Decision
City of Salem Board of Appeals
Petition of PETER HANTZOPOULOS requesting Variances,under Section 4.0 Dimensional
Requirements of the Salem Zoning Ordinance to allow the creation of two lots, each smaller than the
required minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet, and with less than the required minimum lot
frontage of 100 feet and the required minimum lot width of 100 feet, for the property located at 13
CHERRY HILL AVENUE (Rl Zoning District).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on December 18, 2013 pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40A, § 11.
The hearing was closed on January 15, 2014 with the following Salem Board of Appeals members present:
Ms. Curran (Chair), Ms. Harris (Vice Chair),Mr. Dionne,Mr. Duffy, Mr. Watkins, and Mr. Tsitsinos.
The Petitioner seeks Variances from Section 4.0 Dimensional Requirements of the Salem Zoning Ordinance.
Statements of fact:
1. In the petition date-stamped September 25, 2013, the Petitioner requested Variances to allow the
creation of two lots from one existing lot.
2. Attorney John Keilty presented the petition for the property at 13 Cherry Hill Avenue.
3. The requested Variances would allow the creation of two lots, each smaller than the required
minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet, and with less than the required minimum lot frontage of 100
feet and the required minimum lot width of 100 feet. Proposed Lot A would have a lot area of 11,413
square feet, 75.0 feet of frontage, and a lot width of 74.26 feet. Proposed Lot B would have a lot area
of 11,416 square feet, 75.0 feet of frontage, and a lot width of 75.8 feet.
4. The single lot now in existence was created from the merging of 3 separate lots. The three lots were
recorded on a plot plan drawn in October 1925 by Thomas A. Appleton, C.E. The three lots were
conveyed to Peter Hantzopoulos and his wife in August 1962. In 2013, Mr. Hantzopoulos conveyed
the land to himself and his wife as Trustees of the Hantzopoulos Irrevocable Trust. In this 2013
conveyance, the land was still described in reference to the three lots as drawn in the 1925 plot plan.
5. In 1965 the City of Salem adopted a Zoning Ordinance, which zoned the three lots as Rl. The three
lots were undersized according to the requirements of the Rl zone, and as the three lots were under
common ownership they were, after two years lapsed, merged into one lot of 22,829 square feet, 150
feet of frontage, and 150.06 feet in width. These dimensions exceed the requirements of the Rl
zoning district for a minimum area of 15,000 square feet, minimum frontage of 100 feet, and
minimum width of 100 feet.
6. The applicants were unaware of the merging of the three lots under their ownership. The reduction
of the three lots to one lot imposes an economic hardship on the applicants.
7. The three lots were regularly-shaped lots, lined up side-by-side along the frontage on Cherry Hill
Avenue.

January 29,2014
Project: 13 Cherry Hill Avenue
Page 2 of 2
8. The petitioners are not seeking to recreate the original three lots, but rather to divide the one lot into
two lots.
9. The existing large single lot is out of character with the neighborhood, which is largely comprised of
g y g
smaller lots with smaller residences. +
10. At the public hearing, no members of the public spoke in favor of, or in opposition to, the petition.
The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public bearing, and
after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, the Petitioner's
presentation and public testimony, and a memorandum submitted to the Board at the hearing, makes the
following findings that the proposed project meets the provisions of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance:
Findings:
1. The three original lots were regularly-shaped lots, and were lined up side-by-side along Cherry Hill
Avenue. This creates a unique condition in which a literal enforcement of the Dimensional Requirements
under the City of Salem's Zoning Ordinance, specifically the required minimum lot area of 15,000
square feet, the required minimum lot frontage of 100 feet, and the required minimum lot width of
100 feet, would be a substantial hardship to the appellant.
2. The desired relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good.
3. The desired relief may be granted without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or
purpose of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance. The development of the land as two smaller lots
would be more consistent with the character of the neighborhood than the development of the one
large lot. The existing single lot was created from the merging of three lots, but the applicant seeks
only to divide the existing lot into two lots.
On the basis of the above statements of facts and findings, the Salem Board of Appeals voted five (5) in favor
(Ms. Curran— Chair, Mr. Watkins,Mr. Dionne, Ms. Harris, and Mr. Duffy), none (0) opposed, to approve the
Variances from: the required minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet to allow the creation of Lot A at 11,413
square feet and Lot B at 11,416 square feet; the required minimum lot frontage of 100 feet to allow a lot
frontage of 75.0 feet at Lot A and 75.0 feet at Lot B; the required minimum lot width of 100 feet to allow a
lot width of 74.26 feet at Lot A and 75.8 feet at Lot B; subject to the following terms, conditions, and
safeguards:
1. The Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, ordinances, codes and regulations.
2. Petitioner shall obtain street numbering from the City of Salem Assessor's Office and shall display
said number so as to be visible from the street.
3. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including, but l
not limited to, the Planning Board.

MEMORANDUM
To: City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals
From: John R. Keilty, Esquire
i
Date: January 14, 2014
Re: Peter Hantzopoulos, 13 Cherry Hill Avenue—Application for Variance
Peter Hantzopoulos bought, with his wife, three lots from Christ J. Decoulos on August 22, 1962
by Deed recorded at the Essex South District Registry of Deeds in Book 4971, Page 367.
The lots were shown as Lots 523, 525 and 527 on a plan dated October, 1925 and recorded in C
Plan Book 55 as Plan 17. i
The lots were 7,275 square feet, 7,609 square feet and 8,075 square feet and each had 50 feet of
frontage.
In 2013, Mr. Hantzopoulos conveyed the three lots to himself and his wife, Chrisoula, as
Trustees of an Irrevocable Trust.
At the time of purchase in 1962, each of the lots was buildable as individual lots.
r
In 1965, the City of Salem adopted Zoning and lots in R-1 Zoning were and are required to be F
15,000 square feet with 100 feet of frontage.
The application of the doctrine of merger dictates that upon the adoption of increased
dimensional requirements, adjoining lots in common ownership are deemed to be merged to
satisfy the new requirements.
Thusly, the three lots have become one lot having 22,829 square feet with 150 feet of frontage,
both of which exceed the present requirements in the R-1 Zoning District.
i
f
3
The application of current zoning requirements results in the creation of a lot very dissimilar to
the lots already built upon in the area. In all likelihood, it would also result in the construction of
a single family residence also, dissimilar to others in the neighborhood, mostly likely larger than
others.
I suggest the reduction of the three lots to one is an economic hardship and although there is no
doubt that economic hardship while real cannot, alone,justify the grant of a variance, it can be
considered when looking at other hardships such as the lack of sufficient frontage.
These hardships are not self created, nor did the applicant purchase non-conforming lots.
The proposal before the Board is a reasonable use of the land, will not substantially harm public
good or substantially derogate from the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance.
The grant of variance will not cause harm to the surrounding properties, nor would it be a
substantial departure from the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance, nor would it be
injurious to the homogeneity of the residential neighborhood.
These are modest variations from the requirements of the R-1 Zoning District.

120 Washington Street, 3rd Floor
Salem, MA 01970
Written Statement submitted by Peter K. Hantzopoulos and Chrisoula
Hantzopoulos,Trustees of the Hantzopoulos Family Irrevocable Trust 2013,
for a variance at 13 Cherry Hill Avenue, Salem, MA.
To Whom It May Concern:
We are proposing to divide the plot of land at 13 Cherry Hill Avenue in Salem, in the
R-1 Zoning district, into two plots, and respectfully request a variance.
The property when originally purchased was three separate lots. It was later
combined by the City of Salem into one lot.
Having this property as one lot poses a hardship as we have two daughters for
whom we would like to build homes and need two separate lots.
The desirable relief provided by the variance will not cause any detriment to the
public good, nor will it affect the character of the neighborhood negatively. In fact,
most of the surrounding lots with homes built on them have 50 ft. frontage and are
much smaller than the lots I am proposing for this variance.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Peter K. Hantzopoulos Chrisoula Hantzopoulos
