Re: 70-7Z Dearborn Street
Dear Chairman Bencal:
I am writing to express my opposition to the application of John and Patricia
Taft for a Variance from frontage requirements to allow the division of land and
subsequent construction of a single family dwelling at 70-72 Dearborn Street.
After hearing from several residents of this neighborhood, I feel strongly that
the granting of this Variance by the Board of Appeal will be detrimental to the
character of the surrounding neighborhood. I urge that you consider their concerns
when making a decision on this petition.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

OPPOSITION TO THE
PETITION OF JOHN & PATRICIA TAFT
A petition for a variance to allow the division of land
at 70-72 Dearborn St . and to allow the construction of a
single family dwelling has been submitted to the Salem Board
of Appeals.
As neighbors, we feel that it is necessary to maintain
the integrity of our neighborhood which includes adequate
spacing of the houses from each other . There is little
available open space in North Salem and the small , side lot
at 70-72 Dearborn provides some of it for the residents of
the neighborhood. Granting the petition will simply squeeze
the houses together more . We want to maintain our neighbor-
hood with adequate open space and good separation between the
houses .
We do not feel that any hardship exists that would allow
the granting of the variance .
We request that the petition be denied. 71113_�2

Id-
b
My name is Owen J. Meegan and I live at 65 Dearborn St .
I would like to oppose the petition of James Cahill and
John and Patricia Taft for a variance to divide the lot at
70-72 Dearborn Street . First , I would like to say that the
Cahills have been good neighbors to me and my family . I
respect the work that Jim has done for his community over the
years and the contributions that Mrs . Taft has made to the
city . Notwithstanding these contributions , I still have to
oppose the petition. It is not a personal matter .
Mr . and Mrs . Taft have alleged that enforcement of the
zoning would involve practical difficulty and unnecessary
hardship. I respectfully contend that failure to enforce the
laws would inflict a practical difficulty and an unnecessary
hardship on me , my family and my neighbors. I contend that
the allegation is inaccurate in that the lot in issue has
always been a small , vacent side lot .
STREET WIDTH
The street in front of 70-72 Dearborn Street is only 25
ft . wide . The house at 70 Dearborn that Jim Cahill- lives in
has only a one car garage with a small driveway. Extra cars
belonging to the Cahill family drive down a second driveway
and park on his side lot so as not to block the street . Any—
one buying Jim' s large house (4 bedrooms) will have two and
probably more cars . But there will be nowhere to park these
extra cars except on the street in front of my house if the
variance is granted. This will block the street . In my
recent memory , we have had two accidents involving Cahill
cars where cars struck parked cars .
HARDSHIP? PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY?
W bought our house in 1979 with notice that t zoning
laws re -uired 100 ft . lots. This is why__"_pa,i. 4g-mo-n�e.341 LZ
6-t-T—he ime) because we didn' t want-the cl ess of smaller
lots or ho sea jammed together . To remove he impediment of
the 100 ft . zoning will seriously advers y effect my pro-
perty and re ce its value. In F u r 1976, Jim bought the
side lot for $ 6, 500. having a t . f ntage on Dearborn
Street (that he * s nor trying t a lit off) . In April 1976 ,
Jim bought his ho se for '$ 0 nd it has a frontage on
Dearborn Street of 66 ft . real estate listing sheet I
saw sets out that J m i as ing $379,000 for the two parcels
together or $299 ,900 or the house on its 66 ft . lot .
Salem' s assessed v u of the property ( 100% value) is only
Xa, qO0
��,�� I fai to a e a "practical difficulty or unneces-
sary hardship" because m canit find buyers in 1991 who are
willing to y $379 ,000 r property he paid $77 , 500 for 14
years ago Not finding a uyer who will pay the "asking
price" oes not constitute '1practical difficulty or unne-
cess y hardship" . Inabilit to sell property at predeter-
mi ed price is not sanctioned a an unnecessary hardship
nder the legal interpretation of the zoning laws .
INTERFAMILY SALE
Mr . Cahill ' s petition sets out that he wishes to sell the
side lot to his daughter and son-in-law. But we all know
that there can be no alienation on the transfer of property
--- once the variance is given the land (or the land with a
house on it) can be transferred to anyone . It makes a good
"emotional" argument and anyone would want to help a father
sell (give?) his daughter a building lot , but zoning ordi-
nances are supposed to remove emotion from these issues and I
request the Board to ignore the issue of who the land is
being transferred to. It is not relevant .
GRANDFATHERED LOT
Another argument advanced by the petitioner was that the
lot was a legally buildable lot when he bought it . The rea-
son for allowing the "gradual" transition from the 60 ft .
requirement to the present 100 ft . was to prevent the very
type of petition we have here . Jim could have exercised
these rights for a while after he bought his land. But he
chose not to . He chose to enjoy the openness of his 150 ft .
lot . Now that he chooses to leave our community , all we ask
is that he leave it as he found it , not cluttered with
closely spaced houses built on lots with substandard fron-
tages.
DENSITY REQUIREMENTS
I sincerely question the petitioners position that the
building would conform to the density requirements . The lot
in question is very steep on the Dearborn St . side. Within
30 ft . of the street , it steeply slopes to the flood plain.
That is , the buildable area is probably less than about 2 ,000
sq . ft. ft. This is below the minimum density requirements .
More than once I have seen ducks and geese swimming in Jim' s
side lot when there is a very high tide. Assuming one could
build a house on the lot , it would have to be butt up against
the street .
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION CREATES TWO SUBSTANDARD LOTS
Most importantly is that the granting of this variance
would create not just one substandard lot , it creates two .
The lot at 72 Dearborn St . has an 84 ft . frontage --- but the
lot at 70 Dearborn St . (with the house already on it) would
have a frontage of only 66 ft . On Dearborn St . or Dearborn
Lane (north of Felt St . ) #70 would become the lot with the
smallest frontage and #72 would become the fourth smallest .
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
From Felt Street north, only two houses facing on Dear—
born St . or Dearborn Lane do not have frontages more then 100
ft . My house was built more than 75 years ago and O 'Brien' s
house conformed to the zoning when it was built .
The lots can be compared as follows :
Owner ot# Frontage (rank) area rank
O'Brien (4 80 #10 1224 #7
Gallant (487) 100 #8 400 #2
Cahill (486/499) 1 #1 32080 #1
Houle (500) 140 #3 22834 #3
Papalardo (502) 108 # 10192 #9
Dixon (503) 144 #2 13910 #6
voe (504) 120 5 10257 #8
Donahue (498) 107 #7 7139 #11
McManus\X (613) 1 #4 18072 #4
Meegan (612) 76 #11 16457 #5
Rakoc (611 90 #9 7553 #10
house faces on Felt St . an the 90ft .
represents lot depth.
Thus it can be seen that the median frontage on Dearborn
St . or Dearborn Lane is 108 ft . The median lot size is about
14735 sq. ft . Parenthetically , while my frontage is the
smallest , my area is 16 , 457 sq . ft . , the fifth largest and
above the median.
Granting a variance to allow a 66 ft . lot for Jim' s house
and allow a new building on an 84 ft . lot would be totally
out of character for the neighborhood .
I am submitting a petition that was circulated in the
neighborhood . Everyone on Dearborn St . and Dearborn Lane
(north of Felt St . ) , except Mrs. Gallant , signed the peti-
tion. Many other neighbors on other streets in the neighbor-
hood signed too.

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN & PATRICIA TAFT (PETIT%MRS) , JOHN
J. CAHILL JR. , (OWNER) FOR A VARIANCE AT 70-72 DEARBORN �SITY.
A hearing on this petition was held January 16, 1991 with the following Board
Members present: Richard Bencal , Chairman; Edward Luzinski , Richard Febonio,
Mary Jane Stirgwolt and Associate Member John Grady. 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.
Petitioners are requesting a Variance from the minimum lot width as defined in
the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance in order to divide two contiguous lots in this
R-1 zone, and to construct a single family dwelling at 72 Dearborn St.
The Variance which has 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 or 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 present at the
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . That the lot was previously designated as two lots and approved in the
original subdivision plan.
2. That at the time petitioner purchased the lot designated as number 70 he
already owned the lot designated as number 72.
3. That dividing the lots back to their original configuration, as requested,
would leave 70 Dearborn St. with 15,579 square feet and 72 Dearborn St. with
16,500 square feet, both having over the 15,000 square feet required by the
City of Salem Zoning Ordinance for an R-1 zone.
4. That the proposed single family dwelling will meet all setback requirements
of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance for an R-1 zone.
5. That there was support and opposition voiced at the hearing.
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN & PATRICIA TAFT (PETITIONERS) , JOHN J.
CAHILL JR. , (OWNER) FOR VARIANCE AT 70-72 DEARBORN ST. , SALEM
page two
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows :
1 . Special conditions exist which specifically affect the subject property but
not the district in general .

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN 6 PATRICIA TAFT (PETITIqffyWkf�y'�q�-H ,ASS
J. CAHILL JR. , (OWNER) FOR A VARIANCE AT 70-72 DEARBORN ST. (R-1 )
A hearing on this petition was held January 16, 1991 with the following Board
Members present: Richard Bencal , Chairman; Edward Luzinski , Richard Febonio,
Mary Jane Stirgwolt and Associate Member John Grady. 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.
Petitioners are requesting a Variance from the minimum lot width as defined in
the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance in order to divide two contiguous lots in this
R-1 zone, and to construct a single family dwelling at 72 Dearborn St.
The Variance which has 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 or 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 present at the
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . That the lot was previously designated as two lots and approved in the
original subdivision plan.
2. That at the time petitioner purchased the lot designated as number 70 he
already owned the lot designated as number 72.
3. That dividing the lots back to their original configuration, as requested,
would leave 70 Dearborn St. with 15,579 square feet and 72 Dearborn St. with
16,500 square feet, both having over the 15,000 square feet required by the
City of Salem Zoning Ordinance for an R-1 zone.
4. That the proposed single family dwelling will meet all setback requirements
of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance for an R-1 zone.
5. That there was support and opposition voiced at the hearing.

N/A
The Undersigned hereby petitions the Board of Appeals to vary the terms of the Salem
Zoning Ordinance
as the enforcement of said
Zoning By-Laws artdckud4d$=;xes" would involve practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the Undersigned and relief -may be granted without substantially dero-
gating from the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance uxAx2vb1*)R9o0ode for
the follo-aing reasons:
The Owne2; nurchased the vacant lot containing 70 feet of frontage with 15,579 scruare
feet in Febilia'ry 13, 1976, which at that time was a legal size and buildable lot. On Anril
30, 1976, the Owner iDurchased the immediately adjacent property with the dwelling house in
which he vresently resides which at the tine was also a legal sized lot, The two lots,
however, merged into one lot by the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance Section VIII (B-3) on
may 5, 1977, which now requires the present 100 feet of frontage and 15,000 square feet of
land.
The owner desires to transfer the vacant lot to his daughter and son-in�law who pro'pose
to erect a single familv dwelling house thereon. The house to be constructed would conform
in all other respects to all density regulations except frontage., Both lots are
considerably larger than most lots in the neighborhood on which houses have been erected,
It. is submitted that the division of the lots shall not be detrimental to the neighborhood
and thetwo lots are substantiallylartjer than the other existing non-conformingr lots,

The undersigned represent that they ivc are the cwners/o� a certain parcel of la;d located

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .; -a i., parcel is affected by Scction(s) . . . . . . . .
of the ;.Iassachusetts State Building Code.
Plans dcscribing the worl< proposed, have been sub,Atted to the Inspector of Buildings in
accorda:ice �-Jth Section IX A. 1 ol the Zoning Ordinance.
This is a direct .anueal for the division of land into two lots, the first which would
corWain 6EF�28 f t of frontage and 16,500 sa. ft. of land and the SeCond which would
coqlain 8f�6feet;,of frontage "'and 15,579 square feet of land.
LLJ
a_
:�-
a)
The Application for Permit was- denied by the Inspector of Buildings for the following
reasons:
N/A
The Undersigned hereby petitions the Board of Appeals to vary the termq of the Salem
Zoning Ordinance
as the enforcement of said
Zoning By-Laws andcAkj4 ft" would involve practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the Undersigned and relief -may be granted without substantially dero-
gating from the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance for
the following reasons:
The (>jxieK.purchased the vacant lot containing 70 feet of frontage with 15,579 scruare
feet in Febeiia'ry 13, 1976, which at that time was a legal size and buildable lot. On Anril
30, 1976, the Owner ourchased the immediately adjacent property with the dwelling house in
which he presently resides which at the tine was also a legal sized lot. The two lots,
however, merged into one lot by the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance SectionVIII(B,3) on
May 5, 1977, which now requires the present 100 feet of frontage and 15,000 square feet of
land.
The Owner desires to transfer the vacant lot to his daughter and son-in-law who nropose
to erect a single family dwelling house thereon, The house to be 'constructed would C`Oni�rrft
in all other resoects to all density regulations except frontage, Both lots are
considerably larger than most lots in the neighborhood on which houses have been erected,
It- is submitted that the division of the lots shall not be detrimental to the neighborhood
and thetwo lots are substantiallylarqer than the other existing non-,conforning lots,
