grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of
nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement,
extension or expansion of nonconforming lots, land, structures,
and uses, provided, however, that such change, extension,
enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more detri-
mental than the existing 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,

the following findings of fact:
