DECISION ON THE PETITION SUBMITTED BY DOROTHY DUNNE CONCERNING THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 253 LAFAYETTE STREET
(R-3 DISTRICT)
A hearing on this petition was held on September 26, 1978 with members Jane
T.. Lundregan, Douglas hopper, Arthur Labrecque and James Boul.ger present. Notices
were sent postpaid to abutters and others and duly published in the Salem Evening
News on September 11 and 18, 1978 in accordance with Mass. Gen. Laws, Chapter 808.
Atty. Robert Healey, 4 Federal Ct. , Salem, represented the Petitioner before
the Board. The Petitioner is requesting a variance to allow a home presently being
used for residential purposes to be converted into a medical office building. The
office contemplated is one by Dr. Robert Miglone and will be comprised of three
psychiatrist and two secretaries. The Petitioner stated the house was built in 1900
with steel girders which makes it difficult for any plumbing work to be done at any
reasonable cost and this makes it hard to convert the property for multi-family use,
which is an allowed use in this zone.
The Petitioner further stated that it has been hard to sell the home as residential
rr property because of the high taxes and the size of the house.
l - The Board voted to deny the variance requested. The Board found that there was
no specific hardship to this particular piece of property that would support the.request.
The Board found that the property could be used for residential or multi-family use.
VARIANCE DENIED
APPEAL FROM THIS DECISION, IF ANY, SHALL BE MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 17 OF I.-HE MASS.
GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 808, AND SHALL BE FILED WITHIN 20 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF FILING
OF THIS DECISION IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK.
