AVENUE (R-2 DISTRICT),
Hearing on this petition was held on October 19, 1976 with Chairman John M.
Gray, Sr., and members Jane T. Lundregan, William Abbott, Artbur LaBracque,
and Donald Eames present. Notices were duly mailed.to abutters and others in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 808.
The petitioner represented himself before the Board. He proposed to divide
an existing eight room apartment containing 2,175 square feet of floor space,
four rooms and a hall up and four rooms and a hall down into two four roam
apartments of approximately 1,000 square feet each. The petitioner stated
that he has -owned the house for 14 years, and that.the eight room apartment
is difficult,to lease, as it is very large and therefore the rental must be
high. He stated that the proximity of the house to Salem State College
makes it inappropriate for two family use. The house is very large and
presently hat two eight room apartments, one four roam apartment and one three
room apbrtment, for total of four apartments.
The Board voted unanimously to grant the petition requested. The Board found
that the size of the house and the character of the neighborhood sustained
a finding of--hardship on the property. The house is in a neighborhood near
Salem State College, and the neighborhood has several students and very few
families with children. The Board found that the size of the house made it
economically unfeasible to be occupied as a two family house. The Board found
that it could grant the variance requ®sted without substantial detriment to
the surrounding PAighborhood .and without derogating from the intent of the
