DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ANARPET REALTY CORP. REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR 297
HIGHLAND AVENUE
A hearing on this Petition was held on April 23, 1980 with the following
Board Members present: James H. Boulger, Jr. , Chairman, Messrs. Hopper, LaBrecque,
Feeherry and Associate Member Piemonte. Notices of the hearing were sent to
abutters and others and a notice of the hearing was published in the Salem Evening
News on April 9, 1980 and April 16, 1980 in accordance with Massachusetts General
Laws Chapter 40A.
The Petitioners have requested variances for the property at 297 Highland
Avenue to construct a building 60 feet by 150 feet at the location for the sale 1
and storage of building supplies. Variances are required because the building
is in a B-2 district where the proposed use is prohibited without a variance.
Variances are also required because the proposed building will not meet the easterly
side yard requirement of 10 feet and because the building will exceed maximum lot
coverage by 9.6%.
The Board of Appeals, after consideration of the evidence presented at the
public hearing and after viewing the property makes the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed use is appropriate in the area in question.
2. The parcel of land in question has a peculiar configuration with very narrow
frontage. Also, there-is a considerable amount of ledge on the parcel.
These peculiarities present special circumstances which limit the manner in
which this property can be developed and thus present a special hardship
to the petitioners.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Board of AgYpeals concludes as follows:
- -` 1. The land in question has a peculiar configuration, in addition, its narrow-
frontage
arrowfrontage and the presence of a substantial amount of ledge present special
problems in the development of this parcel.
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 which affect the land in question, but not
the zoning district generally cause special hardship to the petitioners
relating to-the limited manner in which the land can be developed.
4. The desired variances may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good.
.,OARD OF APPEAL - DECISION - APRIL 23, 1980 - ANARPET REALTY CORP. - 297 HIGHLAND AVENUE
,
Therefore, the Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously voted in favor of granting
the above requested relief. The Board grants the variances requested by the petitioners
on the following terms and conditions:
1. All construction shall be in accordance with the plans on file with this Board.
2. lVenty-two parking spaces will be maintained at the site.
3. A fence or barrier trill, for safety reasons, be constructed along Highland
Avenue and the easterly side of the parking lot at the property.
