MAYOR 8 DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MICHAEL GINLEY REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 CEDAR AVENUE R-1 A hearing on this petition was held on February 18, 2004, with the following Board Members present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Stephen Harris, Richard Dionne, Nicholas Hellides and Joseph Barbeau. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and other and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. The petitioner is requesting a Variance from side yard setback of 0 feet instead of the 10 foot requirement, to allow a 5 1/2 x 16 addition for the property located at 7 Cedar Avenue located in an R-1 zone. The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the Board that: a. Special conditions and circumstances exit which especially affect the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district. b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner c. Desirable relief may 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. 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. The Petitioner appeared and represented himself at the hearing. 2. The Petitioner had not obtained a building permit prior to commencing construction. 3. The direct abutter, Linda Ackerman, strongly opposed the addition stating that it was infringing on her property and that damage had been done to her property. 4. Councillor Joseph O'Keefe also opposed to this petition. DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MICHAEL GINLEY REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 CEDAR AVENUE R-1 page two On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: 1. Special conditions do not exist which especially affect the subject property and not the district in general. 2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would not result in unnecessary hardship to the petitioner. 3. The relief requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment to the public good or without nullifying and substantially hardship derogating from the intent of the district or purpose of the Ordinance. Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 1 in favor and 4 in opposition to grant the requested variances. Having failed to garner the four affirmative votes required to pass, the motion is defeated and the petition is denied.
