OF THE PETITION OF THE CITY OF SALEM REQUESTING A
VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2245-249 DERBY STREET (B-5)
A hearing on this petition was held September 20, 1995 with the following
Board members present: Stephen Touchette, Chairman; Gary Barrett, Albert
Hill, Nina Cohen, ;oseph Ywuc and Arthur LeBrecque. ' otice 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, owners of the property request a Variance for lot coverage,
side and rear setbacks to construct a parking garage for the property
located at 245-249 Derby Street (B-5) .
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of this
Board that:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the
land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting
other land, buildings, or structures in the same district.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogation from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful considerations the evidence presented at
the hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
1. City Planner, William Luster presented the petition and described
City's efforts to accommodate concerns expressed by an abutter to
the property.
2. There was no opposition to the petition.
3. Dan Dyer, from the architectural firm of Miller, Dyer & Spears
presented plans for the proposed garage and described the proposed
project, including design changes made to address concerns expressed by
the abutter to the subject property.
4. Donald J. Clarke, 6 Brown Court, an abutter to the property, spoke in
favor of the petition as long as the decision incorporates certain
conditions agreed to by the City in negotiations to address his
concerns about security, snow removal & short term parking.
5. City Planner, William Luster expressed the City's agreement with the
conditions proposed by Mr. Clarke.
6. The proposed garage will provide the area with much needed off-street
parking spaces supporting economic development efforts in the
surrounding area.
7. The requirements of bay construction and the ramping system for the
garage made it impractical to meet lot coverage and set back
requirements.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearings, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
