opportunities to the City of Salem
