DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JAMES A. NOBLE JR. _REQUESTING A" S
SPECIAL PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT-17-BARNES CIRCLEI(R-1)
`Y
A hearing on this petition was held October 15, 1997 with the
following Board Members present: Gary Barrett, Chairman; Nina Cohen,
Albert Hill, Joseph Ywuc and Paul Valaskagis . 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 is requesting a Special Permit to expand the
non-conforming structure to construct a second story addition for the
property located at 17 Barnes Circle.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to
this request for a Special Permit is Section 5-3(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 Sections 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:
I . Petitioner wants to expand the existing single family home by
adding a second floor addition to accommodate his growing family
in his present home .
2. The proposed addition will not encroach on any of the existing
setbacks, and will be contained within the present footprint of
the existing structure.
3. There will not be any 2nd floor construction over the
existing stairway on the southwest (right) side of the existing
home.
4 . There was no opposition to the petition.

1. The Special Permit requested can be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good or without nullifying and substantially
derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the
