DECISION OF THE PETITION OF PAUL G. BISCAIA REQUESTING A
VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 21 CUSHING STREET R1

present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Richard Dionne, Stephen Buczko, Stephen Harris and
James Hacker. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The petitioner is requesting Variances from side yard setback to construct addition for
the property located at 21 Cushing Street R-1.
The Variances, which have been requested, may be granted upon a finding by this
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
structure involve.
b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioners.
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 of 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, Paul G. Biscaia, is the owner of the property located at 21 Cushing
Street. Mr. Biscaia presented the petition.
2. The petitioner seeks a variance from the side yard setback to allow the construction
of a second level over the existing house, a one-story kitchen addition, a 2-car
garage with family room over. The proposed garage with family room above will be
5' from the side lot line of the property.
3. Mr. Biscaia indicated that his family is growing and requires more room than the
existing cape offers. The proposed construction would change the style of the home
to a colonial with an attached 2-car garage with a family room above.
4. Ms. Sally Hayes, the Ward 6 Councillor, spoke in support of the requested variance.
