DECISION ON THE PETITION
OF-PETER AND CAROL KATSARAKES REQUESTING A VARIANCE
FOR LOTS 4x`517, #519, and #521 CHERRY HILL AVENUE
A hearing on this Petition was held on December 19, 1979 with the
following Board Memberspresent: James H.-Boulger, Jr., Chailxian,"Messrs
Nutting, LaBrecque, Feeherry and Associate Member Luzinski. Notices of the -
hearing were sent to abutters and a notice of the hearing was published in
the Salem Evening News on December 5, 1979 and December 12, 1979, in accordance-
with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A.
The Petitioners have requested a variance for the property designated
as Lots 4x517, 4x519, and 4521 Cherry .Hill Avenue to combine these three lots
7 . into two lots each containing approximately 12,000 square feet of area and
having 75 feet of frontage. A variance is required because the lots are
in an R-1 district where building lots must have 15,000 square feet of area
and 100 feet of frontage,
The Board of Appeals, after consideration of the evidence presented at
the public hearing makes the following findings of fact:
1. Previously each of the lots in question was under the then applicable
zoning laws, suitable for construction of a single family dwellings
in this R-1 district. Recent amendments to the zoning .laws:caused
these three lots to become a single lot.
2. The homes in the area surrounding these lots are, in general,
constructed upon lots smaller than 10,000 square feet with less than
. 100 feet of frontage.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence presented at
the public hearing, the Board of Appeals concludes as follows:
1. The three lots in question, each of which was previously suitable
for construction of a single family dwelling, have become a single
lot by operation of law.
2. The conditions described above especially affect the land in question
but do not generally affect the zoning district in which the building
is located.
3. The conditions described above affect the land in question, but not
the zoning district generally, cause the following special hardship;
Without a variance, the land in question cannot be developed in a
manner consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
