A hearing on this petition was held on September 24, 1487 with the following
Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs; Bencal, Fleming, Strout,
and Associate Member Labracque. 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 the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws,- -

The petitioner represented by Atty. Robert A. Ledoux, is requesting a Variance
from front and side setbacks, and lot size to allow for an existing dwelling
at 77R Fort Avenue. The property is located in an R-1 District.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding by 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;
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. There was no opposition to the petition presented at the hearing;
2. If the petitioner were denied her requested Variance, she would
suffer substantial hardship.
3. There was neighborhood support for the granting of the petition,
including that of Councillor Leonard O'Leary.
On the basis of the above finding of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. Special conditions exist which especially affect this property but
do not generally affect other lands, buildings and structures in the
same district;
2. Literal enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substantial
hardship to the petitioner;
