Re: 12 Cedarcrest Avenue
Dear Mr. Martineau:
Please be advised that I have examined various documentation
relative to the use of 12 Cedarcrest Avenue as a two family
dwelling. I have examined a letter from the Board of Assessors, a
letter from Massachusetts Electric Company and correspondence from
individuals familiar with the property. The census records of the
City do not contain information specific to this property.
Based on my review of this documentation, it is my opinion
that 12 Cedarcrest Avenue was a lawful two family residence prior
to the adoption of the City Zoning Ordinance in 1965. It is my
opinion that this building should be afforded the protection VIII
(E) of the aforementioned Ordinance relative to non conforming
uses and this dwelling's current use as as two family residence is
permissible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Kevin T. Daly,
City Solicitor

MY CLERK.SALEr. H=SS
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF N POZRIER F
JEAOR VARIANCES
AT 12 CEDARCREST AVENUE
A hearing on this petition was held May 27, 1987 with the following Board Members
present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. , Bencal, Fleming, Luzinski and Strout.
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.
The petitioner, represented by Attorney William DiMento, seeks Variances from lot
size, frontage and rear setback to allow the property at 2 Cedarcrest Avenue to
be divided, and to construct a single family dwelling on lot A, as shown on the
plans submitted. The property is located in an R-1 district.
The Variances,which have been requested may be granted upon a finding of the
Board that:
a. special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect
the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally
affecting other lands, buildings and 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; and
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 and
after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . The two new lots to be created are representative in size
to the other lots in the neighborhood;
2. The existing topography dictates that this is the best use
of the locus;
3. No opposition, was expressed to the petition at the public hearing.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the property in
question but do not generally affect other lands in the same district;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would work a
substantial hardship on the petitioner;

page two
3. The relief 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.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the
Variances requested allowing the subdivision of the lot as per the plans submitted,
with Lot B having an area of 14,435 square feet and Lot A having an area of
8,438 square feet, a frontage of 98.65 feet, and a rear setback of 16.47 feet,
subject to the following conditions:
1 . That the petitioner secure the required building and occupancy
permits from the Salem Building Inspector;
2. That the petitioner secure proper numbering for the proposed
single family dwelling to be built on Lot A from the Salem
Board of Assessors;
3. That all construction be done in accordance with the provisions of
the Massachusetts Building Code and be built as per the plans
submitted to the Board;
4. That the petitioner adhere to all the requirements of the Salem Fire
Department, relative to fire safety.
