DECISION ON THE PETITION OF PATRICIA RENNICK ^ r pD
FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT AT18 ALBION STREET---(R-1)
A hearing on this petition was held October 29, 1992 with the following
Board Members present: Richard Bencal, Chairman; Richard Febonio, Francis
Grealish Jr. , Edward Luzinski and Stephen Touchette. Notice of the hearing
was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly
published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioner, owner of the property,is requesting a Special Permit in order
to extend the height of the existing roof in this R-1 district.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this
request for a Special Permit is Section 3-3(j ) , which provides as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the
Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set
forth in Section 8-6 and 9-4, 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 detrimental 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, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's
inhabitants.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented
at the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings
of fact:
1. There was no opposition to the proposed construction.
2. The property will remain a single family dwelling thus not placing any
further burden on the abutting area.
3. The height of the structure would still fall under the current legal
restriction, even with the proposed increase.

SPECIAL PERMIT AT 8 ALBION STREET, SALEM

4. The proposed construction would not be out of character with the
general area.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented,
the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. The Special Permit requested can be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially
derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
2. The granting of the Special Permit requested will promote the public
health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants and may
be granted in harmony with the neighborhood.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the
Special Permit requested, subject to the following conditions:
1 . Petitioner shall comply with all City and State statutes, ordinances,
codes and regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions
submitted.
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and
fire safety shall be strictly adhered to.
4. Petitioner shall obtain a legal building permit.
5. Exterior finishes of the proposed addition shall be in harmony with
existing structure.
6. Property shall be used as a single family dwelling only.

The current exemption of "homeowners" was extended to include owner-occu led-
dwellings of six units or less and to allow such homeowners to engage an n-
dividual for hire who does not possess a license, provided that the owner,
acts as supervisor. (State Building Code Section 109.1 .1
DEFINITION OF HOMEOWNER:
Person(s) who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to re-
side, on which there is, or is intended to be, a one to six family dwelling,
attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures.
A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be
considered a homeowner. Such "homeowner" shall submit to the Building Official,
on a form acceptable to the Building Official , that he/she shall be res onsibie.
for all such work performed under the building permit. Section 109.
The undersigned "homeowner" assumes responsibility for compliance with the- State
Building code and other applicable codes, by-laws, rules and regulations.
The undersigned "homeowner" certifies that he/she understands the City of Salem
Building Department minimum inspection procedures and requirements and that
he/she will comply with said pro edures and requirements.
HOMEOWNER'S SIGNATURE
APPROVAL OF BUILDING OFFICIAL kk
NOTE: Three family dwellings35,000 qcubichfeet, larger, will be required
to comply with State Building Code Section 127.0, Construction Control .
HOME OWNER 'S EXEMPTION
The Code states that: "Any Home Owner performing work for which a building
permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section
(Section 109.1 .1 - Licensing of Construction Supervisors) ; provided that is
a Home Owner engages a person(s) for hire to do such work, that such Home
Owner shall act as supervisor."
Many Home Owners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming
the responsibilities of a supervisor (see Appendix Q, Rules and Regulations- '-
for Licensing Construction Supervisors, Section 2.15) . This lack of aware:,o 41
ness often results in serious problems, particularly when the Home Owner ,.
hires unlicensed persons. In this case your Board cannot proceed against=
the unlicensed person as it would with licensed Supervisor. The Home Owner-
acting as supervisor is ultimately responsible. q_ ..
To ensure that the Home Owner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities,
many communities require, as part of the permit application, that the Home
Owner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a supervisor.
On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns.
You may care to amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your
community.
