DECISION ON THE PETITION OF HELEN O'CONNOR FOR VARIANCE
AT 116 BRIDGE STREET (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held February 21 , 1990 with the following Board
Members present: James Fleming, Chairman; Richard Bencal , Vice Chairman; Edward
Luzinski , Associate Members Peter Dore and Arthur Labrecque. 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.
Petitioner, owner of the property, is requesting a Variance from side setback
requirements to allow construction of a double deck in this R-2 district.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of 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 . No opposition was presented to the plan.
2. The proposed decks would add a second means of egress and would thus
be a safety addition as well .
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented. the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property but
not the district in general .
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve substantial
hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can 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.
