RE: 1 High Avenue
Dear Mr. Olson:
As you are aware, a Variance was granted on your property back in March of this year.
Additionally, a building permit was issued in April.
To date, no final inspections have been done. Finals are required from plumbing,
electrical, fire and building inspectors.
Also, a condition of your variance stated that you would remove a large maple tree on the
southeast corner of your property.
Please contact this office within seven (7) days upon receipt of this letter to discuss this
matter.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Thomas St. Pierre
Local Building Inspector

DECISION OF THE PETITION OF ERIC OLSON REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 HIGH AVENUE R-1
A hearing on this petition was held March 15, 2000 with the following Board Members
present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Stephen Harris, Ronald Harrison, Richard Dionne and
Stephen Buczko. 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 is requesting Variances from maximum height of building from 2 '/I to 3
stories for addition for the property located at 1 High Avenue 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. Homeowner Eric Olson sought to enlarge his residence by constructing a dormer on
the rear roof, below the roofline, thus extending the height of the house from 2 A to 3
stories. The maximum height of the roof ridge remains unchanged.
2. Neighbors Roger and Marilyn Poitras of 4 Cross Ave. opposed the granting of the
variance on the grounds that the extension would deprive them of privacy and
sunlight. Mike Fisher and Deb Clay of 14 Cheval Ave. also opposed the plan on the
same grounds, and argued that the change would negatively affect the value of their
property.
3. Ward 1 Councillor Scott LaCava, opposed the change because of the impact on the
neighbors, several of whom had called him to register their opposition.

substantial hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and

purpose of the Ordinance.

subject to the following conditions;
1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state stature ordinances, codes and codes
regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions submitted and
approved by the Building Inspector.

structure.
